Bad news is that Pulis has picked the team that Stoke fans wanted him too. Has dropped Crouch for Jones. As for us, are we playing 4-2-3-1? Weimann in the hole? Very positive.
-
Not worried about jones- the game is there to be won - surprised Bowery starts but hope it works out.
-
Bowery in midfield....REALLY!!??
-

Probably. Possibly 442 with Bowery and Benteke to hassle Huth & Shawcross?
-
Apologies to whoever predicted this exact side in the pre-match thread! Hats off.
I can see the logic, but I am concerned this is a mistake. Bowery on the wing doesn't convince for me and that could leave us ineffective on the right. And Weimann in behind Benteke will be less creative than the alternative options, though he will be able to get in and around him.
I'd have stuck with Sylla in midfield if we wanted the height for set pieces, which surely must be the reason for the change.
-
Bowery LOL :(
Can't see today being a good day. Hope im wrong.
-
Is Holman really that bad to not get a game in midfield
-
I think if Clark had been fit,he'd has stayed with the same formation,with Baker switching to left back,and no Bowery.
Seems He's counteracting the way they play,rather than looking at us to impose our game on them.Risky to me.It just illuminates the paucity of our options,there's no height or physicality in Centre Mid,Scylla's not ready yet and so far has been played as the forward one of the three.
The key today,apart from the obvious set piece defending,is to frustrate,and always threaten on the counter.Make them wary of losing the game.Benteke had his hardest game at VP against Huth/Shawcross,we'll see if his learnt much mentally this season today.I think you beat these by controlling the game,I worry we're not set up for this today.Cmon me lions
-
Delph in for Bannan makes sense. Bowery in for Sylla makes no sense. To be honest, Bowery in for anyone makes no sense, the kid's just not good enough at all, and Sylla has shown that he is a cut above the likes of him in every game he's played. It is a mistake, and I'm sorry, but Lambert has made too many first-team selection mistakes this season.
-
Is Holman really that bad to not get a game in midfield
Yes
-
It's the wrong team. I hope it doesn't cost us.
We are trying to match Stoke up, we should be playing our own game. Bowery I assume will be on the right with Weimann in centre mid. Neither has demonstrated any great aptitude for the roles.
I hope it doesn't end up like the dying minutes of the LC semi.
-
Has it come to playing a 4th division player in the team just because he is taller than other options?
Has there been any games where Lambert has shown this supposed tactical nous this season?
-
We are trying to match Stoke up, we should be playing our own game.
Quite right. Of course some sort of compensation to adapt to the opposition is sensible, but this is tactical surrender. Bowery's presence has made us sluggish and predictable in a lot of our attacking when he's been in the side.
-
If we don't win today i think the pressure will tell in our remaining games.
I really cannot see QPR beating Wigan tomorrow, so 3 points is the only outcome for us today to stay in the hunt for survival.
-
N'Zog, Karim and Brett must be thinking WTF!
-
An absolute must win game. Lambert's job is pretty much on the line. He goes and selects a side like this.
What the fuck is he on? 4-2-4? I don't get it. I really don't. We've got 4 strikers on the chuffing pitch.
If Bowery is in for his height, why not keep Sylla in the side instead and have that extra man in the middle of midfield.
Why take height out of the middle and put it on the wing where Stoke are at their smallest?
In-fucking-sanity.
Lambert has to go. For all he's got the right ideas, you cannot manage in this league by making such piss poor selections. I know the match hasn't started yet but this just smacks of cluelessness. I've nothing against Bowery. He works hard but he's clearly not Prem standard, and most definitely not playing wide. Maybe Bowery will play up top alongside Benteke. That might have some logic but I'm pretty sure Lambert will make the cock up decision to play him wide instead.
Why not put N'Zogbia in on the wing and try and put some pace and mobility against Stokes lumbering backline?
I don't see us winning this one. I suspect there'll be a significant change in personal and formation at half time too when PL realises his master plan is bollocks.
Of course he could prove me wrong...but I really, really doubt it.
-
Bowery, how odd.
-
N'Zog, Karim and Brett must be thinking WTF!
And me, I'm 6 foot 2" and useless, must have been in with a shout for either side.
-
Bowery instead of Sylla. Why?
-
Unfortunately for Nzog he was pitiful for his cameo against the Bindippers,otherwise he'd have been well in contention.
Bowery's playing though because of their set piece threat,Lambert must believe if we cope with that we've got a decent chance of something.
I'm more surprised that we hadnt kept the formation.Stoke struggle against teams that control the tempo of the game.Ideal for our 433.We so need a bit of height in the squad.We wouldnt need Bowery if we had an imposing central mid or a 6 foot full back,as unfortunately the central two(delph and Westwood)are midgets.
-
Is Sylla injured?
-
Bowery is a strange choice.
-
N'Zog, Karim and Brett must be thinking WTF!
I hope they are thinking they need to up their game.
-
N'Zog, Karim and Brett must be thinking WTF!
I have thought the same the last time I saw the latter play ,lucky to make the bench IMO
-
Bowery LOL :(
Can't see today being a good day. Hope im wrong.
so odd
Stoke are shite
worse record in 2013 , we should play to our strengths , go and win and they should be worried about us , not worrying about a shite team .
He obviously wants to keep it 0-0 until late and probably bring Charlie and Bent on last 30 mins to hit them. * hopefully*
-
N'Zog, Karim and Brett must be thinking WTF!
not KEA but Sylla is fine ;)
-
May be Lambert intends to hit Benteke and Bowery with long balls to hold up play with Gabby and Weimann grafting in midfield. Pretty sure the inclusion of Bowery is simply one based on defending set pieces and high balls into our box.
-
No Sylla? Bit odd.
-
I was dissapointed with the Bowery selection until I read this, I know believe its fate he will score a hattrick
In all seriousness, I'm not looking forward to this.
-

