TRO Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I hear all the arguments for and against...time being the major island of hope. right now I'm watching low grade football at home with even the basics in short supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoridge91 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just read the last few pages... You guys know we're 11th now right? I agree we've had a few poor performances where we've lacked creativity but our current squad is very much a work in progress. Relax, Rome wasn't built in a day. We're 11th place and actually feel disappointed by that, a vast improvement from last season. I'm happy with where we are and I hopefully we'll keep pushing on, get the returning guys fully fit and back to full sharpness again and hopefully push on further up the table for a comfortable top half finish.

Rovers13 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I just got really disappointed Lerner didn't keep the Browns. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think their current coach looks just like Lambert, and it would be odd too see them if they ever met during a Villa tour or something (obviously won't happen now). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I would think sacking him now to be a complete, unmitigated disaster. He makes errors, like every human being I've ever met. But he is moving us in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree entirely - he's a good manager going through a bit of a rough patch performance-wise; not like we're losing much though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P3te Posted December 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've missed a few pages of this thread, but are people SERIOUSLY suggesting sacking the guy?! Has the last 4 years taught you fcuking nothing? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Who here wants him sacked? Be honest I'm 100% behind the manager. Sacking him would see us relegated. Edited December 2, 2013 by dodgyknees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Who could realistically replace Lambert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 "We're shit. We aren't progressing. Sack the manager New manager, progress back to square one *new manager gets a year* "We're shit. We aren't progressing. Sack the manager" New manager. Progress back to square one *repeat* See the issue here? Give Lambert until the end of next season, barring disaster, then see if a new man is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) After a very tricky opening set of fixtures, we managed to get a fabulous home point against Sunderland who have a new manager and are destined for much better than their false league position currently shows. We're 11th now following on from the despair of last season's challenges which represents such a massive improvement in the direction that our own club is going. Why were some people booing at the end of the game on Saturday? Some people seriously thought we would walk all over the Mackems considering their current position and on the bizarre result from last season. We played some excellent football and got our just rewards in a very hard fought point indeed. Well done boys. Hopefully the manager gave you the day off yesterday. I couldn't fault the effort and I thought the lads, especially Albrighton on his timely return from loan was excellent. Man of the match for me was Guzan - fantastic save at close range, tipping the ball onto the bar and away for to relative safety. Apart from Okore, I think all of our key injury worries are now out of the way and I am looking forward to stomping all over Southampton on Tuesday night. It's a nailed on Villa win with our previous hard fought results, and the threatening, progressive talent we have. Europa League here we come. It feels great to be a Villain right now.

VillaCas Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Absolutely bizarre that people are really talking about sacking the manager Just showed my Forest supporting mate the site - he thinks youre all nuts Un-fecking-believable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Agreed. It's a pleasure to have a conversation. I agree that Vlaar has stepped up. And I agree I would like to see more movement and passing. The next question then, in my mind is, what's missing from the midfield personnel we have? I think Westwood needs time and confidence and could develop. problem with villa is that we have very weak central midfieldersders and we also play with two wide forwards in wiemann and agbonlahor who aren't wide strikers. we lack any creativity in the middle of the park and we offer very little in the wide areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Who here wants him sacked? Be honest For me he is a limited manager at present and the only thing stopping me from calling for his head again is the way he got the team playing at the end of last season. I had hoped that would be repeated this season but although the results have been better the performances have taken a nose dive. Hopefully that won't continue and the manager can grow with the team so I'm prepared to give him more time if we don't slip back into trouble again but I'm still very unsure whether he has what it takes to build a successful dynasty here? "I'm prepared to give him more time" Haha - Your hubris knows no bounds When asked who would be better and available for us you always weasel out of the question Last season you were advising signing Berbatov and Adam and lobbying for the return of Bent - fine job they're doing The only limits on Lambert are the financial ones placed on him by Lerner. We're fortunate indeed that you are not running the club I answered the question directly both on who would replace Lambert and who wants Lambert sacked therefore I'm wondering is it a lack comprehension or just an inability to read due to petty agendas on site? I see you've questioned my choice of Berbatov, Adam and Bent again based on their performance this season yet when i retorted when you mentioned this previously by asking you how Benteke, Weimann and Gabby were doing this season you failed to reply. I'm wondering why was that? Edited December 2, 2013 by Morpheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think there's a bit of an overreaction here. When you take all villa fans the number who want him sacked is ridiculously low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 We haven't even been firing on all cylinders yet. We're due a run of good form, and I have a feeling that unlike recent years, it'll be December where we go on one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I honestly think VillaTalk has reached an all-time low with some of the comments on this thread. I don't even remember it being this bad when McLeish was in charge, which is astonishing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think there's a bit of an overreaction here.

CrackpotForeigner Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) HairyHands, please don't be upset by the tiny number of people who don't want PL as manager. There is always a freakish minority who want the opposite of everyone else. On internet forums some of them get off on how much their proferred opinion differs from everyone else's. That's all that's going on here, not some kind of fans' revolt. Edited December 2, 2013 by CrackpotForeigner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
