  1. He has to go. Hes clueless. He thinks hes playing football manager at home. Our midfield never has any shape & has no dynamism which means its bypassed far to easily. He cant set up the team to defend a lead & his only answer to conceding is to throw on strikers everywhere and hope for the best.This is something you do in the last 10 minutes not at half time like hes done a few times this season.
  2. I wish the season would end now. Watching Villa is a horrible experience. This team is nothing short of an embarrassment. Im yet to see a worse team in the final 3rd than us. We really are diabolical. Our build up play always involves going sideways, No midfielders make late runs into the box, our strikers off the ball movement is terrible & our crossing accuracy is woeful. I could go on and on. The club is in ruins on & off the pitch but its on the pitch everyone else has access to witness the car crash we have for a team and point & laugh which is the bit that truly hurts as a proud fan.

    Carles Gil

    We are so poor in the final 3rd we will never see the best of Gil. He has very limited options whenever he recieves the ball in attacking areas and ends up dribbling too much. Hes not in Coutinho/Silva class dont get me wrong, but in a more intelligent attacking team he would be very very useful.
  4. His influence in games is minimal. Occasionally threatens but definately needs to be on the bench instead of starting as we cant have passengers.
  5. We need to win games now and the fact he bottled it today worries me. 2nd half we had great momentum and were really on the front foot. We had some great opportunities that nearly all stopped with misplaced passes from a very tired Veretout. Gil /Grealish or Traore to replace him for the last 15 was crucial and the fact he was afraid to make the change that was so badly needed was not good at all...
  6. Hes not fit enough. Was absolutely out on his feet after 70 minutes. Wasted 3 great counter attacks with terrible passes in the 2nd half. Replacing him with Gil/Grealish after 70 was an absolute necessity but Garde bottled it.
  7. Garde bottled it today. We had great momentum 2nd half but the one player absolutely out on his feet was Veretout. He wasted 3 great counter attacks with woeful passes as he was done in. He absolutely needed to be replaced with Gil/Grealish on 70 minutes. Garde missing this was criminal for me.
  8. He has his weaknesses but at this time he is crucial to us. He can create and make things happen. Definately should stay in the first 11.
  9. He's lacking confidence which has to be expected until he has got used to the league. Think time on the bench will suit him. Coming on for the last 20 minutes when games are stretched.
  10. Think Gabby/Ayew/Sinclair will be alternating alot. They are all far too similar to be all starting. Gestede will lead the line and two from Gil/Grealish/Traore will start most games leaving one position for Gabby/Sinclair/Ayew to fight over. Ive said for three years now Gabby can still be an important part of the team but only from the bench coming on against tired legs. Hes too one dimensional to be starting every week.
  11. Pulis or Moyes id snap your hand off for one of them. Both would improve the team organisation and get more out of these players. Lambert continues to make the same mistakes week in week out. What other manager waits until we concede another goal before making important changes. We need a proactive manager not a reactive one.
  12. If he stays. Lerner is playing chicken with his investment as if we go down were worth about 30 quid & if lambert stays we have a very good chance of going down. Lambert is a joke. He always waits to we concede a second goal before making changes that then become pointless. The team has no movement,flow or creativity. Pass,Pass,Hoof, Chase, Repeat. Its like watching a piss poor pub team.
  13. Said for a while now. Hes not good enough regularly enough to be a starter. I think he would be best utilised from the bench for the final 20 mins of matches.
  14. Lambert should have got in experienced CB cover instead of wasting funds on Grant Holt. This was a huge mistake with Okore out all year. Baker is far too rash and clumsy to be starting in this league. He is a blood and thunder defender and he is brave to be fair to him but his timing is atrocious. Time after time this year he has gave away stupid penalty's and dangerous free kicks. The worst of it is he isnt improving his timing either as today showed.
  15. I think if we do get a new owner and a decent attack minded manager, Gabby will rightfully be relegated to the bench as his output is nowhere near good enough to be starting every game. His first touch is terrible, He isnt creative and his goals tally is poor. I think he still has a place in the squad as he would be a very useful weapon to bring off the bench fresh for 25 minutes or so but he should not be in the first 11 week after week if we are to improve.
