Well I missed the first half but the second half said it all.
After the Ipswich game I said our defence is shocking, I said we were in massive trouble, many people had a go at me. Well what do you say now ?
Some people may be going on about all the changes we missed, yes we did. However come on guys look at the reality of this, do not fool yourselves. That was all about THREE CORNERS and THREE GOALS with some shocking defending. How can any decent manager see this week in and week out and not change how we defend.
It is not about experience but about how you set up a defence. It is about being alert, about marking your man and not allowing others to try and help you out. It is about taking personal responsibility in your position to mark your man. Earlier today I said we would win 3-1 never never did I think though against a fourth division side that would happen.
Nigel Adkins will be watching that and licking their lips. We lose Saturday and we are DOWN.
The only people I feel sorry for today are the fans who went and saw that shite.
THIS IS NO TRANMERE.
35 years that was the worst result i have ever witnessed ,this team is worse than 87 we will lose the return leg as well.Im going to get hammered in work today so fuckin embarrassed.
I wanted oh-eck out and I was pleased when we appointed PL, but you have to start to question his decisions. At times he looks more lost than McTwat
He was the 6th highest spender in the summer.
We had two left backs on the books but he spent 2M+ on Bennet who offers nothing extra. We had two rightbacks on the books and he spend 3.5M on another one (I like Lowton but his confidence is shot to f**k.)
Delph and Bannan will get outplayed every week in Prem.
I have hopes for Baker but Clark is wank. We need Vlarr back and another experienced defender. Westwood looks promising but needs a midfielder who can impose himself on the game.
Unfortunately because of the situation we are now in I cant see who is a realistic option.
No hopes for Saturday, I would bite anyones hand of if they offered me a 0-0 drawer.
Heres a song for you to the tune of the beatles all together now,
1,2,3,4 how many goals hav we let in today 5,6,7,8 they just keep coming, a,b,c,d we need some midfielders h,i.j,k lerner would you spend today, oh lerner rock the boat, oh lerner speake to me oh lerner look at me! All together now we want our pride back all together now we want our villa back all together now!
I might have disagreed with you after Saturday Ianrobo – and sorry to wake you from your self-righteous dreamland – I don’t think anyone was ever saying we had a good defence! We clearly don’t. We clearly didn’t after the Liverpool result, Chelsea result, Wigan result, and we’ve got the same players. Ianrobo and his straw man arguments.
no I was told I was being a doom monger, I was not optimistic etc. All I ever say is the truth as I see it and I saw on Saturday a defence all over the place against poor forwards like Chopra. It was even worse yesterday against simple corners we could not defend (from open play they created little) and Lambert simply appears incapable of addressing this and it is about how a defence is organised not personnel.
I was told Saturday Nathan BAker was going to be very good, I said I could not see that …
you are a doom monger, you only come out of the woodwork when the proverbial hits the fan. you are like those 9/11 truth sceptics always looking for the conspiracy. Like yesterday claiming that lambert was quiet becasuse he has been told no money…. so where did you get that from?
if i turned round and said has lambert been told he is getting 200 million, would that not make it more of an opinion rather than fact. When you spout your opinion you try and influence it as fact to get a debate. can see through you a mile off robo. this site is much better without you around…… ps you said you were not posting after the 2nd, was last nights result too good to sit out on for you?
We clearly don’t have Fck All Rolta.Our owner won’t back us properly which has a knock on effect poorer quality lessens the standards something AMcleish picked up on.Hence our league position,hammerings from teams which have no right to hammer AVFC.Clueless manager which most Villa fans wanted I did not and neither did Ian so whoever wanted shitbert there you go.It is a mess and I for one am not positive about but lets all get our rose tinted specs out and dance round a hollybush cuz everythings ok.
Nobody said everything’s ok but not everyone choses to lose their head when we’re in the shit, like we have been for 3 years now.
So, Ianrobo, to consider again your brilliant reasoning: you say the state of our defence is nothing to do with personnel and then bring up Baker not being the player people think he could be? It doesn’t matter about Baker not being any good because personnel doesn’t matter according to you – it is just the manager. Give us a break Ianrobo. The defence is shit. Bennet had a mare last night, for certain, but I would say Lowton has been good this season. Apart from that we’re using academy players.
More time is needed, anyway. That’s my feeling.
And you are a doom monger.
Bennett is a mare, he’s fucking shite.
What we need..
I would take a 0-0 with Southampton right now.. a point with the line up we have will have to do..
Then we need Vlaar back.. a CB alongside him.. so hopefully that makes the Center of our defence considerably better..
WE also need Westwood back sharpish.. alongside a new CM.. that strait away makes our middle two ten times better then having Delph and Bannan..
All this needs to click in time for the West Brom game..
If not then we are doooooooomed…
How the fuck did benteke miss that header at the near post in the first half, exact same as his miss at spurs! How how how how how how how how how how how how how how? Tell me how the fuck can a pro footballer miss that??????????? Anger uncontrollable!
Bannan and bennett please pack their bags they will never make it, bradfords 3rd goal brilliant header scored by 19 year old for donegal, sick of hearing but villa players are so young. 0-0 at home southampton? If that’s what we are hoping for we are down already.
With the players at our disposal right now yes thats what i will take and then hopefully we add players and get the other two back from injuries..
Have u not seen the horror show that is knows as our defence in the last month?
Ricky Lambert and Guaston Ramirez will rip us apart…
Boyata flies back for negotiations with Villa.
Interesting post and one I partly agree about the experience as I do believe we have little experience around us to bring on and help the kids.
I agree with all your points and Southampton and Newcastle are must wins.
Villa fans yes we may be angry but we need you over the next few games.
My positivity and optimism is slowly being eroded by the constant failings of our team, which for some unknown reason, is not being rectified by the manager, and his assistants.
He is on record as saying that last night’s defending from corners was not good enough….err……has he not been watching the last few games? Obviously he has, but seems to be in denial about the state of the defence.
I’ve always stuck up for Lambert, and said he needs time and money to build, but recent comments make me wonder what on earth is in his mind, we can see the destructive faults, so he must, and is putting his spin on things to try and pacify us, not working is it.
I’m not jumping on the band wagon and calling for him to be sacked, bringing in a new manager now could create even more problems, anyway, who out there would come to a club run by Lerner and his puppy Faulkner? Answers on a postcard to avfcincrisis.
Laughing stock..Lambert out is the only answer get Sid Cowans in could`nt be any worse..
Villa have been shit for 3 years and all Lerner has done is continue cutting costs regardless of the effects on the team. Over the last few seasons.we have sold our best players for huge fees and brought on cheap youngsters to replace them and so lower the wage bill. This is a recipe for disaster and will lead to our relegation. Lerner is resposible for this mess and he should removed by fans boycotting home games.
