Hmmmm Rashford. Credit for everything except the finish.

Amazing how games change after a moment changes the confidence in players

Always said Martial was a better finisher. Sorry, but that’s a shocking miss. If only we’d still had a striker on the pitch.

(P.S This is a lame attempt at reverse psychology to ensure Rashford now scores a worldy).
 
Was a very back and forth game. Villa not clinical in their passing at all.

First half all West Ham, second half more villa.

Not a bad result for either side, never easy playing Thursday - Sunday!
Literally games of 2 halves , we had the beating of you in the 1st half, our high press being particularly effective. You mullered us in the 2nd half, don’t know if we run out of gas or Moyse told the players to sit deeper…it happens.

Thought the ref was poor, bottled sending off your big lump (22?)for a second bookable, then booked Alvarez when he was the player being fouled!

Had the added entertainment of watching Emery’s antics..all game he was jumping around like a demented Chimpanzee! Highly amusing.😄

Weird to have 3 goals ruled out. At least some chances were created

Phillips is really going to have to up his game he will be starting 3 out of the next 4 providing he doesn't get sent off

I’ve not seen the final hand ball so can’t really comment but it must have been tight if VAR couldn’t come to a decision after 5 minutes of scrutiny so put it back on the Ref.

Re Phillips, I thought DM might have given him 20 minutes too but went with Ward-Prowse 🤷

Comes down to trust tho I guess

A point today is huge imo. Going into today if you had offered me a point against one of the best teams in the league this year? Yes please

So at the end you can respect why he didn't

I reckon he will start the next one. I don't see JWP and soucek holding

We had a preview of the Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Phillips spine against Burnley… We are going to be in trouble! 😳

Good point today, would have took that at the start of the game… but you know how it goes, once you are one up anything less than a win is disappointing. 😁
