West Ham United vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[CT]

Shouldn’t be losing this, but it looks like we’ll manage it.

I agree that we look okay going forward, but this is against a team who are there for the beating.

Yeah i remember Watkins missing a few pens for Brentford  last season

Think traore would do better on the left wing

We haven't been shit. We have outplayed a form team away from home. One of those days where nothing goes right in front of goal.

This is every bit as crap as last season.  We're going to get sucked towards the bottom, no doubt at all.  Fucking rubbish.

Sorry I think that's rubbish.  General play is pretty good and we've been much the better side but we're missing sitters.  Last season we were just shite.

We've been shite today, or have you been watching a different match?

I don't think we've been that bad. Better than Spam anyway. We need Barkley back though.

We could've easily scored about 5 goals tonight.

Match threads and knee jerk reaction go hand in hand so nothing much to concern about.

We could easily have scored 5 against Brighton, but we lost with a wimper.

Come on Villa get this sorted, we should have beat this lot out of sight.

Blimey 5 minutes left although there should be another 5 given Trez was down for about 3 minutes before the penalty.

Think penalty was our last big chance here given all the defensive players West Ham have. Have to hope for a good corner.....

[Rudy Can't Fail]

West Ham are shite. I can't believe we're losing to such dross.

[ktvillan]

I'm with Risso.  It's been poor and predicatable.

I'm not sure what people expect - We've created loads of chances.  What is predictable is our unerring ability to drop huge bollocks at each end.  But we haven't played badly at all.

I think he was a poor buy and the best player in the country plays on our left wing.

[SoccerHQ]

I genuinely thought we’d be different this season. However, we really aren’t.

New defenders and wingers in January if possible.

We're 9 points clear of bottom 3........

Last season at this point I think we were 18th. Beat Newcastle and things will still be looking fine so that's a really big game now for me and we have some more winnable ones over xmas.

El Ghazi as graceful as a shot rhinoceros.

If bring on AEM as our final "attacking" sub dosen't show our desperate need for another striker in January I don't know what does.

Really need another CB in aswell as AEM was back up for that position aswell.

We are still really thin in key positions in the squad and lack that plan B spark in games we're behind.
