West Ham v Aston Villa Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell. How have we been playing?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bollox!

[Rigadon]

Looked good for 10 minutes but have been long balled to death. 

[PeterWithesShin]

We've lost it the last 10-15 mins. Pretty much all West Ham. Come on Villa!

[Mortimer's Bear]

We need to stop conceding free kicks in and around our penalty area.

[bertlambshank]

Clarke has had a shit 10 minutes.

[Monty]

Just totally lost our heads here, need to get calm again.

[ozzjim]

The long balls basically have mounted up and killed us eventually.

[pauliewalnuts]

25-30 minutes of us passing the ball really well, but with no real penetration.

Then 15 mins of West Ham lumping it at us, and us losing our concentration.

[Mister E]

We certainly can not affford to gi ve away all these free kicks around our box against the crude tactics employed by an Alladyce side.

[citizenDJ]

Need a good bollocking from Lambert at half-time. We're being thoroughly Allardyced.

[ozzjim]

I do think Holman looks the weak link going forward at the moment, and we need to work on penetration.

[The Situation]

we've played into their hands and big sam's tactics.

we've done nothing noticeable in their final third. no chances. nothing. need to re-structer for second half.

[Risso]

I think this should dispel any false notions that we don't need to strengthen the team further.

[Rigadon]

Depressing to see that lump 'big sam' on a premier league bench again.  Fat, wet lipped purveyor of shit football that he is.
