West Ham v Aston Villa post match

[VillaTim]

Decent point . Cash Diaby Zaniolo all did well when on

[olaftab]

That seems like a win to me. 3 points clear of Spuds.

They've got a game in hand.

It’s v Chelsea they won’t win that.

[Proposition Joe]

If Diaby and Zaniolo find some form that could be the difference for us in the run in

Diaby looked more like his old self, played a lot more direct and purposeful.

[CT Villan]

Much improved after the substitutions. Digne is vastly superior to Moreno right now and Diaby should have started too. Nice to see Zaniolo score. Not sure how Tielemans stayed on though.

A hard-earned point.

[PaulWinch again]

Also bollocks to West Ham. They have loads of really talented players but their route to score is generally just borderline try and foul the keeper and bundle in the box.

[SoccerHQ]

A good point, all things considered.

Can someone please suggest to Unai that, for the next game, he should start with his second half lineup? You know, the one he ends up with once he's sorted out the shit-show he creates with his initial selection.

I was amazed Diaby didn't start today.

Maybe it's a bit carrot and stick but we start him endlessly in the Winter when he was miles off form and now he played very well against Ajax and yet can't get in ahead of Rogers today?

Think with Bailey going off the boil a little and away with Jamaica we'll see Diaby in from the start v Wolves. It was a lovely assist.

There's a decent side in there if they ever get rid of that dinosaur Moyes.

[London Villan]

Lenglent, for what he is costing us and who owns him is dreadful. Can’t pass, weak defensively. 5th choice centre back

A hard-earned point.

Invisible first half but I thought Tielemans was good second half and started to find pockets between the lines and dictating. That said I was hoping Tim would come on half time to fill the void Youri was leaving.

FT: West Ham 1-1 Aston Villa

David Moyes asks a few questions of the officials in the middle before Pau Torres offers his opinions on the matter.

The goal was ruled out and the ball certainly seemed to hit the arm of Tomas Soucek. How much he knew about it is another question.

Doesn't matter BBC, doesn't matter.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Also bollocks to West Ham. They have loads of really talented players but their route to score is generally just borderline try and foul the keeper and bundle in the box.

I was surprised just how poor they were. Far better on paper than the dross Moyes has them playing. Extremely sporting of Unai to give them 45 minutes to make it any kind of contest.

[Richard E]

Good point in the end and it sounded as though we got better as the second half progressed (the finale aside.) We need to make sure we bury the Dingles so deep in two weeks’ time that they wake up surrounded by oil and coal deposits.

[SoccerHQ]

It got lost in the disallowed goal furore but that was a sensational block by Matty Cash from Ward Prowse as looked odds on they'd score from the break.

If we make top 4 by a point you look back to moments like that as that's the commitment required to make CL.

It's just London bias from the BBC.  They can fuck off.  Clearly hit his arm.  He was also lucky not to have got booked for pushing and shoving our players. Douglas Luiz getting booked for getting elbowed in the chest by Kudus?  WTF!

You had to say it, didn't you?!
