Bit less confident than I was yesterday.
-
Defence could be an issue then.
-
Bit less confident than I was yesterday.
Same here. Tense 90 mins ahead.
-
Quite a few appearance landmarks for the players according to Statto
Matty Cash starts his 150th Premier League game
Ian Maatsen makes his 40th Premier League appearance for Villa
Amadou Onana makes his 100th Premier League appearance
Youri Tielemans starts his 60th Premier League game for Villa
Ollie Watkins makes his 200th Premier League appearance
-
If we can get decent money for Martinez we should take it. He's the biggest fanny since Ron Vlaar.
-
Not overly confident about this.
-
Gone from thinking we might win to be very happy with a draw.
-
What’s wrong with Martinez now? FFS!
-
I’m fearing corners.
-
I guess if Elliott not in this squad we are now negotiating with Liverpool?
-
Fuck.
-
If we can get decent money for Martinez we should take it. He's the biggest fanny since Ron Vlaar.
He’s rarely missed a game since joining us. He’s got a back issue which likely makes diving and stretching for stuff a little more challenging. By your assessment Dr Cd we may as well sell Onana, Tielemans, Barkley, Kamara, Mings, Buendia as well.
-
Pau missing is a big problem.
-
They'll be compact & try to break the offside. If we can start well, the crowd will turn on them.
There's nothing to fear providing we don't give any gifts away.

Like Bono's, I believe CD's is an honorary doctorate (of law) rather than him being a medical practitioner.
-
They had a good training session in Basel. They'll be fine*
*Or possibly not.
-
Well, if you want to mix it at the top of the table these days, you have to use your squad. But losing Pau and Martinez is going to make playing out from the back a lot harder.
If they press us high and hard, we might come unstuck today.
-
I guess if Elliott not in this squad we are now negotiating with Liverpool?
Who cares, its boring now
-

*Or possibly not.
Are you a doctorate of law, honorary or otherwise?
-

???
-
As others I m worried about back five getting under pressure and a couple there then getting into mistakes. Shifting to a positive they take the positives from Basel grow further and stands up to the occasion even without some of the key players.
-

I would tell you. But then I'd have to invoice you.
-
Often seem to struggle to create when Pau Torres is out.
-
While it is natural to feel a little more concerned without two of our top players and both a part of our defence, we also need to reassure ourselves that there is a good reason why this lot are in the bottom 3. They are quite shit. Take the game to them and their fans will turn on the players and board immediately.
-
Bit less confident than I was yesterday.
Same as
-
Not so worried about Bizot. Pau is a big miss though. Look strong midfield
-
I have to admit I don't fancy us today...having won 9 of the last 10, I think we are long overdue a defeat; the atmosphere around the Billy Bonds tribute and now the goalie out.
I hope I am wrong.
-
Pau missing is a big problem.
Less so after Lindelof's performance midweek, I feel. Not ideal though, for sure.
Not surprised he's not playing today, it was quite odd him coming off vs Arsenal just before the end, so there must be an issue there. Even if it's only a niggle, makes sense to rest him for next week.
-
In the mad dance to celebrate Buendia's goal Pau came on the pitch sporting a large bag of ice strapped to his upper calf.
-
Without wanting to be disrespectful to West Ham, if we have players with niggling injuries it makes more sense to rest them against teams at the bottom of the league table.
We need to keep the squad fresh if we’re to keep up momentum at the business end of the season, and having players playing through injuries doesn’t achieve that imo.
-
Will take a draw now to break the winning run. Rather that than lose against those ****s next week!
-
It makes sense to leave them out when there's the rarity of a week with no game, give them the best chance of recovery.
-
Midfield's got to be on it today, especially when we lose the ball.
-
We’ve still got the midfield and attack! UTV
-
For those who are looking to watch on Sky, you can view the most in form side in the PL on Sky Sports Tennis. Because where else would we be?
-
I’m not sure Bizot is such a big upgrade on Olsen. Hope he proves me wrong and has a blinder.
-

