Aston Villa vs West Ham Match Thread

[Martyn Smith]

Gahd, absolute rubbish. Misplaced balls, poor marking, lack of movement, too easy to dispossess... only Cash has really looked on it for me
.

[PeterWithesShin]

Only positive is that despite being awful we're only one down.

[Nelly]

West Ham singing there's only one Leon Bailey. wow.

Does remind me of the time Harewood came on against Newcastle and we hammered them and the Holte was singing One Kevin Keegan lol

Fuck me this is shit though.

[TopDeck113]

Our last realistic chance of a trophy is about to disappear before January is out. Yet again.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

No words.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Slow, ponderous and shit. Only one who looks interested in trying to make something happen is Maatsen.

[Steve67]

So slow moving the ball.  Mings can see the runs of Maatsen and won't gamble on the pass.  Bailey and Cash deliver fuck all.  No pace, no creativity.  West Ham happy to sit in front of the ball and catch us on the break.  Crap half of football and becoming something of a norm.  We are desperate for pace and creativity.  Maatsen might be both of those but he's not given the ball.

awful stuff so far

[paul_e]

Our only decent player on the pitch is Kamara. The rest of them have been fucking rubbish.

Had a poor start but improved. Cash has been ok too.

I feel for Maatsen, he's had the freedom of the midlands and just hasn't got the ball enough. Even when he's been found it's all into feet so he has to cut back and all the space gets eaten up.

[PaulWinch again]

Not a single shot.

Not even 'not a single shot on target', not a single shot anywhere.

We are continuing to play this way - it is not working.

[WRVilla]

What a disgusting first half. With the exception of Cash, Kamara and possibly Olsen they should all be ashamed of themselves. But they won’t be, playing like they don’t give a shit.

I reluctantly include Unai in that because this not prioritising domestic cups is a mistake.

[rougegorge]

The slowness is so deep-rooted with Mings and Konsa mostly playing the ball extremely slowly to each other, although admittedly nearly everyone else is ambling about.

[wolfman999]

The best thing about this game is I'm at home in the warm watching it on the Telly and not giving these wasters 25 quid.

[Demitri_C]

Its not just tonight is it? We have seen crap like this most of the season.

Big changes needed in summer  in my opinion. This teams not good enough. The warning signs were there from start of season

[taylorsworkrate]

If West Ham had any ambition they'd win this 3 or 4 nil.

Pathetic performance.
