Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Post-Match Thread

[Tuscans]

I can't wait for his interview....

You just know he will say how pleased he was! Destest the guy, please please resign

That's why I can't wait because if he spurts out the same old tosh then he can just clear his locker straight after the interview

[Irish villain]

I know we had a bad, bad team before Lambert joined but has he possibly made it worse!?

Judging by this season...I think he has.

We had an underperforming team when he arrived which he then dismantled immediately.

Lerner needs to grow a pair and dismiss him straight away. So pissed off with this garbage

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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.

Agree 100%, Monty. It's no so much the players as the pathetic, clueless, idiotic, negative tactics of Lambert that is holding back the team.

Bored, disappointed. gutted with the result, appalled by the performance.

You would have to be completely blind to not see by now that the team is not being utalised in a positive manner.

Yes, the squad is shit. Lambert has spent our money poorly on the whole but the most worrying thing is the way the team approach a game, even lower league sides can come out with a game plan, a set way of playing, a way the manager thinks the side is most likely of scoring a goal. Playing to your strengths. We don't, there is nothing when we step on the pitch.

I've been a Lambert out advocate since last January. He has done nothing in the 18 months he's been here to make me want otherwise, apart from going on a Wigan style relegation avoiding run, big deal.

I want to see the team pass the ball, I want to see the players move, I want to see corner, free kick, throwin and passing moves you can see we've worked on in the training ground.

We don't see anything of the sort. I lhave no idea what must go on in training, on a day to day basis for us to freeze like statues and not be able to pass the ball more than 5 yards forward.

Lambert must go, it's not a knee jerk reaction it's 18 months of on the whole terrible football, lack of goals, chuckle brother defending and transfers that defy logic at times.

Buy lower league players, get lower league football. We are on the path to the Championship.

Lambert out.

That late winner by Palace has only cost us one point and might be well worth the misery if it acts as a wake up call for Lerner to release the funds (in a Darren-Bent-style-panic) for Lambert to spend on a decent midfielder or two.

Do we want him spending the money though...not sure I trust him with it and neither should Randy...who needs a kick up the arse himself..

No he's said often enough experience guarantees nothing - I want someone who wants to bring older heads in to help the team not pack it with players inexperienced in this league.

[Villafirst]

I can't wait for his interview....

We go again....

[saunders_heroes]

This is quite simply the worst Villa team I've ever seen, and it's gonna end in relegation if Lerner's penny pinching continues.

[Tuscans]

I can't wait for his interview....

We go again....

He go again please

[littlevillain]

37k at game and we've been called fickle!  thats amazing support for a crap team playing against a bottom 3 club .

[darren woolley]

Woeful, Poor, Shit whatever you want to say that is us at the moment.

[richard moore]

For me the writing was on the wall weeks ago and I got patronised to death by several posters for suggesting we had robbed the three points from Southampton and wouldn't keep getting away with it. I was further patronised after the FUlham game.

We are one point better off than last year and getting worse.

That was a dreadful performance. I don't even know if we can sack the manager though. And get who? We put all our eggs in one basket with this strategy, a new manager will want a few quick fixes to keep us up...and then what?

I think so much damage has been done since 2010 that we will be relegated at some stage. If we change strategy now that will take a lot of time to get right.  Other clubs around us are building. We are just a sinking ship.

A complete shambles from top to bloody bottom is what we are. Could have been 2-0 or 3-0 easily.

you were indeed Irish. I couldn't believe the guy who was patronising us after the Stoke debacle and some on here even thought it was the post of the month or the year. Personally, I'd never read such utter crap given the abysmal, embarrassing, pathetic state of things at the club

[Steve67]

I have two questions for you.  1, would you actually trust Lambert to spend another penny even if Lerner does support him in the transfer window?

2, honestly, is today's result really a shock?  I predicted a goalless draw, many expected Pulis to come and bore us to death.  This is the very worst Aston Villa team that I have seen since, well, since I started watching them in 1976.

 I have to say i'm still in the undecided camp with PL.That game was heading to a 0-0, until an unbelievable goal, and but for a poor piece of play from Weimann, we probably would have won the game.

 However, the quality of the football is incredibly poor, indeed the quality of the player is incredibly poor, Gabby, Weimann, Albrighton offered nothing today, the two FBs are hiding, and KEA and Delph , have'nt really got a killer pass on them, hence we resort to a hoof and hope.If Hoddle was available and interested, then personally i would be quite happy with that, but i would'nt be too disappointed if PL goes, i think 18 months into his tenure, we should be a lot better than this.

[JUAN PABLO]

Id have bloody Glen Hoddle than this

Time to change your sig.

youre right Pal    Peter was on drugs