The best way to attack Stoke is not with long-balls, they'll eat that up all day long. Why do managers always fall into this type of fallacy? It's quite insane.
-
27 23-Feb-13 A Fulham L 0-1
28 02-Mar-13 H West Ham United L 0-1
29 10-Mar-13 A Newcastle United L 1-2
30 16-Mar-13 H West Bromwich Albion D 0-0
31 30-Mar-13 A Everton L 0-1
stokes last 5 games
why is Lambert worried about them
they are shite , play your best players , you are running out of games !!!!
-
Seems like a strange selection but I wouldn't sack Lambert just yet, let's see how we line up (I'm guessing Bowery on the right) and how it goes.
-
Stoke 1 win in 12 and that was Reading at home
Lambert you can be a plonker at times
-
I do see the logic in having at least four players who can defend set pieces. I just would have thought that the sacrifice in playing Bowery in terms of our cohesion and threat would have meant we should go for the slightly shorter Sylla in midfield.
I agree with others. We want to get a grip on the game. I'm not sure that Weimann, Gabby and Bowery will enable us to do that in the way that Bannan, CNZ and Sylla could do (not that I'd play all three of them)
-
My usual site is down , would anyone please be able to help me via pm?
-
Cmon Villa ffs. Win and win well. UTV.
-
Methinks this will be painful to watch. Very painful. Stoke will probably fancy this as the win they need to all but guarantee safety.
It's complete and utter madness for Lambert to shoot himself in the foot like this. Of course Bowery might score the winner and he'll think he's pulled off a master stroke, but even so, this just seems like a choice that's destined to fail.
-
I'd sell my arse for a win today.
-
Bowery on right wing is very negative. Just on for extra height it seems. Should have played an extra midfielder. Big task for Delph and Westwood.
Got away with one there. Keep your arms by your sides Baker ffs.
-
Mexican tv reckons that was a penalty for Stoke.
-
I've suddenly got a lot less confident about a win here. I imagine Pulis will have looked at this side and thought, 'they're frightened of our threat'.
Let's see though before we use this team selection as justification for sacking the manager!
-
It was NEVER penalty. Ball hit at him from 4 yards and he had his arms down
-
Baker is a walking clanger. 1st Division player at best.
-
Thanks very much folks ! You have saved easties bacon - couldnt miss this game ;)
-
4231, Bowery in the hole.
-
Fucking hate Stoke.
-
Lose this today with this team selection and I want Lamberts head on a plate
-
Mexican tv reckons that was a penalty for Stoke.
we would have wanted it
-
Afternoon gents.
Let's do these hoof merchants. Come on you, Villa boys!
-
Not been the calm controlled start we were hoping for.
-
Good grief! Stoke are the one team we should be dominating possession against and we play a two man midfield. They are all over us.
-
Stoke seem on the front foot - didnt expect them this fired up:(
-
Right come on you villans. Time for a clean sheet I reckon.
-
Stoke all over us
-
go gabby!!! 1-0
-
Clearly Lambert feels it will be similar to the West Ham game, physical and high balls. Maybe the thinking is that Sylla is too raw for this type of experience. If it's tight I'd expect N'Zog/Bent to replace Bowery in the last 20-30 mins.
-
Gabbye!!!!!
-
Get in
-
Fuck you Stoke. Fuck you.
-
get the fuckity fuck in
-
ggababbbyyyyyy
-
get in.
-
Yes!!!!! Get in there, Gabby!!
-
wayhay
-
YESSSSSS
-
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
-
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!! Lambert you tactical genius !!!!!
-
Long way to go but yesssss!!!!!
-
1-0 Villa
Great finish and calm from Gabby.
Erm...
Good play from that Bowery lad in the build up. Nothing like writing off a side before they kick a ball lads
-
We're finally going to batter these today.
-
Bowery involved in the build up too.
-
Well done Gabby.
-
Bowery had a big part to play in that. ;)
-
well done bowery in build up lol
-
i thought stoke had scored when i heard the cheers.... Go gabby!!!!
-
Right come on you villans. Time for a clean sheet I reckon.
Yes please. That'd be a win. 5 in last 10 for Gabby.
-
Great work from Bowery!
-
Yes! Calmly taken in by Bowery there, too
-
Lambert youre a genius ;)
-
Bowery and Lowton did well in the build up, pretty awful defending from Stoke though.
-
GET IN! I said this is the one game I don't mind a early goal in this game.
-
First of our 3 goals today, great play from Lowton. Bowery to be fair had a part to play. Come on lads, drive home the advantage now. Stoke will be shitting themselves
-
Gabbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
The boy scores some vital goals.
-
Gabbye!!!!!
This man WILL keep us up!
He WILL!
Despite Lamberts best efforts...
-
Ooh I do love making mistakes about footballers. It's like a post-pub chippy for a fourth meal of the day - so wrong but oh so great.
-
Not bad work from Bowery, considering he's shit and all that...
-
YESSSSSS
-
Bowery almost scores!
-
Good effort!
-
Close there Bowery, good effort kid.
-
Unlucky Bowery. Side netting
-
fook thiought tht was 2 from bowery
-
Thing is with Bowery it is not as if the alternatives are world beaters; sylla, KEA, Holman... you could argue that N'Zog when he can be arsed is a match winner, Bowery must have been doing well in training I suppose.
Thought he scored then too.
-
thought bowery had scored then.
-
OOOOOooooof Jordan
-
Yep, he's started well has Bowery.
-
Another goal and i can't see stoke recovering
-
Lets be honest, we're all ******....we haven't a clue
-
Get in Gabby YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
-
Lovely little shimmy by Delph there. At his best, he is strong on the ball and turns quickly, beating players well.
-
Gabbye!!!!!
This man WILL keep us up!
He WILL!
Despite Lamberts best efforts...
Sorry Tom, but what a pile of shit. The bloke Lambert is getting pelters for selecting just held his man and played Lowton into the space to create the goal. He then just took a ball out the sky like a gem and came close to adding a second. Give Lambert a break.
-
Oooh unlucky Benteke
-
another chance from benteke ;) looking good
-
Another goal and i can't see stoke recovering
This.
-
Another goal and i can't see stoke recovering
This.
Villa normally need 3 for a win though?
-
bowery looks looks lime messi and stoke look shite
-
Come on you Lions. These are the periods in games when you need to score a second. Next goal is massive for the season.
-
Anyone see Lambo's words on Westy?
"You're not telling me he's a dirty player, he doesn't need to be dirty, he doesn't lose the ball". Paraphrased, but yeah, brilliant I thought.
-
Pulis and his stupid cap need to fuck off back to Mordor. Ugly orc-ball merchants really piss me off.
-
We will need 3 to win this, if not first, second half Stoke will aerially ambush like Wimbledon on heat.
-
Too early?
-
Bowery has looked decent in his sub appearances so far. We need to keep going for goals here. We surely have too many strikers on though??
-
Stokes defending for our goal was Villa-esque. We need to get a goal while were on top.
-
I'm not even going to smile until we're 3 up
-
defense !!!
no penalty give aways
dont fall over
dont get caught out of position
dont pass it to a stoke player
no own goals
.......and we can win this !!!!
-
Another goal and i can't see stoke recovering
This.
Villa normally need 3 for a win though?
The leagues lowest scorers are the exception to this rule I would assume.
-
How nice a left boot has Bennett got. We miss a trick not getting him to cross early more often. Such a good foot.
-
bowery looks looks lime messi because stoke are shite
Fixed.
-
God Stoke look poor. Even if they win today, even if they stay up, they need to get rid of the Puler in the summer because this league is leaving them behind.
-
How nice a left boot has Bennett got. We miss a trick not getting him to cross early more often. Such a good foot.
Truth
-
Stoke look nervy now, let's get at them.
-
We're dreadful at second balls aren't we?
-
bowery looks looks lime messi and stoke look shite
Don't speak to soon PABLO, FFS.
-
How nice a left boot has Bennett got. We miss a trick not getting him to cross early more often. Such a good foot.
Truth
Completely agree. We should give him a chance at set pieces.
-
Were always shite in the 2nd half. We need at least a 2-0 lead IMO
-
