Utter garbage...

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

Smith 0/10

Nakamba 7/10? Christ - seems committed enough, but he’s woefully short of what we need.

I know we all see games differently but I thought he was the worst player on the pitch by a long way.

Once again there is something toxic at Villa Park.  For me the coaching departures and recruitment need to be put under the microscope. There's too much that isn't working - and has in actual fact gone backwards since last season.

This - 1000% recruitment looks wrong, coaching looks wrong - really worrying

Played with spirit between the unjustified red card and 3-1.

When is the last time West Ham had such an emphatic result at VP?

Utter nonsense, he was easily our best player.

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.

But the players seem to have lost faith.

Yep and yep.

I had hoped the Arsenal game would be a wake up call, a switch to 4-3-3 and competing for everything. Yet again it looked like we got caught cold by West Ham being up for it.

First two goals we conceded looked so soft. Any point made to Mings was rendered null and void before the first have was over.

We look like we are in big trouble. Ten games in and how many good performances? One? Two?

I honestly think McGinn is more of a problem. He is way too frantic and he seems to have some random number generator that decides what his foot is going to do with the ball. Short, long, forwards or back, shoot, pass, it just seems lucky dip.

As has been said previously. Ashley Young and Nakamba, together in a midfield, having us spent £150M plus, is utterly mystifying.

Nakamba and cash ok. Hause first half was good.

This team has the potential to be stars but somehow they are looking like relegation fodder.

More to the point is when has a team that’s always been a mid to lower echelon team like West Ham beaten Villa 4-1 at home. I’m struggling to recall.

It’s incredible how things can turn so quickly.  A few dodgy tactical decisions in recent games has just shot our confidence  and that’s down to Dean I’m afraid.  He needs to take the blame and fix it or he will be gone.  If he continues to blame the players it’s only going to end one way

No cohesion, no tactics, no urgency. Smith is hopelessly out of his depth. Stealing a living.
