Oaks Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yeah we've beaten Leicester and Palace in the last 15 games scoring 7 goals. This is just shocking by anyone's standards. I think we can improve in the second half of the season, but I wouldn't bet on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 He definitely needs to start Grealish and possibly Bacuna. I can't defend his constant picking of Weimann and to a lesser extent CNZ, He actually played quite well today. Lambert may well be one of these middle of the road managers, In that I would also include the media darling Roberto Martinez, who can't quite get the balance between defence and attack right. I'll wait and see what January brings. I think Lambert, when given some decent money to play with, can pick an excellent bargain up. I will be utterly fuming though if come February 1st we have agreed to sign Tom Cleverley and nobody of note creatively. We are crying out for some wide creative players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 It was lazy to start N'zogbia today. O.k the bloke was an unused sub at Swansea so Lambert can claim he was rested and it made sense to bring him in but he wouldn't have started if Gabby had been available imo. Starting Grealish would've created a buzz around the ground and might have seen us on the front foot a lot earlier as he still is an unknown quantity to most opposition teams. It needs to be done for Palace. N'zogbia has started how many games for us now and played well in about 5 of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish or Bacuna for me would have been a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Level on points with Everton how it stands, and they spent £30 million on a striker That's pretty futile when Stoke and Newcastle are respectively 4 and 5 points ahead of us. We should be competing with those two. And Southampton and West Ham are 10 + points clear of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 There's always one team who massively underachieves first half of the season, last year around this time amusingly we weren't that far off Man. United. Of course after 38 games they were a good 25 points clear of us. Let's see where us and Everton are in May. I would be very surprised if we're even level on points with them after game 38.

lapal_fan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 We're nearly a decent team, we play some good stuff on occasion, but we must must must must become more clinical! We need 2 good midfielders, not Tom bastard Cleverly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I would have him gone tomorrow if we could bring in a quality replacement, but unfortunately we know thats not gonna happen. So I guess we have to keep living the dream that he will actually make some progress, if not this season maybe the next......................or even the one after that!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 We have changed styles. We've gone from hoofball with barely any shots on target to passing it backwards and sideways with barely any shots on target. Low n behold, neither result in goals/wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level on points with them? You'd only be surprised? Il be amazed if were within 5-10 points of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 2 in 15 sounds terrible 2 defeats in 9 sounds actually quite good- though this includes 5 draws, We are somewhere in the middle of that- a low mid table premier league side I think potentially we could have a stronger second half of the season and maybe come about 11th Or another season of treading water coming about 15th again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
