How would you feel....

[ChicagoLion]

No we don't. Anyone can remove their previous vote and then vote for a different option if they want to.

Thanks

I have now voted for him to stay - obviously

[PaulWinch again]

He has actually had some money to spend in his time at Villa and he hasn't actually spent it very well at all on the whole.

[Irish villain]

I think we should stop kidding ourselves that if we stick with him he will prove to be our Moyes.

When he joined, I thought he would instill resilience and at least build a decent midfield given that he was a good midfielder himself.

However, I am not sure we can sack him because this squad of players are his players. It's not like your typical under performing premier league squad where a new man can come in and get a reaction. These players may just not be good enough and a new man probably won't get much more out of them. In fact, a new man would more likely shake their own self.

We aren't in a good position at all.

Randy needs to appoint a new Project Manager. I fucking hate Lambert.

[Louzie0]

Still 11th.
Anybody new would have to improve on that. Immediately. What would be the point in replacing PL if whoever came in didn't do better, and to achieve this halfway through the season as well would be asking a lot.

I was feeling quite positive about the overall progress since last season (especially since the Sunderland win seemed to end a horrible run) before the last couple of days' press onslaught.

Hoping that Villa don't throw the baby out with the bath water and that Benteke finds his scoring boots soon. He has got so close the last couple of matches. It would be even better to have Vlaar for a run of matches, and definitely to buy some confidence and experience, because our lads appear to be low on both.

It's PL's responsibility to get them back and firing rather than giving up, and he seemed to have cracked that last week. I am so angry about this result, and there's no way PL is going to dodge his duty to put it right, as there was no reason to lose today, poisonous media notwithstanding.

Lambert is on a par with Mcleish now, because make no mistake our side is just as bad going forward.

But we were very lucky against Sunderland, that was a race to the bottom by 2 awful teams.

The table is very tight - all of the bottom half are in danger of dropping - 6 points off the relegation zone with some tough fixtures ahead is far from comfortable .
I expect to be in the bottom 6 in a fortnight a time .

Wrong.  McLeish had a plan and was able to instil that plan in his players, as bad as the plan and the football was he was able in that respect, Lambert however seems incapable.

[ozzjim]

Disappointed it didn't work, I really wanted it to, but to be honest right now there would be some relief as we are having too many poor performances and results under him. I don't think he will go though.

We were not lucky against Sunderland, we had the much better chances, and their keeper made the better saves, but I agree with the above.

I have sympathy - loising a 3rd centre half just before kick off is a big blow, but the decision to bring in Tonev seems odd to me. Mainly though, he has to start winning at Villa Park, and seemingly has no clue how to do that no matter who we play. 3-5-2 and dominate midfield and free up a striker at home to a league 1 side? Nope, rigid with his 4-3-3 that has not a chance of working with Weimann way out of form and IMO talent, and there being such little to stretch the opposition.

[Irish villain]

We are 11th which sounds great until you realise we are ten points off Newcastle in 8th and six ahead of Palace who are 18th.

[curiousorange]

What I can't understand is people shrugging their shoulders and saying 'who are we going to get that's better?', like we're playing boring, functional football. We play terrible, suicidal football, and tactically, Lambert doesn't have an inkling of how to make a good side.

I'm not saying get anyone, because there are clearly people unsuitable for the job. But anyone with a bit of purpose or tactical nous would surely improve us right now? I think Paulie's right - he's still here, because it costs too much to replace him. That's so sad.

11th sounds great??? We're shit and without the luck we'd be much lower.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Has he gone yet?

[Louzie0]

Tbh CL, luck goes both ways doesn't it. Benteke going off the boil for so long, and the goals generally drying up. Not to mention the injuries. There was an unbeaten run of 5 matches around Oct/nov, and the defence has improved since last season (going by goal difference) I was expecting an up and down season, but today has been dire!
