Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

[Clampy]

Ad just to repeat, the singling out of bannan is way over the top. I'd still have played delph. But he made one really stupid error and otherwise passed the ball well.

I thought he was piss poor yesterday but i have to agree. He's become a bit of an easy target. N'Zogbia cost us £10m and has'nt done a great deal to justify us paying it but i don't see a 20 odd page thread on him.

Very occasionally we get a decent performance out of N'Zogbia but I'm struggling to remember Bannan dishing up anything of note. Hate to say it but he's a complete waste of space.

Very occasionally for someone who cost £10m is not good enough.

The one thought I cannot seem to shake off is why the fuck did Baker make that tackle?

Very true, but he's still better than Bannan (which isn't difficult I know).

It was naive in the extreme - utterly ridiculous and makes me wonder what the hell the defensive coaches work on during the week.

Rush of blood probably. He isn't and probably never will be Premier League class and it shows. Makes the decision not to strengthen the defence in January look even more bizarre.

Bannan wasnt good enough in the lower league on loan - he is nowhere near good enough to start in a premier league side.

Its like the Nazcar Lines, nobody will ever know why Baker made the tackle he did.

The post and Steven Gerrards head apart, it was the only difference and alas the only one that matters.

Agree, just cannot cut it. Makes the odd good pass and is tidy on the ball, but is too small and slow to make an impact on games. The general play passes him by and spends most matches chasing shadows.

I think we needed Delph in there about twenty minutes before he came on. Bannan just isn't up to it for me either.

Yes sort of "get in" whilst you can as humble pie is cooking up nicely and hopefully will be waiting for some!

Humble pie? Even if we avoid relegation it has been a horrendous awful season and certainly I don't think humble pie will be the order of the day - I'd be hoping people look at the season and question how the hell did things go so badly and make sure not to happen again than be celebrating wildly should we stay up

This is aston villa not wigan !

Absolutely, this season will end being either utter crap or utterly disasterous, with the only saving graces of 2 class forwards (who probably won't be with us much longer) and a class keeper!

I think Delph needed to come on at half time. The fact that Sylla was'nt as good as he was in the previous two games did'nt help either.

Agreed , lambert should have  brought Delph on at half time for bannan and many people were in agreement  about that at half time.

[Ron Manager]

To sum up. Once again we looked a top half side ....for one half. Its happened for about the sixth time this season.

Forget Baker and forget Agbonlahors miss and forget Weimanns miss can someone explain why we appeared to give up?

Why was Agbonlahor(who had a fine first half) laughing after his miss, that didnt add up in any way.

It will be a struggle to stay up but despite Lambert saying positive things about everybody and everything which doesnt ring true I think we will just make it by possibly one point.

Lamberts coaching staff (mates) do not appear to be having an effect on the players in any way.

Lambert himself like (Martin O'Neill) may not be good enough for a historic club like Aston Villa.

and yes the Liverpool supporters and their manager were very good in acknowledging the 19th minutes applause for our captain.
