Negativity

[LeeB]

Any negativity I feel is in direct proportion to the amount of times I see 'El Ahmadi' on the team sheet.

I'd like to dismiss this, but i'm afraid I agree.

The same goes for Clark, but I'd argue the El Ahmadi issue hurts us more as a team.

Totally agree mate. It's like Lambert has ignored what Sylla did at the end of last season.

Agree with above, it's bad enough we're without Okore, but if we have to see Clark over Baker and KEA over Sylla for the next few months I'll be pretty depressed.  Okore's injury also highlights the risk of entering the season with only 1 right back, if Lowton suffered the same injury I wouldn't fancy a season of Bacuna or Herd at right back.

A narrow formation and playing without wingers is thoroughly depressing.

Sylla was injured for the Arsenal game and in fairness KEA came in and did ok and was fairly decent against a very attack minded Chelsea midfield as well. He was dropped for the Liverpool match when Lambert gave Bacuna a run but he probably felt KEA deserved another crack against Newcastle. I don't see any harm in that too be honest.

Be interesting to see what changes he does at the weekend, he's brought in these players during the summer to give himself more options,and as a couple of the team are under performing i hope he brings in some new faces.

"Of course Lambert sees what everyone else sees but he hasn’t the wit or talent to do anything about it. Norwich were statistically the team that hit the most long balls when Lambert was manager there, he’s now playing the same way at VP, he can’t recognise that things have moved on from when he played in the 70′s and 80′s just like McKnob couldn’t, he’s not a modern manager who can adapt his tactics. The comparisons with ginger are easy, both have limited ( one ) way of playing, neither can take criticism, both have very little talent and hopefully, very soon, both will be able to say that their EX managers of Aston Villa."

People are entitled to boo when you'be been by and large absolute bollocks for 3 years straight. Take out the handfull of matches each season where we've turned in a 90 minute performance and what you're left with is perennial relegation strugglers. So how is it being reactionary or fickle to vent against yet again another shit performance, some people need their heads checking out how apathethetic do we need to be as to not rock the boat and be fickle.

That was one of the worst things that wanker O'Leary did down the Villa, introduce the perception that we are fickle. There aren't many if any supporters up and down the country that would accept 6 home wins in 36.

Lambert must be in the record books as the youngest ever player to play professional football if he was playing in the 70's. Lol.

That's the beauty about football, it's all about opinions.

And the opinion of some bell-end that's never kicked a ball in his life is utterly fucking irrelevant.

The greatest captain this club has ever had once said to me that the trouble with modern football is that it's too easy for supporters to have their say. This was before blogs and social media so I don't think he was right then, but he's absolutely correct now.

Very true, kea got the chance due to sylla a injury and he played well so didnt deserve to be left out , now though there is no question that his last performance was poor and sylla must replace him .

There have been several underperformers in recent games and Lowton, Westwood and Weimann should all be looking over their shoulders on current form.
 
I was surprised when lambert chose bacuna in midfield rather than sylla , bacuna may be better at right back than as a midfielder.

Sylla was an integral part of our revival and must return to the team now he is fit.

I take it you are referring to Dennis Mortimer whose comments surprise me - the fans contribute a lot towards the club and are entitled to have their say .

He may well be a "bell-end" but his comments shouldn't just be ignored because he hasn't kicked a ball in his life before.
