WBA v Aston Villa Match Thread

What a midfield - no pace, no power, no guts, no aggression. How the hell Lambert can keep playing them week after week when surely he can see it.

[Boz]

Clarke is a better manager than Lambert. he's produced a side from players that on paper are worse than Villa's but we're making them look much better than they are. Villa are just playing crap no idea football, if you can call it football.

We need a reversal of last year with a 2 goal come back by Villa.

Everyone needs to calm down, this is a work in progress, we have young, hungry (not quality) players out there, they're only kids, they're still learning.

[Steve R]

Too many of our players simply aren't good enough at this level. Getting comfortably dicked by Albion - ALBION ffs. What on earth has become of our club. 

I didn't get where I am today by being dicked by a yam yam.

[Matt C]

On the bright side we are not out of this yet and we should be.

[Bully2345]

First thing, if Herd is the answer then I don't know what the question is.

The shape is confused. I'm not sure where Sylla is supposed to be playing and has therefore had the worst half of football I can ever remember a Villa player having.

Make changes and keep it simple. Let's get some shape

[Matt Collins]

We've started a lot of games at half pace this season & you can't get away with it every week.

We started with 3 at the back & we've got fucked almost every time we've played that system. Why does Lambert think we can play with 3 at the back? Baker is shit with the ball at his feet & has little or no awareness of attackers around him. He's great at recovery or last ditch challenges but that shows how poor a defender he is. Clarke is only marginally better.

The less said about Tonev the better.

Too many players who are not good enough or not ready at this level.

Bottom line is we are piss poor, lack quality & Lambert is tactically just as bad.

Started with three at the back? Not from where I'm sitting

That line up doesnt scare the shit out of me mind. I see Shane Long ultimately survived Hutton's tackle to take part tonight.

Payback time methinks.

You sad fuck. On an another clubs during a game. Not that your are obsessed or anything. Is it cold at the game?

That's just a bit sad mate.  You're beating your neighbours and you're on here.

It's half time, we can still fuck this up!!!! 2-4

[Ross]

No fucking changes. Incredible.

[eric woolban woolban]

There is a case for any three from ten being substituted.

And clueless leaves it as it is.

[JUAN PABLO]

robbie mustoe manages the team better tan lambert

[boboonthecorner]

No changes........ Third before the 50th minute then substitutions.

[darren woolley]

Not good we need to improve in second half.

[Tuscans]
