Anyone else get the impression Paul doesn't like this kid? He says that "he still has an absolute mile to go" but with other players like Benteke he says that "he could be anything he wants to be" . I just get the feeling that Lambert is only playing these kids (him and Robinson) because he feels he's pressurised into playing them.

Sound advice

Look at Helenius in this game, he looked very good. What has happened to him?

Hmmm Do tell...

One thing that annoyed me last night, when we took Bowery off why did we keep hoofing it? Weimann/Robinson have got no chance in the air...

Two Trents disappointing me this morning, firstly I've been told that I will be disappointed with the statement, and now the water has gone off!

Completely agree, everything was looking promising until Trent through that spanner in the works.

Surely if this scenario does occur then everyone will turn on Randy in the same way we did with Doug? I hope so, the man is ruining our football club

Nightmare scenario - Lambert's comments last night when he refused to talk about improvements for next season were because he knows that Lerner is staying and is refusing to invest in players. When Lerner does issue his statement clarifying this, Lambert will walk, we will get in a manager that will have to work with the same parameters that are currently in place now. How depressing that would be

In his post match interview when asked about what needs to be improved on for next season, he doesn't answer the questions and starts talking about the chairman and the statement he is going to release in the next 6/7 days. For me, that obviously shows that Lambert is not gonna be in charge next season.

He's gonna get ya...

No

Marc injured?

Pawlowski? Yes, he was superb

Anyone remember that guy that played for Malaga in the friendly at villa park earlier in the season? Attacking midfielder, I think he was bald, or had white/blonde hair. He was quality.

Why all the good luck messages? He is going nowhere. This guy is going to power us to a top 4 finish next season

I think technically he is one of the better players at the club.

Had a good game yesterday

I absolutely love Marc

Super goal

Well played

Guys we are in for a treat today, Gabby looks up for it!

"A tackler in Delph" ?. That's probably the worst part of his game. For me, he is characterised by his surging forward runs, skipping past players like they weren't there.

June 1st 2014. We have just been taken over by a US Billionaire. Paul Lambert has been relieved of his duties and the owner has decided to make YOU manager. You have been given a transfer budget of £100m without any wage restrictions. In my opinion, we have a dozen players that we need to be building this club around: Guzan, Vlaar, Okore, Delph, Bacuna, Benteke. The rest of the squad can either be decent rotational options, good back ups, or sold. The first thing I would be ensuring is that we have a short term replacement for Benteke, perhaps a half season loan. I know we have a surplus of strikers, but with respect, I don't think Kozak or any of our other strikers for that matter have the firepower of Benteke. What would you do?

I think it's our best available line up, is it not? Did I say it wasn't? Sorry, wasn't having a dig, just thought you were implying that there is a better team available. We have 4 good players, Guzan, Vlaar, Delph and Benteke, the rest is thrash Would argue Agbonlahor would get in all bottom half teams and some top half teams.