  16. The supposed other party is megarich Larry Ellison. TBAR mentioned it earlier. Think they have got info but jumped the gun earlier trying to get the exclusive and have been back tracking abit since.
  17. It wasnt acceptable under mcleish and it isnt acceptable now. We only perform when the pressure is off and we have space in behind to counter into. Lambert cant change a game off the bench, He cant set a team up to break teams down, He only reacts after goals get conceded. Its pitiful, Aimless hoofball for 90 minutes, zero attacking threat, Zero creativity, Zero Movement. We are the worst team in the league in possession of the ball and this is down to coaching. Not good enough.
  18. Another shambolic performance from a manager who reacts far too late. Not good enough and he needs to be let go at the end of the season. Negative football, No Tactical nous, No hope
  19. Lambert is clueless. Holt was totally useless all game and Gabby wasnt much better. changes needed to be made on 65 minutes to give us more impetus We were under more and more pressure and creating no attacking threat. We have Albrighton and Weimann on the bench, Yet he only reacts once we inevitably concede. Lambert Out!!.
  20. That list is terribly depressing. Gregory has done nothing of note since he left us all those years ago. Jol doesnt have the fight for relegation scraps and likes to spend money we dont have, Nigel Clough hasnt really impressed me a great deal but he could surprise us all i guess. Graham Turner a Villa old boy stab in the dark really.
  21. I think we will be safe but only by a 3 or so points which again is totally unacceptable. I think Cardiff and Fulham are worse than us and Norwich have a run in from hell which i think will send them down. The fact we are talking like this again though is enough for me, The club needs to take a hard look at itself thats for sure.
  22. When its down to us to make the play and be on the front foot. We are useless. Our interplay is cumbersome and lazy. Our off the ball movement is non existant, and our set plays are a waste of time. All these issue are down to Paul Lambert and his team, The fact that non of these issues have improved in the last 18 months speaks volumes of the management team. We have played really well about 5/6 times out of the 20 or so games this year. This is not good enough and should not be accepted. We are a predominantly counter attacking team and we have the players which suit the method of sitting back and then playing back to front into open spance with pace, However you cannot survive in this league playing one way and one way only. Look at today, Big sam played with a deep narrow back four to cut out the space inbetween the central pairing and we were thwarted with ease. Sam's system was calling for some width to force the space. Albrighton should have been on sooner. He wasnt and we were hit with two quick firey goals because of us switching off at crucial times yet again and our continous failing of not picking up a floating player who plays between the defence and midfield. Add this to the fact Lambert failed to bring in an experienced CB when he must be well aware like we are of our over reliance on an injury prone Ron Vlaar and its not happy reading, We are not a top 8 team currently but i believe a more tactically astute manager who would have made better player purchases in January would have us comfortably in the 8-10th positions with a better platform to build on.

  24. Without Vlaar in the back line we are a defeat waiting to happen. Clark/Baker as a central pairing are terrible. The fact we never got in a centre half in January is inexcusable. Okore even if playing again shortly will not be match sharp and is not experienced in this league and with Vlaar very prone to injuries its a gamble Lambert should not have taken.
  25. Our pathetic Villa park performances should not be allowed to continue. The teams continous ability to switch off at crucial times, Our lack of running off the ball and tactical naivety is down to Lambert and his coaching team. A poor West Ham easily beat us today because Big Sam nullified our threat. Lambert cannot adapt mid match quick enough. Also add this to the catastrophe of not getting in another centre half in January, everybody else apart from Lambert can see that without Vlaar in the back line we are a defeat waiting to happen. Okore even if back playing shortly wont be match sharp for awhile and with Vlaar picking up niggles every few weeks i just hope Lamberts stupid defensive gamble doesnt cost us too much.
