QPR v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

This for the Holte End on Sunday.

 Its hard to care anymore, as someone said earlier, if i was not a Villa fan, then i would want us to go down.No creativity, dull, boring, no exciting players, a dour manager, no ambition.

 And Gabby was an absolute disgrace tonight.

 Tonight proved 2 things to me tonight.Cleverley is never a £8m player, and Westwood is a 1st division player, neither offer anything.Gabby and Weimann offer so little quality its embarrassing

 I'm not one to go on at Lambert, but he gives me no hope.I can't see a worse team in the league than us tbh, and QPR were shit as well.

So little (nothing?) to be positive about.  The worst thing about tonight is that, despite QPR's inherent shitness,  it is nothing more or less than I expected.

No belief, desire, or confidence means we cannot do the basics like pass, control, move, tackle and mark.

There surely has to be some serious fitness or attitude problem with Okore if Clark and Baker are making the team ahead of him. It simply cannot be down to ability - then again it is Lambert making the decision.

I bet Burnley can't fucking wait to play us to get their season kick-started. 

Unfortunately the owner seems satisfied with this clown so we are stuck with him.  I doubt even relegation would wake Lerner up.

Mr Lerner senior clearly married the dumbest blonde in America and little Randolph took after Mommy.

Seeing Joe Cole and Tom Cleverley in villa shirts. Pause and just take that in fully.
We are so in trouble I think it's a lost cause now .

I have nothing against Cleverley. He's not a bad player. He's tidy in possession and technically a bit better than our other midfielders. It's just that I can't for the life of me see what he's meant to be doing for us on the pitch. And frankly, it doesn't look like he can either.

No that's the problem. He's comfortably a mid-table level player at his best, so we need more from him, but essentially he and Westwood are doing the same job. The formation isn't helping them. We cross the half way line and suddenly the entire team looks utterly lost.

To the guy that said sacking him was knee jerk, it's not. It should have happened during the Christmas run. It should have happened toward the back end of last season. Every time he gets a last chance saloon win when we don't deserve one and survives.

Yeah you're right, I just assumed that he would come good if we stuck with him but I see it's clearly not ever going to happen. If Moyes was willing to take charge here I'd move heaven and earth to get him in.

A new low. No fight and no pride, which is the least I expect from any player wearing our shirt. Picked out the following from the match.

Gabby: I support the Villa as well but I don't deserve a 4 year contract at the club and neither does he. Drop him.

Wiemann: I too can run around like a dog looking for his ball at the park, again doesn't mean I should play for our club. Drop him

Clark: Who scouted him and thought he could ever be a footballer? Drop him and never let him near the first team again even if every other player at the club in all age groups from under 8s right up to the senior players contracts ebola.

Westwood: Came from Crewe, would be lucky to get a place on their bench. Drop him.

Cole: Why, why, why did we sign him? Came on for the last 20 minutes and after about five of those looked like me after I've ran up a short flight of stairs, ie breathing out of his arse.

As for the rest well fingers crossed they start realising what a fantastic, well supported club they play for and start fighting for the shirt.
Up the Villa, now and always.

We have become a very poor side under Lambert and 4 goals in 9 games, losing to the bottom club without troubling the scoreboard (again), and losing 5 on the bounce without scoring is a new low. Giving him a new contract was simply bizarre.  I genuinely believe we're heading for relegation this year unless things change, but that change won't come from Lerner. I really feel the fans will turn on Lambert on Sunday - he's had an easy ride so far but I can already hear 'the Villa is ours, fuck off Lambert the Villa is ours' ringing round VP next weekend. Desperate times

[andyh]

I said in the match thread that that we started well, but got worse as the first half progressed.
But the second half was a fucking shambles.
After 20 mins of the second half I was asking what lambert had done to change things at half time, how he intended to get back into the game.
He has no idea how to change or influence a game in flight.
We are so one dimensional it's beyond a joke and it's no wonder we are a pushover.

There is no question now, he HAS to go.
There are no more excuses, no more, 'give him till christmas'. Or 'wait till we play the 'easier' games'.
Let's realise, WE are one of those easier games.

We are only heading in one direction with this buffoon in charge.

I give it until about Thursday before the posts start dribbling in about Lambert never having any money to spend and it is all down to MON's profligacy and he has done a reasonable job keeping us up the last two seasons and what terrible luck he has had with injuries and how brilliant he was at Norwich.

There is not a single club in the football league who would keep Lambert as manager.   We not only keep him we give him a four year contract for services rendered.   He is the worst manager I have ever seen in charge of Villa and that includes Vic Crowe, Graham Turner, Billy McNeill, Josef Venglos and Alex McLeish.

[Meanwood Villa]

Dear oh dear, where's the next win coming from?

[Taylor]

We are a terrible terrible team, and will go down. But you know what, we need to. Because I can't deal with this anymore. I've had enough. Tuesday nights at Blackburn sounds depressing, but at least we might win the odd game.

This is the thing, I've never seen such utter failure being so richly rewarded.

Factory of Sadness 

[JUAN PABLO]

lambert and keane both looked uninterested - no steel . no passion from either of them

[Risso]

Sanchez was dismal for their second.  Passed tamely to one of their players, then didn't close the player down at all.  Utter shite.
