A missed chance to equal history<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After their opening day shalking by champions Manchester City it was hard to see West Ham potentially finishing the fifth matchday level on points with their more illustrious tormentor and sitting inside the top three. But this was the case going into this evening&#8217;s game. A win at Villa Park would have seen Manuel Pellegrini, celebrating his 66th birthday, equal the club&#8217;s best ever Premier League start after five matches.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We hold on to earn a point!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AVLWHU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AVLWHU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COYI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#COYI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xQGCkk57Ce\">pic.twitter.com\/xQGCkk57Ce<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; West Ham United (@WestHam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WestHam\/status\/1173700739199320067?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And that came in 2005\/06 when Alan Pardew collected 10 points from 15 available scoring 10 times and conceding just four goals. Fast-forward 14 years later the Hammers can be disappointed but not discouraged: eight points after five played is not a bad early return especially when they were not high on many people&#8217;s list going into this campaign.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Mings-El Ghazi squabble illustrates contrasting approaches<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just over ten minutes before half-time came a moment no one could have envisaged before kick-off. West Ham had won a corner which displeased Villa centre-back Tyrone Mings, whose cut from the same cloth as assistant manager John Terry, that is he wears his heart on his sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>He made his feelings known to winger Anwar El Ghazi, whom Mings deemed to not have tracked back and cover, though the former Ajax man gave as good as he got with both touching heads much to the displeasure of Terry on the bench. If anything this was a display of two worlds.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Team-mates coming head-to-head&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>?

El Ghazi was seldom known for his defending which he got away with as Ajax dominated the vast majority of games they played.<\/p>\n<p>Villa, though, couldn&#8217;t be any more different. The cut and thrust nature of Premier League football means those outside the &#8216;big six&#8217; cannot rest on their laurels and that everyone must pull their weight hence Mings anger. Nonchalance may be accepted in the Dutch capital but not in England&#8217;s second city.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3.

The 26-year-old Argentina attacking midfielder is essentially West Ham&#8217;s beating heart. He&#8217;s show why across their opening four league fixtures this season and once more tonight. Playing in the zone behind centre-forward S\u00e9bastien Haller he&#8217;d complete 90% of his attempted passes (57\/63), most by anyone on the field, as well as creating one chance.<\/p>\n<p>That single chance created if anything consolidated his position in the league&#8217;s creative chart. Lanzini has now produced 15 goalscoring opportunities leaving him only behind Kevin De Bruyne (19) and Trent Alexander-Arnold in that regard though he trails De Bruyne by four assists in the race to be crowned as this season&#8217;s &#8216;assist king&#8217;.

Half of those efforts came in a previous home win over Everton and many felt it would be another game where their attack would shine especially when you consider how slack West Ham have been at the back.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">20: ? 0-0 \u2692<\/p>\n<p>Best chance of the game falls to Wesley, who can&#39;t quite guide Grealish&#39;s whipped-in ball home.

Famine continues<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As frustrating the game was for the home side it wasn&#8217;t any better for West Ham who couldn&#8217;t dominate large swathes of the game.
