Ratings & Reactions: Villa v West Ham

[KAZZAM]

Why no Connor ???!

[briny_ear]

Frustrating night.

Not good enough at the moment.

[Jimzk5]

We really aren't very good

Wesley has the strength of a wet paper bag. 

Long season ahead 

[Monsieur Hazdazler]

We're not a bad side but our front 3 and ability/inability to score is a major concern for the season

[andym]

So naive when they went down to 10, we panicked and it was like we thought we needed to score straight away, so we just started lumping it

The decision making from a number of players was awful

We looked better when they had 11

[kurtsimonw]

Good ref for a change. 

Players played too within themselves, too scored. 

Shocker from the manager. Rarely ever changes a game for the better, always too late to change things anyway. Very negative against 10 men at home. 

[Lerner's Driver]

Much needed point, good battling, but our decision making when in possession was woefully bad. We lacked quality.

[HongKongVillan]

Wesley should have had a crack instead of diving

[penguin]

I’d have taken a point pre-game but obviously always disappointing when they go down to 10.

They went down to easy but the ref was fine in fact I’d say good overall and at least consistent.

Marvellous was class.

Kodj next game! West Ham are decent but yet again there for the taking tonight. Think Smith bottled it in front of the home fans a little. Should have brought on Hourahaine.

[bojong]

I know most wont be happy, but I think both the result and performance were ok. 

[chrisvilla4]

Meh

[villadude]

We gave the ball away far too often.

Wes is rubbish. 

Hardly got a good ball to him all game. Even with an extra man, we created **** all. Absolute shit apart from the back 5.

[maqroll]

Relegation form. 

Too slow, too stupid, not enough desire. I'd like to see Hourihane , Targett, and Davis start next week. Might be time for Jack to sit too.

[brummybloke]

Dear god, no excuses for some of grealish passing 2nd half that was shocking.

Jota should have been off at half time.

We didn't look like we would score if we had played another 30 minutes.

Very poor up front tonight. Poor decision making and poor passing. Only mcginn not scared to shoot. 

2 points dropped after Elmo did more in 2 seconds than jota did in his 60 minutes, he beat his marker.

Deflated, not outraged. Just deflated we let 2 points dribble away with such poor passing.

[MadridVilla]

A decent point on the face of it, both sides were fairly evenly matched. We really need to be seizing on games like that, because for all the possession we had towards the end they never really looked like scoring bar that Grealish chance.

Still, some positives to take from the game and onto Arsenal.

Dean Smith in game management cost us.

Those last 20 minutes screamed for Hourihane

Couldn’t agree more.. we needed his creativity. We looked toothless in that second half.

[Rodders]

Haven't seen the game but we needed something from it and a point is ok. Sounds like lots of work to do. It will take a good couple of months at least for us to approach a coherent best so probably more dodgy performances to come. 

[LondonVillian]

grealish and wes were hopeless today.
