Just win
Vic not even on bench....
-
Like it
-
Win please Villa - amazing to see Youri back involved.
-
Villa Park return for Disasi for them, with Adama Traore on the bench.

Like that side and it's awesome to see Youri on the bench.

Strongest bench for a while.
-
Just win
Vic not even on bench....
I think a lot of our lot cant make 2 games a week, probably why Dougy is not starting today. More the reason to lower the age of the squad in the summer.
-
Great selection, good impact players from the bench.
-
Ollie starting again. Hmm.
Tammy didn't exactly smash it midweek. But we were better with Ollie coming off the bench against tiring defenders.
As we were in another one of his better games away to Chelsea, just after Christmas.
-
Can only see a 1-1, come on Villa, do the right thing.
-
Cash and McGinn (assuming it's him on the right and Sancho on the left) makes that flank feel a lot more solid.
-
After results going in our favour yesterday this is a must win.
Please win Villa.

This!

McGinn was on the left on Thursday night, so imagine ot might be the same. Would prefer to see Rogers on the left tbh as I think he's more effective out there.
-
Awful line-up.

It could be McGinn and Onana at the back with Barkley 10 and Rogers left as well. A few options there.
-
Not convinced with Ross in there, but needs must I guess.
A win would be humongous
-
I have not fancied us to win a league game since before the Brentford game
However, I fancy us strongly today. It is all set up for us to regnite our season after yesterdays results.
Tielemans being back on the bench is a massive boost. Hopefully we can we win without him and give hin another couple of weeks rest but it is great to have him back.
Come on you Lions.
-
My bi annual visit to the hallowed turf. Hoping for greatness, will settle for a sneaky win. UTV
-
Results gone our way this weekend. Big European win in the week. Tielemans back on the bench. Our captain match fit and playing well. 0-1 it is.
-
Awful line-up.
Oh, any particular reason?
-
Interesting line up, I’m very pleased Torres and Ollie playing. What a sight to see Tielemans on the bench.
-
Come on Villa, would have liked to see Allyson on the bench, brilliant to see Tielemans back, no Elliot, still think he as a game or two we can play him in.
Anyway here we go, with all the results falling nicely into place we need this win.
-
I do not think it’s awful but not convinced with Barkley and Watkins starting.
-
If anyone is aware of a good clean source of running water I'd be much obliged
-
West Ham going back to a back 4 with Tobido injured during the warm up.
-
Awful line-up.
That’s a pretty pathetic position to take by you before kick off. And we all know why. Sad really.

He's just toiling thanklessly deep in the mines of the attention economy. If you're annoyed, then he's dug up a jewel, a coin of your attention. You can't fight this thing by engaging with it.
-
West Ham going back to a back 4 with Tobido injured during the warm up.
Given how we often struggle against teams that go three at the back, this is probably good news.
-
Just win
Vic not even on bench....
Is Vic not there?...
-
Awful line-up.
That’s a pretty pathetic position to take by you before kick off. And we all know why. Sad really.
Not my fault its a poor line-up.
Plenty of others have said the same when they've not liked the team.
Only an issue when I do it I see.
-

Yeh you’re right. It’s still pathetic though that’s where his mind is instead what would be the natural thing you’d think to focus all energy on positive thoughts.
-
I'm strangely, unusually, fatally optimistic.
-
Oh Disaster's playing for them now, is he? Wasn't aware...
-
I do fancy us today for some reason. Be a massive win If we do. COYL
-
5 at the back for West Ham, we struggle against this kind of line up
-
should have been a forward ball from pau then
-
Today is the day we get our first penalty of the season you heard it here first.
-
Bit ropey from Cash
-
In a hotel in Leipzig, all streaming sites are blocked on the hotel Internet… so I’m following on here today
-
Ooh, lovely build up there...
-
Great bit of defending from them to stop Watkins scoring
-
Good stuff Sancho.
-
I'm strangely, unusually, fatally optimistic.
Enough of this. All the results yesterday went in our favour, we're playing against a back 3, and against a team managed by Nuno. We'll get a pasting.
-
Pity Lindelof is out.
-
Brilliant football, keep that up!

You'd never criticise a line-up before kick off, would you? Let's see what you said before the MU game.
That’s a defensive, negative line up. Our possession might be 25% in the first half.
https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?action=post;quote=5003903;topic=66627.0;last_msg=5004515
Oh.
-
Great effort Digne
-
Bit ropey from Cash
Atoned for it very quickly though...other full back doing pretty well too. We are bombarding them right now
-

You're quite right. My apologies to the gods.

