West Ham vs Aston Villa match thread

[Nelly]

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

Just hoping the ref, like me, doesn't notice.

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.

We cant match them physically - and they have started to overrun the midfield - were too narrow, I would be tempted to push some bailey out wide

[Flamingo Lane]

Horrible, thuggish side that I feel very confident we'll be bypassing in the next 18 months

That's exactly what we were saying 18 months ago!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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

Donkey feet.

[SaddVillan]

Back 4 under constant pressure, hoofing it clear, no fluidity in our play.
Midfield anonymous and absent. Front 2 haven't been able to hold the ball.

West Ham physical and uncompromising when they need to be - to good effect.

You could be right 😀

[Villan82]

They have become a bit of a bogey side since we came back.

Free kick in a good position.

How can we cock this up? When did we last score a free kick?

[PaulTheVillan]

Probably Hourihane 3 years ago

[Chris_Jephcott]

For those of you who are running behind on the streams… we didn’t score from that free kick.

[SoccerHQ]

We certainly aren't scoring a corner today v them.

[SamTheMouse]

Floaty fucking corners. I hate them.

Whip it with pace you twats!

[Toronto Villa]

At least someone is shooting for us. Bailey with a decent shot

[Scott Nielsen]

Criticism way over the top in my view. We've held up well against a very good and powerful side.