We already know the most in-form side.
-
I’m not sure Bizot is such a big upgrade on Olsen. Hope he proves me wrong and has a blinder.
He’s a massive upgrade on Olsen. Yes he’s made a couple of gaffs on crosses but his overall shot stopping and distribution is a lot better.
-
For those who are looking to watch on Sky, you can view the most in form side in the PL on Sky Sports Tennis. Because where else would we be?
I'd expect the Villa women to be on there seeing as they lost 6-1.
-
We are going have to weather the first 15 minutes. They’re going to come out strong after all the Billy bonds stuff.
-
FFS 1-0
-
Ffs.
-
Crap start.
-
Nice one Konsa
-
Oh FFS!
-
That's pathetic
-
Fucking about at the back…fucking,hell
-
We are going have to weather the first 15 minutes. They’re going to come out strong after all the Billy bonds stuff.
If only they listened to you.
-
Our back 5 certainly looks a lot weaker today but we have the benefit of that game on Thursday to develop some cohesion between them....
Thanks Konsa
-
That is embarrassing.
-
PUT YOUR FUCKING FOOT THROUGH IT
-
We are going have to weather the first 15 minutes. They’re going to come out strong after all the Billy bonds stuff.
Fucking Konsa pissing about
-
Holy whot. WTAF???
-
Un-fucking-believable.
-
Fucks sake
-
Very unlike Konsa but that was comedy hour defending.
-
Fuck sake. 31 seconds.
-
Konsa fucked it up bigtime
-
Konsa sleep walking.
-
Fuck sake. 31 seconds.
A new record?
-
Well, if you want to mix it at the top of the table these days, you have to use your squad. But losing Pau and Martinez is going to make playing out from the back a lot harder.
If they press us high and hard, we might come unstuck today.
I'm now going to predict we will come back from this.
-
Konsa’s been threatening to do that recently. Twat!
-
With every sentence I read of that Sunday Times profile of Unai, the certainty we'd fuck it up today piled on.
-
There is a time to be Billy bollocks and dwell on the ball…..and a time to hoof it
-
Did Konsa mouth-off and complain like he does when we usually concede?
-
29 seconds according to the BBC.
-
Fuck sake. 31 seconds.
A new record?
This season, yes
-
Seem to always concede first away from home. Best to get it out the way early.
-
Mr amfy just sat down to watch the game, went 'Go on! Yeeeessssss!!!!!' While I sat there & went 'WTF is the matter with you? West Ham away?' Oh!
-
Ginny is developing a habit of holding on the ball just a little bit too long
-
Was that the first shot on target?!
-
With every sentence I read of that Sunday Times profile of Unai, the certainty we'd fuck it up today piled on.
There's something about this club. You just know the shit's going to go wrong immediately.
-
We just can’t be expecting to comeback in games. I am afraid this one could be bridge too far.
-
Seems wrong supporting the team in blue and white against the team in claret and blue
-
Ginny is developing a habit of holding on the ball just a little bit too long
Been watching Konsa
-
Why dont they talk about befroe the start of the game not letting in an easy goal during the first minutes? It happens agian and again. You kind of think before the game that it will not happen this time and then it does. Very demotivating have to say.
-
For anyone that wants to see the goal
https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/2000205415108215228
-
Unfortunately, I think we haven’t seen the end of fuck ups today.
-
Seems wrong supporting the team in blue and white against the team in claret and blue
Well I guess that is Mr amf’s excuse!
-
It's just the way we always play. It's high-risk, high-reward and sometimes mistakes happen.
There's a long way to go in this.
-
1-1
-
Yeeeeeesssssssss
-
Ollie!!!!
-
We just can’t be expecting to comeback in games. I am afraid this one could be bridge too far.
Good film
-
Ollie Ollie Ollie
-
OG or Ollie
-
That's better
-
Ollie!
-
That’s a brilliant header.
Edit: Looks like an OG.
-
Stick it in the box, stick it in the net, simple as, nuff said.
-
I was going to say that was unusually sharp for Ollie
-
OLLIEEE!!!!
-
Well, if you want to mix it at the top of the table these days, you have to use your squad. But losing Pau and Martinez is going to make playing out from the back a lot harder.
If they press us high and hard, we might come unstuck today.
I'm now going to predict we will come back from this.
I'm buying a lottery ticket.
-
Own goal actually
-
That’s a brilliant header.
By the West Ham player 🙂
-
Never in doubt 😀
-
Don't fuck about now ffs.
-
Oggy, oggy, oggy!
-
NO MORE GIFTS!
-
Now we know they are shaky at the back!
-
There you go, much more like it.
-
I was going to say that was unusually sharp for Ollie
Yeha he should have got his head on it tbh we got lucky.
-
What a goal from watkins. What a finisher he is!!!!!
-
Yessss, get in!
-
Super ball from super John mcginn
-
Their fans are insane.
-
Their fans are insane.
In the brain?
-
1-1
https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/2000207360262906125
-
Can we at least add it to his goal contributions?
-
Their fans are insane.
In the brain?
In the membrane, more specifically.
-

