Aston Villa vs Stoke Match Thread

[SamTheMouse]

The movement's shocking. There's none. The players seem to think that once they've sprinted up to the edge of the opposition box, they've done their job and can stand still and wait for their teammate to metamorphose into Lionel Messi. FUCKING RUN YOU LAZY BASTARDS.

We seem to have zero composure.

It's like watching a bunch of children desperately chasing a tennis ball around a playground.

On course for our 9th home league defeat of the season .Is it another unwanted club  record under Lambert ?

[villa `cross the mersey]

On the basis we have already lost this, things can only get better...

What`s going on? - we were winning comfortably when I sat down for my lunch - log back in and normal service has been resumed at Villa Park!
Not over yet but this is the type of result and I presume performance that is making people think twice about renewing.

It's all well and good saying Lambert is going to need plenty more time to turn things around at Villa, but by the looks of this, in the space of less than a season, Mark Hughes appears to have turned Stoke into Bayern Munich.

Yep no composure, movement or tactical plan.

Our confidential is absolutely shot. Can't see a way back into this at the moment. Team look so disjointed.

[JUAN PABLO]

off side from that  throw in   ffs

[PaulWinch again]

This is absolutely dire.

[JUAN PABLO]

we would be better off  playing bloody Cilla Black

[pauliewalnuts]

I think that is going to happen is that until 85 mins, we'll look as disjointed as we do now, then we'll absolutely pile on the pressure for the last five minutes, once it's far too late.

Half an hour left Lambert. Time to alter things.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Sylla...great song..appauling footballer!

Assuming you mean confidence, yes I mean 2 good wins on the bounce and somehow our tactical fucking genius has reduced them to this.

Must be almost five up front time?
