pacbuddies Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Some posters just reappear after months of exile when we lose..... I think you will find the 'months of exile' are actually called the 'closed season' and some of us have better things to do with our lives than read pages and pages of irrelevant garbage about takeovers and players that would never join us. Now the season has started again we can actually comment on something that is actually happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hopefully this result will make us return to the transfer market for more attacking and finishing quality. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bobzy Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 We created enough chances to win that tonight. It's hardly Lambert's fault that our 2 best strikers are injured at the same time.And the other strikers at the club are garbage but the owner is forcing him to play them because he's lost interest and doesn't want to spend any money, but yeah lambert out. we had 1 shot on target didn't we? against LEYTON ORIENT. Thats shockingly bad, it's embarassing, more than enough to call for his head 1 shot on target out of 13, I think that generally supports the fact that it was the players' finishing that let the team down, not the way they were set up really. It's annoying that there are all these backward steps when things start looking up. He isn't going anywhere and we've done well in the transfer window considering the money. We've only had 2 shots on target in our first 3 games. 30 shots, 2 on target. I don't know if it's just me, but this suggests that it's probably the players that are under performing even more so than the manager. Sure, he gets things wrong but you've got to be kidding me that professional players can only hit the target 7%~ of the time. Garbage stuff. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Sometimes I think Lambert does what the fans are asking for rather than making his own mind up. If that were the case would Nathan Baker still be at the club?! True. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: When there's a chance of optimism in pre-season or excitement about links with players, some people have "better things to do". When a defeat happens, however, the only thing they have to do is populate Villa Talk and mouth (type?) off. It's good, I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hopefully this result will make us return to the transfer market for more attacking and finishing quality. You should hope so. Without Benteke or to a lesser extent Kozak we look totally harmless. Gabby, Weimann and Bent won't get more than 10 goals between them this season.

villalad21 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Incredible how some posters are still backing Lambert. Against Newcastle we had 0 shots on target, I don't think we had many against Stoke either. Having Benteke back isn't going to magically change that. Lambert is tactically useless. Only playing around counter attack, which is a verypredictable tactic isn't getting us anywhere. I can easily see us being in another Relegation fight this year. A bad result against Hull and we are in big, big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translstion: When VT is full of nothing but speculation and the slagging off of TBAR I certainly have better things to do. When something really happens (not the fairytale world others live in) I will say something. I think you will find I am not alone in wanting Lambert out and for very good reasons.

Ginko Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Loving these posts as if we are all knee jerking from this one game. Not as if we have been diabolically shit at home for the majority of the lamberts tenure or anything, keep peddling your agenda. But where were these posts between 16th and 26th ?...I can see almost none. So it IS a reaction to the game. I can't speak for everyone else, but for me personally I don't think it's either helpful or particularly intelligent to post negative things about the manager after games where we pick up points. A lot of people are hurting after an embarrassing defeat and you can't blame them for that, but you can't honestly be sitting there and thinking that people are basing their opinions concerning sacking Lambert purely from this latest game. I wasn't impressed with the way we played during the Stoke win or the draw against Newcastle. Neither games were good enough to make me change my mind, but I'm not going to come on here and bore everyone and ruin the good vibes after picking up some points. I've wanted him gone for a while. I don't hate the guy, I'm not going to spit vitriol and it's definitely not all his doing, but he just is not a good coach and there are others who could do better. We might not improve all that much and there are other problems at the club but they don't look like they're going to be fixed in the short term. Getting a better coach in who could get us more possession and playing more creative football is something that could have more of an immediate impact.

Excitement galore from the boy wonder working on our tactics all week. Probably should've gone gung ho against both Stoke and Newcastle with our (arguably) best two strikers out injured long term. Probably would've been 6 points rather than 4 and would've hammered Leyton Orient with our top notch back up strike force. Probably not wise to play to our defensive strengths at the moment. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Personally, I understand how people feel tonight. These results are not good enough, simply not good enough - full stop. The problem is, Lerner won't sack the manager, won't give money to a new manager and certainly won't pay people off. We are stuck with an uncaring chairman and the rot has set in over the past two years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a better coach in who could get us more possession and playing more creative football is something that could have more of an immediate impact. It's a good post and I can totally understand where you are coming from but Lambert is left having to play crap like Gabby and Bent as strikers and imo people need to consider the overall situation of the club and look at what the manager has had to put up with. Since he has taken over we have being getting run like a championship team and he has had to work with and try and sign average players in the main. I have some problems with his management style also but I still think he has done a decent job with everything considered and we look a stronger squad by a long way this season. We need additions upfront but it wouldn't surprise me if Lerner doesn't put up the money. All us fans can see what is needed for the team to improve and I'm sure Lambert can also but if the owner doesn't make it happen then the manager is being hampered and can't be expected to take all the blame when things go wrong!!
