West Ham vs Aston Villa match thread

Sanchez looking the best of our midfielders.

Plenty of time yet for his regulatory major fuck up . That aside he was the best v spurs too.

I haven't got the game on, but i have some jack Daniels. I'll knock back a shot for every shot we had on target. What's it to be?

For the 2nd half I'll just go with any old shot, just so i can enjoy myself.

[The Laughing Policeman]

We drew the first half, now we go again.

[SamTheMouse]

hes fucking scribbling

I like to think he's working on a collection of haiku.

We will never score.
I get paid for doing this.
Can we go again?

Lowton in full flight.
Flailing feather feet aflame.
God I want to die.

Monumentally depressing.

If it isn't a chance on the counter attack, there is absolutely nothing to us. We spent most of that half just ambling around in our own half, not having any shape or recognisable intent, nothing.

How much more of this manager are we going to have to endure?

As entertaining as George Osborne, when will this duffer fuck off. Nice to see Keane move off his arse at last.

We've made it to half time. Part one of 30% possession, park the bus draw complete.

[mrfuse]

Well some how we've not conceded yet but its only only to worse as the time ticks on.

Yep very very disappointing.

A little better in the last 5-10 minutes but still not good enough. At least West Ham seemed to take their foot off the gas a little.

Sanchez looks a class apart from Westwood and Cleverley. He's settled into the game after struggling in the opening 10 minutes with their high tempo.

Zogbia has shown flashes of good play and moments of fist biting frustration. Gabby's looked interested.

Cissokho has turn into Bambi on ice after the first 4 games.

Up until 30 minutes the game looked a home banker. Now it kind of looks like a 0-0 banker, which I'd take.

Fully expect the half time team talks to play a part and thus be in the favour of West Ham though.

poor for 35 mins

had a bit more play for ten mins

gabby has to be scoring that

dont really look like scoring to be fair

[Karl Bridges]

I thought first half the lads were terrific, I couldnae ask any more of them and with a wee bit of luck we should have been coming in 2-0 up.

[django]

The worst of it is, I'm feeling like the last 5-10 mins is us near our best.

[Marton]

Why is it that whenever we manage to get a string of passes together....the man getting the service looks surprised , afraid or both?

[aj2k77]

Hopefully that was our poor 45 mins, god help us if it wasn't.

[pauliewalnuts]

We are just shocking. No shape or attacking intent, absolutely nothing.

Yet if we manage to keep a clean sheet, or even nick a goal, the manager will no doubt be delighted with it, and the owner - if he's even paying attention to the match - will be similarly elated.
