Aston Villa vs West Ham Match Thread

Dont want it .....its as simple as that

[VillaTim]

Cannot even comment on the defence or midfield really when they have clearly been told (again in the cup) not to bother . I mean leaving Martinez out and playing Olsen tells you everything about how Emery treats these cup games . Remember Stevenage it's just as bad

[PhilVill]

Shameful performance. Watkins, Bailey, Rodgers and Tileman's have been absolutely shite. Buendia and JJ on, I don't give a shit who comes off as long it's two of those four.

[Villatillidie25]

Absolutely shocking. Worse than Leicester 1st half. Cash and Maatsen about the only ok players. Everyone else useless. Special mentions to Mings & Konsa who move the ball slower than a snail. Nothing offered by Watkins, Rogers or Bailey and the midfield 3 have been ponderous and sloppy.

[pauliewalnuts]

They have all been terrible, but genuinely, Watkins and Bailey are delivering sack-worthy performances.

Genuinely disgraceful, not even pretending to try.

It’s not, sadly. If it was that’d easier, this is a continuous pattern of really aimless and passive play.

[Nelly]

Why even bother entering the FA and League cups if we're gonna do this? Just turn up and play at 50% to fulfil the fixture? What's the point?

[usav]

Rogers can't trap anything
Watkins really lacking in confidence, not making the right runs
Bailey goes down at the slightest puff of wind
Nobody is spotting Martsen in acres of space.

When did Spam suddenly get organised?

[Hillbilly]

They’ll come out, hit us on the break, game over.l

[dicedlam]

Many of the players seem so disinterested. Especially Bailey, Watkins and Tieleman. Is Roger’s even playing?

Absolute garbage that half.

[brontebilly]

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

I think he's been dreadful defensively. Summerville roasted him first 20 mins. Mings not confident pinging the ball down the line to isn't helping. Maatsen doesn't look fully fit.

Ramsey for Rogers, Buendia for Bailey or Tielemans.

[SaddVillan]

Kamara tried to pick things up in the last few minutes, but Tielemans and Rogers haven't been in the game.

Ollie's has no service at all.

We haven't had a single shot at all.

Dreadful.

[andyh]

When you consider the competition, the occasion, and the national audience , that was disgusting.

Bailey needs to stop being a fucking wuss and lying around holding his head when anyone so much as looks at him. He does if far too fucking often.

[CT Villan]

Pathetic Villa.

Little Jimmy Somerville has been impressive for WH
