WBA v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Tuscans]

Baker is getting dicked on BIG TIME

[Fergal]

Why the fuck is Benteke playing in midfield?

We have a midfield?

Yea Benteke...

[PeterWithesShin]

KEA off Lowton on and Bacuna into MF would be a start.

[AVFCRob]

Why no subs yet Lambert. He really is a donkey.

It makes no sense based on our recent history to sack the manager but I despair when he talks about how well we played against Cardiff. We were wretched against Cardiff until one moment of class lit up an extremely poor game. The midfield of Sylla, Westwood, Tonev and El Ahmadi have nothing to offer and certainly have no guile or craft to create chances for the forwards.

Westwood and El Ahmadi in particular....I'm feeling a visceral loathing for them both. Seeing them on the team sheet now, particularly together, is just an act of provocation by Lambert.

[Rigadon]

The thing is, Albion are really average.  If we get one, we're back in it.

[PaulWinch again]

KEA saves them there, well done Karim.

[eastie]

Dear Paul,

They're all over us. Please do something about it.

Thanks in advance,

I agree on benteke in the hole.

Sylla is just giving the ball away and baker just bought a dummy like it was maradona. I do agree he just isn't good enough. Westwood is nitting it together butt they're running through him too easily

Fucking hell baker stop ball watching.

Funny thing is we've actually created some decent attacking situations. Looks a bit congested though with our formation

[supertom]

Lambert really is annoyingly clueless sometimes. When it comes down to match changing decisions he's mostly too little too late or never. And unlike O Neill he's not got the quality of squad to paper over those cracks.

It's okay though, we've got Bowery on the bench to change the game at 85 minutes.

[SamTheMouse]

Just got in...

Considering going back out again...

[ciggiesnbeer]

KEA at least has been working. Westwood and Sylla have just been hanging out.

[Rigadon]

Jesus.  Tonev is so ineffectual. 

[badminton]

No idea what Lambert sees in Tonev.

[Dave Cooper please]

Never got that high pitched "Villa Villa" chant they do. Basically they are having a go at us for having loads of kids that want to support us! Strange.

[Ross]

Baker is the shittist centre back I've ever seen at Villa. And I've seen Carl Tiler.
