West Ham United vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Edvard Remberg]

McGinn didn't track him . Been pretty shit

[eamonn]

McGinn just like against Southampton, hopeless at marking from set pieces.

What a way to concede your first away goal of the season! Soft as shite

[PaulWinch again]

Well that’s the game - we know how well we respond to going behind.

[Risso]

Why does Mings spend every corner not marking anybody? Runs round like a headless chicken.

[kippaxvilla2]

Vestergaard v McGinn all over again just fcuk off!

[devilla]

Mings just stood there for the goal without a care in the world.

[cdbearsfan]

Why would McGinn be assigned to someone twice his height anyway? Right, mon now Villa get your arses in gear please.

[villadelph]

I cannot stand zonal marking.

Expecting Targett to jump vertically from a standstill over someone running with a full head of steam is suicide.

[pooligan]

Still unable to defend corners ,what is it with our defenders

[DrGonzo]

Is there a stable stream out there?  I'm assuming that they've scored but...

[ktvillan]

I reckon Moyes just watched our pathetic defending for the Southampton corner and said "copy that".  And it worked.

[Risso]

How many goals have we conceded from set plays now. We don’t even make it difficult for teams.

[Louzie0]

That bench is awful. No strikers or central defenders.

Let’s hope they get inspired if called upon. By McGrath’s knees, we may need it.

[Hillbilly]

Given our record after going behind there’s a decision to be made - see it out or go and do something more enjoyable for the next couple of hours.

[SoccerHQ]

Pathetic. Now we have to do what we haven’t done all season and come back to get something when trailing.

If we're going to become a decent top half team in near future we're going to have to learn that skill sooner or later so might aswell start tonight.

All about the response now. Last year's 11 would've spent next 75 minutes feeling sorry for themselves and then concede another towards the end.
