Ratings and Reactions: Villa v West Ham

Better in places, but this match really hammered home the point that if we keep on relying on Hutton as our main source of crosses we are screwed. He's put in more crosses than any other player again, but how many of them were even half-decent?

Ayew great, Veretout great, Gana okay. Gil a tad disappointing when he came on, Westwood capable but indecisive. Needed to win that, showed endeavour and desire, but what we really lack is skill.

Good to see continued improvement under Garde. Better organised, better football, better stamina, more guts.

Ayew excellent but faded second half, Vertout very good again, Lescott continues to improve, barely a foot wrong, and good all round display from Gana. Westwood poor, the only player to rarely risk a forward pass. Gil poor going both ways, so surely Traore has nudged ahead of him now, should have had 20-30 minutes not 10.

We're down.. Based on our form we have squandered too many games this season to do anything about it. We are getting to the point where we need several months of nothing but wins and that's not going to happen.

Good away days those. Don't think we'll be playing Bolton though, they'e the Aston Villa of the Championship.

All the chances fell to the players who can't imagine what the ball hitting the net would be like. Every shot was an ode to the goalkeeper. 'Let's see how the keeper can save this one'. Disappointing. Some positives, but we just didn't have the belief to put the ball in the net.

We played VERY well, Jordan Ayew no doubt a star, but again can't take chances. Can't fault them for effort honestly, everybody saying ok that's it we are gone? It is one point more than we had today, we can also possibly win one of the "not so winnable" looking games ya know?
