Aston Villa v West Ham United Match Thread

[ez]

We better attack these otherwise i'll be annoyed.

[Jimbo]

Has the ball touched the ground yet?

oh joy! Trevor Francis on commentary..

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell Bacuna get your head up.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

Both corners from Westwood haven't been the usual floaters to the back corner of the box. He's whipping them in. Good sign.

West Ham sitting deep too.

[Monty]

Good start. No boofing, keeping the ball, moving off it and looking for the options. Also the full backs are getting forwards, giving us width.

[PaulWinch again]

We're trying to pass it around which is encouraging.

Anyone spotted Lerner incognito in the crowd yet. Wearing a red and white stripey T-shirt maybe.

[Somniloquism]

Southampton beating Stoke. Sunderland down to 10 men.

[DrGonzo]

Bejesus but the Wet Spam are boring...

I spotted him. Holte End L block, sat right by the exit, wearing claret and blue balaclava, holding up a big 'For Sale' sign.

[Matt Collins]

We're trying to pass it. But we do look very narrow. West ham are just going to sit in there. It's not working when we try to force balls in behind given their defence and the conditions

I think bacuna is going to need to help provide some width on the right. The forwards need to pull wide too. Could be a frustrating game

[Somniloquism]

Palace beating the bitters. Ince for them.

Hull 1-0 against Sunderland.

[JUAN PABLO]

when you play these sort of teams you need that No 10 / playmaker

but we know that

still should win 3-0

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking Baker, why do we give away stupid free-kicks all the time.
