Aston Villa vs West Ham post-match thread

[Martyn Smith]

Looked lively sporadically going forward but dispossessed too easily and too many loose balls

[Aldridge Villa]

The Mings injury was the turning point. Totally threw us and took the wind out of our sails .

That’s open to debate.

The draw/West Ham was 4-1 at HT.  So at least not as overdrawn as I was earlier.

Excellent for 15 min, awful thereafter. Lucky to get a point in the end.

Kamara our best palyer by a country mile.

With the excepetion of Malen, each substitution made us much worse.

Special metion to Maatsen who put in one of the worst cameos I have ever seen from a sub.

Ref was as bad as our 2nd half performance.

[CT Villan]

We wont be challenging for Europe if we only turn up for 15 mins each game. I've tried hard to be patient but Maatsen is not showing anything like what I expected from him.

The ref was very, very poor. Funny how we keep getting officials like this !

We have been poor for ages, and Unai doesn't look to know how to snap us out of it properly.

Monchi is also going to have some big questions to answer if we find ourselves with one fit centre half.

Looking shit against utter dross like West Ham, it's not good enough.

[Tuscans]

Kamara is great.

Digne is cockeyed. McGinn at No10 isn't a thing.We have attacking coaches, defending coaches, set piece coaches....where are the passing to your own player coaches?

[ROBBO]

We started off pressing then we scored and allowed them to slow the game down. The rest of the season will be tough.

[Baldy]

It's the expectation that kills you.

Painful viewing yet again.

Absolute Blues referee, no way they should be finishing with 11 on the pitch. I think it peaked when they fouled us, we were playing on and about to break and then he blew up and pulled it back. Utterly fucking brain dead performance.

[Le Lapin]

Abysmal, lots of passengers out there today. We switched off the second our goal was disallowed for offside and never switched back on. Shocking to witness such a spineless performance. It's hard to know how to fix this. Need a spine in the team.

[Martyn Smith]

I know it's easy to be wise after the event but ditching our one fit senior reserve cb before getting another in...?

[PeterWithesShin]

The ref was crap and the Mings injury was far from ideal but I don't think they excuse how to shit we went.

[VillaBoy_23]

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

[JUAN PABLO]

Kamara the only one with credit
