Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Post-Match Thread

[richard moore]

That's enough for me now. How terribly sad and yet utterly terribly boring. We need a change from top to bottom. Lambert needs to go and Lerner needs to look for buyers. This club is tumid with lethargy and mediocrity.

Agree totally Maz. I don't recognise the club at all and indeed haven't for an awful long time now

[Lamb_Stockmix]

We need a better manager and more money. Very simple and very possible.

[Boz]

I've already predicted a 3-1 win but I'm feeling even more confident now and I'll go for a 5-1 Villa win. I can't believe the level of negativity on here, we're talking about Palace, the worst team in the league. If we can't beat them today we may as well close up. We may be a crap footballing side but today we'll shine.

Optimism from the pre match thread. If Palace are the worst, doesn't say much for Villa.

Id have bloody Glen Hoddle than this

Time to change your sig.

[Goldie.7]

We haven't won a Boxing Day match since 2005. 0-0 or 0-1 them

Obvious exactly how it was going to go. Pathetic performance.

I really think he wants it to be better.

I really think he has signed some players who will turn out to have good Villa careers.

I really think he sees that the style of play isn't good enough.

However, he clearly does not know what to do. He signs players who can play good passing football, but has no idea how to coach them to do it. So sometimes they pass the ball well kind of by accident, but mostly they're clueless and aimless in possession. For that reason alone, he cannot continue. If he won't improve, then he must go.

He's an embarrassment to this once proud football club.

Think Hoddle would be a decent shout.

We'd end up with Souness. Sir Purplenose would write a letter to Lerner and Faulkner saying what a great job he did for Liverpool

[Uknowthescore]

Simply not good enough.   Lerner cant be blind to this, surely?

If he doesn't go then it proves that Lerner does not give a shit , depressing ain't the word

[JUAN PABLO]

Think Hoddle would be a decent shout.

we might see our team back . This is upset me more than any other  result and theres been some bad ones under Lambert

[Tony Erdington]

The writings on the wall.

if not this season, next!

Lerner has to back lambert, and if he fails sack him, and get someone else in.

[martin o`who??]

Thats it then Lerner, he`s had enough time, if someone can point out to me where we are improving, i`ll listen. Tipping point meet Aston Villa, Aston Villa meet tipping point, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!..............

[russon]

That was absolutely pathetic. Shameful stuff, Guzan saved us from a hiding and if Bannan had weighted a couple of passes better it'd have been worse. I take my hat off to Bannan, he'd walk into our team at the moment but then so would my 11 month old son Ernie (and he can't walk yet).

I'm struggling to understand how we could have gone so far backwards from the end of last season, but this is s bad as anything I can remember since 86-87.  I don't think many managers would retain support after this season's home performances alone, and we're as bad away recently.  All the other strugglers look like they have some fight and a clue or two.  We have neither at the moment.  It's going to be a long hard winter unless Lerner makes a change.

[Tuscans]

Villa have lived in the stone ages for years. We need someone who knows about the game of now and not yesteryear....Hoddle shouts that!.
