Mantis Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Obviously early days yet but I don't really see any point in him being here if we haven't imrpoved on last season by the end of this season. Long way to go yet though. Edited September 14, 2013 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I worry Lambert has no answers for the midfield. Its no good having one of the best strike forces in the premiership if you are running out of ideas how to feed them. Why can we play a quality passing game, out pass Arsenal. Then look like we have no idea how to work together??? Answers on a postcard..... inconsistent young players And whose fault is that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I thought id see some sort of progression from the team against Newcastle. Saw absolute **** all. All these players and nothing to show for it. Newcastle are supposed to be everyone's favourite for relegation and we were supposed to be shooting for top 10. Looks worrying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 norwich away will be huge - spurs and man city after that - what price 6 defeats in a row? Confidence is now possibly shot to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 That team should not have lost today. It has quality all over and yet we had one shot in the first half and failed to make any real chances other than Gabby's and Clarke's, it is missing something. Following this team ruins my weekends. you could argue we shouldnt have lost any of our opening four, which, depending on how you look at it, is either a massive improvement, or a massive disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) I have to say though that even though he's making some glaring errors this start is hardly helping things. Every team will have off days but it's still hard to predict what's going to happen, given that we shouldn't have lost against Chelsea (both on the performance and because of unfair refereeing) and we weren't that bad against a Liverpool team who are the form side in the league. Obviously early days yet but I don't really see any point in him being here if we haven't imrpoved on last season by the end of this season. Long way to go yet though. Come off it mate Come off what? I didn't say I wanted him out or anything, just saying there isn't much point in him being here if we can't progress from last season. Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough but obviously that judgement can't be made until this season is over.

Stoke drew with City today, and Cardiff beat City in the last round of games I wouldn't put too much weight in who's tipping who for what. It's football, nobody does as expected every match 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sounds great if we do actually have the ambition to build something. Sadly I think we have an owner who targets survival while keeping costs low.

dudevillaisnice Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The only player that's improved and stepped up so far is Benteke. The rest seem to have either stalled or gone backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who exactly is improving all the time? Not Clark, Lowton or Weimann on recent evidence. We're gradually improving the way we're playing as a unit, but we're hamstrung by players not turning up on given days - again that's what happens when you take a youth based approach. The plus side is that the players will either learn from that or be replaced. Weimann is going through poor form at the moment, that happens with every player. Clark though, has improved ten fold over a year ago. Lowton has been Mr. Reliable for us since he joined and is only in the first real form dip of his time at Villa. Villa fans are far too happy to paint everything as a disaster after a handful of games. Someone who's been playing well makes a mistake and all of a sudden hes shite, he's f-ing awful, he's useless. It's tiring to be honest, not watching the team play, because, personally anyway, I'm happy to watch a young bunch of lads progress, but being around here and listening to the garbage that comes with games, not just ones where we lose, but in games where we win. The guff players get is absolutely ridiculous. We're not Barcelona, but we'll certainly never have any chance to get there if people expect everyone on the pitch to play like Messi every week and boos them when they don't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both haven't shown any major improvement from last season. More so for Andi, he doesn't look right at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think behind closed doors its all about surviving and staying in the Premier league.
