Match Thread: Villa v Wesr Ham

Decent first half. We still play at too slow a pace and don't make the ball work enough. West Ham were shocking. Cannot see them being so bad second half so we definitely need to up the energy and pace the ball quicker.

Much better. Midfield looks good with Luiz in it. Helps that McGinn is having a better game. 
 

West Ham have been pretty poor, can’t see them being as bad in the second half. Get Buendia on for Phil sooner rather than later.

Why was our goal disallowed? Couldn’t tell from the Holte.

Digne cross swung out of play.

Just unlucky as it was a fantastic ball whipped in with pace that Coutinho got on the end of and then Konsa tapped in. Most of our set pieces should be like that rather than constantly floated to the back post which I can't stand.

Buendia has to come on. Buendia and Bailey for Coutinho and Ings 4-3-3, or Buendia on for McGinn and Bailey for Ings 4 2 3 1.

God if we are making a sub without injury mcginn should never stay on the pitch.

Ball from the corner went out before Couthinho got to head it.

We've not really been tested but as expected Luiz and Kamara look a solid foundation to go and play football from. It's been boring but it's progress at least. I'd think about bringing on Buendia or Ramsey for McGinn, Coutinho actually looks up for it today but he needs other players around him on his wavelength.

Have we ever tried running a 4-2-2-2, with Luiz/Kamara as the pivots, 2 of Coutinho/Emi/Bailey as AMs with license to roam wide, and Ings/Watkins up front? Problem is this requires relegating our "captain" to the bench...

The ball swung narrowly out of play before coming back in. It was tight but clearly the correct decision.