That's the one
-

I've asked the Dubious Smirks Panel and they say no. ☹️
-
I’m surprised we are conceding so much space and time to them when they have the ball.
-
Currently credited to Ollie. Either way SJM and Ollie deserve praise for it.
-
Seems wrong supporting the team in blue and white against the team in claret and blue
Come on, it's not (y)our first rodeo.
-
Seem to have a deliberate build up today of incredibly slow and then suddenly fast
-
They like to play on the counter usually so we are allowing them the ball.
-
Unfortunately, I think we haven’t seen the end of fuck ups today.
FTFY
-
Seems wrong supporting the team in blue and white against the team in claret and blue
Neither team is playing in claret and blue.
-
Currently credited to Ollie. Either way SJM and Ollie deserve praise for it.
Now an own goal so we are 1-1 with no shots and an xG of 0.
-
Seems wrong supporting the team in blue and white against the team in claret and blue
Neither team is playing in claret and blue.
I realised that as soon as I posted but hoped nobody would notice! They do have narrow bands of blue on their shirts though
-
Shame for Ollie it’s an own goal. But glad he got in there to force it. We could do with actually getting a shot or two in. 20 minutes and not even a shot so far isn’t good for all our possession.
-
2-1 Bowen
-
Bollocks.
-
Come on VAR!!!!
-
What the fuck is this game?
-
Defending like ******.
Allowing them far too much time on the ball.
No press anywhere on the pitch
And Konsa is playing like an amateur
-
Pathetic from Konsa again
-
This is really poor so far. Really fucking poor
-
Konsa having a shocker.
-
They’ve only had two attacks!
-
2 shots 2 goals conceded. Konsa not covering himself in glory.
-
Konsa has been awful today.
-
Konsa is having a disastrous fame here. At fault for both goals. Two horrendous errors.
-
konsa playing him onside
-
They’ve had nothing but yet they have two goals
-
They’ve only had two attacks!
We've had none.
-
Konsa having a mare.
-
Konsa is having a nightmare here. So frustrating
-
Konsa is asleep
-
Pathetic
-
Another fucking gift
-
Fucking hell again.
-
Double bollocks!
-
Looked offside
-
Looked offside
But wasn't
-
Defending like twats.
No pressure or press anywhere on the pitch
No attacking intent.
What are we actually doing ?
-
FFS Konsa's havin a mare!
-
Maybe don't concede a goal every time they have the ball in our half.
-
Konsa played him inside. Wake up lad ffs.
-
Konsa played him inside. Wake up lad ffs.
Bowen was onside but it looked offside in the build up.
-
Forest ahead.
-
Unfortunately, I think we haven’t seen the end of fuck ups today.
FTFY
You didn’t fix it very well. Shit play by Konsa yet again. Far to fucking casual.
-
Garbage, they are playing against a really poor team and some poor attitudes out there.
-
Konsa needs to wake up, he's having his worst game for ages.
-
I had a bad feeling today but was hopeful, I think that hope was misplaced
-
Have we had a shot yet? Doesn’t feel like it.
-
Two bad mistakes by Konsa.
-
Maatsen is having a mare…..has had a few opportunities going forward and done nothing of note
-
Annoying because we were on top. Two fuck ups from Konsa and we're somehow losing.
-
Fuck off ref.
-
Pau makes Konsa look better.
-
I'm not worried I think we'll gain control of the game and our quality will be too much but I'm not happy so far.
It would be great if Watkins could step up and get some goals.
-
We know Konsa is class, but he is not so classy he can stroll through a game
-
Villa doing Villa things. Playing down to the level of the opponent.
-
surely more goals in this...two dodgy defences
-
Taylor's such an overrated ref.
-
Konsa needs a rocket up his arse
-
Maatsen is having a mare…..has had a few opportunities going forward and done nothing of note
Apart from playing a beaut of a ball to release Rogers
-
He had just got his head to a cross. I would be looking at all the space on the edge of the box with no Villa players there more then blaming Konsa being a fraction too slow to recover.
-
This is the most Villa thing ever so far.
-
Fucking hell Villa. We are easily better than them but every time they attack we gift them a goal. Bedshitting mode: activated. Who the hell mentioned title race, look what you've done.
-
We are far the better team then our right hand side defence and no Martinez to save them.
-
West Ham have had 35% possession, 3 shots, 2 on target, 2 goals. We haven’t yet had a shot let alone one on target. Dreadful
-
34 mins in and we haven't had a shot.
-
Are we drunk?
-
Are we drunk?
I wish I were.
-
Annoying because we were on top. Two fuck ups from Konsa and we're somehow losing.
We have had it too easy if anything on the balance of play. Onana is annoying me already, contributes very little in general play. Tielemans to drop in there at half time hopefully and Buendia on.
-
Why has Unai told them to go out a walk through the game ?
-
positive press since Arsenal might gone to their heads.
-
The two times we've crossed it into their box they've conceded and gave a corner away.Then we decided not to bother with this tactic.Bizarre.
-
Thursday night and huge effort last Saturday catching up with us. No surprise.
-
Are we drunk?
Too many players have read the praise showered at them and figured they’ve made it. Fucking need a reality check and reminder at HT they’ve achieved nothing at all. This is monumentally shit so far.
-
What in the name of FUCK was that???
-
Are we drunk?

