West Ham London - 1 Aston Villa - 1 The Post Match Thread.

[Smirker]

Shit performance imo and we're struggling to score.

We have scored in 13 consecutive league games. When did we last do that?
The negativity is ridiculous

Negativity 

We've scored 3 in 3. That's not enough. We can't keep clean sheets every game.

[Brazilian Villain]

You're lucky. It was a bit drab.

Still, a point away from home isn't to be sniffed at, I suppose.

A win would have been nice but given our record against West Ham we'll take that away from home.

[Exeter 77]

West Ham are a typical over-physical Moyes side with a couple of decentish players. If they go down, or even if they don't, it will be interesting to see where Bowen plays next season,

How about the 4 in 3 we have scored?

I see something in Duran that I never saw in Keinan: goal threat.

[Keeno]

I was concerned about McGinn alongside Luiz in the deeper midfield spot today, and he's obviously no Kamara, but he did pretty well overall. His return to form since Emery arrived has been very welcome.

[PaulTheVillan]

Seen us play better and lose

Seen us play worse and win

Close enough game; I’d have taken a point before kick off.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Missed it as was out for lunch. It wasn’t going to be easy without Kamara. We need to add some quality in the summer. But we’re picking up points even if not playing fantastically. I’m ok with that.

[LukeJames]

As for Gale, he surpassed himself in the second half, particularly when he all but said Gerrard was a better manager than Emery.

Thank you! I wondered who the fuck that was. What a helmet.

[Monty]

Yeah, there was one moment where he did all the grunt work, gave it wide and immediately hared off for the goalmouth. That's the instinct you need.

[TonyD]

Bailey and Ramsey shouldn’t be starting.
Poor subs. 
Not a great manager performance. 

[j66acd]

Turgid crap.

Bailey very poor once again, Cash, Ramsey and Moreno not at the races either. Ollie took his goal well and should have had another. Duran unlucky not to score also.

At least we didn't lose.

Must have watched a different game to me as going forward all of our good play and chances in the first half come through Moreno getting forward. Bowen is decent and he did a decent job of keeping him quiet and it showed how well he was doing when Digne come on and was beaten quite a few times.

[SamTheMouse]

Bit surprised by the negative reactions, to be honest. I thought it was OK, though not brilliant. There were some great passages of play and we largely dominated possession. You can see the players are really trying to stick to Emery's instructions.

Spam had some decent chances, but so did we, and to be honest some of their personnel are better than ours. Bowen in particular is very good. We were missing possibly our best in Kamara, too. Ultimately it was only a soft pen that stopped us winning.

It's going to be like this until Emery gets a team of his own players together. Quite excited to see that, because we aren't all that far off being properly good IMO.

[VillaBoy_23]

Dire game. Moreno looks dangerous going forward but continuously got done down his side, especially in the first half. They were there for the taking after HT but as usual we didn’t make the most of our chances.

[astonvilla82]

Why does Bailey put his hands on the player, he's going away from goal,
