West Ham v Aston Villa post match

[Somniloquism]

I’m reading Sky’s report of the game saying our point was undeserved, what the fuck?!? So having the same shots and shots on goal whilst having 70% of posession as the away team doesn’t count as deserved?!? Fucking wankers

Not sure what the problem was. The story is always going to be we "escaped with a point" when a last minute goal is disallowed for the opposition. If it had happened the other end, it would have been Villa were denied all three points. They even mention our penalty shout but mention we were not deserving of all three points, which is probably true.

And their highlights package covers us having all the best legal chances of the game with showing their goal and the two disallowed efforts.

Deserved point, now have to hope all those on International duty come back without Injury. Diaby did well when he came on and made a nice pass for Zaniolas goal.

Lenglet didn't play for half a season and as a fifth choice centre half, has been fine and at times, very good. He didn't play well today but you could see some of that was attributable to playing on the right not left. Plus the centre halves all suffered on the ball because there was nobody to pass to first half.

I hate all this 'so and so gave one of the worst performances ever' or 'he should never play again' whenever a player has a poor game.

Same here. Hyperbole bollox.

Not really sure there’s any reason for starting Moreno ahead of Digne at the moment, he is well off his game.

I’d concur with this, Moreno to be used as a
Sub if you’re looking for some attacking impetus in the final 20-30mins.

[achilles]

Much better after the substitutions but still not great.

For the love of Mcgrath can that please be the last we see of Lenglet in a Villa shirt

That’s a bit harsh. He was poor today, but he’s been decent in the main.

We've conceded a lot of goals with him in the team. He's just poor

On that basis Martinez must be poor as well!

[VillaTim]

Well I'd save Lenglet for the conference games then.

Lenglet is a loan backup due to Mings. He has been much better than Carlos.

Moreno has been poor against half decent teams since his injury.

Today we struggled at times without 2 of our best 3 midifeilders.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Kit stealers should consider themselves lucky with the big decisions.
Any sort of handball (any intention or not) leading to a goal has to be disallowed, so there is no argument to be had about the two disallowed for them.
Other handball decisions are open to interpretation. They should consider themselves very very lucky that we were not given a penalty first half.

[Risso]

There was absolutely no reason to start Lenglet today. He's been fine as a back up to Torres, but that's all he is. We looked so much better when we reverted to our best back four of Cash, Konsa, Torres and Digne. Moreno has been poor for ages now. He's more attacking than Digne, but he's about as good at defending as Bailey is. Duran showed that to be in this team, you've got to be able to add a lot more to proceedings and we looked miles better when Diaby came on.

Still, I'd have grudgingly settled for a point there, but for the second game in a row now, Emery has got the starting line up all wrong, and it's costing us.

[Goldenballs]

I was out so missed this one, sounds like it was a pretty stressful watch.

Only lost 3 at home haven't they? Decent point.

[Richard E]

Is Ramsey likely to be fit for the Wolves game?

Me too. Some posters talk about certain squad players as though it's the 2015-16 squad. it is absolutely pathetic given the season we are having.

Zaniolo is another example. Gets dogs abuse here. Has won us two points this season with crucial goals and that ight be what gets us into the European cup for the first time since 1983.

[Gareth]

VAR got two decisions right and one wrong for me.  Was a game of 3 handballs.

Cash, Konsa, Torres & Digne/Moreno - stop trying to shoe horn Lenglet in, if he was as good with the ball as he clearly thinks is he’d be captain of Barcelona not farmed out to us

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

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

Three European quarter-finals in a row. That’s West Ham we’re talking about.
