Villatillidie95 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I'm still sticking with the 2-1 predicted win for us i made in the pre match thread, think halftime came at the wrong time for us there but if we can come out of the blocks and feed ollie some more decent chances then we will leave London with the 3 points Edited March 12, 2023 by Villatillidie95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're creating some of the best build up play under Emery so far because West Ham aren't pressing us high up the pitch. They're preferring to double up on the passing lanes, but our movement is ripping them apart at times. Moreno is fantastic going forward and we look like we're going to score every time he gets on the ball in the final third. We could have easily scored 3 more goals on another day. That said, West Ham's team is set up to soak up pressure and counter with Benrahma & Bowen's pace. Going to be another stressful half, but I think we can pull out a win here with an early goal in the second half. I think we are doing OK, just need to swap Bailey for 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 It would surely be impossible for Duran to do less than Bailey? And at least if he does the same, he's picking up experience in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 The commentary team on my channel sound like a pair of West Ham fans, not sure who the co-comm is but he’s willing them into space constantly and gives no credit to anything Villa do. The landan word removed bias is real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Our play in the opposition half has been really good. The slow build-up play is really frustrating, but how we now play - just have to get used to it I guess. Just worry we have another mistake in us.

PieFacE Posted March 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thought we played quite well. Watkins should probably have a couple. They haven't created much and the penalty was a bit of a farce imo. Just need to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen is just a good player. Moreno might be beaten once or twice but he's doing well enough I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupid by Bailey yes, but it's so obviously, cynically abused by Paqueta and it's there for all of us to see. Can we not have some sense of rationality in these decisions? Lol, I'm just really bothered with how soft and stupid that pen was when we have VAR as well. Agreed, I think the enforcement of fouls in the box just encourage this behaviour, there's absolutely no way that he goes down if that "tug" is in the middle of the pitch The enforcement needs changing, it's a joke, but in the context of PL refereeing in 23, Bailey is **** stupid to do what he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 we seem to be very short on physicalty ( without fouling) at set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey is entitled to try and stop him. Nothing Bailey does inhibits Paqueta from moving - he just hits the deck. It should have never been given. He doesn’t fall over anywhere else on the pitch - so why is suddenly a foul now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever he's not got a clearly defined defensive role he instantly decides he needs to stand next to our striker and Mark himself out of the game. There might be something in that, I'd still like us to put an extra body in midfield, whether that be Young directly or by moving McGinn - I'd like us a bit more solid How about Carlos on for Bailey and free up Cash to join Moreno on attacking duties?

Disgrace . https://ibb.co/C2NC2cg But Bailey shouldn't have given him the opportunity to dive. Everyone knows an attacker will crumble like a pack of cards with the slightest contact. Bailey knows full well he's been dumb by putting his hands in the air afterwards. Yes it's a dive and yes it should have been overturned bjt any contact and they're generally given and once given never overturned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
