Aston Villa v Southampton Post-Match Thread

[Apyadg]

Lambert is using what he has, unfortunately 6 or 7 players arent really all that good. Its out of the managers hand what players do in terms of making the right choices with a pass, a shot etc

McLeish did better with, essentially, the same team.

Really....Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Hutton, Cuellar, Petrov (half season), Heskey :-) etc

Warnock and Hutton are still available, but TSM2 won't even let them train with the first team never mind have a game, despite how shit the rest of the team is.

Also, wasn't he already our manager when we sold Cuellar and Collins?

Afternoon all...

In my minds eye we are going down this season unfortunately...
To my surprise I'm not even angry, I've got to the point where the on field stuff doesn't matter to me at the moment, I'm more focused on the way our club is being run.
Mr Lerner needs to go, I want him out of our club, our problems have been on going for more than three years now and no signs of any improvement..
Sell up Mr Lerner you will make a tidy profit and Aston Villa will be able to move forward instead of going backwards...
I have lost faith in Paul Lambert but no point changing manager until the very top of the club is fixed...

Also Delph was great today.

Some people need to learn to think for themselves.

Ai mades some crucial tackles and some not bad over the top balls for Chris and Andi to latch on to.

You just can't please some people.

I know it's off topic but does anyone know how to turn off the warning you get telling you that new replies have been posted whenever I try to post something? It's so annoying.

Warnock is sitting at home twiddling his balls whilst we churn various donkeys out at left back. Stephens, Lichaj or Bennett, take your pick they're all weak links/disasters.

Warnock is no world beater, but he's better than what we have. Unless he's taken a shit in Cowans porridge or defaced a Paul McGrath picture then I can't work out for the life of me why we are cutting our own noses off and treating certain players worse than I'd treat Trevor Francis.

Bent's the same, he needed a kick up the backside, not a fucking hand grenade in his boxers. We dont have much to work with and Lamberts made it worse for himself.

Lambert is fine it is the journeyman players who want the money but do not put in the effort for it that are the problem.
Where is Ron V?? Still injured?

How exactly can you say "lambert is fine"? Seriously. He's been a complete disaster!

I think the Liverpool game (and to a lesser extent Norwich) is clouding a lot of fans' judgement on Lambert. We haven't suddenly appeared in the relegation scrap. We have been down the bottom all season. Which suggests we've been poor all season. And now we are playing so badly it will take a miracle to save us from relegation.

Lambert was my first choice in the summer. He may well have a long career as a manager. But he is doing a terrible job as Aston Villa manager. I am on the brink of changing my mind about sacking him. Unless we get something from West Brom he simply has to go.

Every other team will have an awful lot of money too. Complaints about lack of funds from people not going to the game isn't going to keep the team up. If you make less than everyone at work and you all get a 25% raise, you still make less than everyone at work.

It takes a very special kind of person to come on here and blame the supporters.  Well done.

Was on the bench

We need him back, and soon!! Plus we need another quality mid-field player!

[Chipsticks]

Good:
- Guzan
- Lowton
- Clark
- Baker
- Stephens
- Bannan
- N'Zogbia
- Westwood

Average:
- Weimann
- Gabby
- Bowery
- Holman

Poor:
- Benteke
- Delph

We weren't even that bad, we created plenty of chances but just couldn't take them. Our entire game plan is based around lumping it at Benteke, and that's fine when he's on form, but I'm starting to get worried about the amount of sitters he has missed recently, he had 3 or 4 great chances at Bradford and another 2 today.

Are you deluded?

Are you really saying that 8 of our players had a good game today? 10 manic minutes at the end of a game does not a good performance make.

If 8 players on our pitch today played well today we would have taken them to the cleaners.

I knew people would disagree with me but these are just my personal opinions. Luck and a poor refereeing decision lost us the game today.

In the second half we did 'take them to the cleaners', but our goal scorer failed us.

[hawkeye]

So in 19 days we are going to recruit a new manager who is going to sign the right players to keep us in the league?

Really?

Stupid

By special you mean brave, naive or completely oblivious of the situation?
