West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[ROBBO]

Recorded the game but won't bother now, Benteke has had a long spell out and will take time to get match fit, agree with previous comment that the players we have around him are just not good enough.

[olaftab]

However today Benteke was not good enough for players around him.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

However today Benteke was not good enough for players around him.

Arguably his worst game in a Villa shirt. Shocking lack of control.

[Gareth]

It sounds from reading the thread that our defensive players were decent & our attacking ones crap?  We are definitely consistent!

Even n'zogbia must have been stunned to start after the garbage he served up last week...either Lambert is loyal or doesn't judge players on performance?

From the brief MotD highlights the Richardson tackle was 100% red if 'uncontrolled, stud up' is the rule...much like Vertonghen & Chadli (?) in the Spuds game were, unfortunately Dean unlike Swarbrick was competent & did his job.

We were in complete control until the sending off & as much as I think Dean is an arsehole, it was a challenge asking for a red.

Gabby & Benteke didn't step up in the 2nd half.

N'Zogbia is a lost cause.

Can't fault the other players or Lambert.

We'd have won with 11.

Other player I think was quite poor today was Guzan. He made a couple of good saves but he seems to be making a fair few mistakes this season. Definitely not playing to the standard he set a couple of years ago at present.

Every keeper goes through a bad patch. He'll either come out of it or go through the Mervyn Day door.

I'm pretty sure all 3 Albion wins over us in the PL have come after a player was sent off.

Interesting fact PWS.

Since MON left we have struggled against the Albion. Bring him back for derbies.

Like constantly telling us how brilliant the performances are and getting the hump when anyone dares to question him.  He's as bad as O'Leary for it.

The man is an out and out liar

complete cobblers.

Fair enough he's never slagged the club off but his excuses for yet another defeat are usually monumental bullshit. In that respect he is a liar.

In that case any losing manager who ever defended his team is a liar.

[Meanwood Villa]

Very unlike Gabby to be so flat / poor in a derby game. He usually makes an appearance for such fixtures.

Its hardly a surprised the players don't care when they're managed by a guy who shows nothing but contempt for the club and its fans.

Oh dear, I've read some shit on here in my time.

Contempt is clearly too strong. Utter incompetence is perhaps more accurate. I don't know why people defend this manager over semantics when he's plainly just shit at his job no matter how you phrase it.

Well he's had enough experience of losing, and he's made us all used to it as well. Liar might be a bit strong. Habitual excuse maker is perhaps more accurate.

Is Cleverley any better than KEA and for five million pounds more, manure can jog on.

[pbavfckuwait]

Richardson's fault we got nothing, first 20 comfortable, but we lack direction and are to often reactive very rarely proactive, Lamberts biggest fault.

[pooligan]

As far as i am concerned ,there were several reasons why we lost the game,like the Richardson red card,Benteke's bad misses etc, but the biggest reason is our clueless manager approach to the game as usual. As the game wore on in the second half,just about everyone except Lambert could see what was coming.To sit back with ten men and defend just like we did against Spurs was just asking for trouble .

Lambert Out
