chappy Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Managed to get on wifi in the ground which is a first and possibly the only positive of the day so far. Took 4 trains and a replacement bus to get here. Dont like calling out players mid game but Targett is having a shocker. Young is playing himself out of contention to replace him. Everything is very flat. Performance and atmosphere. Gifted them two goals really. Not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still in it, mainly because West Ham are also looking quite poor. But all we need to do is start placing the passes properly and controlling the ball and we can still get something.

I’ve heard “the defender” and “the keeper” as well as “mcgill” and “Bondia” so far If you expect anything more from Redknapp I blame you. The guy is an idiot, he’s on TV because he’s inoffensive.

He's ben brought back in whilst not being mentally at it after such a long trip. Bad management When did he come back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 This is McGinn though. Great reverse pass tos et up Buendia for the assist, but then loads of chipped shitty passes forward. He doesn't have full games of being great and then poor, just goes between the two in each match. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't understand why we decided to drop 10 yards deeper as soon as we equalised. The 1st 10 minutes were a disgrace too but there were times when we got the ball down and showed glimpses of being a decent football team again. West ham are tough to play through when we play forward passes, I ain't kidding the female pundit has got it spot on when she said we need to play side to side. We started to with pressure, score and start playing forward passes again and we go another down from playing it out the back as well. I just think there's obvious play which we aren't doing in phases and it's costing us. We put west hame under pressure or most clubs when we just take it to the opposition and don't let them breath but the moment we sit off or become to passive we let errors slip in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done my penance, VP will never change If that’s how you feel about villa fans maybe it’s time to move on . VP has great atmosphere but the players are the spark to ignite the fans . Slagging off VP fans crazy . Plenty of spare seats over the other end of 5he city , 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Dare I say as well, we lack vocal leaders and a nasty streak. Too nice too often, with a soft underbelly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 5 minutes ago, allani said: This shows quite clearly the thing that worried me most about Smith. We seem to have (long) spells under him where we get in a poor run of form and he struggles to get us out of it. Last season we had 13 matches to get 10 points. Season before we had a 13 match run yielding 8 points and then another 15 games for 9 points. Looks dangerously like we are on a similar run at the moment. Yes it has been a tough run of fixtures but we have been second best for long spells of the last 5 matches and don't seem to have any answers or learned from any of the mistakes we have made. His record at Brentford is the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he stayed in Dean's good books so he's the last man standing. I can believe this. He does give off bellend vibes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 If/when we actually play football, we create a little bit. Waiting around to be pressed in our own half, then hoofing it at our sub-6-footers vs Zouma and Ogbonna is never ever going to work. We have to get Johnson and Cresswelll isolated or pulled out of position to make anything happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chips'ngravy Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Was angered by the Young for Ramsey sub but he's actually been better than McGinn and Buendía. Which says more about them than it does him. The dropping of Mings had the air of a manager under severe pressure making a rash last chance decision. Didn't think it was at that stage but maybe it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
