Some chap won festival tickets at half time. That was nice.
Must be the most positive I've felt after a 2-0 defeat! Here's why...Nobody will be left in any doubt how popular Cleverly is after the crowd's reaction to his substitution. There's an outside chance we won't see him in a Villa shirt. No bitterness it just didn't work out. I think he may need to try the Championship to find his level.The same cannot be said for Carles Gil! Very promising debut and the crowd love him already!The introduction of Gil served as a catalyst for good second half performances from Sanchez, Delph and Hutton. The midfield were passing and moving! There were even flashes of impudent skill near the end! OK, this would be more enjoyable to watch if we weren't losing but the fact that the players had the confidence to play like this is very heartening.However you feel about Lambert he looks like he may again have proved that when he's got a reasonable amount of money to spend, he can pick a player.Next week is a good time to have a cup match. The players won't feel the same pressure they do when playing in the league and I believe we'll see a good performance and a good win. This will be a great boost for the remainder of the season.Nurse! Where's my meds!!
Yep people getting a bit giddy over Gil, he did ok but it's going to take much more than Gil to turn this around .
We mustn't lose our minds over Gil - he's a pretty good player it seems, and let's hope he does well, but we can't expect him to be a genius every week. What he is is something we haven't had in a really, really long time - I just don't trust Lambert to use him correctly at all.
Whether Lambert has the imagination to build on the flashes we saw in the second half is a big question, especially as it should mean dropping Cleverley and Westwood for a start.

Think Westwood may still have a part to play but it's pointless playing him and Cleverly in the same side as they're too similar.
