Aston Villa v West Ham Post-Match Thread

12 games to win.

Yeah Traore was very predictable in his appallingly output.

Has been utterly dreadful other than a 6 month spell at Wolves, which he’s somehow still stealing a living off.

Roided up beefcake with zero football brain.

[Somniloquism]

Very similar start to the match as last season visit from Nuno with Forest. Only difference was he had better attackers with them so they got a goal back but if it had been 4 goals to Villa at HT in either match, there could be no complaint.

Back to something like our best. Onana, McGinn, Digne, Pau and Barkley were very impressive. Also thought the atmosphere was good today. With all the other results going our way too, what a weekend and ideal before the international break.

[Villa Lew]

Superb performance Villa, SJM, Ollie, Barkley, Digne all superb, but MOTM for me was Onana, back to his best.

Now guaranteed a fourth consecutive finish above Tottenham.

Now guaranteed a fourth consecutive finish above Tottenham.

I wonder if SHA will manage it next season.

Football is meant to be enjoyable, right? And that was enjoyable!

We were on the front foot from the start and played with fluency and confidence.

It was as dominant a performance as you could hope for. Brilliant.

We are looking well placed for the run in. Good times.

 Had the 1897 group just infront of me at L6. They really added to the the atmosphere. Nice, as an older bloke hearing some of the classics from the 70's and 80's. Hope the club let them stay there.

Feels great to win in the league again, and not by an own goal!

Good to know they hit that perfect beat, boy.

We are such a good, very good team, an excellent team when we start strongly with intent.

A great performance. We should have been three up.at half.time. Five up at full.time.

McGinn back..Tielemens back..Happy days again.

[TonyD]

The tempo has returned. 

[olaftab]

Absolutely F ing marvellous. No other analysis.

Everyone played well today. Onana should probably have done better with his header in the first half, but showed what he can do today, and needs to keep up that standard.

The only gripe was that we should have put away some of the chances in the first half to make it a more convincing result.
