West Ham vs Aston Villa match thread

[enigma]

Had to be him didn't it?

Good goal though to be fair.

[ChicagoLion]

It was coming Gerrard left it too late

[ez]

ah crap.

[SoccerHQ]

That was coming tbh.

Good finish.

We haven't offered anything nearly enough today once we cross the halfway line.

[Nelly]

That had been coming for ages. Good finish, they're a good team.

[N'ZMAV]

second best for most of this game

[Steve67]

Fucking standing off them again in the box. Fuck sake. I forgive Yarmolenko though.

[Chris_Jephcott]

A much bigger test than our previous 3. However, we haven’t shaped up badly against them at all…

We’re not quite there yet. But we will be.

[ChicagoLion]

Over run in midfield nothing sticking when we have played it forward.

[SamTheMouse]

Playing Leeds always seems to leave us absolutely knackered in the next game.

[SoccerHQ]

That had been coming for ages. Good finish, they're a good team.

Bad match up for us these days no doubt.

We shouldn't just accept them finishing 10 + points clear of us every season though considering what we're spending.

[Nelly]

I'd get Sanson and Buendia on. We just don't seem to have anything in midfield.

[andyh]

This has been piss poor. As dominant as our midfield was on Thursday, they have been totally ineffective today

[Chris_Jephcott]

We haven’t offered much in the second half though.

[bilsim]

Horrible, thuggish side that I feel very confident we'll be bypassing in the next 18 months... But still annoying that we've not really been able to create anything
