Stoke City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Jon Crofts]

Safest job in football, fucking disgraceful.

[supertom]

I don't like this plan. It's only gonna end one way, as Wigan saw. We're in a scrap again. Our better players will leave because frankly we're a sinking ship. We're not being stabilised.

Today Albrighton and Kozak earned their money today. The rest can face the fiering squad for all I care.

Pathetic. Lambert hasn't got a clue.

And now we have two home games. Brilliant. We're even worse at home.

Shit but we must give Lambert till the end of January.

He can fuck off right now as far as I'm concerned. Boring and clueless, worst Villa team I have seen in nigh on 25 years

[eastie]

Poor stuff again and lambert really needs to get this team playing in the next 3 games - if we continue in this way a lot more people will start to turn on him - we have injuries but in truth we have a very poor side and squad and the buck stops with him.

He decided to pack his team with young inexperienced players and shied away from experienced heads - a big  fortnight ahead of us .

We are not a midtable side - we are a poor side slipping into trouble .

[Monty]

Christ.  That was the kind of performance which hacks away at a lot of goodwill. They are not a good side, but we were just appalling, absolutely appalling, and so were the 'tactics' - Lambert cannot get away from this one, it was just so incoherent.

[Witton Warrior]

Whoever's responsible, fuck off. You've had your chances, and you're shit. Owner, manager, whoever, I don't care. I don't even care that we lost. I'm not even angry, and that's worse, because I expected us to play shit and lose.

It's getting like that for me - turning up at home matches already numbed - watching the usual dire performance - follow the away "performances" and sigh as the dull horror unfolds - see you Wednesday

[David_Nab]

Utter shite to be honest we only a few players coming out of it with any credit.

Thats now 9 goal's conceded since Vlaar went of at HT against Soton.We are an utter shambles the second goal once again came from a cross where the FB where no where to be seen.Tonev was totally ineffective only to be replaced with the equal less effective Bowery.

Boxing day loss to Palace and I suspect it will turn nasty for Lambert however Lerner should take the blame too.That a club who has been in the PL since the inception to be relying on 250k buys from Chesterfield to change a game is an utter joke.

[Jimbo]

Comfortably shit.

[mrfuse]

I feel like Bill Murray reaching for his alarm clock in Punxsutawney

lol

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Crap again. Is Lerner bothered when we play shit or is he just happy the wage bill has been cut down?

I said these next four games will make my mind up about Lambert. I think I already know the answer.

[Walmley_Villa]

Regardless of the results we are a poorer team than last season. I'm really not enjoying the playing side of the club. Things must improve as with the injuries and lack of quality we will soon be fighting amongst the dead men again.

[curiousorange]

Switch everything off now to do with football...until the next match.

That's what's shit. Villa make me hate football. I take no pleasure from watching good football, because of envy, and I take no pleasure from watching a team like Palace lose, because we're no better, and possibly worse.

[mrfuse]

I can take loosing games but its the way we are loosing.

No shape No sign of a plan No fucking clue!

[supertom]

Shit but we must give Lambert till the end of January.

I don't trust his judgement.
He bleats on about having a footballing side but most of his signings can't control, pass or dribble a football. It's pathetic. Once Benteke goes, others will follow, and how often will he sign a Benteke?
I like Kozak and we paid good money for him, but is he good enough to lead a solid Prem side? Not sure. As a squad player, he's decent enough. First 11, week in, week out? No.

He's got to get Jan right. It's his last chance. Personally I see Lambert taking us down, more than I can envision him making us competitive again. He's way out of his depth in this league.

[dicedlam]

Lerner needs to stump up some serious cash this transfer window.

We are woefully bad.
