Utter shite.

I don't even think it was that good, John. First ten minutes I thought it was going to be just a question of 'how many and when'

Then...we get a timely reminder that this is Aston Villa.

Another example our inconsistency and lack of leadership. Today was a real chance to take the pressure off and try to build a bit for next season. New its back to looking over our shoulder and hoping those below us don't pull a few wins together.

Utter shite.

Garbage - sick of this shit far too often under lambert - another year of this is too much to face - get rid!

[Guest]

I liked Sylla last season, I really did think he looked like a player.

Now he looks terrible. Doesn't even deserve a seat on the bench. Is he really the best hope as a backup for El Ahmadi (who is hardly brilliant himself)?

Lambert summed it up "second best"
Thank fuck there was only two teams playing.
Man Utd must be shitting bricks...

Gabby 3 goals all season as Weimann - both not good enough to be regulars and chosen every week.

Baker, bacuna and Bertrand all poor today - dreadful defence .

Midfield outclassed by stokes reserves and a clueless manager sitting on the bench - well done stoke.

I don't understand this. Either our backup options or really bad or Lambert things the triumvirate are undroppable. He thinks as it worked last season for a time it will click again in the same way. I'm not so sure...

I'd prefer Albrighton in the team to Weimann and would like to see others get the odd chance.

Very poor manager. Two steps forward and three back all the time. He has got to go.

Understatement of the decade jon, he is not that good .

I agree, but who do we get in?

Ronald koeman and he would jump at the job., feyenoord contract ends in may and he wants to manage in England .
Managed top clubs across Europe and has contacts experience and tactical nous.

Paul Lambert on Potters defeat.





Paul Lambert admitted Villa were "second best" as they went down 4-1 to Stoke.

Lambert was frustrated as his side produced a lethargic performance which he said was "unlike us."

He said: "We made a great start.

"For 20 minutes we looked really good and scored a really good goal.

"The goals we lost were poor.

"The two lads - Andi Weimann and Karim El Ahmadi - coming off never helped us. But I still thought we were second best. Stoke deserved to beat us.

"That whole performance was very unlike us after the start.

"We looked lethargic and never really got going.

"We tried to get a goal back but it never materialised. It was a performance that wasn't like us.

"We never got going after that opening 20 minutes.

"We never defended well at all. The goals were poor. We were second best.

"What disappoints me isn't just the goals, it was the lack of energy. Sometimes that can happen, you can be a bit lethargic when you think your legs aren't taking you when you want to go. I understand that. We never got going.

"The confidence was really high as we approached the game. We usually have a lot of energy but we couldn't get going for some reason.

"We were up for the game. We started really well. You get the goal and that gets the crowd going. The conceded goals were poor.

"I can't be too critical. The players have done great these past few weeks but they didn't deserve anything today.

"You don't dwell on it now. You pick yourself and go again. That's the important thing. We have a young group but we will bounce back from it.

"You get knocked down but you get up and go for more. That's what we will do this week."

Lambert revealed that Weimann and El Ahmadi were withdrawn through injury.

He added: "Andi had a severe dead leg which he couldn't shake off.

"I will have to see how Karim is to see if he has a little thigh strain there.

"It never helped us because they have been playing very well for us. It upset us a little bit but it's still no excuse."

More critical than he is usually.

Ronald koeman and he would jump at the job., feyenoord contract ends in may and he wants to manage in England .
Managed top clubs across Europe and has contacts experience and tactical nous.

Would he be willing to work under our current financial constraints?

[Guest]

I just had a look at Koeman's record on Wiki. I'm not convinced he's all that to be honest.

I am convinced Lambert isn't.

Yes he wanted the Swansea job , he would take villa no doubt - won a few trophies but done very well on peanuts at feyenoord.

Worth a punt then?
