I dont think Clark was shite.....if he had been shite a more realistic score of 4 or 5 nil would have been the outcome!

I just dont care anymore.....52 years a fan, home and away and this is the worst era for me. FFS, I got more pleasure when we were languishing in the 3rd Division. At least we knew then that we would always come back, and we did. I sense and fear a Leed United scenario is on the cards! If we go down it will be years until we get back IMO. Another, goaless, gutless performance has once agained ruined my Saturday evening! Lambert's post match interview will be interesting. At least we now know what influence Roy Keane had on the team...ill discipline!!

Absolutely disgusting performance. Richardson for Sanchez is the final straw. The manager does not have a clue! We are lucky not to be losing by at least 4......pathetic! The number of times that Hutton has been free down the right with no one to pass to. Lamber AND Lerner HAVE to go!

Even my arse...Leicester could well be out of site by now. Pathetic first half performance!

Gabby has got the worst ball control that I have ever seen in a professional footballer!

Charlie Aitkens first Villa game in 1959 (I believe)......Aitken a true Villa Legend. I think it was also Johny Dixon's last game for Villa. I think we played Sheffield Wednesday.....cant recall the score...can anyone help me with that? I believe it was in the old 2nd division.

Only 6 goals conceded in the last 11 games....unbeaten and not conceded in 2015....in the hat for the 4th round! Happy New Year to one and all! UTV

That was me..he took our best creative player off after 15 mins (Vlaar)... The mans a genius

If Grealish tried.....he's guaranteed not to start the next game either!!

Whats training?

The rules say that shin pads are compulsory....so yes he does wear them!

I think there's plenty in favour of this new approach. It does require a bit of creativity in the team and curses that Joe Cole is injured (but hardly surprising); I much prefer the frustration of not being able to score over letting the opposition have the ball and inviting them to try and score. Lambert took a pretty big gamble in the 67th minute making an attacking change bringing in Grealish for Cleverley and I'm glad it didn't backfire. Benteke was quite disappointing today but I guess this is the problem when the ref allows the opposition defenders to use him as a mannequin to drape their shirts on. Agree with most of that but dont think bringing Grealish on was a gamble. It was a very sensible sub IMO. We needed someone who could hold the ball up and show composure. Its easy just to hoof the ball away when you have only 10 men and your tired. Grealish worried the shit out of the Sunderland players and kept it in their final 3rd with his composure..... More of the same from Jack please!

Cant defend the Delph tackle.....over the top with studs showing = no brainer!

Sanchez outstanding. Great purchase by Lambert. To be fair whenever Lambert as payed over the 4 million mark for a player, he's got it right! Weimann was shocking today, especially in the final third. He needs a rest. How many more times do we have to say that Grealish MUST start? Awful tackle by Delph. Red card was the correct decision IMO. Grealish and Bacuna must start against Palace!

Oh no he isnt!!

Oh no he isnt!! he's on the bench, have you not seen the starting line up and sub bench for today's game? He was also on the bench against Man Utd so why are you saying he isn't on the bench? Bench: Given, Lowton, Okore, Bacuna, Herd, Robinson, Grealish Thats why I said he is NOT on the bench! BBC: Substitutes 05 Okore07 Bacuna17 Herd31 Given37 Robinson39 Calder40 Grealish Well, I prefer to believe the OS

Grealish should be in and Vlaar should be out!

If you make your own luck then why has no one come up with the recipe?

Well played lads. One of the worst red card decisions ever. 50/50 ball IMO. Blackett tackle on Lowton 5 mins later was far, far worse. Red card should be rescineded! Okore outstanding again. Well done lads!

I am sorry but what has Grealish done so far? Very little. He is a kid with promise but chucking him in a derby game wouldn't have helped matters. Today was a disappointing result on a back of a decent run. Let's take a chill pill and see where we are in a few weeks time. Swansea, Palace, Sunderland and of course United (!) are games we should pick up some points in. Grealish has done nothing....yes, true, but he wont ever do anything if he is not selected. He has a very cool head on his shoulder...I suggest you check his disciplinary record. The kid is composed (I've watched him about 20 times).

Poor team selection for me. Local derbies need a cool composed head in the midfield. Grealish would have been my choice as he his composed. Terrible hot headed decision by Richardson, CNZ offered absolutely nothing (again). Man of the match for me was Okore. This lad shows good promise. Sanchez also played well IMO. Not too disheartened given that we only had 10 men for the vast majority of the game. Really pissed that Grealish doesnt get a start. Delph for Cleverley and Grealish for CNZ next week.

Grealish should have started today IMO. A local derby needs a cool composed head...Grealish would have provided that IMO.

PR Spin at its worst. Like it or not we are still in a scrap for PL survival. The 'grand Fox plan' wont get off the ground if we lose our PL status. Mr Fox, show us that this NOT BS by investing in January. Typical club PR IMO.....talk alot, yet say nothing!
