Aston Villa vs West Ham post-match thread

[Somniloquism]

Bloody hell that makes a change, all I ve seen from you is moan about the game not talking about it

Word to the wise jwarry, two mods have asked people to pack in the personal attacks already. Might be worth following their direction.

Absolute garbage. VillaTim, Dimitri C, Risso and Chicago Villa will be absolutely buzzing!

What does this even mean ? Why would any of us be happy troll?

You’re one of the most negative Villa fans ever. I wouldn’t be surprised if you celebrated the equaliser.

Yet your the one calling out a host of posters and more interested in causing trouble and starting arguments.  Thats not only negative but toxic.

You been asked to stop so please stop with this nonsense

Don’t act all innocent now that someone has called you out. You’re responsible for dragging this forum into the dirt with your constant negativity.

See previous match thread…..and repeat.

We've looked iffy for most of the season. The occasional quality game here and there only serves to emphasise how poor we usually look. It feels like we play with the handbrake on most of the time, and even then the players somehow manage to look exhausted.

It's starting to get a bit worrying, to be honest.

Unai obviously tweaked our setup and tactics in the summer, but the new system, whatever it is, just doesn't work.

It's almost like we willing give up control. Midfield becomes a turnstyle, nothing sticks up front. What happened to the days when we'd press teams and keep them pinned in? Bring back the high line if that's what it takes. Watching the match today was like watching our season in microcosm.

Spot on both.

Do worry for Mings now and if that knee is ever going to be strong enough for the rigours of this league .

It was the other knee.

Phew , that's a relief and was good to see him come back out and onto the bench. Hopefully he won't be out long.
Genuinely felt Mings going off swung the game , we lost all leadership and organisation after and the injury seemed to spook everybody.
We started like an absolute train and should have been 2 up .
Moving Digne to CB looks a mistake to me .

I felt the subs were abit ineffective. Buendia  and mcginn struggled to make impact. Malen looked lively but frustrated  at times as didnt pass the ball. Will need to work on that.

Thought maatsen was the worst out of the subs. He was pretty bad. Cant believe he played for dortmund on what ive seen so far

[HolteL4]

Great fast one touch football to begin with.

Unlucky to lose Mings although makes Monchi look even more suspect.

Second half we didn’t seem to battle for the fifty fifties and midfield went same way as defence.

From there we lose control.

Monchi is a concern tbh, when Roma lost Alison to Liverpool he replaced him with Olsen.... Let that sink in.

Ok Som but they are really pissing me off . I’m Claret and Blue through and through and I was down the park in our darkest days so to to be negative about our current stat of affairs is  just plain stupidity

[Brend'Watkins]

There’s lots to like about Maatsen. There’s more to dislike about him at the moment.

[tomd2103]

Frustrating performance really.  Started really well, but then regressed to the kind of performance we saw in midweek with too many players giving the ball away too often. 

Thought it was a bid odd that Malen tucked right in when he came on and left Cash up against two defenders when we really needed some attacking width.

Seems a bit harsh for a fairly innocuous comment.

You should probably read the forum rules.
