West Ham vs Aston Villa match thread

[Duncan Shaw]

Is it fair to say I don't mind him scoring?

[Villan82]

We are so inconsistent . Could we just occasionally grind out a fucking draw please?

[Percy McCarthy]

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

We’ll need to fake a concussion sub then.

[SamTheMouse]

McGinn's been absolutely useless btw.

[Toronto Villa]

We haven’t been at the races today in an attacking context. Playing fluid football against the lower teams and then going up against some of the best is a very different challenge. West Ham’s size, physicality and organization has served to completely disrupt our forward momentum.

[Deano's Mullet]

Toothless in second half reckons Sky.

[Nelly]

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.

I guess we could say they've had a really good season and ours has been very topsy-turvy, so maybe from that perspective, it's not too bad to finish behind them. We've not been outclassed today, just outplayed.

[SoccerHQ]

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.

We won't if we never rotate the team enough after midweek games next season.

Very O'Neill esque today in how it's panned out.

[Hampshire Villa]

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

how you gonna do that.?  We only have one sub left

[PaulTheVillan]

Poor

[Goldenballs]

We've been shite.

[Monty]

Good for him though.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We look knackered.

[PaulTheVillan]

So many poor touches.

[villadelph]

Jesus Ollie can you just retain the damn ball once?!
