Leicester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

Summary of Lamberts interview just.

We had a lot of the ball...
Work hard in training
We're mixing it up
The long ball game is not for me
We have to do better as a team (you think?)
He has said this at least four times
Going to work hard in training

'The long ball game is not for me', then why try and play it for 2 years?

Exactly.

The bloke is an absolute fucking chancer, making it up as he goes along.

[pooligan]

Anyone any idea what is the most red cards we have ever received in a season?  Another unwanted record  for the clueless one on its way me thinks.

[Monty]

That's the point. He has no plan in which he has any confidence because he doesn't think anything through. It's made up on the hoof (buh-dum tish).

[mr woo]

Yet another shameful showing on the pitch, followed by an equally embarrassing performance from the two short planks man in charge.

He can give it all the 'new playing style', 'dominated possession' and 'hard work' bollocks he wants. I'm not an idiot, and I doubt a champions league winning professional footballer is either.

We both know it's goals, a by product of shots and creativity that win matches.

So man up Paul, admit you've run out of ideas, negotiate a pay off, move aside and let someone else have a go before you do damage that will take years to put right.

And as for Mr Lerner, please open your eyes. There is no loyalty in football. You have to act now, before its too late.

I wonder how long it will be before the Lambert apologists start to show their heads above the parapet?   About Tuesday at a guess.   We deserve Lambert because we have done so little to get rid of him for so long.

Do you really need to come out with "Lambert apologists"? If, for whatever reason, anyone still supports him, then they are fully entitled to that view.

He's entitled to bash the Lambert faithful. If you didn't back Lambore you got months of smarmy bed wetter comments and calm down dear. Anyone with a clue about football could see this coming because it's what it's been since day one under him, almost constant shit.

[PeterWithesShin]

The way he contradicts himself really doesn't look good on him, never mind the results. The long ball isn't for him and yet we played it for yonks. Stats weren't for him until we started having a lot of possession and not scoring and now he mentions them every interview.

[Tony Erdington]

I am so used to all this bolox, my interest is waining fast.

Lerner oh look at your season ticket money diminishing by the season.

will we get a sub 20,000 this season in the league?

[paul_e]

2 yellows = 1 match ban

My apologies for putting 3 games, I was too annoyed to think straight, yes it was a 2nd yellow and is just a 1 match ban.

Typical interview, nothing get's addressed because he has nothing to say. Very limited manager so he doesn't want to get in to the nitty gritty of what is going on.

So who exactly are the Lambert faithful? Or are you suggesting anyone who doesn't smash Lambert for everything is somehow in his camp? It is possible to not want him as manager and actually acknowledge not everything about him is it has been bad.

[SoccerHQ]

To paraphrase a famous football managers comments on another team;

If Aston Villa were playing at the bottom of my Garden I'd draw the curtains.

We are a joke.

Leicester were missing about 5 first choice players today weren't they?

Really? Five? I sat through most of the game wishing we could play like Leicester.

Yeah Schemichel (they didn't even bother playing Schwarzer today), Cambiasso, Mahrez, Schlupp and Drinkwater.

Think they all played at Villa Park anyway.

So we lost to pre kick off bottom of the league missing half its regular team, well done Lambert!

What's good about him? Please don't say the players he's signed because to a man they look a sack of shit. The results don't lie.

[Ron Manager]

I get the feeling that there is a culture amongst the established players at Villa Park that discipline and hard work in training is not really for them. When Roy Keane's next tome arrives on the bookshelves it may well shed some light on what has been going on.

This sorry excuse for a manager has failed and failed and......  but he does not have the decency to resign. Quite possibly the owner would like to sack him but the financial consequences of doing this are not to Mr Lerner's liking...not at all.

I dont know. I expect if things are not changed by the end of this month we stand an excellent chance of being relegated.

We have reached our lowest point. Mr Lerner you really do have to make a decision, and now. If you do not your chances of selling the club
are negligable.

Do the right thing.

[Morten]

There are no leaders on the pitch. Only Guzan and Clark. Agbonlahor as captain, what a joke. Benteke plays for himself, I do not like his recent attitude, sloppy offsides and telling his teammates they are to blame, as with Bacuna against Man United. He started looking interested late in the game today, however.

And speaking of leadership, Lambert just sits there doing nothing, no giving orders or directions to the players at all.

And we know he wont get sacked, that is the depressing thing. 2 wins in 17 games and 6/7 goals scored. And yet he persists with the same players. Others are strengthening in this window, we will probably get Dawkins & Sylla like signings.

I just wish Lerner would say something. Or Fox.

And Lambert: If he would only admit that we have a mountain to climp instead of saying that we are creating lots of chances and have plenty who can score goals. What a joke.

[Jimbo]

Lambert should resign, but it's understandable that he won't, because he won't want to turn his back on all that money. After all, he'll never get as high profile a job again, now he's been found out.

Lerner is the problem. His detachment is slowly killing the club.
