Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Shambles Thread

[old man villa fan]

It's never too late to make the right decision

[Monty]

Keep Lambert - we probably go down

Sack Lambert - we probably stay up.

So simple even Lerner should understand it.

I'm not convinced it can be turned around by anyone we'd be likely to get now. However, they obviously can't be worse than Lambert, as literally nothing would be, so the first part of the question is answered very easily.

[Chris Jameson]

Still, at least we've got the good news about the new chief commercial officer.

I was on such a high when the news broke but the result tonight has taken the gloss off the news.

I get the manager out talk, I don't want him here but lets lament some blame at the players feet. Too many of them don't even look like footballers

Why though? It's a manager's job to get the best out of them. It's a manager's job to have some vague idea of what formation they'd be suited to. It's a manager's job to motivate them and it's a manager's job to give them a bollocking when they consistently fail to perform.

At least with McLeish we knew what his plan was and so did the players.  It was just a relentlessly negative plan.

With Lambert no-one knows what the plan, assuming there is one.  He literally looks like he doesn't know what's going on.

[Hampshire Villa]

Feeling Sick!

[villadelph]

I've a horrible feeling, Lambert will survive to the next game, scrape a lucky win against Leicester, and then we get more of the same shit against Stoke.

Guaranteed. This is our reality.

[Tuscans]

Its the lack of pattern, the lack of style, the lack of understanding of the game.Gabby sums up Villa under PL.Doesn't know when to run, where to run, where he should be, or how to create anything.

 That knock down from CB summed up Gabby, no idea where he should have been, no urgency, no idea...shite.

I know what you're saying but you don't need a manager to be able to do those things, he's a footballer, he should know where and when to make runs, how to pass to his team mate who's standing 5 ft in front of him and put a small ball in a large net,  it's been his bloody job for 12 odd years.

He should have gone after Bradford; he should have gone after Sheffield; he should have gone after Millwall; he should have gone after Leyton Orient; he should have gone after setting the record for the worst home form in our entire history; he should have gone after scoring a mere 11 goals in 22 games; he should at the very latest have gone after failing to score against Sunderland, Palace & Leicester over Christmas/New Year; he should have gone when replacements would have had time to do something to arrest the slide. He didn't go then and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't go now. Lerner will see him as the man to get us back up (having seen the scintillating performances against Blackpool and Bournemouth reserves).

All this on the eve of the new TV deal. It's beyond embarrassing. It's humiliating.  Some people (rightly) complained about the prospect of Friday night games in the prem as part of the new deal. The reality now is Huddersfield on a Friday night. Well done Lambert. And well done Lerner for delivering on your promise of getting the club to where it rightly belongs. Both of you just get the fuck out of our club

excellent post

[Villa Lew]

Pathetic. We've not only got the worst manager in the Prem, we've got the worst manager locally. I would have any one of  Pulis at Albion, Jackett at Wolves, Rowett at Blues, even Dean Smith at Walsall in charge, instead of useless Lambert. Going down.

[eric woolban woolban]

Should have sacked the twat years ago

We are doomed!

Bollox

Hindsight, we should never have employed him. Utter utter incompetent bloke.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't think Harry Redknapp would be interested

[anton hillman]

Lambert has to go but will those clueless American idiots be capable of choosing a replacement. On past form god knows who they might go for. I really fear for our club, now in it's darkest days since the late 60s. Come back Deadly all's forgiven

[cheadlevilla]

We need someone in to boot this bunch of tossers so hard that their arses bleed!!!  There's little or no commitment or flair or desire. Someone to firefight to the end of the season. I don't care if it's Sherwood, glen Hoddle or BFR but this useless manager needs to be put out of his misery

[dicedlam]

Lambert has got to go, he is the main culprit, but I look at the likes of Gabby and I wonder, he's made a good living out of being a local hero, but he shows zero heart or drive, absolutely nothing.

Agbonlahor is living on past glory. He hasn't had a decent run of playing well for years. Both him and Lambert have been stealing a living for yonks.
