Aston Villa v West Ham United Match Thread

[Jon Crofts]

El Ghazi is shocking, Trez or Traore anytime you like Dean.

[Risso]

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.

They've had 10 shots!

I suppose West Ham are 5th for a reason

Fuck me you have been utter shite El Ghazi

[richtheholtender]

Our worst half for a good while.

[andyh]

El ghazi you twat. Finally a break and his control is fucking dogshite.

[SoccerHQ]

What a waste of time Barkley and AEG have been so far. That lack of move sums it up.

When the ball is in our half, we're letting them calmly stroke it around as they like.

When we're in their half, we're all huff and puff and exhibiting zero intelligence.

Barkley and AEG v poor.
Need to make changes.

Barkley is the biggest problem in midfield for me, he's completely missing when they have the ball and leaving us 2 on 3. With Lingard playing so high Luiz is having to defend deep so one of Rice or Soucek is always unmarked.

[Risso]

Fuck off El Ghazi. Fuck sake!

Jesus fucking Christ! I've counted two passes from Anwar

Agree. We are not playing badly. And had decent well worked chances. What's the problem.

yep

[Risso]

Lingard is making them tick, and Barkley absolutely is not for us.
