1-4 Villa

Savo to get 2, Yorke 1 and a stunner from Tommy Johnson.

If only.

Considered a fiorm team and improving from last season obviously the hope was and still is that its Villa but credit West Ham as they are currently playing well.

Adrian GK  somewhat temperamental, good shot stopper less so on deep crosses and being challenge on corners.
Cresswell. LB attacking strength moves forward quickly,  good left foot and can deliver. Chances are often given to opposing players through naive positioning and advancing forward. Can be exploited.Question mark on level not experience .
Jenkins on RB promising full back , is on loan to prove to Arsenal he's top level. however injury prone, suspect in balance but good athlete. Fits into current west ham philosophy of attacking play. A player who is still working on making the right  defensive decisions.
Collins CB rugged defender brought in to play against stoke . Great blocking and tackling , experience vs lack of pace leads to inconsistent performance. also struggles on a 90 minutes level due to injuries . May be retaining place but could sit out depdning injury situations.The choice is between him or Tomkins .
Reid CB Solid dependable centre back likely to play shaking off injury
Midfield
Kouyate has adapted well in the fitness and the physcial presence and attribute to hold and play in midfield. Weakness in passing , decision making but can move with ball . Is adapting to the tactics .
Noble a seemingly fans favourite local boy. Passionate and the one taker. box to box and energetic plays well when crowd get behind him.
DM Song . deployed to take the ball and add the steel in the middle. quality performer though can be both rash and I'll disclpined when things aren't occurring. Can also be a catalyst and major contributor to holding the midfield.
Downing AM Playing in the hole and given opportunity to be a creator. provides a threat on set pieces and crossing. fitness level currently very good and this has produced inspired play and form. Goal threat as well as assist. Danger man.
striker
Valenica technical lly very impressive both from dead ball and in to feet and back to goal. Very Lacey and a real danger. Has a real eye for goal.
Sakho expected to shake off injury to start in attack. Attacking player who is both good in air and shooting. Has adapted well and is a danger in the box. find space well.

Senderos may be back which would be a bonus.

Oh boy, doesn't this just sum up where Villa are as a club? We are actually celebrating the return of Philippe Senderos. Equally, we are so shit, he actually stands out as one of our better players!

How about looking at having a player back from injury as a positive instead of having another whinge?

Hmm.

An in form West Ham at home against a side who has lost 6 on the trot and is missing their two best players. I would have thought an odds on home win.

But who knows, you might be right.

It is an odds on home win, but as we all know football isn't an exact science
