VillaForever1970 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bent will score wherever he goes. Ireland is shit, we will miss Ireland about as much as we miss salifouApart from at Spurs you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 If Lambert is so good as some are making out then why does Randy refuse to build the squad? Surely if Lambert is that good, then investment is a no brainer because the rewards would be virtually guaranteed? Or is it that Lerner for all his faults realises that Lambert is actually a pretty poor manager who has not delivered and does not look as though he will? Brilliant analysis - So in your world Lerner doesn't rate Lambert but rather than sack him, he prefers to not back him financially and let us get relegated - that'll show him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'll be judging him on his tactics tonight as its a must, must win game. So tonight will be as far as im concerned the best of his ability, would you not agree!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 My thoughts on lambert is that basically he was never ready for such a big job, its alright when you've got a squad used to winning in the lower leagues and then they come up and their squad harmony and no fear keeps them up. We haven't had any of that for years, how many pl games have we won since mon left? Can't be more than about 20. His poor signings and stubbornness with the seniors haven't helped and to be honest i just think he is so far out of his depth its untrue and im sure even he has realised it. You can see the the difference in body language. We seem to have something of an expert on our hands Please tell us simple folk more about what you are divining from PL's body language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 He was their top goalscorer. Was he? I thought they had Defoe, Keane and Berbatov at the same time and he was limited to sub appearances mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tonight will be as far as im concerned the best of his ability, would you not agree!! It goes without saying but I also judged him on his tactics and ability against other relegation fodder such as Wigan and Southampton so at the moment he has scored 0 out of a potential 3 for me. Let's see if he can make it to a grand total of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 he failed at livinston, wycombe and colchester. he had a purple patch at norwich like Gregory had at villa. Gregory went on to be utter shite everywhere he went after villa. Lambert will do nothing now. he is appauling, you only have to look at his signing, his man management, his tactics, his substitutions and his press conferences to see that he is utter garbage What rubbish. He didn't achieve much at Livingston in six months 'cos they were stony broke. He took Wycombe from nowhere to the play-offs in a season with minimal resources and also to LC semi beating two Premier League teams on the way and took Colchester from relegation contenders to a respectable mid-table finish again with tiny resources in less than a year and then won back to back promotion with Norwich followed by a mid-table finish again on a shoestring. In what sense is any of that failure. Bollocks is it You always post negative comments and seem to relish that so I doubt you will change your mind but six months trying to sort out the biggest mess I've seen at VP does not make you a bad manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Was he? I thought they had Defoe, Keane and Berbatov at the same time and he was limited to sub appearances mainly. He didn't get to play too much in 2007/8 and was outscored by Berbatov and Keane but he was lead scorer in 2008/9 with 17 goals in all comps.

VillaCas Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 He was their top goalscorer. Are you sure you're not thinking about Jimmy Greaves because Darren Bent "then joined Tottenham Hotspur for a club record fee of £16.5 million. It proved to be a frustrating experience as he found first team opportunities hard to come by and he failed to hit the net with the same regularity, bagging 18 in his two seasons at White Hart Lane" (ESPN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert is not a good manager in the slightest This is just not right but I can't be bothered to argue with you Suffice to say Lambert's win % over three seasons at Norwich was 49.30% better than David Moyes (for example) has achieved anywhere or well better than MON at any of his five Football League clubs Decent manager - bad situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
