QPR v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Gabby was lively in the first 15mins until he was clattered... after that he was anonymous.

As for the crossing.... how many times did we hit the first player with an attempted ball into the box?

And when Lowton finally put in a quality cross, it was the first time we had a midfielder in the box and he got in the sodding way of Benteke. Sums our night up.

Crisps please, but not meat flavoured because I don't abuse my body in the world I live in.

How did Lowton get on?

Shambolic would be the polite way of saying it. Typical in defence, and disappointingly poor in attack. I don't think we'll see too much more of him at the club once Hutton is back and fit.

Oh dear
I was hoping he'd find his 'Best crosser of the ball at the club' tag and score a screamer.

He actually looks like a little boy lost, as if he didn't really mean to find himself out on football pitch, has quickly donned a Villa strip over his Iron Maiden T shirt and has said he'll do his best. I hate footballers whose T shirts show under their strip..

He got into some great positions after some good build up play and then failed to get the ball past the first defender.  That happened at least twice before they scored.   See also Cleverly twice in the space of 30 seconds.

I thought Lowton was okay. Considering he was expected to be a full back and provide any width up the pitch too. That's quite a shift

No fucking idea what Gabby or Weimann's orders were

It's only okay if once you get in those positions you do something productive with the ball - which he failed to do until near the very end when Benteke and Cole went for the same ball.

I think Lambert confused them with his expressionless face and occasional arm waving and pointing.

Bring back bibs and cones.

I have waited till now to say it. BUT LAMBERT MUST GO.
He has no idea tactically
1) Cleverlley has played really well since joining us, so WHY play him out wide.
2) What he does to left backs is beyond me. They all look great until he gets hold of them at Bodymoor Heath and destroys them !!! I give you Bertrand, Sisokkho, both looked great until Lambert coaches them.
3) Why does he persist with Gabby. He offers nothing but raw pace, but most times he checks back, if he can be arsed !! Gabby scored 4 goals all last season and has 2 this season. Christ he has more kids than goals !!!
4) If Joe Cole is the answer we may as well all pack up.
5) He holds loads of unwanted records that most managers would have been sacked for ages ago.
6) I pay hard earned money to watch them at home and quite a few times away, and all he offers is 'we go again'.
Well its getting to the point when I may not go again !!!!

The problem is I will always go, because I love the Villa, but I want to see some light at the end of the tunnel, with Lambert still here its just gunna be more gloom , desperation, ruined weekends.

[ClaretAndBlueBlood]

I thought Sanchez was different class, did very well apart from a couple of occasions where he gave the ball away cheaply, sadly getting the ultimate punishment for one of them

nothing else to say

[kippaxvilla2]

Does anyone actually think the players are playing for the manager now?  I look at some of them and they just appear to be going through the motions.  Fair enough they try and run around a lot but not with any purpose or direction.  Half of them just look totally gormless to me at times.

Not even November and we're out the league cup and the league campaign is in tatters. Sunday could be 4 or 5 nil loss easily.

League campaign in tatters?  what exactly was our objective, to finish mid table?  No, you are right, that is quite impossible to reach now.

This team says "relegation battle" all over it. Mid table suggests we'll be comfortable all season. Not a chance of that happening.