Good tempo from us so far

Oh.
What was I saying, TV? You can't win with engagement.
Good positive start from us here.
-
Mavropanos looks decent.

I know mate. I took your advice. I can’t be arsed. He doesn’t see the difference between my comment, which incredibly he took time to dig up, and the very, very obvious observation he is making. Had Tammy started he wouldn’t have made the comment at all. We all see you Smirker.
-
SJMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
-
Get in
-
Soooooopaaaaah Jooooohhhhhhnnnnn!
-
Get in!!
-
what ahit
-
Nice
-
Get in!!!
-
FUCKING LOVELY.
-
Foot like a wand
-
That is a lovely goal.
-
Too easy! What a great set piece.
-
SJMMMMMM!!!!!!
Lovely free kick routine.
-
Oh let's focus, nearly let them straight back in there...
-

There's no difference. You didn't like the line-up the other week and you said so. I didn't like it today and I said so.
No difference.
And it took 30 seconds to find it.
Golgolgol.
-
Mojo. Back.
-
We are a different team with Torres playing well and especially with McGinn back. The whole shape and character of the team changes.
-
Really good goal that, clearly off the training ground.
-
McGinn might be the spark that we really need!
-
Astonishing Villa
-
Class goal.
-
Eat my goal
-
Yessssss, SJM makes such a difference.
-
Deserved opener after a fine start. Switch off a minute later and nearly 1-1.
-
Really good free kick but I do want Onana to be more aware of his position for potential offsides interference/rebound opportunities.
-
We are a different team with Torres playing well and especially with McGinn back. The whole shape and character of the team changes.
Yep, a fit Torres is so important to us, it's weird that so many fans can't seem to see that.
-
Spanish commentator saying Macphee looks like Rick Wakeman, and I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before but god damn it that's completely true.
-
We’re looking a much lively outfit with SJM back in the team.
We bloody missed Meatball!
-
Rogers keeps getting held when making runs off the ball. They're frightened of him.
-
McPhee earning his money there
-

I think alot more are "seeing" it this season. Very rare is there calls for Mings to start this season compared to last.
-
Nice to be playing well again.
-
Spanish commentator saying Macphee looks like Rick Wakeman, and I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before but god damn it that's completely true.
Yes.
-
sancho been excellent
-
Not a single mention about the weight of the pass making that finish a lot easier than it needed to be...Sancho again 👀
Edit: FFS JP
-

Yes.
I'm so burned by Cystgate.
-
SJM's goal. https://x.com/FP_Scotland/status/2035727361451122950
-
Nice from Ollie.
-
Onana should do better there
-
Almost a lovely move. Pass overhit though.
-
Watkins first touch much better today
-

Yes.
-

Yes.
I enjoyed this, which is more than I can say for the oeuvre of Rick Wakeman.
-
Playing some very good stuff here.
-
Onana should do better there
With the header? Not for me, it was a real stretch to even make contact.

This is what I get for having no interest in the set piece coach thread :(
(The whole Yes 'oeuvre' is people waving their fingers very fast near some instruments and calling it ambitious.)

