No real complaints at half time. We been second best to everything until the goal and then came into it more.

Not good enough but that's no disrespect to villa they been very good

My only complaint is we will continue in this vein until it's realised Antonio is 33. Any danger he has left is best in short spells (that's being kind) play kudus up front. He would be stretching this defence and making it a more open game
 
Sorry but whilst the pen is a clear foul if they don't pull it back for a clear shirt pull when paquata is playing that stupid pass then games ridiculous..
 
Overall I'm trying to work out if West Ham are poor, or if Villa are good!

Villa are playing excellent however we also don't seem to be getting going. I think just villa now allowing us to get our game plan together

Still don't get how you can pull someone's shirt and var not rule it out . It's in the laws . But there u go
 
Yes, but it depends on which Club you are😜🤫

Don't worry I won't be demanding a replay 😜

That zinelo going down holding head. Disagree with carragher about play on, because the ref doesn't know

However var should review it . Then send a few players off for faking head injuries .. that will stamp it out within a month

What a finish from Watkins aswell, fantastic player. Gutted we didn't go for him when he was available.

Shirt pulling dosnt seem to be a foul anymore!

Refs choosing to ignore it.

Didn't matter in the end , villa were excellent

Can't help but feel if at half time we show a bit of guts and take Antonio off for kudus .. we actually could have come away with something ..

There was a time after Bowen's goal where we were looking likely for a second but antonio isn't an output anymore

However Watkins. What a player. That goal was special and timing was everything as it stopped all hope of coming back into the game
 
Nor does time wasting. They might still add it on at end to be fair, but not noticed the frequency of yellow cards we were seeing in 1st few weeks of season, and I'm not sure it's because players have stopped time wasting.

Just further examples of our poor officials in the "best" league in the world. They let it down tbh

Last time out against Newcastle emerson correctly booked for waving an imaginary card ..

When almaron did the same later on.. nothing

It's laughable how bad they officials truly are

Yes but shirt pulling is a very obvious foul everyone can see it.

Then there is a shocking VAR call and the likes of Mike Dean telling us what the laws of the game are!

Then refs just ignoring them especially in the run up to a goal.
 
Conspicuous by your absence earlier!😄

I was busy enjoying the game in the stands (awful signal at VP) and having a few too many bevs 😂
How many did you sign in summer? Just because chalk and cheese from the Gerrard rubbish he served up.
Cracking to watch if a bit painful

Signed (I think)

Zaniolo
Diaby
Tilemans
Torres
Lenglet

We’re pretty good 😂 so good it’s hard to believe as a fan if I’m honest!

On Zaniolo and his head knock. Just make it like rugby…all head knocks the player has to go off for a ten minute concussion check…a temp replacement comes on. But he returns after ten if all ok. Managers, rest of team and supporters aren’t going to like that sort of disruption.
