Our biggest problem is the midfield and that's what the manager next year needs to address whether its lambert or not.
A midfield three of delph , al ahmadi and westwood is never going to score goals consistently.
We will be lucky to get 10 goals a season between them and I guess that's about what we have this year? Also add in the fact that they aren't prolific assisters either and that's the main problem with our team. The midfield is the most critical part of the team and ours is quite simply not good enough.
Its no coincidence that our best years under o' neill were with a midfield of petrov , downing, barry, milner and young, that was a bloody good midfield and we need to get back to something like that if we have any chance of achieving anything in the coming seasons. Counter attack football does have a place in premier league football but it can't be your whole philosophy, we'll never get anywhere with 30% possession football so for me Lambert needs to find another team that is happy with midtable mediocrity because frankly I've seen enough of it at Villa over the last 15 years.