We will still lose this to a second half barnstorm from them.
-
We will still lose this to a second half barnstorm from them.
Not today we won't. 3 nil.
-
Stoke look well poor
-
We will still lose this to a second half barnstorm from them.
Definitely.
-
How nice a left boot has Bennett got. We miss a trick not getting him to cross early more often. Such a good foot.
Truth
Completely agree. We should give him a chance at set pieces.
Give him training I think his delivery could be incredible. Gets proper natural whip on the ball.
-
Our formation is still really lopsided, despite Bowery looking ok, and is giving space to their best player (normally) - Etherington.
PS unlucky Gabby
-
That was a real chance.
-
should have got that on target ..come on villa
-
Needed a bit more curl on that to sneak it in. Gabby close again.
-
ARGHHHHH thats bloody close
-
close by gabby. we need more goals while we're on top.
-
We will still lose this to a second half barnstorm from them.
We deserve to go down if that happens. These lot are there for the taking.
-
How many times do we not take a good chance to go two ahead? Lost count now.
-
Was that really Gabby tracking back, making a sweet tackle and running back up the pitch with the ball?
-
It was one of those chances where a skillful player would have dummied the shot taken a touch and opened up the whole goal. Gabby snatched it a little.
-
Gabby's fired up for this.
-
Mutiny in the home terraces.
-
inter breds dont look happy
-
Can see why they are the lowest scorers in the prem. Good chance of a clean sheet today.
-
Good to hear the home fans moaning and getting on the Stoke players backs.
-
Nice to see. They appear a bit like us last season under TSM. Will cling on and draw, sneak and snarl to safety but Pulis is a dead man walking.
-
Stoke are fucking appalling. We have to win this one. No excuses. A 2nd goal would be very nice.
-
Stoke must have hit about 6 long balls into no mans land.
-
Gabby>Stoke
-
Crowd on the brink of turning. Why I said pre-match that an early goal would be important.
-
We have to get a second. NZogbia would kill this lot running at them.
-
Come on we're going to need some more goals this afternoon. I always feel worse when we're winning for some reason!
-
Crowd on the brink of turning. Why I said pre-match that an early goal would be important.
need another.
-
couple more this half and the atmosphere there will be venomous.
-
Shit is that Owen on the bench? Well you know what's going to happen...
-
Unlucky Andrei
-
Post! unlucky Weimann
-
hit the damn post damn
-
unlucky
-
oh god! so close.
-
Bollocks
Was that the chance we will rue??
-
fucky shitty bollocks
-
Get Zoggy on, he will tear this lot a new arsehole.
-
Sorry, you have to score that.
-
We've got to take these chances this is going to come back and bite us in the second half if we don't.
-
Benteke will get a hat-trick.
-
Abysmal defending by Stoke.
Should have scored.
-
Cracking football.
-
keeper with a finger tip save. fuuck.
-
Sorry, you have to score that.
Keeper pulled off a great save - I wouldn't blame Weimann too much.
-
Are we not allowed to ever make a scoreline safe? Fooks sake!
-
C'mon lads we can get 3 or 4 past these pot heads
-
Stoke have always been a one-trick pony. Defend the flanks well and we have zero to worry about.
-
Tekkers is a bit off thus far.
-
Zog on for Bowery at half time.
-
Sorry, you have to score that.
he would have, if not for a world class save.
-
Bowery's a trier. That's about all though. How are we not miles ahead? Is this film going to end like so many others?
-
That there from Bowery would not have happened had that been Zog in his place.
-
Should have scored
I agree we have to score one more this half. We're so far on top
Benteke must score sooner or later surely?
CNZ could tear them a new one
I feel really really sick. I hate it
-
Sorry, you have to score that.
he would have, if not for a world class save.
As I said, you have to score that.
-
12 months ago was the 1-1 draw at villa park against these. Remember TSM celebrate at the end of it.
-
As well as the forwards have done this season, I have to wonder had they taken some of the chances we have created to put games further away, if there would have been the pressure and as such the amount of nervy goals we have conceded.
-
I'm already worrying about the half time team talk ;)
-
Benteke's barely had a touch
-
I think Huth's doing 'a Samba' on Benteke so far.
-
Swansea beating Norwich
-
We cant afford a second half collapse so another goal before half time would do nicely please.
-
gabby booked for diving
-
Fuck sake Gabby
-
Gabby with a chance. Damn
-
Sorry, you have to score that.
he would have, if not for a world class save.
As I said, you have to score that.
Gabby had to score that.
-
Slightly crap by Gabby that.
-
Gabby come on now
-
If we can just score ten goals and keep a clean sheet....
-
That is an awful dive.
-
Hate to see that from Villa players. Another chance bites the dust.
-
NORWICH LOSING.
-
Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.
-
N'Zog needs to come on at HT. Bowery hasn't done too badly but he's just not good enough with the ball at his feet. CNZ could have a field day on the right flank. We need to be targeting this game not just as a win but a chance to improve our GD.
-
stay on your feet and put the ball in net
-
Francis can say what he liked, it looked like he took his foot there
-
Narwich losing. So far, so sexy.
-
Ive seen worse....Suarez springs too mind
-
Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.
dive
-
Nice try Gab.
-
Should have took that on instead of diving. Correct yellow card.
-
Actually was a pen but went down too late
-
FFS. Embarassing dive. should have scored
we have to get one villa come on! We're murdering them
-
should have lobbed him, keeper was way off his line.
-
Francis can say what he liked, it looked like he took his foot there
Possibly but the dive was a tad on the theatrical side. Had he not tried emulating superman he might have got it.
-
Dive according to Radio 5
-
Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.
dive
caught him. whether it was a penalty or not, his foot was clearly caught.
he shoulda shot anyway, and none of it woulda happened.
-
So happy to be 1 up but looking at it we should easily have 3
-
Ashley Agbonlahor or Gabby Young.
-
1-0, looking good, should be more ahead, comfortable.
This is EXACTLY the type of game we always screw up.
-
Dive according to Radio 5
Must be true then
-
Sorry, you have to score that.
he would have, if not for a world class save.
As I said, you have to score that.
? Great save by a keeper who'll probably be off to ManUre in the summer.
-
Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.
dive
caught him. whether it was a penalty or not, his foot was clearly caught.
But in not going down straight away, and theatrically staggering, waving his arms, he made the yellow card the easiest decision.
-
No more freekicks in dangerous areas for them please lads. Lets not shoot ourselves in the foot.
-
Feel that missing all these will come back to bite us now. Can't miss all these chances and get away with it. Even against a team as inept as Stoke.
-
just noticed not many games today .. come on Villa
-
We have had 4 good chances since scoring. We will be punished for it.
-
We should be at least 2 up. Worrying that we aren't making our dominance count. Stoke couldn't be as bad in the second half. Need more from Benteke, he has been crap so far.
Gabby, Delph and Westwood superb. Need a second though so come on
-
1-0, looking good, should be more ahead, comfortable.
This is EXACTLY the type of game we always screw up.
To be fair, we screw up pretty much every type of game.
-
Norwich equalise
-
Should be 3 up here - lets hope we sustain this performance 2nd half.
-
Westwood got lucky there. Should have played the square ball but gave it away in a needless place.
-
Worried about the scoreline with the 2nd half approaching.
-
We need 1 before half time because it's all but garaunteed we'll make a meal of it in the 2nd half. I expect our normal capitulation. I can't see Stoke scoring more than 1 though so another goal should be enough.
-
What must Stoke's wage bill be like these days? Owen, Adam and Crouch all on the bench.
-
Bowery's gone missing
-
Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.
dive
caught him. whether it was a penalty or not, his foot was clearly caught.

