PaulC Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Substitutions yesterday were stupid. Nzog scores and looks our most threatening player and he takes him off! Also don't think he should have taken Weimann off. It seemed to me he lost the plot yesterday and was settling for 1 point when we had a great opportunity to get all 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The decision to sub Zog was **** terrible, unless he was injured. Zog came in and was our best attacking threat by far - he should be starting instead of Bowery if fit - Bowery did ok yesterday but shouldn't start week in week out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The thing that I struggle to understand with it is why continue with the sub once they equalise? If the plan was to protect a 1-0 lead then why continue with that once it became 1-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Because Lambert is simply tactically inept. We lost all shape when he took off Zog and Weimann...... he's just not that great of a manager. Seen him make the wrong decisions all season. We will have plenty of good entertaining games under Lambert. But he's by no means some tactical genius, the complete opposite in fact.

PaulC Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think he was scared of losing that's why he took off our most productive player but we should have been looking to win that game not draw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Why play Bowery as a winger when we have Dawkins ? Why play Bowery and why have Dawkins ? Both of them are a raised middle finger in the face of the academy players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team has a player standing in the right place! And not one of the smallest blokes on the pitch babby sitting the the post/goal line. the problem was delph should of been closer to the goal in order to give himself a run at the ball to clear it away but his positioning meant he had a standing jump and got caught out. it was an individual error that caused the goal.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwan Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think we can conclude that we have shit subs. But it was silly to bring Zog off and change the shape. It's not the first time Villa doesn't have a Plan B though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thing was worries me - is how could the manager continually select Ciaran Clark ahead of Baker all season ? - I won't say baker hasn't put a foot wrong - but when he does he atones for it in other ways. Lambert must see this, and sees Baker day in day out in training - yet its taken an injury to get the better player in the team ? I said from day 1 - it was brave decision to make Clark a 1st choice CB - It seems even worse now we realise we had a better player in the squad all along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Still tactically inept, Proved yet again yesterday along with zonal marking and baffling subs! Plus at this stage last season McLeish had us in a better position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For long periods Vlaar has been out meaning they have both played, there's also been several games where Baker has played LB with Clark also in the team. I'd say there's only actually been a handful of occasions where Clark has been preferred to Baker. Currently though Baker gets the nod over Clark on merit.

Plus at this stage last season McLeish had us in a better position. By playing anti-football I'd rather us be where we are now, with the up and down entertaining season we've had rather than dreading every game because it's dreadful to watch.
