Aston Villa v West Ham United Post-Match Thread

[richard moore]

We only lost 1 point off Southampton in race for 9th. Newcastle lost as well. I'm not even looking down. We'll win on Tuesday and everything's fine again.

We're shit, just how much convincing do you need? Whoopee do, we might get relegated, we might get 10th. How successfully Mr absent altogether and Mr absent minded have dumbed down expectations.

We had enough chances to win this game today but didn't get the breaks you need. It's a shame that Delph our best player  made the dreadful mistake for their second but this was their day today after the Carroll kerfuffle tat went on all week.

We were dreadful and got what we deserved- take off your blinkers!

No we were not and I was at Villa Park and not wearing blinkers. I am sorry it's my fault as   I could have been watching a poor stream and joined the armchair brigade in  condemnation.

I've just viagogo'd my Norwich tickets. Be very lucky to get £10 for the pair

I hope so.  I need a pick-me-up.

YouTube have blocked my video, unfortunately.

Oh well, I'll have to resort to Plan B - hard liquor.

Has our fearless leader made an appearance yet?

Hoping he appears on Benefit St next week

[timeoutbigbar]

I'm sorry, did he actually say "The thing for me was that we were in a bit of form, even though we lost to Everton".  8 defeats in our last 11?

If you feel we were unlucky not to win then I suggest you join mr lambert for a pint to compare notes- the home form is unacceptable and today's performance  was very poor.

he did actually say it wasn't good enough today

Master of the understatement !

[phantom limb]

Well that wasn't very good, albeit a small crumb of comfort is that the Baggies are now right in the shit. Let's give Cardiff a good seeing to on Tuesday and today's debacle will be a distant memory.

Just home. That was dire. As others have commented, how often does Lambert have to see our weaknesses to get to grips with them? Inept centre backs and no ability to break down teams at home. 8 home defeats this season already. Any other manager would be sacked, without doubt. Never mind all the visionary crap he spouts, he cannot coach the players that he already has. And god bless Marc Albrighton, who was very unlucky not to get us some points with that cross Benteke couldn't be arsed to tap in and his shot off the post.

View from our manager

[David_Nab]

13 home Games
12 goals 7 of them in 2 matches

Crying out for creativity and we sign Grant Holt..

Helanius why is he even on the bench if we were allowed 7 subs he still not get on pitch.Short of cash where were Tonev and Luna today ,pair of them look an utter waste of cash.

Benteke when was the last time we created a chance from him that wasn't a cross ?

Cardiff now is huge ,win and we give ourselves some breathing space lose and we are fully dragged into it with Fulham and Norwich still to play at home.

[SoccerHQ]

Why are some folks giving Baker and Clark stick? Did I miss something and they were to blame for the goals?

They got away with it first half. West Ham were equally as bad yet should've been 2 up when you think Jarvis was through on goal twice, our playing of the offside trap in the first half was schoolboy standard.

I'm not sure your original post was anything too happy-clappy, but what has you going to Villa park to watch the game got to do with anything?  'The armchair brigade'.  Good grief.
