Ratings & Reactions: Villa v West Ham

[icouldtelltheworld]

Never got going tonight and got exactly what we deserved out of the game.

Far too many passengers, but Mings had a good game and I thought Watkins was clear man of the match, great that he's continued his scoring run. Don't think we're in a slump, I'm sure we'll bounce back.

Credit to West Ham, they came with a plan and executed it very well. That's the quietest any team has kept Jack all season. Moyes has done a great job there this year and they deserve to be where they are in the league, the arrogance from some of our fans before the game was unwarranted.

Comfortably the worst performance of the season. Absolutely embarrassing having a shit player like Lingard score not one but two goals against us.

I don't think Lingard is an embarrassingly shit player. He's not good enough for Man Utd, but he lasted for as long as he did there because he isn't far away. And he played with a determination and a vision that we simply didn't match.

We were poor from the off, struggled to unlock the Defense from the start.

West Ham deserved winners.

[Herman22]

Played into West Hams hands this evening. 

They are a big awkward physical side and we let them play that sort of game. 

Really disappointing. 

[StefanAVFC]

Bullied, pure and simple.

Martinez throws 2 into the net, Barkley... what's the point?

[ozvillafan]

It's not easy making Lingaard look good....

... but we managed to do it.

[flashingqwerty]

The culmination of a manager who has no clue how to manage and rotate his squad.

Same again against Arsenal i expect and a similar bad performance and result

[MaVilla]

shock horror El Ghazi is rubbish.....!, why on earth we start the guy is beyond me.

Traore needs ot start RW next game, for me Sanson needs to come in for Barkley, Barkley just doesnt work hard enough, too much of a show pony for me.

[Lord Willard]

Lack of rotation and subs is really starting to hurt us. Don't @ me when you say Man City have made the least subs! THEY ROTATE The TEAM BEFORE THE GAME STARTS!

Moyes masterclass

Took grealish out of the game, coufal was superb

Moved between our lines and Lingard in particular had an incredible amount of space 

We were terrible, no one better than a 6, midfield 3 is horrible right now 

El Ghazi was terrible, that wasn't a fitness issue 

[UpTheVilla26]

Lingard celebrating like he's just won FUT Champs and smashed his best mates mum in a New York Hotel room. 

Get ****. 

[Vive_La_Villa]

They were the better team today. Stronger, sharper and just all round better. Very disappointing. Lingard bossed the f**king game.  A bit disappointed with Smith tonight for not moving Jack sooner. It was clear he was not going to get anyway on the left.

As bad as anything from last season. Only Watkins played well, everyone else below their best.

It was Watkins poor touch that led to two of their goals.

[nepal_villan]

We are gassed. Think we will be average until the end of the season. Hoping for a top half finish.

[DJ_Villain]

Simply outclassed by West Ham

It was painful to type that...

[the_eristic]

subs

[Rodders]

West ham battered us and outclassed in every area on and off the field. 

Awful from villa.

Dear Dean **** learn. You've mostly been great but make changes. You have a squad. Use it for **** sake. If I see the same eleven or even 9 or 10 on Saturday I will scream.

 

Barkley can **** off back to Chelsea

[It's Your Round]

I’m not too pissed off because we’ve had a good season overall, but we need to get some form back soon. I can’t see Arsenal bullying us like they did tonight, we should have more space to play. I’m just concerned with how off it we’ve been. Another game in three days won’t give them much rest.

The passing triangles have to be done with pace and conviction...the triangles are a means to an end not an end in itself.

He’s had trouble off the field in his family life. A move could recreate the form that got him regularly into the England team.
