Aston Villa v West Ham United Match Thread

[The Edge]

Feels like they have more players on the pitch than us. We're getting outnumbered in every department.

[pauliewalnuts]

Piss poor

Lucky to be level.

[jwarry]

Maybe a few too many games in their legs recently

No more than W Ham. It’s down to tactics at the moment and we need to stay in it until Dean can fix it. Might be tempted to bring Jack into 10

[PaulWinch again]

Having 11 men would help. El Ghazi with the worst display of the season.

He’s having a rubbish game, but he’s far from the only one.

Giving the ball away like the old Villa

I am not sure about Barkley at all.

[Risso]

Luiz and McGinn isn't working at the moment as the defensive two. Luiz looks off the pace and McGinn looks back to his worst unfit self.

Fuck off El Ghazi

[Risso]

Maybe see what Sanson can do after the break.

Yep they’re both having poor games and Barkley just makes mistakes in the defensive third.

[pauliewalnuts]

We are absolutely gifting them the midfield, and as a result the entire game is being played in our half.

[Pat Mustard]

Are we all watching the same game? We haven’t been brilliant but they are by no means destroying us. I’d look at switching El Ghazi for Traore second half and then Sanson for McGinn or Barkley later on, but we’re not being run ragged, just a bit sloppy.

[Edvard Remberg]

Doubling down on jack,  should leave more space for the others,  but nope...

[olaftab]

Dean needs to ditch Anwar at HT

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Get El Ghazi off. He just stood there watching as West Ham attacked in front of him. Shocking. He's offering nothing. Traore or Trez to replace him.
Barkley can go to, bring on Marvelous and push SJM further up.
