Stoke City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[not3bad]

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

LOSING!!  One 'O'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What the fuck do people keep spelling it 'loosing' for???

[SamTheMouse]

I didn't see the match, but if I were to just rewatch the previous two games, would that pretty much cover it?

A manager that is tactically lost when his one tactic does not work, a team of tryers who are not good enough, but that team put together by this manager, sorry Paul you are out of your depth, you took over from TSM but you are just him, with a nicer personality, Please now leave. We are going nowhere apart from down the table, next two games at home and who would give us a chance of more than two points if we are lucky.

Worst team in 20 years.

Not even close

With an added goal I suppose.

All you need to know about Lambert and his "tactics" - his response to Bradford scoring at Villa Park  - I am sorry but he really isn`t very good.
Before you ask - what is the alternative? Whoever he is - we can`t afford him !
The Lerner "dream" of a bright future is failing and he does not appear to be interested - similar to his reaction at the Browns.
I am really concerned about the future of my club right now.

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

We are woefully bad.

The most depressing thing for me is that I don't think he would sack him even if we lose the  next 3 games .

[enigma]

I don't know how Lambert has managed it but over the last few weeks he's made us worse to watch than we were under McLeish. That takes some doing.

We're not seeing any sort of progress at all which is starting to really bother me. In fact it's the opposite. Most of our players are getting worse which is a real concern.

[darren woolley]

That was painful let's put it behind us and move on to Crystal Palace.

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.

I agree with this completely. Villa are killing any love of football I have at the moment. It is very, very depressing.

Same for me.

[saunders_heroes]

We lose on Boxing day and I'm afraid that's it for Lambert.

I'm no fan of Lambert either, but who would take over knowing our beloved absent chairman has lost all interest in investing in genuine Premier League class players? We've stripped the squad of all quality and replaced them with out of the depth lower league players and cheap foreigners. This is the worst set of players I've seen at Villa since we were relegated in '87.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

I think we're almost there. Just need to sort out the defence, midfield and attack.

In a terrible mood but this just made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

[richard moore]

Worst team in 20 years.

Not even close

I agree, 5 years out, easily 25 years

[curiousorange]

Either way, Lerner has to spend - if he sacks Lambert, he needs to back a new bloke, and if he doesn't, he needs to back Lambert.

Personally, I think he needs to make available some serious cash and demand it's spent on two players of genuine quality.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I can't see us winning any game we play.

We'll be closer to relegation this season, if not relegated.
