Straight after the Bradford debacle we were dumped out of the cup at Millwall on a really miserable Friday night. Some real anti-Lambert outpouring in the Villa end after that shit show

That December/January was proof that Lerner didn’t give a toss any more. Quite why he carried on at that point is anybody’s guess.

Really one of those visionary managers Lambert. Brought Klopp's Gengenpressing ideas over to the UK before they became fashionable, but we just didn't understand them at the time and just thought he hadn't a clue.  :(
 

That's where he went wrong and they did as a result. He should have introduce them to Gegenpressing.

He was miles ahead of the game when it came to fucking about in your own box from a goal kick as well.

Exactly - you just watch and soon enough Gerrard will be all over the backwards goal kick.

Didn't we manage to put one out for a corner in the first half on Wednesday?

Wasn't that from a Mings backpass, rather than a goal kick?

Martinez gave it to Mings from a goal kick, who gave it back, and Martinez had no option but to play it out for a corner. Took me right back to the days of Guzan passing backwards from goal kicks towards the corner.

Said this before but my absolute favourite piece of useless pissing about with back passes at Villa was that time Richard Dunne, under absolutely no pressure - basically nobody in the same postcode as him - ten yards into our half, turned around and hit a back pass to Friedel which went behind for a corner, but was literally 6 feet from the corner flag, he'd hit it so badly.

I think it was that season when he came back from the summer the size of a pub.

I seem to recall Curtis Davies making a clearance from the halfway line back over our own bar pretty much.

I remember David Geddis playing the ball back to the goalkeeper from halfway into the opponent’s half
FA cup away at Ewood park a long time ago

Steve Sims used to regularly hoof the ball out of play, after which he would always quizzically examine his boot to see what had gone wrong. A lot of the time he hoofed it out was when he was taking a free kick deep inside his own half.

Remember Habib Beye putting the ball out of play for no particular reason and Rapid Vienna scoring from the resulting corner.

4th round January 1980 I would guess.

I think that's the one I am recalling, got the wrong player though!
