Aston Villa vs Stoke Post Match Thread

1pt will take us out of the bottom three and people are saying it's over, BOO HOO! Get a grip, 36pts left to play for and we we're unlucky not to get a point today.

Next stop Newcastle.

We weren't unlucky and that's the problem. We have a group of players who are performing pathetically below par.

I disagree

You don't think that our players are doing worse than they should be doing?

I do. They are massively underperforming.

The first half showed lots of promise, but they should have sacked Lambert far earlier to give the new man a decent chance to turn things round.  Too many players just aren't good enough - Agbonlahor, Weimann, Cissokho and Sanchez looks way off the pace.

And I never want to see that arse Vlaar again, dismal excuse for a defender and captain.

This.
I could see Sherwood having an impact here, were this the summer and he could shape some of these players up and ship out some dross, but with 13 games left (now 12)? I think it would be a hell of a task for Mourinho, never mind Tim Sherwood.

[LTA]

Bottom line is we're running out of games and I saw no improvement today.  I would actually say that was far worse than anything we saw under Lambert. 

I cant see any way out of this.  Stoke were poor, yet still won the game.

[David_Nab]

Vlaar had a shocker for both goals.

That said the midfield was struggling all game and Ireland was probably the best player on the pitch mearly because he had so much room.Gil coming off was a suprise but I asume it was due to him being out injured in last game and wouldnt of made 90 mins.Wiemann did ok but dear god the guy's crossing is abysmal.

Yep they appear to be a squad with no professional pride.

Crap performance, utter dirge. That was a Lambert performance - we should have been in the position of a new manager sorting out his team at least a month ago. 12 games to go and I don't think this lot have it in them. I really think we're fucked now.

Lerner is going to get what he deserves. A championship side worth fuck all .

We've lost six league games in a row and are 19th and showing no signs of improvement.

Give the new guy a chance man. He was close to picking up a draw, can't help player error. Plenty of time yet.

[Toronto Villa]

I'll tell you what, there's no worries about Benteke leaving in the summer. Nobody is going to want him based on what he's become. When we need our best players to come through and dominate games as we have seen him do, he's gone missing. Someone will come and offer a pittance and we won't sell is likely how it will pan out if this carries on.

I think you are right. We are now massive favourites to go down. And deservedly so.

Same here.  The lack of quality and composure second half was frightening. I really used to like Weimann as a player, but for a professional player to take a corner as badly as he did in the second half shows just how low his stock has fallen.  He literally didn't do a single thing that wasn't woeful.

Some of them are underperforming.  Some of them are just shit.

he got into good positions in a few instances on the right and outright wasted every opportunity

How can sanchez still get a start ? he gives the ball away every time he bloody touches it ! I hope that Sherwood will turn things round, it was only he's first game in charge and there's a lot to be done after the mess lambert left us in, but still this wasn't good enough, first half was good, but the second one had lambert written all over it. We need to stop dropping points in the last 15 minutes ffs.

We need to win at least two of our next four games ( Newcastle, West Brom, Sunderland, Swansea ) before taking on United and Tottenham, and more importantly QPR.