This is a big thing in football, it's all well and good to punish players for diving but of you try to stay on you r feet it's very rare for refs to give them, so you get situations like that where they try to stay up, realise the chance is gone and know they're not getting the free kick unless they 'earn it'.
-
Amazing to think a team containing a player as poor as Glen Whelan has managed to survive in this league.
-
looking good. shame Lamberts half time talk to come up
-
BBC sport says it was Gabby fouling goalie and is then booked for dissent!!!
Who is watching this game....a blind man?
-
Dive according to Radio 5
Must be true then
Not necessarily, but you'd hope it's a neutral opinion
-
What must Stoke's wage bill be like these days? Owen, Adam and Crouch all on the bench.
like ours used to be?
-
NZogbia for Bowery at half time is a fucking must
-
Norwich 1-1
-
Bowery's gone missing
More worryingly, Benteke hasn't even turned up yet. Being marked out the game.
-
If Weimann went down then we had more chance of a pen

agreed, it's lose/lose. he tried to run on after the trip, but couldn't. then went down. he was still caught. same just happened with Weimann. caught in the box, stayed up/got up but lost the chance. but he was still caught.
-
HT 0-1. Boos from the home crowd.
-
Why were we pissing around with the ball there giving them a chance?
-
Good half. We are going to win this one.
-
Lambert go and get a burger , forget about the team talk
-
That was a really good first half. We played some lovely stuff and should be miles ahead. Now, inevitably we can shit ourselves for the second half and pray we can score again
-
Lambert go and get a burger , forget about the team talk
Like.
-
Well that was our good half, now for our shit half.....
-
If Weimann went down then we had more chance of a pen
He did go down and got up again quickly.
-
Fair play to Bowery, hasn't done too much wrong. But think Zog should come on second half. Just to put these to the sword.
-
5Live commentators are willing us to concede. Sod off.
-
Lambert needs to be pro-active here at half time. Get Zoggy on for Bowery and fucking go at them. The counter will be vital. Have an extra mid ready for Andi on 60, and tell Gabby from 70 onwards to play on the touchline, and fucking burn them. Their backline are slower than custard pants in treacle.
-
We should have made more of the chances we had we never play well for two halves.
-
5Live commentators are willing us to concede. Sod off.
Why are 5Live against us?
-
We need to get some width on the right, too much down the left, Gabby, Benteke, Wiemann playing too close to each other. Bring Charlie on and open them up with space to run into.
Well done the defence, they've done everything required so far.
-
Lambert go and get a burger , forget about the team talk
Hopefully where there is a looong queue.
-
bowery looks looks lime messi because stoke are shite
Fixed.
fair
-
We should have made more of the chances we had we never play well for two halves.
Hopefully that was our bad half ;)
-
Why the bloody hell do we make it so hard for ourselves. Should be 3 up, easily and this game should be out of site.
-
Bowery off, N'Zog on. He's working hard the lad but he looks like what he is. A striker who's come from Chesterfield, who wasn't even a key member of their side, and has been thrown into the Premiership...out of position. I expect no more.
Zoggy could have a field day here.
Next goal is absolutely essential. Considering we're a one half side, we have to kill Stoke off in the first 10-15 minutes. If they score first, they'll probably go on to win. In any case a point isn't enough for us. We need all 3.
-
Good stuff, but I am worrying myself with the thought that my new favourite bet (winning at HT, losing at full time, pays 25/1) is still alive and kicking, yet again.
-
One of our best halfs this season - should be further ahead - please dont fall apart 2nd half villa!
-
Please Villa. No defending deep. No hoofball. No glaring individual errors. Just come out and approach the second half as you did the first.
-
As long as it isn't the N'Zogbia who came on against Liverpool.
-
5Live commentators are willing us to concede. Sod off.
Why are 5Live against us?
With the title race dead the relegation battle is where its at. Same for sky. We are the big name down there.
-
Right. Relax for 15.
Barring the missed chances a great performance so far. But we've been here so often before with this side. As absolutely awful as Stoke have been, they're going to get a chance at some point from a set piece. We really need a second.
Westwood has been absolutely fantastic. He really does look like Michael Carrick today.
They're struggling to cope with both our possession and our breakaway play. But we've missed two one on ones. We need Benteke to get one of these gilt edged chances.
I do think CNZ at some point could be really dangerous.
But I'm genuinely not sure I can stomach watching the second half. This is so important for us this game.
-
Stoke have surprised me with their shitness, still it's incompetence on our part for not making more of it. We had lots of chances there to be 2 or 3 up. It worries me as well when our play breaks down our shape is shot to pieces. Take a look, at times there's 4 strikers hanging around the same place and I think we're too easy to score against.
But if we keep going forward, surely we can outscore them?
-
I know we are not allowed to ask for streams, but I want to bend the rules a little bit and ask if anyone knows where I can watch the Grand National?
-
Can we play well for 90 minutes, or will we stick to a good 45 and regret our missed chances???
-
I'm not fearing Stoke. I just hope nothing jammy happens against us like some deflected shot or refs mistake.
-
Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.
dive
caught him. whether it was a penalty or not, his foot was clearly caught.
he shoulda shot anyway, and none of it woulda happened.
not two hours later ;)
-
Stoke can't be this shite for 90 minutes can they? Unless we get another I hope they can be.
-
Just in seems like we have been doing well.
Come On You Lions!!!!
-
I know we are not allowed to ask for streams, but I want to bend the rules a little bit and ask if anyone knows where I can watch the Grand National?
Aintree
Sorry
-
5Live commentators are willing us to concede. Sod off.
Why are 5Live against us?
Cos we're not in London or Manchester don't y'know
-
Stoke can't be this shite for 90 minutes can they? Unless we get another I hope they can be.
Thing is, despite their shitness they're still winning 70% of the headers in our box, they're not all going to fly over the top.
-
A good first half boys apart from not putting the game out of sight. I fear the worst for the 2nd half as Stoke can't be that bad again plus we have been unable to play for two halves all season.
Come on Villa please...
-
Stoke can't be this shite for 90 minutes can they? Unless we get another I hope they can be.
Been shite most of season so I don't see why not

