"Paresse et lâcheté sont les causes qui expliquent qu'un si grand nombre d'hommes, alors que la nature les a affranchis depuis longtemps de toute tutelle étrangère, restent cependant volontiers, leur vie durant, mineurs; et qu'il soit si facile à d'autres de les diriger." -IK

A lot of teams would have given up after conceding then. We didn’t. Villa so poor it still feels like points dropped at home. #SAFC

Ballard is unreal we may need to find a way to play 3 4 3 😅 #SAFC

WWWWWWIIIILLLSSSOSSOOOONNNNNNNNNN #SAFC

Disappointing from Roefs to be beaten from there. Unlucky he has been so good thus far. #SAFC

I love seeing half the villa team on the floor after our corner 😂 #SAFC

Alderete what a warrior so unlucky there. #SAFC

Good to get in level and a chance to regroup here. These are nothing special. All to play for in the second half. Will need to find a way to hold on to the ball at times or at least execute the transitions better. #SAFC

Absolutely stupid by Reinildo. Well-deserved red. #SAFC

Roefs could be some signing. Penalty save last time out and probably saved us the point today. #SAFC

Good point and lots of positives. I wouldn’t want to see our XG through four games. You get the feeling at some point we will need to start creating more chances. #SAFC

We need to get Adingra running at Richards #SAFC

Maybe struggling to get the wingers involved but otherwise another game where the defenders and Xhaka look very comfortable in possession. Sadicki looks on it. #SAFC
