Mantis Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Obviously anything can happen in the following games, but I think a 2-1 defeat albeit with a good performance is much better than a dreadful 3-0 defeat. Some people on here were speaking about how they wanted to see us get tonked because it would supposedly hasten the departure of Lambert but hopefully the players have been able to get some confidence back after that. Still would like to see Lambert go in the summer mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Of course its an improvement We just got no points to show for it What matters is we play like that against Hull and the weaker sides in the division so we can push onto safety Time and time again under Lambert's tenure i have seen us play well in one game and look useless in the next game consistency is everything we really need 3 points against Hull i'm bricking it at the thought of a loss/draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2944099/Jose-Mourinho-great-manager-wouldn-t-want-learn-field-antics-blasts-Paul-Lambert.html#comments Jose Mourinho won for the first time at Villa Park after five previous visits without a victory, while the home side ended the fourth-longest goal drought in Premier League history. But it seems some things never change. The Mourinho camp was accused of being verbally abusive by Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert following a bad tempered exchange between the two dugouts in the first half of this thrusting encounter. Lambert threw his overcoat to the ground after someone on the opposite bench made a remark towards him midway through the half. ‘It was something said but not by Jose,’ said Lambert. ‘He is a great manager, it is fantastic what the guy has done, I would love to learn from him as football manager but I wouldn’t like to learn things off the pitch from somebody in his dugout. I don’t know what was said - I don’t speak Portuguese, maybe he doesn’t speak Glaswegian.’ Lambert also accused Mourinho of trying to ‘put pressure’ on him by calling the Villa squad, who are without a win at home in the league since early December, one of the best in the top tier. ‘I analyse teams by the quality of players and Villa have one of the best squads, very good players and a very good bench, lots of solutions.’ He even praised the home fans. ‘Maybe he is trying to put pressure on me, I don’t know,’ swiped Lambert, who also noted Mourinho was already ‘halfway down the pitch’ when he went to shake his hand at the end of the game. Some animosity perhaps remains between the pair after Lambert refused to shake Mourinho’s hand when he attempted to leave the pitch before the final whistle when the sides met at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season, a game won 3-0 by Chelsea. After a frosty encounter with journalists earlier in the week, Mourinho was notably subdued throughout the match, rarely straying from the dugout, except to celebrate Eden Hazard’s opening goal and Branislav Ivanovic’s superb winner. But at the final whistle, the Portuguese marched towards the travelling supporters in the Doug Ellis Stand and asked them for more applause. On the day main rivals Manchester City drew with Hull, did he sense this was the day Chelsea, who extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points, ran away with the title? Apparently not. ‘In another country I would say fantastic,’ said Mourinho, ‘in this country I would say it is difficult, every game is difficult. We still have 14 games left and 42 points to play for. I think it’s nothing. I am surprised with nothing. Somebody told me city’s result after the game but it doesn’t matter. When you are top of the league you don’t need other teams to lose points.’ Lambert was optimistic despite a fourth straight defeat and said a major psychological weight had been lifted by Jores Okore headed goal in the 48th minute, which ended a barren spell in the top flight of 660 minutes. The assist came from Carles Gil, who on early impressions looks good value for the £3.25million paid to Valencia for him. The Spaniard beat Oscar down the right flank and whipped an arching ball into the box for Okore to pounce on. ‘Getting a goal is a big moment for us,’ said Lambert, ‘If we get into a run of games where we play like that hopefully we can pick up a lot of points. It’s not just about getting 17th we want to get up as high as we can. I just told the players that in the dressing room. We were up against team who will be close to winning the Champions League so it was a good performance for us.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A penny for the thoughts of Grealish and Robinson . Grealish has had his chance and has been poor. He's not ready yet. It's a hell of a leap to assume Robinson would have had the same impact as one of the best young players in the league this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm sure most won't agree bit Vlaar or Sendoros ever returns I'll think we'll be fine. It's that one moment of lack of organisation costing us cheap goals every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure . harry kane is a poor comparison though, hes older, spent more time out on loan than robinson has, and at a higher level than robinson has, kane also wasnt a starter and the start of the season, he was their europa league reserve striker, he started scoring goals in that and then started making sub appearances, i might be wrong here but i think his goal vs us in early november was his 1st prem goal of the season, he become a regular starter in the league soon after dont make out that spurs are this great club that gave a youngster a chance and are now reaping the rewards, they signed 2 £25m strikers who are shit and ended having to play kane due to pressure from the crowd and his form in the cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 if only there was someone who did know, like someone who watched him in training every day for a month and decided he wasnt ready... but instead we'll watch preston highlight videos and decide that he could have been if only lambert had given him a chance theres plenty of sticks to beat lambert with, robinson isnt one of them, especially seeing as he's bought in sinclair to take up the role that robinson would have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2015 I think Lambert needs to be a bit braver in the "winnable" games for the remainder of the season. The midfield 3 of either Delph, Westwood, Cleverley or Sanchez needs to be broken up and changed to a 2. Sanchez and Westwood would be my two but I can't see Lambert leaving out Delph. Needs to go ----Delph - Sanchez -- Sinclair - Gil - Weimann Gabby* * Or Benteke if he decides he wants to play football again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