Yes.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
-
All over them. What is this witchcraft.
-
Just hope we go into half time with more then 1 goal at the moment. Would be nice to get closer to Plops GD here.
-
Best I've seen us for a few months.
Need the second whilst we're this dominant.
-
sancho been excellent
Very bright, Onana too! West Ham here for the taking in a big way today. The positioning of McGinn, Rogers and Sancho is a lot more fluid today and we look far more dangerous as a result.
Great save there
-
Onana should do better there
With the header? Not for me, it was a real stretch to even make contact.
He's been massive this game so far. In everything
-
Final third is much better today.
-
PENALTY!!!!! Played Ollie.
-
That would've been a wonder goal there, the play between Rogers and Watkins was superb.
-
Rogers butchered that
-
What is one of those?
-
I repeat, we have a penalty!!
-
Penalty
-
Or do we, VAR
-
We have a penalty? Doubt it.
-
Sky seem to think the guy got the ball.
-
I'd feel very hard done by if this were given against us...
-
Never a pen.
-
I'd feel very hard done by if this were given against us...
Same
-
He got the ball I think
-
No pen.
-
Very weird decision! There are like six reasons not to give a penalty.
But arguably a red? I don't know, probably a stretch.
-
Penalty?!
Don't think so although ref looking at monitor...
-
rogers should have scored then , good pass from sancho but he coud have hit it too but rogers was in a great position
-
Should have done better with that opportunity. Need to make them pay.
-
Good challenge from Mavropanos, I thought.
-
Fair. Keep dominating.
-
We're never missing a penalty again.
-
Should have been a free kick though
-
Rogers should have scored anyway
-
Only concern here is we haven’t scored more.
-
Should've given us the free kick outside the box instead, which was a clear foul.
-
Weird that the one we finally get is the one we shouldn't have. Normal service of Villa not having a league penalty is resumed.
-
Sancho should have shot.
Rogers should have buried it.
Playing well though
-
How the fuck is it only 1-0.
-
Fcuk me should’ve been 2
-
Ollie's in the mood again.
-
hows that not gone in
-
Mavropanis is keeping them in this!
-
Good challenge from Mavropanos, I thought.
His second excellent last ditch one and just cleared that one off line. Great forward play by Watkins again. Sancho can't be passing from there and Rogers made a mess of it.
-
How have we not scored a second?
-
Why couldn't it have been Mavraponos injured in the warmup...
-
Mavropanos is killing us.
-
Aston fire engines have arrived at the ground as Ollie is on fire.
-
Mavropanis is keeping them in this!
never rated him but hes turned into McGrath so far
-
Never a pen tbf, that blokes having a blinder of a game.
-
Mavropanis is keeping them in this!
Buy him. [/Doug]
-
Mavropanos keeping them in it right now
If West Ham were to go down, have a fire sale, and if we were to continue our great tradition of buying players who have played well against us...
-
Ref has got to be thinking about a booking for Potts, he's been a dirty twat all game.
-
Spam won't be this shit after half time. We could take do with a second here.
-
Ollie “Ollie Ollie
-
West Ham aren't playing shit, we're playing very well.
-
best 30 mins of footy in 2026
-
And again...
-
Mavropanos is killing us.
Again...4 possible goals stopped
-
West Ham aren't playing shit, we're playing very well.
I think it's a combination of both. They're giving us acres of space.
-
Completely dominating, we just need to be more ruthless. We should be out of sight already.
-
How is that not a yellow card for one, if not both of those dick-bags?
-
Nailed on yellow for either of them, what's the ref doing? Books Nanny instead.
-
Gotta get another goal before these refs gift one.
-
A goal right on half time would be grand.
-
Rogers booked for dissent.
-
Barkley has low-key done really well this half
-
hold him for 3 minutes there wheres the yellow
-
Rogers booked for dissent.
Commentary said it was for Wan-Bissaka for the holding.
-
Barkley has low-key done really well this half
Really solid, keeping things ticking over nicely in midfield. Rogers guilty of overplaying there again.
We have been three goals better so far. West Ham have to change things tactically
-
I have to say that I think we’re starting get a really good player in Sancho. He’s impressing me a lot at the moment.
-
Rogers booked for dissent.
Commentary said it was for Wan-Bissaka for the holding.
Had to be, you can't let a player get away with that, there were 3 or4 possible fouls in the space of a few seconds.
-
forst goal
-
How are we only one up? Can't remember the last time we created so many clear chances.
-
Konsa has to do better with that header
-
Cracking half, only disappointment is that West Ham have somehow kept it to one.
-
Mavropanos MotM so far
-
Well, that was an absolutely sensational half of football. Do that for the rest of the season, including the second half, and we have no worries whatsoever.
-
What’s the consensus on the penalty? In the ground looked like Watkins was fouled outside the box and then ran inside
-
That's our best half this year, they could have no complaints if we were going in 3 or 4 up.
-
Best half in I don't even know how long. Just hope we don't regret spurning so many chances, because Christ alive this one should be over.
-
We created more chances this half than in the rest of this calendar year combined so far. Can just see them getting a couple of agricultural goals second half and making us pay. Nuno will ditch the back 3 at HT for sure, we're cutting through them at will.
-
Cutting through these with ease at the moment. Ollie has been much better.
None too thrilled with this bunch of referees.. need better.
-
Not a pen, but a foul a few yards before.
-
Much, much better but should be at least 4-0 up.
I just hope West Ham are as shit in the second half.
-
What’s the consensus on the penalty? In the ground looked like Watkins was fouled outside the box and then ran inside
Exactly, a kind of bizarrely terrible decision to award it in the first place.
-
Only just got in. I thought it was on Sky but the app saying game unavailable. Anyone got a decent stream?
-
What’s the consensus on the penalty? In the ground looked like Watkins was fouled outside the box and then ran inside
Was no foul, defender cleared the ball
-
Good first half performance and have had enough chances to have put the game to.bed really.
-
I have to say that I think we’re starting get a really good player in Sancho. He’s impressing me a lot at the moment.
An improvement from a very low base but he needs to be braver. Take people on, drive at the opposition etc
-
Only just got in. I thought it was on Sky but the app saying game unavailable. Anyone got a decent stream?
Sky PL it's on
-
Night and Day. The best we have played in weeks. Our temp was good from the off. We moved the ball quickly with a plaenty of intent.
The only disappointment is that we are not 3 up and out of sight.
Rogers should have scored 2.
The midfield has way more balance without Luiz.
Players who have been heavily criticised on here in recent weeks have been excellent: Sancho, Onana, Digne and Watkins.
We have to make sure we keep it going second half and put this to bed. If we don't they will have a spell and it will get nervy.
-
Should be 2 or 3 really. Can see it getting a bit nervy later.
-
What’s the consensus on the penalty? In the ground looked like Watkins was fouled outside the box and then ran inside
Not a pen but should have had a free kick.
-
Never a pen. We would have been livid if that was given against us. However if Ollie had been a Man U player it would have been a nailed on penalty
-
Only just got in. I thought it was on Sky but the app saying game unavailable. Anyone got a decent stream?
Sky PL it's on
Ah brilliant, thank you.
-
Good performance. Goal reminded me of SJM vs.... i wanna say Luton? Beautifully worked. Watkins playing well.
-
Need to put away another or it could be nervy
They can not be that crap in the second half
-
Mavropanos has kept them in the game.
-
Best display in ages. They’re lucky to not be 4 down. I hope we don’t regret missing some of these chances.
-
What’s the consensus on the penalty? In the ground looked like Watkins was fouled outside the box and then ran inside
He should have went down like a sack of spuds and their best defender gets a red. Playing on was brainless activity.
Similar to Wan-Bissaka on Rogers.
-
Aston Villa had 14 shots in the first half, their most in the opening 45 minutes of any Premier League game since October 2023 vs Luton (also 14).
-
No argument that it wasn't a penalty but surely the ref could take it back and award Villa a free kick outside their area. The decision to just give them a drop ball ignores that he was only able to make the fair tackle because he had been allowed to twice pull Watkins back.
-

