Aston Villa vs West Ham match thread

Christ alfucking mighty. We need to win this game. Need a big second half now.

We are down Paul, relax and do something else!

[beness]

It was threatening. right side again.

[David_Nab]

Hopeless defending again .was obvious that side was an issue Gil coming on left us brutally exposed there whilst Hutton is constantly out of position

[LTA]

Giving yet another team on a bad run a boost.  Shambles

[berneboy]

I feel physically sick. Bring on next August please.

[N'Zimidy]

Hutton has no fucking idea where to stand on the pitch.

Disgraceful that Grealish and Traore have been dropped for the season. Garde can not be allowed to sleepwalk us to certain relegation. 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Sake. 

I think I'll need something stronger.

[Toronto Villa]

Not addressing the right side being exposed as much as we have is tactical naive on the part of Garde. If it was Sherwood in charge he'd be rightly getting smashed for it. West Ham know they can attack down that side all afternoon and eventually it got them what they wanted.

[brontebilly]

substitution has further weakened the right flank, should have left Westwood where he was.

At least he was offering some protection to Hutton.

Need to drop Veretout deeper next to Gueye and Westwood back on right.

Ayew will get us a goal

Not Huttons Job to go and stand on the half way line to mark thier right back.

[Archie]

What a loss not having Amavi is.

It has nothing to do with Hutton being caught way out of position again. That's probably the third or fourth game Hutton has been responsible for conceding a goal. He works damn hard every game but some of his positioning is shocking.

Exactly, it is unconceivable that he plays in the PL....

[Villa in Denmark]

I am fucking sick to death of this. Sick to death.

Yep, me too.

Balls out second half. Get Traore and Grealish on, what the fuck have we got to lose?

Not a lot. To be honest this has always been the start of "our run" for me, I always thought we could start something today with the next few fixtures coming up, if we lose this or even draw it's surely all over.

That has been the last shred of hope I've been clinging to. 45 minutes to stop that last flicker of light at the end of a f##king long tunnel getting blown out.

[Bad English]

Sucker punch goal. We were OK. Boo!

[Risso]

I've still yet to be remotely impressed with Garde.  I wasn't expecting a six game winning run, but if anything we're playing more badly than under Sherwood.

Im sat up reading this game when I'm in Oz.FFS I wouldnt be surprised if we didn't win again this season at all. Again another game where a draw at best.........
