Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Post-Match Thread

[levico]

just heard Lambert say I dont run away from anything and Im not running away from this  ... ffs

as long as we maintain that work rate and effort      ..    ffs

what about your tactics     what about getting a proper coaching team ?

He doesn't have to run away............... Walking would be fine by me, as long as it is brisk.

[JUAN PABLO]

But if we lose to Swansea and Sunderland that's 7 on the bounce. Has any manager ever lost 7 in a row and not lost his job!?

With arsenal Liverpool and everton to come next

cant wait for Suarez against Baker

Gerrard , Henderson and Coutinho against KEA and Westwood ;(

[Morten]

When you go through all 18 games this season, how many have we actually deserved to win ? 2 or 3 perhaps ? That is shocking. I cannot think of a game that we have controlled and won comfortably, it really is alarming

Again selective use of stats or subjectivity does not help. By same token how many games have we not deserved to lose. I can think of 4.

I can only think of 2. The Chelsea game and perhaps Liverpool/Stoke. But we were crap against Stoke. My point is, we have been playing bad all season. In my opinion.

Lambert, for all his faults (and there are clearly many), is doing exactly what our absentee landlord asked him to do when he gave him the job.  Get the wages down, buy at the cheap end of the market and keep us at least fourth from the bottom.

Two and maybe three out of three will be enough to keep him in his job I fear. Lerner is the REAL problem. Leadership comes from the top and sets the mood for any business. The man is a coward who has never shown any leadership in seven years of ownership in my humble opinion No leadership on or off the pitch brings us to where we find ourselves.

Do you have any proof that this is what our absentee landlord asked of Lambert?

Just read all the pages also and glad it is not just an exaggeration or over reaction from me. Nearly 40 years of following the Villa and I struggle to remember performances like this. Yes we have had poor players, poor managers, poor coaches etc and played some poor football in the past but this must be the biggest single collection together at any one time. Normally I would not have minded losing to that goal yesterday but its the manner of it. Tactically inept without any kind of enthusiasm, what the hell is going on. They didn't even look as they cared after the game. As for Culverhouse, if I see him in the flesh he is in for a volley of every swear word known to man and explain to him exactly who the F*ckin Moron is.

[JUAN PABLO]

Being reported that Culverhouse told booing fans to "shut the fuck up" .
Quite a few people who sat by dugout reporting this on twitter.
Imagine how much worse it would be for PL if he hadn't followed TSM!
Really hope he goes soon as totally lost any ounce of faith I had left. I just don't trust him to bring in any of the players we need

If that is true, and only if, then he (Culverhouse) needs to offer an unreserved apology immediately with said apology being supported by Lambert. 

what does Culverhouse do . Hes as useless as the Lambert . They are just taking the piss , taking good wages while giving us this dross.

If we get beaten by Swansea and Sunderland he would surely have to go. I don't see happening before then.

Not sure it would make a massive difference though, the squad is piss poor

If we get beat by those two - Im afraid we are down

Too early to say that.

However, if we do lose them that'll be 6 straight defeats in the league, which nobody can really argue with nhim getting the chop for.

That would be my stance. I hate the short term fire at will nature of football but he was brought into play more attractive football and reverse the decline. Aside from last 10-12 games of last season he has done neither.

[JUAN PABLO]

From the Guardian:

this loss at home to Crystal Palace means Paul Lambert's side have the lowest home scoring record in all four divisions.

Id sack him for that , NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!!!!!

[JUAN PABLO]

Another complete mystery to me is what has happened to Matt Lowton? I was tipping this guy for the World Cup squad at the end of last season, he couldn't pass it 5 yards yesterday i

Lowton needs to sort his private life out from what Im hearing.  Too many nights out on the piss in Sheffield

Can we have less of the unsubstantiated rumours please.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Did anyone find it hilarious when Bacuna booted it out for a goal kick and the whole ground booed?

That was probably the best moment of the game, which sums up my feelings pretty well

[Legion]

No, not really.

[rob_bridge]

Dave - what are your thoughts on our immediate predicament?

[Dave Cooper please]

Yesterday I watched a great game of football. Paget Rangers 9-0 Polesworth.

Did you lot enjoy your day as much as I did?
