Aston Villa vs West Ham Post-Match Thread

Moreira.

Emi B and Youri have great ability with slide-throughs. They don't always come off but you have to accept that part of it especially when we're often slow and square-balled in possession.

For Buendia, he's only getting cameos off the bench so is more desperate to play these passes. Really glad that it came off for him on Friday night.

One of his other consistent tricks of a looping header at the near post from a corner almost brought a goal too.

Moreira.

Yeah, and as I recall we weren't allowed to play him in league games as we had too many loan players. Great research, Villa.

[john e]

Think Mark Bunn is probably the worst, then Tumbling Bear Lovre Kalinic.

Good suggestions

[RamboandBruno]

Olsen is the worst goalkeeper I’ve ever seen at Villa and he’s got competition
even the other night when he didn’t have much to do he was flapping away on crosses,
I’ve got zero confidence in him and I think the defence have the same

He is no where near good enough to be our no 2

Moreira, Kalinic, Bunn, Nyland (apart from the home leg of league cup semi final against Leicester, where for one night only he turned in prime Gordon Banks). All arguably worse and in some cases much worse than Olsen. Doesn’t mean I think Olsen is good, I don’t particularly, but its easy to forget some of the shockers we’ve had between the sticks.

Saying all that, I went to the league cup game at Man Utd just after Emery took over and Olsen probably gave the worst goalkeeping performance Ive seen live.

He can’t be worse than the fella who turned up on his pyjamas.

I can only really remember Nyland out of all those, and let’s face it no matter where you stand there’s not much in it either way

Edit
I was also at old Trafford that night
He wasn’t helped by having Augustinson and chambers in front of him

It was rubbish all round

[Mellin]

Nyland was unbelievable in that semi final. That save from Maddison was pure Martinez.

Kiraly , the scruffiest keeper ever

Nyland was mostly awful. But gave us that game and Swansea away in the League (late penalty save, from memory) and a handful of other games.

Olsen has just been mostly awful.

Tommy Hughes in the early seventies.  Awful keeper.

Evan Williams (loan) even worse.

[The Edge]

Olen's 2 errors v West Ham went unpunished. He didn't exactly have much to do either .

I heard he parks in the disabled spaces at ASDA.

The Asda went about 20 years ago if not longer

I was in Asda this morning.

I hated Brad Guzan. Partly because he was part of the smirking Santa idiots video but mostly from when we got obliterated at Arsenal and he managed to push a penalty that was hit extremely poorly straight at him in to the net. The worst attempt at saving a very poor pen i've ever seen.

Evan Williams (loan) even worse.

If we hadn't taken Evan Williams on loan then we probably would not have landed up in the third division and the rest, as they say, would not have been history.

Shame. Didn't he emulate Bozzie in a penalty shoot-out up at Sunderland?
