Aston Villa v West Ham United Post-Match Thread

Lets get him signed up quick before the vultures start circling.

Sick of this shit. Weare a club that has lost its identity and soul. Everybody loves coming to villa park for a nice easy away win. We are absolutely fucked.

We will go down eventually. Recruit top players in the summer? We are perennial relegation strugglers.

A few minutes of madness cost us. Just like arsenal game. Bizarrely while we weren't good I don't think we were shit either. It was fucking cold in the second half.

Twelve months ago it was difficult to defend the Manager, it's now immpossible.

Today might have been the archetypal Lambert match. Well-meaning, clearly wanting us to pass properly, but with no indication he has any idea how to get us to play it properly. Midfielders get the ball and everyone stands still around them. Strikers aimlessly crowd in the penalty, apparently believing that just being near the goal constitutes attacking movement. And, when we finally get some width, he guts the central midfield in the process and brings on another Big Man, leaving us lumping in cross after hopeless cross and threatening nothing and nobody but the crowd behind the goal.

I really want him to succeed with us, to turn us around and make us an exciting, entertaining, modern-looking football team, but almost every match diminishes that hope bit by bit.

We are right in the shit again can't believe there giving him a new contract, depressing

[Boz]

Another Lambert clueless team selection and performance.

Why keep putting high balls into the box when they were winning 90% of them.

If Albrighton isn't in the starting line up next game, questions need asking about Lambert's selection policy.

Another disasterous home game.

[Goldie.7]

Thank god i avoided buying those dirt cheap tickets. Hilariously useless tactically inept performance.

Nothing said on here will make an iota of difference to the cancerous management structure at our club. Lerner, Faulkner, lambert, 3 men I completely despise

It's just the same old shite at the end of the day.

First half, we passed a bit better than usual but looked utterly devoid of ideas re how to get through. Second half, two lots of comedy defending, followed by nothing until Albrighton came on, by which time I was too late.

I appreciate sometimes you don't get the result you deserve, but far too often we get what we deserve - nothing.

It takes some achievement to be at home to West Ham and make them look the better side for almost the whole of the first half.

[pauliewalnuts]

Also, why have Weimann, Benteke and Gabby all playing in more or less the same position? No width up front whatsoever.

[supertom]

Just checking in after shifting a load of junk all day. Not in the least bit surprised. A game we should have been looking to win but typically ballsed up. Not good enough.

Lambert's new contract? How about rolling it up and sticking it where the sun don't shine!?

This whole club is bloody clueless top to bottom. This was a game we in no way should have been losing today on our own turf. West Ham are bloody appalling. Any doubts we were in a relegation battle are wiped away now. We're absolutely fighting for our fucking lives again.

If we survive this season we'll be bloody lucky to do so again next year, because I see no chance of us improving. Not unless there's a big change around and a lot of investment.

[brontebilly]

The mere mention of a new contract for Lambert is slap on the face of us.The home record is not acceptable the performances are not acceptable.

The only person to come out of that with any credit was Albrighton

thought westwood was decent enough, delph trying to do too much again.

apart from that, all utter shite. player of benteke's ability should be scoring at least one of those chances.

special word from gabby, completely and utterly anonymous

matt lowton, fuck off back to sheffield. united not wednesday, would be out of his depth in the championship.

the final insult was bringing on grant holt.

[curiousorange]

I haven't been this pissed off about a Villa result in a long time.

[Tucson Villain]

Awful performance against a shit team.
No doubt Lambert will see the positives in his post match interview.