It happens every single time.
-
What kind of lower league, amateur footballer shit was that from Ollie.
-
Fucking useless Watkins
-
Nuno needs to fuck off and coach in Spain or somewhere. And he can take fucking Glasner with him.
-
Fucking hell Watkins.
The first time we have opened the, up and he decides to give them the ball back
-
Pathetic by Watkins
-
Why are we som shit in the final third?
-
Thursday night and huge effort last Saturday catching up with us. No surprise.
No.
-
What kind of lower league, amateur footballer shit was that from Ollie.
The same kind that has been his modus operandi all season!
-
ffs that was a great move before watkins shit the bed on the edge of the box
-
Why are we som shit in the final third?
Or the first third
-
Maatsen having the worst game I have seen him have for us
-
just seen the best break of the match and ollie.... ffs
-
This is all quite, quite bad.
-
They're going for the diagonal in behind Cash to Diouf every time. And it's working.
-
I've been hopeful Watkins will turn things around and been a staunch defender of him but fuck me sideways, he does make it difficult for me.
-
Title challengers were having a laugh
-
Kamara booked which isn't good for us in a game like this.
-
No shots Villa are back.
-
really poor first half - not doing anything well at all.
-
This is just rubbish, from front to back.
-
I've been hopeful Watkins will turn things around and been a staunch defender of him but fuck me sideways, he does make it difficult for me.
It's because he's not very good most of the time.
-
Title challengers were having a laugh
That's the spirit.
Good to see the villa misery arse tradition is alive and well after 9 wins in 10
-
Playing Manure anywhere. Playing Palace or playing a Nuno lead team at his home ground. All guaranteed losses.
-
ffs that was a great move before watkins shit the bed on the edge of the box
he hadn't got a clue what to do - that was pathetic
-
Walking and jogging percentages have been high this half.
-
Playing Manure anywhere. Playing Palace or playing a Nuno lead team at home. All guaranteed losses.
Don't forget Newcastle away and every Boxing Day match.
-
Maatsen having the worst game I have seen him have for us
Count yourself lucky you missed him at Old Trafford last season. He's a long way from Konsa's level today.
-
Title challengers were having a laugh
That's the spirit.

