West Ham v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Available Saturday evening.

[PeterWithesShin]

Well, that was shit. Very disappointing.

[Rigadon]

Poor. 

New forward options required ASAP.

[ozzjim]

I reckon that will be the worst we play all season.

[Apyadg]

I'm not sure what I expected today, but it wasn't this.

In 90 minutes, all of my optimism for the new season has faded. What a load of shit. It's like nothing has changed.

[wolfman999]

same old, same old...

[Bad English]

Bollocks.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh well serious work to be done in terms of transfers and tactics. However it's the first day and I shalln't despair quite yet.

[pauliewalnuts]

Dreadful.

Passed it efficiently for 30 minutes, spent the next 15 under the cosh. Conceded. Second half, stopped passing it totally.

No attacking threat, no urgency whatsoever, and no idea of what to do to get the ball to Darren Bent.

It is only our first game of the season, but really, the squad is nothing like strong enough. Lerner is going to have to put his hand in his pocket, because we saw our weaknesses made very plain today, against a shit promoted side.

[Karlos96]

Same shit different season. 

[CJ]

That was completely pants. No penetration or threat at all - against West Ham ffs. Didn't seem any sense of urgency - even at the end passing back instead of pressing forward.  Truth is we could have lost by more.  Worrying

[Olneythelonely]

Woeful and very worrying.

[Jimbo]

Crap. I'm hoping it can only get better, but Randy has to get serious about investing in us - he's had his wake-up call but he's pressed the snooze button.

[olaftab]

Well no pressure of protecting our unbeaten record going in to xmas!
Anyway still lot of work to do and part of the learning process about the team for Paul Lambert.

This.

Utter gash.