Relax ! Are you mad ?
-

They can, but we can be even shittier then they are for the next 45 minutes.
-
Fucking hell, they are bad. Good first 45 mins for us. Can we finally have 2 good halves of Football?
-
Bring on Bent. Remember him?
He'll seal this game.
-
Gabby's 60th Premiership goal. Joint top with Yorkie for us in the Prem now.
-
Fucking hell, they are bad. Good first 45 mins for us. Can we finally have 2 good halves of Football?
Not been done since Swansea at home.

I need to relax for half time or I'm going to have a coronary
-
Let's see if our erudite gaffer can work his magic during the interval.
-
We could desperately do with an early 2nd half goal. If we do, their crowd will turn against them.
-
Bring on Bent. Remember him?
He'll seal this game.
for who?
-
Stoke lose this and their will be another manager causality
-
I expect there will be a storm to be weathered at the start of the second half.
-
Bring on Bent. Remember him?
He'll seal this game.
for who?
Exactly. We should not be changing shape to accommodate Bent.

We will let you off in that case.
-
Bring on Bent. Remember him?
He'll seal this game.
for who?
Depends how the game is going. I wouldn't bring him on yet.
Could take off Bowery and go 4-2-4
-
We could desperately do with an early 2nd half goal. If we do, their crowd will turn against them.
Agreed, game should be over by now, another goal and the crowd will turn on pulis and his men.
-
Bring on Bent. Remember him?

for who?
Guzan. He did nothing first half. ;)
-
Stoke lose this and their will be another manager causality
Cant see that happening until the summer if it does .
-
Shit just looked at the table, Newcastle aren't out of this. Wigan have two games in hand, thought only one.
-
BBC Sport have at least got something right
Half Time
The players leave the pitch
-
Bring on Bent. Remember him?
He'll seal this game.
for who?
Depends how the game is going. I wouldn't bring him on yet.
Could take off Bowery and go 4-2-4
Give Bent 20 mins if it is still 1-0.
-
Kightly on for Etherington. Didn't see that coming.
They must be trying to attach down the wing or something.
-
kightly on for them
-
Bit windy today Dan!
-
Bowery again!
-
We could desperately do with an early 2nd half goal. If we do, their crowd will turn against them.

