Aston Villa v West Ham United Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Barkley off for Davis and see how that looks for 15 minutes. Pull Jack and Traore in as stretching the play hasn't worked at all and it's been too easy for them to counter.

Davis on for Barkley?  That makes no sense at all.

Watkins    Davis         Jack

                  Traore

something like that or just pull Jack into the 3 centrally. Too easy for West Ham.

We’ve been bullied, harried, forced into giving away cheap possession. Created  nothing and lacked composure with the ball. Can’t think of anyone whose had a even half decent game. Other than that it’s been great.

Watkins needs some help - useless bastards

[BC Villain]

Tiredness or not, this has been an utterly pathetic performance

[Risso]

Smith has been completely and utterly out thought by Moyes.

[D.boy]

Fabianski has hardly had to make a save

[paul_e]

Worse than Leeds performance, this is what happens when you keep playing the same fucking side every three days in a really hard period when the squad has hda Covid proplems too. On the manager I'm afraid.

This

Yep, agreed, the biggest problem here is that we just don't look as sharp as usual.

To be fair weve had to play loads of games to make up for the Covid cancellations, it was bound to catch up with us soon.

We haven't played any games to make up for the Covid cancellation yet. Most teams have been playing two games a week more or less since Christmas.

[picicata]

This is hardly a surprise, we've been pretty turgid since the covid break.

[Bad English]

Davis is not on the bench.

Oh. He is. Not that it makes a difference.

[Jon Crofts]

Is that the first save Fabianski has made?

[pauliewalnuts]

This is where i struggle a bit with Dean

We're losing badly, it's not going to change if we don't make a change on-pitch. Why just stand there and watch it pan out predictably?

[andyh]

Ramsey coming on ?

[wolfman999]

To be fair to Barkley, he’s returned after a long break to play a lot of games in a short time and it’s caught up with him. He needs subbing and give Sanson a go at the games gone anyway.

[Iamkmkm]

Davis is not on the bench.

Davis couldn't finish his dinner.