Not a pen but should have had a free kick.
We should be scoring from the break anyway. That ball breaks near the penalty shot. Sancho bottles taking the shot and Rogers can't get the ball out of his feet at the moment. Great play from Ollie to roll the defender like that. Ollie has done everything but score so far.

We did however go on to have a chance where we should score, so I don't really have an issue with not having the free kick, we had a better opportunity than the free kick would have given.

Ollie was great. Looking much more like his old self, especially physically.
-
Ollie's in the mood again.
Tactics are perfectly set up for him plus West Ham's three at the back just gives us acres of space. Watkins, Rogers and Sancho need to start being clinical as the clear cut chances are being wasted time and time again.
-
I hope we don't fuck it up.

But then I'm glad we don't, habitually, play like that. We don't go looking for free kicks and penalties. If we go down it's because we're forced down. And that's the right way to play the game
-
Did Igor Jesus do the Street Fighter Hadoken as his celebration? That is gets 10/10 if it is. Pure nostalgia.
-
Awww, class of '96 all in today. Brian a resplendent white these days. Love those guys...
-
whys he delay the shot then
-
whys he delay the shot then
Right foot only for standing on! Good tempo from us again
-
What6a joke stopping play there. Not even a head injury.
-

It could be a Kamehameha by Goku from Dragonball as they look similar. I've not seen him do the celebration, though. I wasn't bullied.
-
It's not a head injury though is it...unless his brains are in his bollocks!
-
What6 a joke stopping play thgere.Not even a head injury.
In a manner of speaking.
-
The only one who doesn't seem 100% at it right now is Rogers
I'm saying that because he'll score a screamer from 30 yards now...
-
Why stop the game for someone getting hit in the nuts?

Yeah, load of bollocks.

Nuts isn’t it?
-
Ooooooh!
Ross loses possession cheaply, but atones instantly and forces their keeper into a great save. And that's a microcosm of this game so far
-
Great strike Ross.
-
Ooh that was close.
-
Unlucky Barkley, decent effort that.
-
We’re going to regret these missed chances.
-
Want to keep The Sanch.
-

I assumed the joke was it depends on where it hit the penis on whether it was a "head" injury or not.

