Aston Villa v West Ham Match Thread.

There were some nice moments of link up between Coutinho and Luiz earlier on. That was encouraging. is Luiz and Kamara the way forward then?

I'd like to see Luiz given a run in the McGinn role.

With what we currently have at the club yes.

Ramsey has far more scoring threat than McGinn these days so he really should come back in at Arsenal as attacking midfielder of the trio.

I've seen enough of Ramsey for a while, for now. I'd consider Buendia for that role perhaps.

[Legion]

Buendia, Bailey and Archer on for Coutinho, Ings and Watkins after 70 minutes. Won't happen, though.

Dear God McGinn looks like a pub player at times today. Like everything about him is too slow for this level.

He looks like he's playing in clogs.

He looks out of his depth. Hesitant, predictable, head down versus head up. I hate to see it because we all love him for who he is and what he’s done. But he’s not a PL player in my opinion. The game passes him by and those balls over the top are so low percentage options yet he keeps on doing it and we almost always lose possession immediately

[pauliewalnuts]

They are tight at the back but we've not nothing for our final ball.

[Nelly]

Great little spell from us then. Coutinho was central to all that of that. Encouraging.

[KRS]

No creativity whatsoever. Constantly looking to push it out wide for shit hopeful cross after shit hopeful cross.

[Steve67]

Are they going to scab a goal and defend like fuck?

[ez]

The defence has been excellent today.

[pelty]

Crowd needs to give them a lift. Sounds like the Etihad in there.

[Toronto Villa]

Can’t the manager see this tactic of constantly shit crossing or hopefully punts doesn’t work? 

[Edvard Remberg]

Best performance of the season so far. Comfortable all over the pitch, just need a bit more quality in the final third required.

Why was the goal ruled out?

Corner went out of play prior to the player

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Crowd calling for Emi B. SG will be fuming.
