  1. Gabby 2 Norwich 0 Grant Holt is such a cheating f*ck
  2. sounds bollocks, it wasn't even in the print version of the Metro and no Arsenal fans have come gloating at my door and i know plenty of them
  3. I think a lot of our defensive issues is down to confidence, regardless of age these players were all playing together for the first time and regulalry in this league for the first time in a team that was largely new to one another with an experimental midfield and strike force - regardless of the fact Gabby is an old head. When you have that many followers and no leaders - mistakes really hit hard, and no player has been allowed to hide. In many ways we can all see the ability and potential in Lowton and Bennett, but if we stay up and Dunne leaves or retires then we still need another experienced central defender, plus if Lichaj isn't going to be used then we may as well let him go and get another defender that Lambert rates enough to play. If we stay up i will literally cry if Lerner doesn't give Lambert the chance to strengthen further, as i don't care how good anyone thinks these group of players is or could be, we will still struggle if we don't strengthen.
  4. I was really impressed by Sylla and Bennett today
  5. all that was missing was the clean sheet. Guzan 8 Lowton 9 Baker 7 Vlaar 8 Bennett 8 Westwood 7 Delph 7 Sylla 8 Weimann 7 Gabby 8 Benteke 10
  6. you wouldn't think we were the home team the way sky sports are noshing Sunderland off
  7. we presumed Sylla was brought in as a defensive CM yet the last time he played he replaced Zog as a wide attacking midfielder. Lambert just hasn't got a clue how to protect the defence, he encourages the whole team to rush forward at which point we often play a poor final pass or cross and are then left horribly exposed. Collins may have been a donkey but he does the basics well, none of our defence does that, also what is the bet Cuellar scores a header? Bennett's injury may turn out to be a blessing as vs Sunderland he would be targetted as a weakness - and i respect he has done better of late but her was horridly exposed vs Manure. I am not a huge Bannan fan but part of me now thinks he would be a more stabilising option than Zog, but it looks like KEA is back in favour and no idea hpw that will pan out.
  8. It is difficult to work out whether the need to sell and bring the wages down hurt the club more than the signings made and the tactics played and not all are without considerable merit. Everyone can see what Lambert is trying to do and the glimmers of hope for the future, but you can't build a castle on a swamp. The horrid truth is tactically he has learnt nothing, we are still getting our arse handed to us when we play a team even half decent, all we have managed to do is through a excruciatingly painful process of trial and error - compete with the teams in the lower half. He is the first manager at this club I have ever seen who does nothing to change tactics when playing the top teams and that level of dillusional arrogance troubles me, ok vs Liverpool we had a good but lucky result but you'd think he'd crave a nil nil draw considering our goal difference and perilous league position. It feels like he thinks he is the manager of Roy of the Rovers or some fictional team in a film. I love Villa and I love this club but part of me feels that even if we stay up next season - Lerner won't back Lambert enough to bring in the experience we are crying out for and we will continue to struggle. It doesn't feel like we have any ambition anymore, Lerner just wants this Utopian and idyllic football model where we buy incredibly cheap foreign and lower league players and turn those players into bravehearts.............. who knows it might work, but i don't know if we will be in the Premiership to see it happen. I hope i am wrong, i am just pretty jaded from being the laughing stock amongst all my friends for a third season.
  9. Were you saying the same thing when we went there last season and lost 4-0 with 1 shot on target? I hated the way we played under McCleish, but the dour goaless draws towards the end of the season kept us in this division and at this stage that is all that matters, playing spineless attacking football like headless chickens will be why we get relegated.
  10. i would genuinely rather we parked the bus for 90 mins than this gung ho 'waaahaaay lets ave a go lads' shit that never ever **** works
  11. The one thing that has worried me in recent weeks is our total lack of composure in the final third, so many awful passes, crosses and rushed attempts at goal. Its one thing having a utterly clueless defence but if we don't start burying chances then we are as good as down.
  12. we've had some good chances to score but luck is completely against us
  13. Twice by Utd? ok the first time not so much but i'm including this one........
  14. Lambert must like getting **** as he's learnt nothing after drubbings by chelsea, spurs, city and now twice by united.
  15. we've been making Utd like amazing for years so it's hardly anything new then again for all it's potential and youth this is the worse defence i've ever seen. our final ball is also pure comedy. nice foul by that f uck wand evra
  16. I've never seen Lambert try and park the bus and play ugly, his tactics are the same game in game out - counter at speed score a few and then hope the comedy goal we concede doesn't mean we lose.
  17. it's infuriating but he's been frozen out by more than one manager, he must have had some kind of a row with Lambert. It feels like he has been made the fall guy for something and it's hard to fathom why. We badly miss creativity in midfield and playing four strikers doesn't ever seem to work for 90 mins. But Lambert won't play a 442 as he has no faith in the players we have, yes we play well but never for an entire game. It does feel like we are running some players into the ground considering how many players now rarely get a look in Holman, Ireland, Bent, KEA, Dawkins, Bannan, Lichaj, Given That is a lot of players who barely figure - not saying they necessarily deserve to start but there will be a big clear out in the summer even if we stay up.
  18. I like Bowery and want to see more of him but I would play Nzogbia over him every time even if we only get 60-70 mins out of him.
  19. The decision to sub Zog was **** terrible, unless he was injured. Zog came in and was our best attacking threat by far - he should be starting instead of Bowery if fit - Bowery did ok yesterday but shouldn't start week in week out.
  20. i hope this game doesn't come back to haunt us!
  21. It is gauling, Baker, Westwood and Delph have been brilliant at times yet three own goals!