Indeed
-
Playing Manure anywhere. Playing Palace or playing a Nuno lead team at home. All guaranteed losses.
Don't forget Newcastle away and every Boxing Day match.
And any one-off, must-win games.
-
As a club we really do have a tradition for making shit sides look good. How much room are we giving Bowen??
-
Smash the fucking paella pan at them Unai.
-
For me:
Kamara and Watkins off
Buendia and Malen on
Please.
-
Can someone tell those useless Palace twats that they're playing Villa?
-
They'll be thinking
We haven't done much but we're 2-1 up, woohoo. If we get into it a bit more we can stuff Villa.
We should be thinking - we've dominated possession and passing etc., we've got control, let's just cut out the sloppiness and create some proper chances.
Time for Unai to weave his magic: Half time bollockings/pep talk? And his typically effective 2nd half substitutions.
-
Cash now booked. Can see us going to 10 men and losing this embarassingly.
-
As a club we really do have a tradition for making shit sides look good. How much room are we giving Bowen??
To be fair that have had all week to prepare for this game, we have had 48 hours
-
Cash now booked. Can see us going to 10 men and losing this embarassingly.
This is known as catastrophising, I believe!
-
We want our November Villa back.
-
Our passing is woeful and 2nd ball recovery awful.
But like Brighton we can still win this if we get out shit together.
-
I would settle for last Saturdays Villa.
-
Seems like we are taking the season of giving a little too literaly.
-
It's 2-1. Far from over. Get our shit together we still win this.
-
Fucking about at the back 30 seconds before half time.
-
As a club we really do have a tradition for making shit sides look good. How much room are we giving Bowen??
To be fair that have had all week to prepare for this game, we have had 48 hours
Agree but it's not long ago we made the Worst Woves side in history look like title contenders.
-
Jesus Christ Maatsen!
-
Unlucky Morgan
-
West Ham have had to do very little to be in this position.
Sit deep and watch us huff and puff with no quality, no intent and no quality
-
I would settle for last Saturdays Villa.
I played around with that but I didn't think, "we want out November and half of December including last Saturdays Villa back" rolled off the tongue.
-
Another shit half.
-
Well that was crap
-
I think we're over complicating this. Just put the ball into the box,run the channels,have a shot.
-
West Ham have had to do very little to be in this position.
Sit deep and watch us huff and puff with no quality, no intent and no quality
Maybe no quality either.
-
It's a half time changes game. Digne and Malen on. Be tempted by Buendia for Onana and Tielemans back to 8 as well.
-
Get Garcia on for Cash as he’s on a booking.
-
Hope Emery goes mental at them.
-
Definitely need Tielemans at 8. 10 is OK if we had Pau being able to play it from the back.
-
I suspect a few arses will be kicked, that was unacceptable crap.
-
Boooooo!
Not really, but that was shite.
-
Can somebody switch Ezri back on at half time please.
-
0.04 xG at half time
-
Not great - we look tired for the first time in a while.
Cash, Kamara and McGinn who have been imperious look shagged.
Agree with others Digne and Malen please. 10 more and Buendia.
Very annoying 2 goals to concede. Then again ours must have been too from their perspective.
-
0.04 xG at half time
Probably a cubed root in their too
-
Maatsen and Onana poor. Need a genius second half from Unai. Still think we'll win like the Brighton game.
-
All you have to do at places like this is not give silly goals away. Konsa, Onana, Maatsen - all poor.
Ollie Watkins legs have gone a bit I’m afraid. He looks lost. Malen on now please!
-
This was a game many of us feared. We have seen it before.
A half arsed approach to a game that we should have attacked
-
Looking forward to our better half whilst I'm at work.
-
I'd take the draw
-
Right! That was our crap half!
Come on Villa. Bogarde for Konsa?
-
Youri has to play deeper to unlock their low block. We're making a crap team look like Barcelona.
I'm hoping this was our 'conserve energy' half and now we start playing with more urgency.
-
With Pau he makes such a difference. The game is very crowded and his passing is missed.
-

