Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[olaftab]

Is this the same inept clueless man who ripped apart mancity and Norwich away?

Counts for nothing when you lose to a league 2 team in the semi final.

And it would be nice if we could actually win a game in the league sometime soon.

Yes agreed its shocking behind belief that we have been knocked out by a team from the fourth tier but problem at Villa is bigger than Lambert. There  were very good reasons why we appointed him and those reasons are still valid.

Risso most of us wanted him, I not happy mate wasted £100 quid coming to what that shite.

But I am struggling to see appointing yet another manager would solve .


Issue Faulkner and that hermit and how they run us into ground, sacking him won't fix it

What reasons?

Tonight is close to the tipping point for me.  I've voted to keep him before, I still inexplicably have this gut feeling that he has something to offer, that he could be a really good manager, and that somehow he will keep us up, even though I can't see how we could bribe our way to a PL win at the moment.  But then you look at that complete tactical ineptitude tonight,  and in the first leg as well, you look at the 23m pounds worth of signings who mostly look sub-standard, and you look at the bizarre refusal to play with any proper width, and you look at the total failure to address our weaknesses at set pieces, both attacking and especially defending .  And this business of going 4-1-5 or 4-0-6 when chasing a game, it's absolute schoolyard stuff that has no place at the top level of English football.  And it's hard to justify supporting him any longer.

Back to back promotions and 12th in the Prem first go.. that's pretty impressive.

[Walmley_Villa]

Until the problems at the top are sorted out the manager is irrelevant. We've been asset stripped of our best players and the austerity agenda is leading us into the abyss. No idea what they think we can achieve paying low wages and thinking the academy can produce enough good players to sustain us.

[caster troy]

A 10 year old with some FIFA experience would have made a better fist of that final half hour... OUT!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

If someone could tell me what he's trying to do with our team, then I might vote to keep him. I, and the players it seems, have no fucking clue.

Under MON, you knew you'd be tight and get the ball forward quick to play on the counter. Under GH, he tried to make us pass the ball and under TSM it was all about defending and playing not to lose.

Under PL, what are we trying to do? I don't get it.

[VillaAlways]

Randy isn't ambitious enough to sack him. He clearly couldn't give a fuck . He has turned us into a complete and utter laughing stock.

[myf]

his appointment was such an opportunity to galvanise villa after the dross of houllier and mcleish. its remarkable that we've actually regressed especially when he's  brought in some good players in benteke lowton and vlaar. i really thought wed be mid table but his tactics have been frightening to say the least

Agree with this 100%
God knows who we could get in but can't see how Lambert will improve us now.

Adkins almost did that and got sacked.

[Ross]

These "its irrelevant who the manager is" posts beggar belief. No matter what he has to work with, the fact he can't organise the players he has into any sort of order is a disgrace. There are plenty of managers with less resources doing MUCH better.

Pretty much where I'm at. 

[ciggiesnbeer]

I genuinely dont know how to fix our problems. We have spent money (sorry but we have), changed manager, changed players. Its actually got worse.

Buggered if I know. I hope the club have a clue.
