Aston Villa v West Ham United Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Clark and Baker nearly fucked us there.

[eastie]

Another tedious 45 minutes - poor to watch

[DrGonzo]

Some high quality comedy defending there, Bramble would have been proud.

[JUAN PABLO]

this is poor

[ozzjim]

Erm, we look bloody awful at the back!

[Matt Collins]

I don't think the midfield is the problem today (ie I don't think it's Delph or Westwood or bacuna problem.

The problem today, for me, is the narrowness, the lack of quality on the ball in attacking areas (ie in the front three) and our defence. Lowton and baker in particular

[citizenDJ]

We're being out-tacticked by Allardici.

How embarrassing.

[PaulWinch again]

Really poor first half and once again highlighted our negligence in the transfer market. If Vlaar gets injured our defence is complete chaos and also we have zero ability to create anything.

[Jimbo]

We veer from dreary to desperate with alarming authority.

[Dave]

Urgh, how deeply tedious.

The slightly worse of two boring, ugly teams.

[Tuscans]

C'mon lads, that has to be our crap 45 out of the way....better, precise passing guys and we'll knock a couple pass these.

[Goldie.7]

First half = Usual home performance.

I agree with this. It would be Bacuna, if anyone, who's been the weaker link in midfield, but even he's just been a bit slow on the ball rather than terrible. We need more creativity and more width. More fucking width. It's not that hard.

[Deano's Mullet]

We need to win this, lose and we're right back in the shit again. Earn your  money Lambert ffs.

[villa_cads]

Well that wasn't very good was it.
