Fox says sacking Lambert would be like flicking a coin??

[PaulWinch again]

I tend to disagree about Lamberts +£4m signings. I'd say the record is indifferent
Vlaar is a crock
Benteke is looking like a one season wonder
Sanchez looks painfully slow and don't speak the lingo
Kozak ? Too soon to say

I entirely disagree with all of this. Mostly for the reasons Monty outlined.

Agreed.

[silhillvilla]

Vlaar even when fit hasn't been that great, Benteke? Woeful of late, Sanchez same, Kozak hardly played too early to tell.

[PaulWinch again]

Vlaar has made a big difference to the team when fit. Benteke has been woeful of late, but you can tell he's a quality player. Sanchez had one terrible game, he's been good apart from that. Kozak looked promising.

[Meanwood Villa]

Personally my opinion of Vlaar diminishes with every injury, how on earth did he play 7 games at the WC? If someone was stupid enough to give us money for him in Jan we should have ripped their arm off. He may have played well on occasions for us but he has predominantly been a massive drain on resources. Good riddance this summer.

[silhillvilla]

When I first saw Sanchez I liked the look of him BUT , look at the results / performances of late with him as the anchor! It simply does not work.
He is far too slow and pedestrian, gets caught out and often loses the ball.
He IS a massive part of the problem.

[UK Redsox]

Part of being a really top player is being available to play. Vlaar is not such a player.

I also have similar concerns about Delph

Benteke is acting like a child who didn't get his way (transfer to a "big club"). Above applies to him as well.

"But who'd score the goals if Villa sold their top striker?"

Agreed, he deserves to be dropped.

What a load of crap. I think you'll find 11 goals all season is a massive part of the problem, not Sanchez.

The midfield has been a big part of the problem under Lambert, I would not blame Sanchez but I continue to search for what is he trying to do with those players. The more players he throws at it the worse it gets.

[Monty]

In as much as the midfield has been a problem, it's not been a problem in Sanchez's department. He (usually) does his bit really well - it's just that nobody's moving ahead of him.

What goals?  I'm sure we could have managed 11 goals without him

I like Sanchez. All right he had a very poor game against Arsenal but at least he showed commitment. I didn't see to much from Delph in that game!

Occasionally you see Sanchez run with he ball and try to move it quickly and he looks like he can play a bit. But he seems to have this role of sitting deep and pushing it around slowly.
We have got loads of players that can do that but little else.

He is unspectacular on the ball, but he's more forceful in the tackle and a better interceptor than our other midfielders.
