Bournemouth 1-0 West Ham

Sterling work from Leandro 'end of move' Bacuna, there.

He's fucking useless.

Can't pass for shit.

[Nii Lamptey]

Much better showing tonight. Everyone fighting the cause as a team. Let's just hope they can keep it going for the full 90.

Quite surprised to see that Cissokho has a fair bit of pace.... expected him to get done a couple of times in last few mins, but tracked back and won the ball.

[Risso]

What's all this passing and moving then.  I need a lie down.

[mrfuse]

I know its not saying much but Kozak has shown far more movement than Gestede.

Has he even touched the ball yet

Well thats the other issue but at least he is moving the defence about a bit.

[QuintonVilla]

We couldn't pass wind in the final third.

[LukeJames]

Decent build up play but we lack the killer ball.....

He's letting the ball do the work. 😉

"Lescott trying to hold a defensive line but he's on his own" says the commentator. Can't help but feel that if he's on his own it's he who may be not holding the line!

Anyway, COME ON VILLA!!

Lescott played them onside twice in the one play there, dreadful defending

We have been tidy in possession so far without being threatening

[SamTheMouse]

The final third is where effort takes a back seat and talent comes to the fore.

We really need more quality.

[JUAN PABLO]

good move

[LukeJames]

fuck, thought that was in

[citizenDJ]

Oooooh! Good effort from Ayew!

[Jimbo]

I like Ayew. It's rare to be able to say that about a Villa player these days.

[charleeco7]

Ayew and kozak need to play closer together but an encouraging start
