Caretaker Aston Villa manager Kevin MacDonald failed to rouse his players in the fourth round of the League Cup, who suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Southampton.

Saints defender Maya Yoshida opened the scoring with a rasping left-footed drive on 51 minutes, before Italian striker Graziano Pelle sealed the game by smashing in a well executed volley from a sublime Dusan Tadic pass.
As the game petered out to its conclusion, Scott Sinclair converted a penalty with virtually the last kick of the game, which couldn’t paper over the significant problems facing a relegation threatened Villa.
It was yet another miserable evening for Aston Villa who are a club in complete disarray at the present time.
Things don’t get any easier for the Villans on Monday night when they travel away to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Here is some of the best reaction from Twitter after Villa’s poor performance:
Another routine defeat for Aston Villa. It’s great being a Villa fan! 🙁 #avfc

Good result.. eventually. Credit to Villa. Their fans never stopped singing. Shame the way their club is being run. #AVFC #SAINTSFC — Will Robinson (@WillRobinson8) October 28, 2015
Ayew starting to look the part, needs to be played as a striker and not on the wing though. #AVFC

Where is our next win going to come from? We could get Guardiola in and still wouldnt win any of the next 3 games. 3 nailed on defeats #avfc — James AVFC (@gortavfc) October 28, 2015
It is very sad that our famous old club has totally lost its identity thanks to people who do not have a clue about football #avfc #fact — Nigel Moore ⚽️ (@Moorski7) October 28, 2015

One thing that stood out tonight regardless: we actually had a “formation” of some sort. #AVFC — The Holte (@TheHolteTweets) October 28, 2015
£50 million spent. Whole new squad. Words can’t explain your fans. Yet, you find ways to disappoint every weekend. Who’s responsible? #avfc — k y l e (@Kilepain) October 28, 2015
Jack Grealish socks are the worst thing in football. How are they allowed!? #SaintsFC #AVFC — Sam Ridout (@sridout92) October 28, 2015
