West Ham v Aston Villa post match

[Monty]

Konsa at right back/right center back worked when Carlos played well, and would presumably work if Mings weren't out. The trouble is with Lenglet inside being too easily bullied defending counters.

not a right back for me
he has limited technical ability and shows very little forward progresion with the ball and just doesnt look comfortable there because i dont think its his position

[VillaTim]

For the goal, it's Lenglet caught faffing about down by the corner flag , west ham win possession and quickly switch the ball to the other flank, then Rogers is a bit late getting to block the cross and then Konsa is caught napping .

He's not meant to get forward, it's not an orthodox right back role. The idea of having him there is that, in possession, he and the two centre backs shuffle across to make a three leaving the left back free to go very far forward indeed. Emery didn't invent this, though he did win more than one Europa League with it, and it worked great when we beat Man City and Arsenal inside a week.

Watching Emery at Villa for almost 18 months do we  not know his system? his system is for the left back to bomb forward and the right back to tuck in almost as a third centre back.

It was hand ball pure and simple. The West Ham luvvies on Talk Shite didn't agree. They think that because the checks took so long it wasn't a clear and obvious error. Apparently VAR and match officials are following orders off the Premier league to stop Wet Spam catching Man Yoo. The female presenter was also convinced that Jeff Stelling had it in for them. Jeez they're a paranoid lot.

If the female presenter was Bianca Westwood, then shes probably correct about Stelling.

You could tell that he didn't like her. And she didn't appear to like him either. So six of one, half a dozen of the other.

And despite the London media love-in for West Ham, including West Ham fan Westwood, the big decisions were correct except for the pen.

She was working with Jeff for the first time in ages and they have the bantz going so I don't think there is much more to it. She has this as her pinned tweet for 10 years working together and both gave as good as they got. And he was probably able to get his own back after she reported 6-1 against Hartlepool the one year.

Yup and hence only injury stopping us buying that defensive Argentinian (?) left back so that he could do exactly the same on the other side with Cash playing much further forward.

[VillaTim]

Cash had a really good game yesterday. If he could add consistency to his game he'd be great.

Even then, there was a chance to catch them offside from the cross but the blessed Pau dropped too deep.

They mentioned that on the stream I watched it on but I didn’t agree as Pau wasn’t the only player between him and the goal line. It was just a really good cross.

Bantz of the epic nature. Fair enough... 👍

To be honest I thought the analysis by Warnock (S) on MOTD was spot on. Invariably we were picking the wrong pass at the back or players weren’t creating enough space. You could see from the analysis that the right pass would have created the opportunity to cut through West Ham.

It was much better 2nd half, Luiz & Tielemans were dominating the middle of the pitch and we were basically all over them.

On the ball, the biggest difference in the second half was Diaby coming on for Duran. He was dropping deep and giving us the extra option where Duran was stuck forlornly up top, and it changed all the angles. Extremely weird that he didn't start with this.

When he's played as a right back in a back 4 he's consistently good.
