I’m running out of things to say…

I said a few weeks ago that the performance against Leicester at the King Power Stadium was the worst I’d ever seen the Villans play. Sadly, that shocking showing was surpassed by yesterday’s game, which was a completely gutless performance by a group of supposedly professional football players.

As fans, we understand that our team can’t win every game and that we all have bad days at the office. However, when well-paid professionals have gone more than six weeks without achieving their basic function – scoring a goal – people are going to start getting annoyed.

The game against Arsenal was lost in the first fifteen minutes. That high line Lambert had the team playing was so inviting to a team of Arsenal’s quality. After that first goal, the players completely gave up.

Sanchez and Okore had the worst games of their Villa careers so far, Benteke was yet again a complete passenger and Cleverly continued to show that it’s possible to do absolutely nothing and get paid handsomely for it. Gil was the only one on the pitch in a Villa shirt to earn a shred of respect from me. The Spaniard is completely fearless and his team-mates looked almost horrified to see someone attempting to be creative. Lambert has most likely banned forward thinking in training as it actually encourages a winning attitude.

I believe we can forget the Chelsea game. It’s going to be another hammering: I wouldn’t be shocked to see them stick eight past us again, even with Costa suspended.

The Hull game on the horizon will go a long way to deciding our fate. If we lose that one then I honestly think we will be relegated to the Championship for the first time in my life.

As Jamie Carragher said on Sky during the game yesterday afternoon, Aston Villa is a massive club. The Villans should always be in the top half of the table and pushing for one of the European places. Don’t you wish someone would tell the board that?

Tom Fox can talk about false narratives and flipping coins all he wants but there is one thing that can be done to at least attempt to halt the slide – sack Paul Lambert. It’s time to act. Every other club in the football league would have sacked him by now.

We are becoming a laughing stock. Watching the Superbowl last night, I was asked which football team I support. The answer was met with sniggers and someone questioned whether I take a book to matches to pass the time. I may well do that soon but would rather someone throws the book at Lambert and stops the slide.

  1. Wrong tactic, there’s nothing we can do, we are done fo.

    Can anyone see Lambert changing
    back to 433 and playing on the counter?

    Nope.

  2. I don’t think you’re the only one running out of things to say, it’s becoming a bind, and a chore to have to comment on our latest disaster under Lambert.

    Even he didn’t want to say anything yesterday, which sums the manager up, the performances, and more importantly, the results are HIS responsibility, yes, the players have a hell of a lot to answer for, but he’s sends them out and dictates the tactics, and supposedly motivates them, but he deflects every failure from himself.

    Not long ago, it was the fans fault for having the nerve to boo substandard offerings on the pitch, it’s affecting the players he said, then the proposed 7 minute stay away, gave him another opportunity for deflection, again, saying the players would suffer, he had no excuses yesterday, so the full weight of his blame fell on the already dejected, and demoralised players.

    I’ve now run out of things to say, except what I repeat on a regular and monotonous basis, Lambert is not the manager to take us forward, after his first season, he said when he’d brought his own players in, we would see the difference, well we have, and it’s not a pretty sight, he should just leave, the man is an embarrassment to the club!
