I think Benteke plays today then we go in at half time 3 or 4 up.

It was an honour and a privilege to be in that away end today. Very loud.
And a welcome return of the bananarama Aston villa song.

What's this about Villa on Villa aggro? I know its desperate but come on kids...

The amount who looked/acted pissed out of their heads it wouldn't surprise me if a couple had a disagreement with each other. That said, I saw nothing of the sort.

Didn't go to the game, but the first caller on Stan Collymore's radio show earlier tonight talked about it.  Made it out that it was pretty bad.

I think we are stronger with Benteke, but I honestly don't think the difference on days like today is that between being a goal up and 3 or 4 up.

The notion of us scoring 3 or 4 goals in a single half, I have to say, is about as out there as it gets.

We've scored 7 goals all season - across 13 games.

We will be okay when we put our best team out, what a load of bollocks. Totally pissed off with theway our club has become pleased with draws in the last two games, Lerner, you are a disgrace and I am almost sorry Ellis who I almost despise is not in charge as he would not accept this shit

When was the last time we put any team to bed, that isn't our style, we score (sometimes) then for the rest of the game, whatever the score is sit deep and hope for the best.

Norwich 4-1 and the Sunderland 6-1 .

The Sunderland 6-1 game is easily the highlight of Lambert's reign. We played some good attacking football in the second part of Lambert's first season and then we've just gone backwards. We've bought very little attacking talent since then when it's been painfully obvious that it was needed, which had been becoming more and more obvious until the point that it's blindingly obvious. I hope Lambert isn't still pulling out that line about how many goals there are in the team.

I don't know, Clark and Okore were a foot on the line away from scoring, you put Benteke in there attacking the ball too and you never know. He would have buried the chance Gabby spurned as well.

Then Lambert would have been free to retreat as far as he would have liked, the game would have been dead.

To be honest the biggest criticism levelled at the team after his first season was they couldn't defend.

Nearly 9 and 20 months ago are great examples.

[ROBBO]

I have a different take on the second half, i don't think Lambert deliberately sends them out to defend the lead what happens is that Gabby and Weimanns work rate drops off and they stop closing down giving the opposition more room. Weimann in particular doesn't do enough, he expends a lot of energy for little result. Cole in the first half gave us a glimse of what a good footballer looks like, great control, good foot skills and a footballing brain, oh for a couple of younger versions.

We do defend better, agreed but when you reach a point where you haven't scored a second half goal since April (something like 18) and you consistently use tactics of sitting back and defending, it puts far too much pressure on the defence. Okore made one mistake all game and at this level, that usually results in a goal. If the other side of our game had steadily improved that goal would have been nothing more than a consolation.

Do they qualify as superb when singing "we want Lambert out"?

interesting there were no Lambert out chants until the penalty went in, fact.

I can't quite work out whether you're an attention seeker, a nose or a plonker.

We've got one haven't we?

I suspect all three as they are far from mutually exclusive. Well, actually the first two are as you wouldn't want to draw attention to supporting that shower would you

[silhillvilla]

We have, I thought jack Grealish did really well when he came on.