I'll stick my neck out and say that Stoke don't have it in them to come back from two down.
-
got to be scoring that
-
Must score one of these.
-
Grrrr. Great turn by Bowery though.
-
christ. another chance. great turn, shoulda scored.
-
Delph is twice the player he was at the start of the season.
-
Bowery did great to get there but GOT TO SCORE there. Another great chance. Going to lose this.
-
For me Bowery did ok with the shot, but would have had a better chance had he anticipated Weimann's cross - which Benteke does really well.
-
That was the worst miss of the lot. HAd to score
-
Would this game be dead and buried if Bent was playing?
-
Delph is twice the player he was at the start of the season.
A few are. Lambert has done well with the players already here barring Bent really.
-
That was the worst miss of the lot. HAd to score
Don't think it was that clear-cut. Left foot tight angle.
-
Fuck off Francis.
-
Delph is twice the player he was at the start of the season.
A few are. Lambert has done well with the players already here barring Bent really.
He's energetic and takes people on. Playing with confidence.
-
This isn't going to end well is it. Just one of those games.
Please villa please!!
-
Bennetts having a good game. He's getting better.
-
Got to get another one or Stoke are just going to throw everyone in the box and something will fall for them
-
Someone said earlier about how for all the shit our defence gets a lot of our problems would be avoided if our strikers took their chances. Pretty much bang on. We waste too many chances and eventually end up conceding and we rip the defence apart for not being good enough. We need to kill games off.
-
we have missed some sitters this season , even Benteke at the beginning
-
That was the worst miss of the lot. HAd to score
Not in my opinion. He had a tighter angle then Weimanns.
-
Fuck off Francis.
He's usually surprisingly fair about the Villa, but he's really getting on my tits today.
-
Get Zoggy or Bent on. Come on Lambert, go for it.
-
That was the worst miss of the lot. HAd to score
Not in my opinion. He had a tighter angle then Weimanns.
I thought Gabby's was the best,that's 3 one-on-ones, though Weimann was under pressure.
-
Nzogbia for Bowery I think?
This is criminal only being one up against these today.
-
Would this game be dead and buried if Bent was playing?
Yes
-
Crouch to come on and get the equaliser? I'm calling it now just so I can say 'I fucking knew it' later.
-
he tread on his foot
-
Jerome on for a defender. You know he is going to fucking score isn't he!
Bollocks, Westwood looks injured. Not good if so.
-
Please dont be injured westy
-
Bowery should come off soon. Whether it's for Bent and we play with him up with Benteke and Weimann & Gabby wide or for N'Zogbia to play in and around the front 3.
-
Would this game be dead and buried if Bent was playing?
Yes
Oh not this old chestnut again. The Bent who has been out injured for 7-8 weeks. I doubt he would be match sharp. Last half hour for sure.
-
Would this game be dead and buried if Bent was playing?
We may not have been as dominant and producing chances in the first place if Bent was playing.
-
I think we;re going to hear "Huth goes long" quite a lot over the next half an hour.
-
Bit windy today Dan!
Yes mate. I have stopped at home today watching a stream of the game. Bloody wind, blows me fag away !!
-
We're playing our way into trouble here. Need to step it up a gear. We're too slack.
-
I was expecting a back heal from benteke then
-
Bentekes not with it today
-
Afternoon chaps, hows it going? just managed to get a tinternet connection. I know it's 0-1 but how are we playing?
-
Please wrap it up soon villa - cant face the last 5 minutes if its only 1-0 - nerves in shreds!
-
Is it me, or is time going very, very slowly?
-
All over them first half missed a lot of chances. 3-0 wouldn't flatter us. Stoke are their usual hideousness.
-
Unforgivable if we fuck this one up
-
Afternoon chaps, hows it going? just managed to get a tinternet connection. I know it's 0-1 but how are we playing?
Should be 3 or 4 up !
-
we're starting to give the ball away in a hurried fashion,trying to force it!
We need to keep a grip of possession,frustrate and counter effectively.Finally show we're growing up as a team
-
I'm so fucking tense.
If we score, my pants will fill with semen.
If they score, they'll be covered in shit.
-
Let's have N'Zogbia on.
-
Bowreys legs are gone, badly need a change there. Wouldn't be against Bent coming on for Benteke either if he doesn't start pulling his finger out
-
The distribution from our defenders with the exception of Lowton is terrible.
It seems it's either give it to Guzan or give it away.
-
The commentator just spoke about the last time we won at Stoke in 1984.
"Graham Turner was manager and Peter Withe scored. Villa greats of yesteryear."
He said greats, in the plural !
-
so much like a game against stoke before when they were crap but got a draw
-
Norwich winning. >:(
-
Dirty ****** of a challenge.
-
He hasnt had a lot to do today, but Guzan's kicking hasnt been great today.
-
nasty tackle that.
-
Looked like another good chance for Bowery there.
-
I'm so fucking tense.
If we score, my pants will fill with semen.
If they score, they'll be covered in shit.
Summed it up perfectly!
-
need to bring charlie on now
-
Norwich 2-1 up. Bollox
-
dirty bastar**s
-
If stoke lose this i think we are extremely likely to finish above them - they are shit!
-
They are such dirty ******.
-
Come on Lambert. Get CNZ on NOW!
-
Brian Little's Claret Blue Army!
-
More filth from Stoke.
-
two dirty cynical challenges in a row by Stoke.
-
Cmon Lambert fucking change things!
-
And the ref should've booked that ugly orc twat Shawcross earlier for a cynical shirt pull.
-
Why on earth aren't stoke in the bottom 3?
-
Why on earth aren't stoke in the bottom 3?
Another 5 games and they will be.
-
Bowery looked heavy legged running down the wing there.
-
Resorting to long-balls now.
-
good stop by baker
-
Pffff great block Baker.
-
Good lad Nat
-
He's as brave as they come is Baker.
-
Bowery looked heavy legged running down the wing there.
charlie should come on for it now. hes done his job
-
need to bring charlie on now
Absolutely. We're not creating any space up front. Let's stretch them.
-
Baker's going the way of Muhammed Ali the amount of head injuries he's taken this season.
-
Dare I say it, Benteke off?
-
And I am signing off
-
Great work Baker, I bet that stung
-
Bowery off for one of Sylla/Bannan/N'Zogbia.
Benteke seems to be a bit off, so maybe bring Bent on for him at some point.
-
