Popular Post PieFacE Posted November 24, 2014 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Truly awful manager. I mean, what are the players even doing? What is the game plan? Going forward we have absolutely nothing other than feeding off scraps and playing for the second ball. It's absolutely horrific and how people can think this bloke is a good manager is beyond me. What on earth do they do in training? Where's the organisation? Our whole attacking game plan today was to hope Gabby could get on the end of a long ball. It's truly awful to watch and i'm sick of it. We're going down with him in charge. Lambert out. Edited November 24, 2014 by PieFacE 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Your devotion for Lambert seems to hold no boundries, we are a boring defensive team under Lambert, losing crowds by the 10's of thousands but I guess its your opinion and your ofcourse entitled to it! I'm not the slightest bit devoted to Lambert, except to say that he doesn't deserve the sack. Sure we're a boring, defensive team under Lambert at the moment, but the two strikers he signed have only played about 60 games between them in three years. Ask Liverpool what life's like without your star striker and best player - and they've still got Sturridge and lots of cash. Though its coming to light they also have a very limited manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start, Liverpool have been poor for while, maybe 6-7 even 8 or 9 games. We have been poor for 2 and a half **** years!!! And answer a simple question, if a loss rate of 50% doesn't get the sack in your book, how shit does it actually have to get before the sack is justified?

Popular Post Brumstopdogs Posted November 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2014 Lambert summed it up when he said they'd been working on getting Gabby in over the top in training. The sad thing is that is about all we have - a punt up field and someone running onto it hoping for a mistake! A dire, dreadful performance lacking composure, quality and excitement. No surprise that the attendances are dropping as the majority of the fanbase have had enough. Lambert out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but i imagine the 50% must have been games where we had players injured or suspended, came during a bad run of fixtures or against teams who spend loads more money than us.

The we we played the second half would have embarrassed most sunday league managers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise that the attendances are dropping as the majority of the fanbase have had enough. Lambert out. Yup. We worked on that ? Wow. I'm running out of how to express how this feels. First year I liked him, even when we did poorly. Second year I thought sticking with him was logical and could work. But this is just agonising torture. He clearly - for reasons which completely escape me - has no intention of deviating from one simple, basic, dull, highly risky, utterly unwatchable, plan. Even in the last few weeks as I have found this increasingly unbearable I have hoped we would perform, win, and he'd have the last laugh. I'm sorry to say I now just want us to get totally hammered for a few games in order that he absolutely has to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 24, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2014 Lambert summed it up when he said they'd been working on getting Gabby in over the top in training. Yup, a little part of me died inside when Lambert said this. It's a really sad state of affairs. I got to Villa Park to watch Villa play try and play football, but we don't even do that anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Lambert has to either change his style or walk out of the job. Neither will likely to happen. But this brand of football is terrible. Never known such lack of possession. It really is antifootball :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It'll be great to see what another manager can do with this team. We do have pace and good attacking intent. Obviously Lambert has no faith in the team and refuses to use the team to there full potential. I feel its gonna be to late soon as the team will get to used to be a defensive unit. To me, we are a midtable team all day long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw_nuff Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Was working tonight. Sounds like I did well to miss it. Those stats are dire and I'm sorry, but you don't need a team full of Messi's to work out a manager's footballing philosophy. He's anti-football. I've been critical of Lambert for well over a year now but this is the first time I've said this: Lambert should go now. There's no future for him at Villa Park. Decent bloke, terrible football.

Tomaszk Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That Bent sub What in the flying piss is he doing? Did you see that little ball down the left hand side of the area that Bent tried to run onto? He can hardly move. I want to know what he shows in training to be coming on ahead of ever other player bar on that bench bar Given. Any of them would have been more useful. We got a point after our striker ran onto a clearance and the opposition keeper made an error. I hope to see some ambition against Burnley in the battle for 19th.

I see where you are coming from but this is something that happens when so much is so wrong so often. A great many of us no longer have any desire to look for the good in what he does, and that is his doing, not ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna isn't defensive and is possibly the only player on the bench we could have brought on who would have made our ability in possession even worse Because Gabby could have stayed more central and Bacuna could have gone out to the wing and doubled up defending with Hutton. Or Bacuna could have played more central and Richardson could have gone out to the wing. Either of those options is better than bringing Bent on, which is effectively playing with 10 men.

I can't fathom the thought process because he's so incorrect. Darren Bent cannot move. Did you see him lurch around, you may as well have Given there! Put Grealish up front, put Cole up front, put Lowton on as an extra centre half, put Bacuna on to charge around midfield. We could have even then maybe grabbed another with Gabby latching onto another clearance in a piece of "planned football". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
