Aston Villa Banter Archive January 22 2013

We've had 2 managers that have bought crap for 2 seasons and an escallating wage budget that has been spent on players with no desire. Lambert has had 6 months to sort that out, put down his philosophy and develop the squad with only 20 MILLION.

Mon had 4 years to do the same but had 200 MILLION.

The idea is just starting to come together and I think it would be stupid to sack him, especially after only 6 months. Very few clubs get far by changing managers every year and those who don't are successful, for example everton.

It's stability we need not change.

How many points do you think we will need to stay in the league this season?

I'm sure we will in the championship

Lambert needs backing, we need to sart keeping clean sheets ! we havwe enough fire power to win games its just the defensive side !

We need a diame / sissko dawson

To get clean sheets we need to learn how to defend set pieces as Villa seem to have forgotten how to

Vlaar and benteke both at fault for the bradford goal last night! poor marking and unable to cut the cross out, and these are our air threat and defence its no wonder we concede at so many set pieces, we need to look at the coaching of the players we have and try to bring the players together to make a team. we have individuals with skill but seem to lack the togetherness as a team.

come on you lions!!

Mon nearly had us in the champs league and lambert nearly has us in championship. which 1 do you want. some fans need their heads looked at, defending a rubbish manager and slatting 1 of the best we ever had.

You say Lambert and the team need backing, Now is that for 90 minutes or leave when your loseing, That says a lot to your team, Look at Carrow road Full for 90+, Lambert got all the support and respect that he deserved here, you wanted him you thought he would do the same for you as he did here, the big difference is he had players here that wanted to win.

Yes maybe mon got us inches from the champs league but the like of man city spurs everton and liverpool wernt as strong as they are now.

Fair play to bradford... But uno what ?? What do you expect when you play barry bannan his the worst player I've saw in our midfield ever!! He can't pass a ball 5 yards can't tackle what does he bring to our side?? Over rated.... Ciaran clark over rated can't defend can't head.... Ireland dosnt wanna be there.... Delph shoots like his boots on the wrong feet falls over can't tackle.... Bennett hasn't got a clue what his doing... I think we are going down hurts me to say that but can't see it any other way

Bannan should retire from football he is a liability

Any premiership club that have yet to play Villa this season, they are there for the taking, lets relegate them

Not a villa fan just a neutral..really worried for you guys because this downward spiral started since last season and hasn't been addressed..you need a new coach, not that lambert is bad but in this your situation you need someone with experience who has new ideas and can motivate your players..or your owner releases funds to sign new players, if not I think you guys should prepare for the championship

Glen hoddle

Can't afford huddle

Wolves fan here with no animosity as regards to Villa at all..In fact, I'm quite saddened by what's happening across the other side of the M5.

But please don't go for Hoddle.If you do go down (which is looking plausible), take it from experience, he will NOT bring you back up.

Good lucks

Fair play, to the above post. We are in trouble, Deano will sort your lot out.

^^ I really hope you are right..I'm not yet convinced by Deano's hoofball however, or indeed convinced the board will let him spend..We are in dire straits at the moment, with a board that won't open up funds..I suspect a sale coming on..

But we are not alone..West Midlands football is in right mess in general, and I don't like it at all.I may laugh at the Blues struggling, but in reality, they really are in a state.And you lot seem to be following suit.I'd implore you lot to have some faith in Lambert..After all, it wasn't his mess that got you where you are now.It was that Scottish berk you got from across town..And if you do go down, Lambert is the right man to bring you back up.

The Wolves fan, concerned for the state of our football

But looking on the bright side, If Walsall get promoted that will be a heck of a lot of local derbys for you.

You robbed Lambert, thought he would do the same with you like he did at Norwich, The Norwich fans are delighted for you and hope you enjoy the Championship.

Watching you last night gave every prem team that has to play you a warm glow feeling of 3 points,
coming thier way and hope come May 4th you are down

, Dear oh dear. Absolutely love it. Beaten by league 2

They also beat Arsenal, and villa beat Norwich & Man City. Funny old game

Six minutes to go and your fans are pouring out of the ground.....loyal supporters!!

Question: what's it feel like for a premiership clubs fans, albeit not for much longer, to be made to look like mugs by a league two club, not once but twice - so not a fluke ??

Taxi for Lambert

And he can take the rest of the mediocre squad with him. Are you watching Mr Faulkner?

simple solution to save the season -revert to a 442 formation, because at the moment no 1 seems to know what position they are playing. defensively the midfield is non existent, the edge of the 18 yard box is a chocolate box for opposition

The fact we moved out of the relegation zone with a decent point should not mask the facts, a better side would have devoured us, AM {although a much hated negative tactician}would not have let a 2 nil lead slip nor would he have substituted Nzogbia irrespective of his recent return from injury.

Vlaar's return was welcomed and our saviour, Benteke, Lowton have been PL best purchases probably on the advice from others more knowledgeable & Savi about the game.

Aston Villa actually don't need that much to create a more industrial menacing side. we need steel & creative thrust in the middle and the final third. Lerner must get Coutinho a snip @£10mill or less {our new Merson/Ginola our affordable Silva/Mata} even the likes of Newcastle/Liverpool could exploit this bargain. Sissoko @ £3mill is a NO Brainer and as for Aubameyang he should be an immediate replacement for Dire Bent.

BENT MUST GO even for £9mill if we're lucky otherwise he'll cost us more in the long term. Bent would never in a million years have scored the type of Goal the Awesome BENTEKE did, even hit and miss Gabby's goal would be beyond Bent so why have him on the bench let alone on our payroll.

The fact we haven't made any progress in the transfer market reveals a much bugger problem at the club, the more the clock runs down the harder it will be, the loss of sponsorship is just the beginning,, LERNER take note speculate to accumulate it's worst in the championship, we all know as fans that you've spent a tidy some on the club but that was in the hands of your poor appointments, Get the above three players if PL is the wrong man to motivate winners then replace him now, otherwise he is your man for now & the championship SO BACK HIM ON QUALITY SIGNINGS ONLY!

You seem to have forgotten Bent kept you up when you bought him..... He bought you some time but now the time is almost up.