Very very lucky Villa - Jones should have scored.
-
there you go lambert. change it now. they will score If you dont , need to stretch them now
-
Fuck me, that was close...
-
sylla for gabby
-
Gabby coming off. :|
-
Needs to do something now. My fingers are nearly chewed off !!
-
Gabby coming off?
-
Gabby going off apparently! I've given up trying to work out Lambert's substitutions.
-
Good to see Sylla, would like to see Bowery come off as well though.
-
make the change now please. have u not learned a thing from the past few games
-
Gabby shouldn't be off before Bowery or Benteke unless he's injured.
-
Bowery off for one of Sylla/Bannan/N'Zogbia.
Benteke seems to be a bit off, so maybe bring Bent on for him at some point.
Bannans not on the bench is he?
-
I hope that's cause he's carrying a knock (that isn't a bad on of course!)
-
Stoke are going to equalise. We've lost all our purpose. Too happy to pass it about looking for a through ball.
-
Benteke's been mugged by Huth all game.
-
Sounds like we're about to go for defence for the last twenty then. Wrong choice I think. Should have got some legs on to put them under pressure, bot bring them off.
-
Bowery off for one of Sylla/Bannan/N'Zogbia.
Benteke seems to be a bit off, so maybe bring Bent on for him at some point.
Bannans not on the bench is he?
Oh, isn't he? Good. I only added him because I assumed it likely.
-
Injury or insanity? Bowery has disappeared. We've got to get some urgency back and get this 2nd goal.
-
Rather adam on than crouch or Owen.
-
Bowery must be being kept on for his height, but he's legless now.
-
Sylla on to put his foot on the ball.
-
Nzog foe bowery must be the next change surely.
-
This is where we used to be so good away from home, get a goal on the counter
-
looking a wee bit leggy.We've stopped being a threat.Benteke's strussled against Huth/Shawcross
-
Swansea equalise Luke Moore
-
Good to see ref who understands advantage.
-
Fuck
-
zog for bowery now please
-
ffs Villa
-
Didn't see that coming.
-
Of course.
-
Poor 5 minutes and Stoke score.
Pathetic.
-
I dont have a good feeling about this.
-
That was coming, we have just got deeper.
-
Oh dear
Going bloody deep again
-
Unbe fucking leivable. HOW MANY TIMES DID WE GIVE THE BALL AWAY THERE?!!
-
It's all so predictable.
-
there you fucking go. fuck off.
-
unbelievable
-
What a surprise we'll lose this now.
-
Told you. Fucking bollock, Villa.
-
Funny that, we can all see it coming all except Lambert as we get deeper and deeper, week in week out.
-
Fuck. Been in the making for the last 10-15 min. I don't understand how we could let this match run away from us.
-
stupid fooking stupid these are shite and we start defending like twats
-
Couldn't see that coming. Fuck me...
-
Lowton diving in YET AGAIN. Sorry, he's shit.
We have utterly stopped being an attacking force in the last 10 minutes and paid the price.
-
How twatting predictable.
-
That's what happens when you lose your heads and decide to defend in your own box. Absolutely brainless.
-
How utterly predictable
-
Absolute joke. Deserve to go down.
-
Shit
-
You just knew it didn't you? How many times did we give it back to them over the last few minutes?
FFS
-
Get Bent on now
-
Every match has the same pattern. Nightmare.
-
fucked it....again
-
Pathetic, fucking pathetic
-
Wankers. Bunch of bloody wankers.
And as for Stoke!
Would be Kightly wouldn't it. If not Jerome then him. FFS.
Lambert is fucking clueless.
-
Both the fullbacks were culpable.fuckin braindead
-
Next 10 mins are huge now
-
And Lambert is to blame for thos one too. Needed changing 20 mins ago and he does fuck all.
-
Why can't we put a few passes together and kill the game? We will get beaten here now..
-
Thanks Lambert. I hope this clown is given the push ASAP. Fucking clueless tactics.
-
Bent and Zog on now. Fucking do something Lambert.
-
N'Zog on - 5 minutes too late.
-
N'Zog on - 5 minutes too late.
20.
-
too fooking late LAmbert
-
Nightmare I feel like getting sick.
Paralysis on sideline again. This change should have been made 20 mins ago.
-
It's not Lambert's fault our strikers haven't finished the chances.
-
all those missed chances. Deary deary
me
-
Needed changing 20 mins ago and he does fuck all.
Correct. Same every week.
-
There you go Charles, enjoy 9 minutes. Your about 81 minutes too late sadly.
-
Fuck off Lambert with your shit reactive not preventative tactics.
-
Shuld be miles ahead - shocking to not win this.
-
Bollox, bollox.
-
We're all over the place at the back, and panicking.
-
Stoke are really the worst team in the league easily. But how the fuck we never put 4 past them in this game is beyond...and will cost us BIG TIME!
-
Here we fucking go.
-
fook we are shit really
-
No. Composure. Whatsoever.
-
what a cock up
-
No team can afford to not make their dominance count. Piss poor. Again
-
Swansea score.
-
Get it together you bunch of useless ******.
-
Stoke are going to win this
-
gonna lose this.
disgusting.
-
And Lambert is to blame for thos one too. Needed changing 20 mins ago and he does fuck all.
Quite .
-
Going down.
-
Thank fuck for that. Get Bent on ffs. Draw isn't worth a fuck to us
-
Why are we diving in all the time?
-
benteke does not look interested in the slightest
-
Thank fuck Adam didn't take that free kick.
Pathetic 2nd half, Villa.
-
We are so weak mentally, we cannot hold our nerve and it has been happening all season, we play some good football but once it does not happen for us our heads go and we go to shit.
It is completely unforgivable.
-
Really careless to throw this game away - cannot afford to keep dropping points like this .
-
WAKE UP all of you! All this piss passing in midfield is sloppy as shit
-
We've really chucked this
-
Who went off for Zog, please?
-
Fuck off Lambert with your shit reactive not preventative tactics.
So Lambert sends out a team that plays the other lot off the park creates numerous chances only scores one of them and you are criticising his tactics? Wrong target, I think.
-
come on Bent. score!
-
This isn't a Premier League manager.
-
lambert your subs are SO LATE !!!!!!!
-
Even if we survive. I'd have no problem with Lambert being still being sacked. Him being tactically clueless isn't going to change.
-
Who went off for Zog, please?
Bowery I think
-
Fucking Francis on as a summariser is a biased bastard.
-
Who went off for Zog, please?
Bowery.
-
Liverpool is one thing but if you can't defend a win against a terrible, bottom 3 on current form, team you're asking to get relegated.
-
For once can we have a last minute winner
-
LLOOOWTTTTOOOOONNNNN
-
Fuck off Lambert with your shit reactive not preventative tactics.

