We had that exact team for Liverpool and Newcastle at home, bar Bertrand and for Newcastle swapped Bacuna for KEA. Only 2 games but we were awful in both.

I think bring your pet to work day would be more interesting.

so when he took over 1 experienced player. be surprised if rest had 100 Premier League games between them before Lambert came in When he took over he had players like Dunne, Warnock, Hutton, Bent, Ireland, whatever you think of them we paid their wages and he refused to use them.

Says a lot about where we are now when I am hoping Tonev comes on during a game because he might actually take someone on or have a shot. The rest of our attacking options are painfully poor.

You're very quick to say that people aren't Villa supporters, you've done it a lot lately. Must be nice to be so perfect. He has a point here, we have a lot of so called fans who seem to like giving abuse to our own players. Its pretty stupid really, I mean Tonev got booed by some when he came on.

I thought it was Pizza Hut?

Reads the news. Writes that. You're obviously a good person I am, very happy he won't be diving around at Villa Park in a couple of weeks when Southampton play us. If this was Suarez everyone would be calling it karma.

That last photo she could easily pass for 20-24 years old IMO.

Good, cheating little word removed could have relegated us last year with his blatant dive to win a penalty against us, he wasn't even touched.

I hope we stay up on goal difference, that has to get him sacked.

Just madness. The fans are getting more annoyed by the day. It wont be long until...

So it's a lack of money as to why Baker keeps hoofing the ball up front and out of play? Another manager would get more out of this squad/team. Glenn Hoddle wouldn't be the worst thing and although he isn't going down this path Gary Neville would be a great manager, talks so much sense. Im sure there are European managers who could do a good job, I don't know anyone because I don't pay too much attention to them leagues and to be honest I doubt anyone on the Villa board do either.

What? So we cant have players that can execute tactics? So everyone below us in the league and championship and below don't have tactics/players that can play to them? I said Lamberts tactics were poor after a lot of games, why? Because he uses the same system every game and just slaps players into where he sees fit. He uses a 4-3-2-1, with Gabby and Weimann behind Benteke for most the season, they aren't wingers and they don't help the midfield because they don't have great control or passing. We have a midfield 3 who do not compliment each other at all. Who put Albrighton in the no.10 role last week playing behind the striker? We can all see there was a huge gap between the midfield and front line, we needed a midfielder who was more attack minded, instead he went and bought a backup striker in Kozak. Tactics are a huge part of the game, along with the players you put in them and he has bought this entire team and yet he is still sticking square pegs in round holes. How do you think Jose Mourinho has won so much? The 2 CL wins with Porto and Inter were all down his man management and tactics.

Suspect at defending at times but I rate him pretty highly in the CDM role.

Well that was wrong, stonewall peno.

Id accept relegation if it is the only way to replace him and I would then renew my season ticket. If we stay up and he stays I will not. Premier League football isn't everything, we aren't going to be challenging for top 4 or the league or even Europe anytime soon. I at least want to see us try to play decent football and give it a good go, we don't. 90% of home games are awful and a chore to go to now.

Easier to list what is right with our club. Guzan, Vlaar, Delph, Benteke. A handful of promising youth players. Training ground, Stadium. Scrap the rest.

I didn't want him here and I don't want him starting games because I think we can do better. However I will admit I thought he was our best player today. Held up the ball well, made some good runs when we broke but poor balls in didn't find him. Set up Weimann well for our only other notable chance and in generally worked really hard up front to try and get the ball and got stuck in.

Not true at all. Southampton, Crystal Palace, Stoke have all improved for the better after a managerial change without adjusting their spending much. Apart from the 40m spent by Southampton. Or high profile signings in Jan by Palace, or Stoke buying in experienced players on high wages. Did you not see how much better Southampton were just from a manager change before any money was spent? Yeah they have spent a decent amount but they spent it on quality and promoted youth players. Stoke spent 6m total this season and again before Palace spent money Pulis had still started to turn them around. The manager makes a difference, saying things would be the same under a different manager is just silly.

I have had a ST for 10 year, but I just cant renew if Lambert is still here. Tactically poor, what little money we have he has pissed up the wall and spent on poor players who have done a job that our youth players could have done. We are very lucky we have had good results against the top teams, without that we would be deep in the shit. In fact how there are a handful of teams worse than us I do not know. Id like to see a league table not including top 6, we would surely be bottom. We just got beat at home to a team who are bottom of the league, they also beat us earlier in the season with ease when they hadn't won in about 9 games. This is his team and his tactics and they are not good enough.

I was tempted to go -1 Fulham, no Delph? I am doing it. Sorry but in these games we never lose 1-0 or 2-1, its usually a surprise win or we get hammered.

I still think we would be better playing him up front, has actually has pace, power and can win headers.

He is younger than Beckham but it will be around that, plus he will miss all of pre-season.

**** this, gutted for him. He still has one good leg right? Stick him on the bench he is still a better option than most.