A gland-sing blow
-
Want to keep The Sanch.
Same. Too much quality. Free. Get the wages down. Keep working on him. More to come.
-
We really need waspish Warren Aspinall on to put away some of these chances like he did in 1987.
-
Played Digne.
-
Another super flowing move there.
Every one of these we don't score from merely renders our late capitulation more certain.
-
West ham have come out to play.
-
West Ham in this more
-
Our subs should make things interesting when they come on.
-
Both CMs caught ahead of the ball there. Need to keep our shape better.
-
Why was Konsa running away from them as they were breaking through? Needs to get a challenge in.
-
Ironically if we do lose and spuds lose they are in the relegation zone
-
Well done Ross
-
Honestly think Barkley has been our best player today.
-
Well played Barkley.
-
Ironically if we do lose and spuds lose they are in the relegation zone
Yep, that would be the sliver of silver lining but I really want the Villa win.

We all know how this ends.

Our subs should make things interesting when they come on.
Gone sloppy at the top end of the pitch and that's helping West Ham get into it.
Rogers the one for me to go first, might bang in one now
-
Haha Forest 2-0
-
Spurs now 2-0 down
-
Haha 2-0 to Forest
-
Come on Villa. Get a second
-
We all know how this ends.
3 poonts to Villa
-
We all know how this ends.
A win to Villa.
-
Here comes Youri!!
-
Youri. Strap it to my veins.
-
Come on Villa, put this to bed!
-
Felt comfortable in the first half, but becoming increasingly edgy as this goes on..
-
Youri, Doug and Bailey on
Sancho, Ross, SJM off
-
Honestly think Barkley has been our best player today.
Very good performance, probably best in a Villa shirt
-
OLLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
Yeahhhhhhh, he scored!!!
-
Fucking yes.
-
GET INNNN!
-
Get in!
-
Fucking yes!!!!
-
Get in!
-
thats the one we needed
-
Imahine if we'd picked a decent starting 11
-
Ollie
-
started by onana
-
DOO DOO DO DOOOO
-
That's why Rogers stays on
-
Just brilliant from Onana winning that back there
-
Yes Ollie, keeper shit but we needed it. Great tackle by Onana in build up
-
I am currently not watching, but every time I see Ollllliiiiieee my first instinct is: now wait for VAR.
-
YESSSS!!!!!!!!
-
Shocking from their keeper
-
Astonishing Villa
-
Onana did great to win the ball back, must be said.
-
Awful line-up.
;)
-
Onana stole the ball so easily.
-
Nice one Watkins, love your reaction after the goal
-
Again, another instinctive finish by Ollie. Great stuff.
-

Chortle

Richly deserved.

Hopefully the rot has stopped now.
-
As a few others have said, that's brilliant from Onana and exactly what he's there to do.
2 in 2 for Ollie now, fingers crossed he goes on a bit of a run for the rest of the season.
-

No doubt about this one at all. Nothing ever going to rule it out
It's almost like not being included in Tuchel's squad has bucked him up
-
West ham look doomed

His body language has changed in the last couple of games.
-

I'd like to think Spurs can beat them to the drop
-
This is shaping up to be, one draw aside (which was okay), the actual perfect weekend. Just in the nick of time.

They need Summerville back quickly. Completely different side with him.

Don't we all.
-
Imahine if we'd picked a decent starting 11
He's got 10 in 43 apps pal.
Broken clock etc.
-
Spurs v Lincoln would be the funniest fixture ever.
-
Thoughts and prayers to Smirker at this difficult time.

Damn we are winning and Ollie has scored. Worst. Day. Evahhh.

Buendia on for Rogers.

Nope, I meant to say 2 in 4 and then got distracted.

His injury disappeared then?
-
Shame, Rogers was really coming into it.

He limped a bit going off at HT so probably good to take him off.

Why do so many of our players have bandages on their hand/wrist?

New fad. It's 'in' this season along with mullets, cutting holes in the socks and pointing at the sky.

Coming from the broken record.

Sooo tedious. And I dont mean you TV
-
You can just see the confidence returning. What a difference SJM has made, and now Youri is such a massive boost to have back.

Aye mate. No worries
-
Honestly, I know our blip was horrible - but having our midfield back (minus Kamara sadly!) for this run in is exactly the lift we needed.

Yep, my spirits have really lifted.
So have the players' by the looks of it.

Tammy on for Ollie.

I was hoping the blip wasn't going to be as bad, but I did think the same for when they came back.

A Tammi-goal would be the perfect ending to today now

No club survives what we did losing all three starting midfield players within a couple of weeks. My only disappointment was that we still should have been better. Unai is so stuck to his structure that when such a rare thing happens he doesn’t show enough flexibility with what he has left to work with. Anyway a conversation for another time.
-
Tammy on for Ollie.
Well done Ollie.
-
Any goal would be. Gets us closer to Liverpool's GD. The other two are out of sight.