I’m not sure they look anything like Barcelona… they look exactly like what they are: a very very average side with a manager who sets teams up to win ugly.
-
With Pau he makes such a difference. The game is very crowded and his passing is missed.
Shows how much he gives us.
-
Not one shot on goal, we dominate posession but do nothing with it, Watson missing Konsa, shit
put players on who will put the effort in.
-
Onana is far too sloppy or half asleep. Watkins hasn’t been in it and is offering little apart from his contribution to our goal. We need to get our shot together because overall it’s poor given the opposition.
-
I’m also not sure Torres would’ve made much difference. The passing out from tb back has been fine. We just look tired in midfield and our CF has passed his peak - no jeopardy for their defenders. Fresh legs required at HT.
-
Quite a few saying that was crap, I thought we controlled most of the first half but gave away two bad goals. Malen on for Watkins on 60 minutes wouldn't go amiss. Sancho on for McGinn and Rogers to go over to the right hand side with Sancho on the left.
-
It's a half time changes game. Digne and Malen on. Be tempted by Buendia for Onana and Tielemans back to 8 as well.
No space for Malen to run into. But he did make a big impact at Leeds when he came on next to Watkins. Buendia for Onana anyway, that's the obvious one for me. Kamara hardly involved either, needs a kick up the arse.
I didn't see replays but were our yellow cards ridiculously soft?
-
Watching their second goal again I imagine Ezri is getting a right bollocking right now as he knows Unais religion for getting out fast. He was ambling
-
That error from Konsa has been coming for weeks. Usually he passes the problem on to Cash or falls on the floor.
We've played at a pace like we're waiting for penalties. There's no space for opening them up, they'll continue to sit in & wait for us to gift them something. That pattern won't change, so we need to do something different.
Onana off & Buendia or Sancho on, Tielemans back in central midfield.
-
It was crap.

Yes
-

Disagree, think he's linked well with Rogers

Soft yellows? Two words. Anthony Taylor.
-
Konsa usually throws himself to the ground in those situations then gets up and moans at everyone around him. He was just standing still with his arm in the air for their second
-
West Ham have had to do very little to be in this position.
Sit deep and watch us huff and puff with no quality, no intent and no quality
Maybe no quality either.
Little or no quality...
-
Is it me or does Nuno have a good record against us?
-
Anthony 'I'm going red card' Taylor. Bellend.
-
Emery hates those fucking bubbles.
-
Is it me or does Nuno have a good record against us?
You don't, he does.
-
If it hadn't been for a couple of individual fucks ups it would have been a fine UE first half. 0-0 or maybe ahead, hit them second half as we make changes. Instead Konsa tackled himself to gift a goal after a few seconds, then slow reactions let them score a deflection as we were getting on top.
-
Those fucking bubbles. Twats.
-
Emery hates those fucking bubbles.
He's not the only one.
-
Potts sticking his elbow into Uri. Dirty fucker.
-
2-2 MORGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I think he needs to bring Tielemans back to the base of midfield. We need his passing there.
-
Sexy times.
-
Morgan boyyyyyyyyy
-
This could be easy if we want it.
-
That really is a very fine, very calm bit of finishing, fuck me is he good.
-
Thank fook for that
-
YOU CAN'T DODGE THE RODGE!
-
There, that's how easy it is
-
Nice, another one please.
-
Sexy times.
The return of sexy times 8)
-
Fucking gerrrrinyabastaaard!
-
Great goal that. Much better!
-
Now don't fuck this up Villa!
-
EVERY cross into their box fucks them.Told ya!
-
Get in. Time to get serious now, Villa, and not let them back in
-
Quality goal, West Ham there for the taking if we can up the intensity any bit.
-
Now, let's get hold of the game, stop fucking about and show these Cockernee tossers what we're really all about.
-
Brilliant goal!
-
Ollie needs to pull,his fucking finger out
-
Watkins is seeing a football for the first time.
-
Watkins has two anvils for feet 95% of the time.
-
Watkins is actively both ruining attacks and putting us in trouble by holding on to the ball too long now.
-
Watkins is seeing a football for the first time.
Every time he gets it, you can see he doesn't know what to do with it. Takes way, way too many touches.
-
Get him off Unai. He's breaking up our own attacks.
-
Bizot is a decent shot stopper….but fuck me he’s bad on crosses
-
Watkins has two anvils for feet 95% of the time.
Maybe he's changed his boots.Remember Billy's Boots?
-
Since when is stopping a free kick being taken not a booking?
-
Watkins is actively both ruining attacks and putting us in trouble by holding on to the ball too long now.
The way he always chooses the right self-checkout at Aldi though, nobody ever wants to give him the credit for that.
-
Bizot is a decent shot stopper….but fuck me he’s bad on crosses
Yeh it’s concerning. He does a lot of things really well but that’s a basic one. Especially playing in England where high crosses are always going to be an oft used tactic.
-
Bizot is a decent shot stopper….but fuck me he’s bad on crosses
The trouble is he seems much shorter than Emi so struggles with crosses that Emi just plucks out of the air.
-
Watkins did linger on it a bit but I'm not sure how it wasn't a free kick, Ollie probably needed to throw himself to the ground.
In general getting free kicks from Taylor seems to largely rely on on being as dramatic as fuck with a few rolls or a scream thrown in.
-
Ollie will score in a minute. That’s the only thing that will help mask the deficiencies in his overall game right now.
-
Ollie needs to pull,his fucking finger out
Brutal getting caught offside there too
-
In the hope that I jinx it positively Watkins is now a waste of a shirt.
-
How the bookies have Watkins as favourite to be the next to score or assist is beyond.
-

