Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[Dribbler]

Just watching the first half analysis by Pleat and Gray, 'passive', 'submissive', 'criminal' were just three of the words they used to describe our performance. I would have to agree.

They also commented on how they thought during the break in play after the Baker injury Lambert should have gathered the players together to speak to them and motivate them after our poor first 15 minutes. Instead he just sat there.

Bacuna is on the pitch so why is Westwood still on dead-ball duty?

[TonyD]

I think the KEA should be subbed.

[Fergal]

If we're truly honest how many of these players are really good enough, three maybe at a push four. 

I'm depressed enough as it is due to going back to work tomorrow after two weeks paternity and one weeks extended leave, this is just pushing me towards the drink and a possible hangover in the morning.

If we do drop, this lot would struggle in the Championship IMO. Would love to see what goes on in Lerner's, Faulkner's and Lambert's heads.

Picture Homer Simpson...

I equate this to taking on water in a wooden boat. You can only scoop the water out for so long before the wood rots and the bottom falls through. At what point does our bottom fall through?

May. We are so poor at home it will see us down, sleep walking into it. Others down there fighting, we are wading into the abyss.

But they are worse than us so we will be OK. Won't we?!

I am not very knowledgeable about football but I have forgotten more about the game than Faulkner will ever know.   He is a gaffer's man, a toady, a brown nose, a sycophant, an acolyte, an arsehole creeper with one motivation.   To keep his job. 

[Matt Collins]

Nice shooting there!

I do think we really are in trouble. We can't take the initiative in games. We're reactive.

[Rudy65]

Evening chaps, not looking too good is it?

Understatement of the week!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Corners and free kicks are just a waste of time for us.

[ozzjim]

The piss take is you could take some shit reserves from other sides and they would make us better straight away. We are that fucking shit.

They should not need motivating...

That's what's most infuriating. No communication from the upper echelons whatsoever apart from though Faulkner and he says very little worth listening to.

[Ross]

This isn't a blip. We've been awful for all bar 3 months of Lambert's tenure. We can all see where this 'project' is heading.  It's regression not progression. He needs to go.

[Matt Collins]

That's better. Let's just try and look like a football team in this second half