Our last chance was the beginning of the half. We all saw this coming, why didn't he?
-
wahta fffoookiiinnnnnnn gooalllllllllllllll
-
Come on Villa!!!!!!!!!
-
Wow that sounded ace
-
FUCKKKKKKK
-
yessssssss
-
Yes!!!!!!
-
It's not Lambert's fault our strikers haven't finished the chances.
That may be but his selection was baffling, as was his first substitution. As is our continuing trend of not turning up in the 2nd half.
Had we started with Zogbia or even Holman playing in Bowery's position we probably would have created even more and had the game in the bag by 45 minutes. Stoke were woeful in the second half and a bit more impetus on the right could have yielded twice as many chances.
-
Like I said. Shit :)))YYYYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
boom. come on
-
WAT A FUCKINGGOAL!!!!!!
-
GET IN!!!!!!!!!
-
HOLY SHIT
-
WHAT A GOALLLLLLL LLLLOPOOOOOWWWWTOOOOONNN

-
ggooooooooolllllllllll ooooooofffffffff thhhhhhhhhhheee seaaaaaassoooooooooonnn
-
Makes up for getting caught for the goal...Super Lambert's super babbies!
-
From a corner?! Lowton hit that screamer at home to Swansea. Now, hold on Villa FFS.
-
OH MY FOOOOOKING JESUS
What a goal!!!!!!!!!!
-
Lowton has scored two goals for us, both have been basically identical but the other was with his left foot.
-
What a fucking goal...
-
Now concentrate. Stay on your bloody feet
-
If we win this, that's one of the greatest goals in the club's history, make no mistake.
-
What a goal!!!!! Hold on now!!!
-
Matty! He'll get 2 or 3 specials a year I reckon. That was impeccably timed, not just this match but this season.
Lambert owes him a pint...IF we hold on.
-
sweattyy ass ;( come on Villa
-
we can still fuck it up
-
Up yours you Stoke cheating bastards
-
Tears in my eyes as we celebrated that.
-
that was incredible!!!!!!!!
-
Chicken Lickens back in the hen-house please.
-
Use your heads,
-
That was some goal by Lowton
-
2-2 now then, eh.
-
Wow
-
Foooooooooookme!! What a goal.
-
As Merse would say.....WORLDY!
-
What the hell was that?
Unbelievable.
-
I can't bear this
-
I've got a massive delay, made that goal all the more enjoyable when you know it's coming!
-
Wait a minute is this a spin off from the conspiracy thread cos BBC sport still says 1-1
-
calm down, hold on Lads, don't let these mongrels get anything!

-
Wait a minute is this a spin off from the conspiracy thread cos BBC sport still says 1-1
Nothing to do with me.
-
C'mon Villa - Get another one!!
-
Exorcised a demon today!
-
We do things the hard way. But thank fuck. Had we not won this, we would have been kicking ourselves for ages. Never thought he was gonna miss though TBH.
-
FUCK A DUCK! VILLA YOU OCCASIONAL BEAUTIES !!
-
I've got a massive delay, made that goal all the more enjoyable when you know it's coming!
Yep. Doesnt get old either! Good lad Bentekke!!
-
Benteke down nowt all game but I don't care
-
I did predict 3-1. Never in doubt!!!!!
-
Good night Stoke you fucking c u n t s
Couldn't have put it better. The sooner these wanktards are relegated the better
-
Huth's had him all day, but just like Samba the other week he let him go just that once - and that was all he needs. Great striker, this kid.
-
Im getting pissed
-
I hope Stoke go down, fucking horrible outfit
-
Fire drill in the stadium, I see.
-
Stoke resorting to default hacking.
-
I'm still shitting myself
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
4 wins away and 4 at home this season now.
-
HAHAAHAHAHAHA. I'm so happy.
-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
-
we want 4
-
Thank fuck for that. Bentekes had a nightmare today to be fair. But that's what he gives you. He can get a goal at any time.
This is the game that's gonna keep us up. Absolutely the key game of the season that we'll look back on and think that it was what made the difference. We looked like we'd thrown 2 points away, and Stoke were looking the more likely to win it.
This has taken about 10 years off my life.
-
We put those dull ugly inbreds to the sword.
NEXT!!!!
-
Thought he'd pass then too...
So was it worth them eqaulizing just to get the joy at the end?
-
Exorcised a demon today!
Understatement of the year.
We absolutely had to do this - and we did.
-
haha Leeds style show-boating.
-
My 2 year old picked the winner of the National too today, so a good day all round :-)
-
Fire drill in the stadium, I see.
Like
-
THANK FUCK FOR THAT!!! RESULT!!!
-
get in there wonder goal ;)
-
Obviously PL knows what he is doing....
-
This, 2nd place each way bet in the National AND my wife says we can have a Chinese takeaway, despite the diet. What a brilliant afternoon!
-
MASSIVE (never in doubt)
-
Obviously PL knows what he is doing....
Believe!

Former Stoke striker Garth Crooks on Final Score
"Christian Benteke has been a fantastic signing for Aston Villa. Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann support him so well.
"Their impending win means they have a real chance now. Their performance today from the first whistle has been first class."
Was he even watching?
-
Good night my babies. I love you all.
-
My 2 year old picked the winner of the National too today, so a good day all round :-)
Can you get him to rattle off 6 numbers between 1 & 49 then I'll go down the newsagents?
-
I did predict 3-1. Never in doubt!!!!!
Same as.

The sign of a great striker.

I'd sell my arse for a win today.
How much did you get?
