Aston Villa 1-4 West Ham Post match debacle.

[LukeJames]

Leon Bailey, Long throws.

[PaulWinch again]

Absolutely unacceptable. Again.

[wince]

Excuses at the ready.

[Villan82]

Embarrassing. As bad as the relegation year. Manager has got to go.

[Proposition Joe]

The only person that can save this season is Boris Johnson. We need a full national lockdown in the UK, and all games behind closed doors. It's the only way the Villa Churchmice can play with any confidence.

Battle of the Bad

Dean Smith v. Chris Kavanagh

[saint13]

Times up for me. Not sure who they can get but Smith is not the answer.

We are piss poor in midfield and the decision not to get a central midfield player in on loan after tracking ESR & JWP all summer will cost him his job.

[LukeJames]

The 2nd half when we pressed them they actually looked shite so its perplexing why we spent the week preparing for this game with the primary tactic being to sit off them.

[Demitri_C]

As bad as when we got thumped by Leicester qnd the lockdown saved his job. Not this time. Your times up.

Crap subs no belief from our players defending horrible. A complete and utted shit show.

Smith out

[CT Villan]

Utter garbage...

Nakamba 7/10
AEG 6/10
Everyone else 3/10

Smith 0/10

[aj2k77]

West Ham 21 shots
Arsenal 22 shots
Wolves 9 shots
Tottenham 17 shots
Man Utd 28 shots
Everton 11 shots
Chelsea 12 shots
Brentford 13 shots
Newcastle 9 shots
Watford 13 shots

A massive increase in the last 5 games, from not having conceded more than 13 shots we're now letting teams have 20+ and we've already conceded 3 goals or more in 5 games. We've only played 10. A big shit show and work for a better manager than a very limited, championship mid table manager, like Smith.

[jwarry]

Well I was not expecting that! Back to a back 4 and with our two most expensive signings on show I expected better.  The two goals we conceded were feeble shots from outside the box and then the bizarre sending off was always going to end one way.   

The post Jack era is not going well I’m afraid - so I’m blaming him!

[steamer]

Not sure where we go from here, apart from a few pockets of competence we were dreadful and  clueless across the pitch

[Beard82]

That went as bad as it could have - I’m gutted to say it but I think that’s it for dean.

It’s not the defeats - it’s the performances.

Feel today was this season in 90 mins - no luck with injuries, misfourntune and a dire performance. 

Thought the referee was awful.

But the players seem to have lost faith. 

[aj2k77]

I don't understand Nakamba getting a 7. You might as well have a terrier on the pitch, chasing around the ball and then giving it up because he can't control it. An abysmal player and too limited to make an impact in a top half team.
