Fuckin livid as livid been for a long time.

Two shit goal conceded  - yes.

But easily the better team. By a distance

And Watkins non goal was a foul - should have been a pen.

Lost 4 points to wank VAR

As I keep saying, it's not the tech that's ruining the game it's the refs operating it by not adhering to the "clear and obvious" guideline.  If you are having to draw lines on the screen it's blatantly obvious it's not clear and obvious. Simple.

West Ham were lousy, just lousy and we were miles better but we've said this too many times now.

Missing easy chances and defending badly is poor play. Trezeguet has missed two absolute sitters in 2 games and that just isn't good enough and we are so soft defensively that you always fear that a defensive mistake is just around the corner.

However the VAR decisions are sucking the joy out of the game.

I felt sick after Brighton and I feel sick now.

Didn't see this one Dave so started another. Please merge

This is so frustrating but also part of our evolution. We are getting better but we are just so wasteful and too many players are invisible or not the needed quality. We threw away at least a point and certainly could have got three. Ollie needn't get up for penalties again. That was poor.

Only consolation is imagine if we had that tonight in the final game last season. Think that sort of defeat relegating us would've finished me with football.

A really stupid and needless defeat. Shame as I was very happy with how we played as I thought Barkley would be a big miss but we cut through West Ham no problem although he'd have probably buried one of the Trez chances.

VAR is an atrocity and I still think we'd have won it anyway if Watkins had buried the penalty. He tried to be far too clever. Just get it on target and even if keeper saves there's a decent chance it would be retaken with him off the line.

Only disappointment is conceding 30 seconds into second half which tbh is unprofessional given what happened at start of the game. We do still have an air of that at times which could easily stop this 11 finishing as high up the league as our play deserves.

I think AEM coming on as our final attacking change while being at the same time our backup CB if anything had happened to the two tonight also shows we need a bit more help in those areas in January.

See why half of us were misery arses pre match Paul e.....(wink). Such a Villa way to lose two games after winning 3-0 at Arsenal.

Think we'll batter Newcastle though.

The application of VAR is utter bollocks. The offside rule was not designed for this.

Anyway we ve got an exiting Villa team and future back. It would take a lot to be (stable) amongst the better teams I guess. Nearly teams hit the woodwork and are nearly onside and seems to have some bad luck. Reality is teams and managers such as those from Brighton, Southampton and West ham are better than us as the moment. My expetations for the season are lowered after a (bit too) promising start.

It’s not football anymore but that’s no excuse for not beating Gollum’s shitehawks, West Ham should be relegation fodder on that showing.



They're 5th in the league. Won't stay there of course but they've only lost 1 of their last 8 now and are unbeaten v us, Leicester, man. City and Spurs in that time.

Finishing above them will represent a good season and probable top half finish.

It was McGiin, Luiz and Hourihane, not the defenders, who lost Ogbonna for the first goal.  Three of them went with the other two West Ham players while Ogbonna went the other way.

We dominated and were by far and away the better side.

They had 23 touches in our box, most of which must have occurred in the first 2 minutes of the first half and first minute of the second.

We didn't huff and puff, we dominated the ball, created the only threat in the game and cut them open enough, got into dangerous positions on enough occasions and missed gilt, edged, sitters.

I'm not sure we can play as badly as West Ham, be dominated so comprehensively, give the opposition nailed on sitters and win. Maybe Southampton away in 2013.

Just baffled. And the VAR. Carragher is spot on, its a fucking foul and because Watkins is fouled he is apparently offside, because some twat in a shed thinks an arm is offside and arbitrarily draws lines and fucking guess, quite frankly to decide a game on MM.

I've seen some opinions that we played badly, that we were shite- everybodybhas their view, but nonsense. Utter nonsense.

Frustrated with the result, hugely- but we looked by far and away the better side.

Worryingly we are unable to get anything from a game if we concede first. That is a serious weakness at this level.

Not sure I can actually take anymore of this VAR bullshit. You just know you can’t celebrate a goal these days. Football is dying.
