foreveryoung Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 As a Lambert player your number one priority has to be defending. This is why as has been said no one runs on forward. They make the pass then shift back into a defensive position, This is something that has been coached into the players, With us I have noticed you will never see more than 2 players in the oppositions box awaiting a cross. I see with other teams half the squad wating for the cross in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Who needs goals anyway? We got a "big point" against Sunderland without scoring any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Apparently we have the second worst scoring ratio in Europe. I don't want second best. Come on Lambert, I thought you were totally useless, how can you let Hamburg out do you! Edited December 30, 2014 by pacbuddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think we look less like scoring now, then when Guzan used to boot the ball down the pitch - sad but true. Im certainly not paying £750 a year to watch the ball being passed sideways at walking pace - has someone told Lambert this is a good idea ? rome wasnt built in a day. We have only started play that way in about last 6 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleAthon Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I just can't see what's so difficult about telling the players to move more and to offer more passing opportunities to the rest of the team. We have got to be the most inflexible and static team I've ever seen. Yes it's improving, but it really, really shouldn't have taken this long to work out the problems. That and a total lack of creativity in the side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I keep repeating this! Anyone else watched our defending at corners? We have everybody behind the ball and nobody up the pitch and as far as my limited football brain understands "the more you behind the more they forward and vice versa!

No one seems to be able to come in and sort out one of the most basic of footballing concepts. Liverpool were singing about it in the mid 90s for crying out loud.

Zatman Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think its a cultural thing though, need to be trained to pass and move from a young age. Not just Villa its rare to see many British trained players do this same with national team not just England but Ireland and some Scandinavian teams as well, not all the players but a lot of them dont move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Agreed, but you'd think that it would have crept into the British footballing philosophy by now. It's very basic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post briny_ear Posted December 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's OK, guys, the goals are going to start flowing soon! According to The Dear Leader... http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4391816,00.html Lambert on goals: My lions will start showing their claws Paul Lambert on goalscoring. 30th Dec 2014 Paul Lambert believes Villa's lions will soon start showing their claws in front of goal. Villa have struggled to score freely so far this season. But boss Lambert is not perturbed. Lambert sees plenty of chances being created and thinks his team will roar very soon. He said: "I'm happy with the way we're playing. We look good and it's not through lack of chances. We've just got to put the ball in the net. "We've got goalscorers in the team. So I don't have a problem as I know that'll come with them. So there are no issues with that. If we keep creating chances we'll score. "We had 14 attempts against Sunderland - and we played almost an entire half with 10 men. We had more than Swansea the other day too. So that's the trick, just keep playing the way we are at the mo. Oh, and we actually had 14 SHOTS against Sunderland, but sadly 11 were OFF TARGET. If you want to see these goals in full detail when they start to arrive, I recommend purchase of a pair of these from the Villa shop: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 What's with the obsession with shots on target and shots off target? There are plenty of shots off target that can be closer to being a goal than a shot on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
