Bennett?

Wtf is Cissokho doing on the LB position again???

How on Earth can you write something like this? Sanchez is not a footballer, he is poor as hell and way behind Gana...and all of them are shitty players.

David Moyes a complete idiot in MOTD claimed no penalties regarding Huth's foul plays on Kozak. At least one had to be given, just remember Westwood's penalty... I agree, Kozak is little bit rusty, but he is a proven goalscorer and I do not get it, why the hell he was not playing regularly.

Which include to head a defensive clearance into the sideline, or byline. His solution before first goal was almost a worst case scenario.

Am I the only one expecting three points from Spurs? Every match is winnable as far as I know. Is not it?

Richardson was 50% guilty for third goal. Did anybody see a total idiotic movement of Sanchez trying to do a tackle from wrong side? Footballer with brain would cover Richardson from inside behind him and not to run and try to double him from outside. Sanchez guilty for 50% too. This is a basic principle of tackling and DM have to know it! Lowton played pretty well as LB as far as I remember well, why Tim switched to not 100% fit Richardson is beyond me.

There must be a problem if player found himself behind Weimann in pecking order...

No way. His right is to ask his manager why it is so. And after that, he should work on himself to eliminate those cons. That is what he is paid for.

If he drove away before kick-off due to "not being selected", his career would/had to be finished here...

Is it true?

I had thought, that he would play against QPR, but as far as I saw a diamond at home (4-1-2-1-2) I recognized, that I was wrong. And honestly, if a priority for Tim is duo Benteke - Gabby, there is no other place for Gil, but AMC occupied by Young Padavan Jack currently. Even Joe Cole is before him.

He will not adapt. This is not La Liga with no pressing and 50 kg ballerinas...

Well played yesterday, Young Padavan. Should have scored, 3:1 up at halftime, game over. It was a clear cut chance.

In this injury crysis, Tim made two mistakes yesterday imho: 1. picked Richardson instead of Lowton, who was very good as a LB when played last few games, 2. picked Sanchez, worst DM I have ever seen in Villa shirts. Reo-Cocker would be a magician compared to Sanchez. Obviously, Hutton was not fit, Tim have chosen Bacuna as an attacking right back, ok, this was better choice than Lowton, but in this case, Lowton would be obviously better choice than Richardson on the left back, as he did not play for few weeks. But why has he chosen Sanchez is beyond me. Is Westwood injured? Not on the bench... Sanchez was responsible for two goals, first with Bacuna, third with Richardson.

Weimann wasted several good breaking opportunities with a poor passes. He is a waste. Sinclair, Gil or Grealish should play instead of him anytime.

I am sure he was rested for Tuesday very important match. We will play with two creative wingers imho. If Sinclair not fit, it will be NZog and Gil. It should save his Villa career.

Imho fair assessment from last night by HITC Charles NZogbia - 5/10 He continues to struggle in a Villa shirt. NZogbia was virtually anonymous last night and looked ineffective throughout.

Yeah, let's just focus on their back up players. Also Adrian and Reid are playing very well. My main argument was Big Sam and his contribution to their overachievment - ok championship players was bit harsh (but Collins and Cole are). One thing that I hope will TS bring to us too - to play over our ability, or at least on the top of our ability. Long term injuries to Creswell, Noble, Kouyaté, Song or Sakho and without Big Sam, as I wrote, relegation fight (same as for Vlaar, Delph, Benteke etc.). They have a barcelona midfielder on £80k and he has been given vasts funds to improve the team. It isn't West Ham fans fault he spunked it on Andy Carroll and five year 50k a week deals for his bumboy Nolan. You also keep mentioning Cole? How much money has he spent on strikers there? Carroll, Valencia, Sakho, Miaga. That's £35m off the top of my head. To be honest, I do not rate any of their strikers. Re Valencia and Sakho - I will rate them, if they are good in their third or fourth season in PL. My guts tell me, wait for the sophomore jinx, one season wonders like Weimann.

Not giving it 100% Thanks. It is hard to say who is lamb, as we can not see players in training vs. match. May be, the better question should be, who has the ability to play on Europe places, mid-table, relegation or championship levels. Pat Murphy should name those players, without it, it is worth nothing.

Championship players? This is the best West Ham squad I can remember. Not overacheiving at all. Come on, really? AVFC flops like Collins or Cole? Or Demel? Reid? Nene? Simple questions: Adrian or Guzan? Caroll or Benteke? Etc. Let the injuries struck and they will fight relegation without Big Sam. Mark my words.

Did not he work enough? I saw him over the whole width of the pitch between WBA defenders and midfielders. He surprised some WBA defenders at times, that he was in the build-up of chance creation and not in the box, just trying late runs into the box - it is so hard to mark those runs. He wasted at least one clear chance after that late run into the box when his header was blocked by defender, both commentators thought, it was going in, only replays to show, that it was tremendous last ditch tackle to convert the ball for a corner. The beast is improving and I hope he will be fully awaken just in time to save us. I would like to see his heat map from last night match. Edit: adding.

What does it mean "phoning in" performance? (I am not English).

They don't like him because he plays a limited brand of football. Ok, I have got it, they want him to play Barcelonasque football with Championship players. WHU are big overachievers only thanks to Big Sam. We played limited football under MON too... I think West Ham's dislike of Big Sam is a bit extreme, but I don't blame them for wanting him out now. One of the biggest failings of a lot of clubs, imo, is hanging onto managers for too long. Because they deserve it or just blind faith. Look at us with MON, or Stoke with Pulis, or Arsenal with Wenger or potentially West Ham with Big Sam. There's a real skill in knowing when your manager has hit his ceiling and making a change before they do any damage. Look at Southampton when they got Pochettino in for Adkins. Seemed madness at the time. Big Sam is a very good manager. And I'd love him here. But he has a ceiling and that seems to be Europa League positions (ish). West Ham are in an excellent position now, but the time may be perfect for them to get someone better in. Good league position, London club, new stadium round the corner, decent finances, lots of money on the horizon. It's an attractive proposition. An intelligent appointment now and letting Big Sam go could be a very good move for them. Stevo, one of the best explanation I have ever read on any forum in my life. Really good job. Now, I understand, thank you.
