What is a defensive midfielder? I may be from the old school but don't understand it. Was Dennis Mortimer or Gordon Cowans the defensive midfielder? Lets get a grip, I understand Claude Makale being a sitting midfielder in a top team, but we are Aston fecking Villa. I got slagged off after having a go at the manager after the Blues game as I think he fecked up first half, think most people would not disagree now. However, I will back Sherwood for now but he has to sort things out pretty soon

Bremner could run all day and to be honest with our front three in 81/82 it didnt matter, we would just out score the opposition. Great days.Westwood. Very average and would be at home in th championship. Three years ago I thought he would be our Mortimer, how wrong I was
Should never have been brought here in the first place. His career before being hoisted into the PL was spent in the bottom tier of the Football League. For Lambert's 'young and hungry' read 'cheap and may have some potential'. Not good enough then and not good enough now. Way out of his depth, offers nothing, and the fact he gets picked every week beggars belief. He either looks like Messi in training or he's got some incriminating files on people.