It doesn't work if you say it out loud.
-
Get Onana off ffs and maybe Watkins too
-
Since when is stopping a free kick being taken not a booking?
Taylor was conveniently claiming the ball was moving when that kick was taken. Don't know if that was correct.
-
We seem to be our own worse enemies today.
Gifting the ball back to them, all over the pitch.
-

Bizot 6'4"
Dibu 6'5"
-

Maybe because he's our all time Premier league goal scorer going through a lean patch.
-
onana off youri deeper malen on

And no-one else looks all that likely. As in it could be 1 of a dozen
-
onana off youri deeper malen on
Normally I’d agree with you but I don’t think he can take Onana off today because the set pieces!
-
Hate a keeper that punches every catchable cross.

This line doesn't cut it anymore. We are well beyond lean patch territory. Did Leon Bailey get the same patience?
-
Malen on for Onana
-
At this point I would be ok with a point.
-
Malen, Malen, Malen
-
At this point I would be ok with a point.
It would be a two massive points dropped.
-
Ah there you go Juan Pablo
-
Cmon Donny bring us home son
-
Malen doing better in 4 seconds
-
Some power in that. McGinn has been very good again, wins some amount of turnover. C'mon lads
-
Watch Ollie’s reaction to the cross from Malen……completely on his heels
Very disappointing

Has Leon Bailey contributed as much over the last few seasons as Ollie has? It's all about opinions I guess.
-
Look hungrier now
-
Last week we won a game in injury time this week the losing team won a game in injury time....just saying mirrors and all that.
-
Well done lino
-
Phew close
-
Fcuk me we are playing shite.
-
Look hungrier now
Wham?
-
Look hungrier now
Wham?
Duran?
-
Phew.
-
Disallowed goal again came from us fucking around at the back. Kamara had chances to clear and got robbed close by the corner flag
-
Well done lino
Konsa very lucky there
-
good call lino
-
A win even more important given Arsenal won and Man City now 2-0 up at Palace
-
Ah there you go Juan Pablo
call me Unai :)
-
Kamara was lucky before that he pulled a players shorts down.
-
At this point I would be ok with a point.
It would be a two massive points dropped.
It would but we're having an off day here.
-
Maybe Bogarde for Kamara?
-
good call lino
Wakes wakey Villa.
-
A point away when you play shit isn't a disaster if that's how it finishes.
-

Sure but it’s teams that also win on an off days that are the most successful. We’ve found all manner of ways to win this season so hopefully we do so again today.
-
Ollie is becoming a liability here. Giving fouls away all over the place
-
Stop giving them corners!!!
-
stop the back stuff and get direct more , malen is on ffs
-
Kamara was lucky before that he pulled a players shorts down.
As we know from Helenius. Doing that is never a foul.
-
Watkins body language is awful
-
Bizot doing his full Dracula impression. Terrified of crosses.
-
Bowen has been pants
-
Digne and Buendia coming on
-
C'mon Emi bring us some more drama son.
-
McGinn great run again. Digne and Buendia now
-
On the few occasions we decide to attack, we look very dangerous.
Problem is we are reluctant to go forward
-
Ollie and Ian off.
-
Bowen has been pants
Shush.
-

