Aston Villa v Sheffield United Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

I don't think I heard Tonev or Westwood mentioned once in that 45 minutes.

Someone at the club has to wake up and acknowledge that this is just not good enough, and then start to do something about it.

Our signings in the summer were poor, but Tonev is probably the worst.

Its Faulkner and Lerner that needs to wake up and get rid of Lambert.

Oh dear. Need to put 5 strikers on and see how that works.

Well, if this scoreline doesn't change in the next 15 mins, it'll be time for 2-0-8 and lump it up front again, just like last time we got humiliated by a team of postmen and milkmen on our own pitch.

 I don't think we have 5 strikers!

[pooligan]

Sitter missed by the new Heskey , even the old one never went this long without a goal did he

[ChicagoLion]

I like how they ask for a managers opinion on Lamberts FA Cup comment. Then they ask Martinez. Glossing over the fact that though he won it, his side were relegated.

I am sure Lambert will emulate one of those achievements

[Jimbo]

Just listening to Roberto Martinez talking articulately and intelligently about the FA Cup on 5Live Extra. What a breath of fresh air.

Shockingly poor player. Has no ability whatsoever. He can hit a ball quite hard, he can run fast. Unfortunately he can't pass, can't control a ball or run with the ball at his feet either. One of the worst players I've seen for us.

To be fair they're covering the either / or now - I'd take the cup and relegation, all day long.

[Nii Lamptey]

One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!

must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap

I wish we could have one that bounces in off someone's arse!

Unfortunately from 40 yards out that becomes incredibly difficult.

Another reason why we should have re-signed Barry.

Barry is exactly what we need at the moment... Along with Paul McGrath and Merse. They'd still stand head and shoulders above that shambles! 

[TonyD]

Just in. How bad has it been?

[l_mckay]

We can't be as bad in the second half surely,get the next goal and we will be fine (hopefully)

 Oh good, I'm getting tired of all this possession! Let's be fair and let the other team have a play for a bit!  :-)

Half time team talk from Lambert!   "Hoof it to the big man!"

[eamonn]

Don't worry folk, we'll diddle 'em sideways in the second half.

No chance of that happening.
