West Ham vs Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[aj2k77]

Rubbish, standard defeat and hard luck stories. I could bemoan the lack of attacking threat but we already know that. Ayew, idiot, lost his temper tonight, we were warned before hand of it. He still has a way to go before paying back his transfer fee, no one will be coming in the summer with offers for him that would make a profit I'm afraid. The bench was very poor, so there wasn't really much Garde could do once we went the inevitable goal down. The seasons over anyway, we gave up the end of December.

Thing is, judging Remi is a bit like judging Steven Avery - he just hasn't has a fair hearing yet.

Or perhaps it's more like Brendan Dassey, given that the people who are meant to be on his side have fucking stitched him right up.

I swear I didn't see this before I added to the photo thread.

Home about an hour ago and just finished reading the thread...
Live, I thought it was a penalty...a few around me with wizzy phones said it was nailed on.
Thought we were well in control of the game at this point and only one team likely to score.
Didn't see the Ayew thing clearly but phone people said it was a clear sending off. (But Cresswell pinched his neck? Will retrospective action be taken?)
We were then struggling!
Pointed out to all those around me that WHam employed cynical tactics, cutting down our players at the first hint of us breaking away. At the SEVENTH cynical foul, a WHam player was booked. Shit reffing, sorry, it just is!
Mate watching at home thought taking Gil off was a mistake and agreed with my assessment of Richardson: shite!
I hate the Lerner/die chants: we're better than that.
Haven't seen any of the Remi interview stuff but can't see him having a better night's sleep than most of us tonight.
I hope he stays.

UTV!

Thought we played with nine men tonight and the worrying thought is Bacuna will be still here next season playing every game.

[pbavfckuwait]

Did not stop up for the game out here but it seems a similar story. The only luck we have is bad luck and some of that we bring on ourselves.

Randy just may have really been more stupid this season than what we thought he could be, if that's possible by not taking a gamble on stopping up.

Watching CNN World sport tonight and a guy on there was a correspondent for some paper on all things Chinese football, mentioning their investment in Man City, Espanol and some others, but went onto state that their are four seriously rich investors looking to buy a Premier league team for next season and he stated they will be serious players who ever they buy, the instruction to purchase a club has come down from the top of the party as they see this as the next step in their own country's football development.Shame we wont be in with a chance as we wont be a Premier league team next year, thanks Randy thanks alot.

If Garde walked, would you:

A) Blame him?
B) Blame the 'board' for accepting?
C) Care?

No for all three for me.

I'd care a lot.

Really? I'm past caring. I feel nothing about tonight. If he went he went. If he didn't he didn't.I'm just past caring now.

this

whilst i have sympathy for garde what is it now 1 win in 13 league games? hardly making an impact is he

[brian green]

The impact Remi Garde has had and which will evaporate if this insane board allow him to leave is that we are now playing as well as any of the teams at the lower end of the table.  Under Lambert and Sherwood we were the worst team in the Premiership by a mile.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

i may be being really thick but was is this impact that garde is having?

its not winning games is it

[frank black]

We are playing possession football, without playing to the strengths of our all be it weak front line. Apart from possession stats I fail to see what he has improved.

Not bothered if he stays or goes

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Ayew, what a bellend.

Could've been a different result. Has he not had a player behind him giving him little digs loads and loads of times this season? He didn't do anything then. What a dickhead.

If I was one of our players I would've elbowed him in the face at halftime/full time.

[brian green]

You see what you see. I will see what I see.  Just don't expect me to be as supportive of Warnock, KMac, Monk, Pearson, Agbonlahor player manager or whatever cheapskate replacement this board replaces him with.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

football is about winning

we are not winning, we may have possesion stats, pass completion, whatever, but if you dont score all the tippy tappy football in areas that dont hurt the opposition is pointless

chuck a couple of academy kids in, just do something that isnt bringing richardson on

They showed a stat on BT Sports last night about pass completion. W.Ham had around 450. We had 177.
Admittedly, it was 11 v 10, but we are miles behind the decent teams.

[brian green]

You do not win unless you play better.  Winning games is not like throwing a switch.  Remi Garde does not have a magic wand he can tap on the head of Westwood and turn him into Delph.  You have to stop getting worse before you can start to get better.

What I see tells me that Remi Garde has arrested the free fall and I give him credit for that. You see something different and don't care if he goes.  It's all about opinions.
