Mixed feelings about this half. If we sneak a win here somehow is it just papering over the cracks? Sounds crazy but are we better off getting battered and forcing Lerner to make a change?The change could be replacing Lambert or freeing up funds and wages.

That's what I'm saying - it's a defend and counter formation at best, and if you try to use it to play proper football on the front foot then it will fail.

I was once a massive fan of Lerner but I have to say I'm rapidly losing patience with him. Is it enough for Villa to merely exist or should we be trying to compete?
