Aston Villa 1-4 West Ham Post match debacle.

[Aldridge Villa]

Wise words Mole, you said what I was thinking.

It was a really poor performance.  We gave them far too much respect and didn't lay a glove on them in midfield or for the first two goals.  West Ham didn't need to break sweat and were patient after we had a purple patch.  I do blame the referee for their third when Nakamba was battered by Fornals, he was clearly caught late and the red card count should have been evened up.  Saying that, Hause should have got the red, not Konsa.  Good to see Ollie get on the scoresheet again but not a single player for me, except maybe Martinez, who was suspect early on, would get 5 match marks or more.  Our midfield is out of a Christmas cracker and Sanson must be a whole heap level of shit if he's not as good at the three today.  We are better than this and Dean seems to have lost them, either that, or they are simply not playing for him.  Set pieces seem to be going backwards.

Out of interest who would people have preferred to see come on instead of Young?

I would have given Chuky a spin, dropped McGinn a bit deeper. A risk of course but fortune favours the brave.

Watching Bailey repeatedly trying - and failing miserably - to deliver long throws, reminded me of Kane taking corners for England under Hodgson.

The sort of thing that doesn't so much make you question the manager's tactics as his sanity.

El Ghazi so Buendia could move in to the centre to replace Ramsey.

Given we were already 1-0 down, that would have been the sort of substitution Dean used to make.

Stick chucka in there he yes he is young but has legs and  can create .

What is he doing on the bench if not ready , might of been his chance

I honestly can’t fathom some of the comments on here. Once again, maybe I was watching a different match. We even started the game with a long punt upfield for a throw in to them. Throughout the match, I never thought we looked anything like winning it. Too sloppy with passes, not very much passion from the players. I could go on. I love the Villa but, can’t seem to buy those claret and blue tinted glasses anywhere.

Chuk as a straight swap or AEG and go to a 4231. Neither would've been ideal but both show more thought than bringing an ageing left back into midfield.

[Footy-Vill]

Even Davis to hold up the ball and Watkins run off him
As a hold up player Big KD has got his uses

But yes any of CC or AEG or KD in hindsight would have been more forward thinking than Young

[TelfordVilla]

Very disappointed to lose 4 on the spin. I would have preferred to see Chucky on rather than Young.  That was too conservative from Deano. The sending off killed us. Emi needs to sharpen up, too many air miles is affecting his performances. Watkins at 9 is the way to go. Back 4. Just need to find a mid field 3 that works.

[London Villan]

Other than his two games for us, has young ever played central midfield?

[Clampy]

Accusing Smith of 'Stealing a Living' is one of the more pathetic things I've read on here.

That wasn't good. Their first two shots went in, and putting Ashley on for Ramsey was just absoutley ridiclous and although we tried to make a fist of it after Konsa went off (which I've not seen back yet),  it was never going to be enough. That all said, I hope he gets the next three games to turn it round.

You'll get over it I'm sure, Clamps.

I really don’t know what to say. We were abysmal from minute one. Second to everything, those fucking ridiculous goal kicks, and please don’t get me started on long throws - are we fucking Stoke? The discipline has totally gone out of the window, Buendia for instance storming down the touch line- who the fuck does he think he is? And what is Smith doing letting that happen? Pull rank, tell him to get a tracksuit top on and sit the fuck down.
