flamingsombrero Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 A cup upset is nothing to get worried about. Without them we would have been watching Arsenal tonight... at the Etihad. However when the first thing that springs to mind when they cut to Lambert on the bench is England era Graham Taylor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Lambert has looked pathetic on the bence on numerous occasions this season watch him carefully next time hes on his feet when we are level or 1-0 down as soon as we go to shit even more his arse hits the bench motivator? thought he was but clearly isnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 He's not the man I thought we were getting. He's done nothing to improve us one bit. The defending is worse since he came, the attaching is worse since he came and the style of play hasn't improved much at all. I haven't seen our players improve from his coaching or any evidence of this supposed tactical knowledge he is meant to have. He's been a massive let down for me. I don't think he was backed enough, I think he inherited a poor squad but ultimately he is currently doing a piss poor job as manager of Aston Villa.

West Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Lambert cannot be this bad. The fans love him and are supporting him so I guess he will get 4-5 matches to turn this around still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The thing that worries me is his lack of enthusiasm. His lack of fight. His lack of temperament. He looks like a broken man. Not knowing how to make his players perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 What did he have to say after the match? I don't see any point keeping him any longer. Have we improved under him? No We are on a downward spiral with this clueless clown in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've supported him but struggling to justify it still. I'll decide at the end of Jan, signings are crucial and I hope he spends he whole day tomorrow on the phone bring in a new centre back and centre mid. If we get to the end of Jan and this hasn't been done then I can't support him. Going out over 2 legs to Bradford would be worse than any cup upset I've witnessed as a villa fan. I believe he broke another record tonight ofnus losing to a 4th tier club in the cup for the first time in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 No one was more excited than me when we signed Lambert. The one fly in the ointment was his questionable defensive stats - sadly thats come back to haunt us. Ive said before, making Clark a first choice CB was risky (as is any young CB TBH). He just has no outstanding qualities, not good in the air, not robust in the tackle, doesn't read the game that well, - it worries that PL couldn't see that.

Designer1 Posted January 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) He's not the man I thought we were getting. I have to say, that's exactly what i'm starting to think. I certainly didn't think i'd see a result this bloody awful with him in charge. Far, far worse than the Chelsea result imo.

powell91 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 He best do some serious investing this january! I think i remember reading an article where PL says that he doesn't like the january transfer window because it is at time for panic buys. Well Mr Lambert if this isn't a time to **** panic can you please tell me when? This past few years our clubs reputation has taken a complete bettering and we are turning into a laughing stock. SORT IT OUT, before villa park turns into an empty souless shell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquaddieVilla Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 He didnt to conduct an interview afterwards, because it was the same as every time he has been interviewed Boring, lifeless, and uninspiring no wonder the team on the pitch look like strangers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what happens in those matches. a 0-3 , 0-4 v Southampton is entirely feasible. I reckon he could walk after that. Even if he doesn't - its when, not if for me.

Mantis Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The problem is we've spent so much money paying off managers recently and we're in a really difficult situation here right in the January transfer window that any new manager that comes in won't be able to do much. That said, I'm really starting to fall on the side of the people that want him out. Enough is enough. If we play like that and lose on Saturday then he has to go.

Nabby Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I expect us to get battered by Soton and the fans turn and he walks or is pushed.Can not see how in 4 days he can sort that team out for Saturday. **** knows what happened to the Lambert at Norwich but he is not the one we got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick him at left back when Vlaars back. He might make an average left back but he's not a centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I still believe he is going to make the right signings and we will finish mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquaddieVilla Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just flabbergasted with his attitude, come out and be honest instead of hiding behind lies. Really beginning to dislike him, he should not be allowed to drag us down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It feels like Bolton last season. We all knew the manager was going. Sad thing for me, I know everyone is screaming @ bennet & KEA - but lambert does appear to be able to spot a player. Lowton, Westwood, Bentekke are easily worth what we paid. His gross error IMO was the centre of defence - you just can't get away with it there - you need someone who knows what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
