hippo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Midfield doesn't look quite at it to me - sure we quickly pounce on errors and loose balls - but actually stretching West Ham we only seem to do by long balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 They are so dour and negative you’d think we were Barcelona. Good first half ultimately, very evident we have a lot more character than last year; we’d have been dead and buried after that header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Solid, look uncertain in defence , almost pre lockdown. Midfield growing into it.cash needs to push on more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 "McGinn's been brilliant! Crisp passing... solid tackling... brilliant." Matt Upson Does anyone mind if I check elsewhere before going by the player ratings here!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Need to ensure we are off the blocks in the second half. Get settled ASAP and get moving the ball a little quicker than we have. that said, we’ve had the better chances and better of the first half. Give. It. Grealish.

El Zen Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Very good after a dreadful first 10 minutes. We should be beating them, and I’m confident we will be. We do miss Ross, though. He adds so much physicality and penetration (yeh, go on!) to our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Cant see west ham being that poor 2nd half so we will have a game 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted November 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2020 Shocking how bad we are at defending set plays. Time and again we put our smallest players against our opponents tallest. Targett versus Ogbonna is a complete mismatch and that comes down to poor, or naieve, coaching. Though on balance we should probably be ahead, so lets hope the games continues in our favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Quick thoughts: Poor 5-10 minutes. Mings is pedestratian when not under pressure. I thought free kicks would be important and proving so. Connor is unlucky, just need to be mindful of not being overloaded in the midfield. I counted maybe 10 fouls or more? A lack of yellows is a joke. Ref is giving Jack no protection. Don't care about deflections, that was a thunderous strike. We are playing much better. Could easily be 3-1.

villa4europe Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Disagree with the "should have scored" comments about watkins It was a chance, a decent one, but that's hard to wrap your foot around in that close proximity to your body, just needed a bit of luck to see it creep in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 15 mins of utter rubbish, 30 mins of dominance. A microcosm of our season thus far? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know Targett is out weak link... defensively yes, but they shouldn't ignore him while in their half as he's got a good cross and link up play with Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
