Brumstopdogs Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Firstly, under the current financial situation what do you consider possible? Secondly, no-one is sayinh that most managers would do worse than Lambert? however, in my personal view there are few realistic possibilities that could do much better given the financial situation, which is a totally different point The current financial situation (having outspent (net) 11 of the current premier league teams since he has arrived) I consider more than 11 goals scored possible.

Ha you love bringing up the net spend don't you.? If anything that just adds weight to the argument that Lambert has been up against it from day one as he hasn't had any decent outgoings that were worth over 15m to reinvest, Mcleish got to take advantage of the 20m fee we got for Downing, Houlier had the Milner and Young money to work with. Lambert has been trying to turn this club around on a pittance compared with managers of the past. Fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Anyway I am now off to Villa Park to hopefully see us finally score a goal and get a positive result. Showoff. Even if you assume the worst about Lambert's tactics and coaching (as many do), we're mostly agreed that he's pretty good at the aspects of management that we get to see: transfers and diplomatic press statements. The rest of it is nothing that a good backroom man or two can't fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like it that's all. The team he has picked today is heartbreaking. If we get a result it will be through luck rather than design. It's debilitating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 So is that a oldschool 4-4-2 with CM's as wide players or a narrow 4-1-2-1-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Seen that tweet by Dave Armitage? @davearmitage7: By the way, any Villa fans thinking PL's power on the wane, the announcement of the new Head of Media should put paid to that notion #avfc Really hope it's not James Nursey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) The lineup specially the midfield is just parking the bus at home to a poor Liverpool team!! Grealish on bench with Gil to come on together would cause some damage but he puts Richardson on there Edited January 17, 2015 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a mess regardless of what he is attempting to do. Let's hope somehow it works but I'm not expecting it to be successful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I feel this team today would have given Liverpool a fright and has goals in it. Guzan Hutton RB Cissokho LBClark CB Okore CB Delph DM Sanchez DM Grealish AT MID LEFT Bacuna AT MID RIGHT Gil AT MID Centre Benteke ST a 4-2-3-1 formation similar to Chelsea play!! there is goals in that formation and attacking threat.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