Indeed.Got to be tactical
-
Bowen has been pants
Shush.
I know, right?!
-
Austin MacPhee carrying an injury I see
-
Emi the little with a 95th minute winner. You heard it here first.
-
"West Ham have been vulnerable late on in games"....love to hear it
-
perhaps we should protect bizot on corners more. sommerville is roughing him up every time
-
Wilson will come on, and he'll score, so we need two.
-
This is so disappointing because we are SO much better than this.
-
Forest 3 Spudz 0 is excellent
-
Forest 3 Spudz 0 is excellent
They're getting a real roasting. (Apologies)
-
MORGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
YEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH fucking helll
-
Fucking SEX
-
Foot like a traction engine
-
What a goal
-
Get in!!!!!
-
Forest 3 Spudz 0 is excellent
They're getting a real roasting. (Apologies)
Playing as if their first team went down the pub last night and got mashed
-
Oh my fucking god !!!!!!
-
What a player we have in him.
-
OMG!..that is excellent
-
Come on me Villa babbies!!!
-
YOU CAN'T DODGE THE RODGE!
-
We only score goals from outside the box
-
NOT FUCKING SUSTAINABLE
-
MORGANNN!!!!
-
Golaso!
-
what a hit!
-
Rogers is ridiculous. What a player.
-
He's the one. He's the fucking one!
-
GETINNNNN!!!!
-
Goal of the Month again from Rogers...
-
One villa fan cheering in the west ham end.
-
Think I just come
-
That’s a lot like his goal at Spurs. Or that free kick. He’s learned to hit that dipping, swerving shot. It’s brilliant
-
Wow!! Now please hold on!!
-
How did he do that?
-
That knuckleball again
-
Excellent, pity I’m not watching🙁
-
NO MORE GIFTS!
-
under preform and boom ...... this is the Villa .
-
Fair play to Unai when Morgan was getting some criticism at the start often for persevering with him.
-
Now the bloody nerves kick in
-
Rogers will get a hat trick
-
Just like his free kick and the spurs goal, he strikes it brilliantly to get late dip, it's very impressive that he's developed that into his game.
-
Rogers is officially insane wtf.
-
Fuck off commentator. "Second City" my arse.
-
Special, special player. What a hit.
-

-
Wilson. We all know what happens next.
-
I cant believe how poor we have been in parts that we are looking at 3 points here.
The best win ugly
-
Don't get fucking sloppy again Villa.
-
Commentator desperate to jinx us.
-
Good touch Emi
-
Nice assist from Lindelof for Rogers.... ;D
-
Commentator desperate to jinx us.
..Keown level numpty..
-
Commentator desperate to jinx us.
I think he's in a relationship with Nuno from the sound of it.
-
He's the one. He's the fucking one!
Robbie Williams or Saint Etienne ?
-
West Ham chucking everything on
-
Commentator desperate to jinx us.
I think he's in a relationship with Nuno from the sound of it.
He just said he can't keep his eyes off Unai though
-
Commentator desperate to jinx us.
Noooooo……
Isn’t he our ‘fallen giants’ guy ?
-
West Ham chucking everything on
Including the bubble machine?
-
Malen has looked dangerous with a few shots but his close ball control has let him down.
-
Potts did well against our midfield
-

Love cheat.
-
Nice assist from Lindelof for Rogers.... ;D
Yes it looked like we didn't miss Pau
-

If only Bubbles, Michael Jackson's chimp was still around. They’d throw him on too.
-

It would but we're having an off day here.
Sure but it’s teams that also win on an off days that are the most successful. We’ve found all manner of ways to win this season so hopefully we do so again today.
I said it in the two previous league games so every chance I'll be saying it more.
-
5 added mins
-
Buendia has been really sharp
-
Rogers will get a hat trick
He is trying.
-
Nice assist from Lindelof for Rogers.... ;D
Victor von Boom

Nearly Morgs

That was tortured, but it still made me laugh!
-
Stop being jinxy you commentator cock. 😡
-
Nearly Morgs
and nearly effed up
-
Looking a tad sloppy now.

Anyone who says he bummed me is lying.

Haha I thought he’d gone but apparently retired to a sanctuary. I didn’t see checking up on Bubbles on my Sunday bingo card.
-
He was sent there when he got too old for Michael's tastes.
-
Ginny isn’t getting those free kicks like normal
-
That free kick against Malen is the softest one I think I've ever seen. If you give them there's 100+ fouls every game.
-
Cmon PWS
-
relax
-
Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeesssssssss
-
Woooohoooo!!
-
Ace
-
relax
Unfair to start the Post match first.

Expansive Cojones.
