I think he sets the team up poorly not positvely,
How on earth can you say that he is a top class manager is crazy, Tactics, Width, 3-5-2, Bowery over Bent ect-ect are just a few to mention that has cost us points and more than likely our place in the premier league,
Also you claim he has good man management skills, Yet the treatment of Hutton, warnock, ireland, bent ect-ect?
What seasons have i missed for your claim to lambert being a top class manager?
Seriously I dont know where you sit at villa park mate, I can only think you have a restricted view?
