This is embarrassing.

Is it just me, or is he not really that good anyway?

Can't understand why people remember the Bradford games. Get over it.

Yeah, get over it and look at how we've kicked on since then.

Agreed.  As I said before.  The squad is good.  His management of it - poor.

 

That's an easy thing to say, and many have said it. It may or may not be true, but saying it doesn't make it so.

 

I think the challenges have been monumental, and a different manager achieving the same results would probably have lost the plot, and the dressing room, completely by now.

 

Instead, the squad morale seems fine, the people he works for are happy with the job he's doing, and he's still picking up good deals in the transfer market.

"The people he works for are happy with the job he's doing"

As a multiple season ticket purchaser, I reckon he works for me (a bit), and I certainly ain't happy!

 

If he is indeed tactically clueless and a poor coach I guess we'll see the proof in comparison with his successor, but we aren't going to like the circumstances in which we get to find out, barring a takeover.

Better performance yesterday, especially when Gil came on. If Baker hadn't fluffed his lines I'm pretty certain we would have got something. No excuse for starting Cleverley at all, let alone at RW. We need to go back to our counter attacking game for the next two but with Gil and perhaps another we can play a bit with the ball too.

Scoreline looks bad but we'll pick up points if we play as we did second half.

I can't like this post but I certainly agree with it.

As long as it's not 0-8!

I hope we beat the absolute bollix outa these. Like 4 or 5. Gil gets a goal. Grealish gets one. Sets the team up to get out of this crap.

Dream on.

Thankfully Everton are losing as well now.

No they aren't.

Lambert cannot organize, motivate, adjust or innovate. What else is there?

How was the crowd at the end of the game?

Bored s***less I would imagine.

Just got back from the second 0-0 this week. Do I deserve this for my £600? Lambert = 13 wins from 48 (48!) league games at VP. Oh well, only another 3 years and 9 months of this garbage to endure...

Judging by lamberts comments about grealish in todays press I wouldn't hold out much hope of him starting.

Lambert is slowly but surely killing our support.

I think it will be

Guzan

Hutton Vlaar Okore Cissokho

Sanchez Cleverley Cole

Weimann Benteke Agbonlahor

Weimann will have a dreadful game, keep losing it with his first touch... Sanchez will get a red card on about 65 minutes when the pressures on... Cole will look good in flashes but not see enough of the ball... Gabby will flash it across the goalmouth but Benteke will stare at him andshout why didn't he pull it back to him on the 18 yard line... The crowd will scream for Grealish to come on, we'll see him on about 78 minutes, he will add some spark and energy, and put in the last minute cross for Benteke who will force Speroni into a great save.

0-0

Villa 1 - 2 Palace (Mark Lawrenson)

Villa 0 - 0 Palace (Steve Wilson)

If Grealish doesn't start after his performance as part of a 10 man team on Sunday, something is very wrong.

The usual anaemic rubbish.

Interesting (?) stat: Southampton completed 229 more passes than we did. WTF!?

 

Yeah but we completed 229 more Hoofs than they did!

What Lambert has done to this team rings through every single post on this forum.

See above, for example.

So, no Vlaar again? Concrete Ron? Do me a favour. Big wuss more like.

Beaten before we get on the pitch.

My son and I are season ticket holders in the North Stand, on the side nearest to the away fans, and have been for some years. Today, we aren't going. Basically, we can't ***** stand it any more. No fire, no bravery, no tactics, no clue, as it has been for 3 years now. We shelled out £600 in July in the belief that things could only get better. They haven't. Over and out.

Another 4 years of this? That can't be right, surely?

So, has he been sacked yet?
