What's happened to them, i remember we played them a couple of months ago, we made them play like Barcelona that evening but we managed to win the agme, to think only 2 years ago they had Young, Friedel and Downinig in their team now they've got inexperienced youngsters who could be playing in the championship next season, that's unthinkable, surely they're too big a club to go down or maybe i'm wrong.
"The press have had a good field day out of it. They've addressed every possible avenue. The only one they've left out is Barack Obama. He's too busy. I carry that because I'm the manager of the most famous club in the world. I'm not at Newcastle, a wee club in the north-east. That's simply the facts of life." Nope.
no he wasn't, back to the topic, let's say Aston Villa lose tonight, do you think Paul Lambert will get sacked or not.
they have many young players .. real young (not arsenal young with many players over 25 -30 ) young players make mistakes and can't hold on to many times they were leading I still think they are a decent side facing many big clubs
It's amazing, you see this happen to am established premier league team every now and then... It tends to go one of two ways. They either have a terrible season but manage to stay up and then are a lot better the next season (with all their youngsters they will continue to improve), or they get relegated and then it's a disaster. Imagine if Villa and Newcastle get relegated this season? Wow...
I'm really struggling to see how Villa will improve much, a lot of those players are young but very few of them show any signs of the quality needed to stay up.
Yeah, the majority of them look like relegation-battling club standard... But I figured as youngsters they have to improve, even a little bit, they can't be this bad again next year!
I'm not so sure, Bannan was tipped as a rising star a few years ago and how much has he progressed? He looks completely out of his depth, Delph has been around the first team for a while now and doesn't even look Championship quality, players like Clark and Lowton haven't shown any signs that they will be any more than relegation fighters at best, Bennett has been one of their better defenders and he was given the runaround by Hines, a player that failed to hold down a place at West Ham, two of their better performers were left on the bench last night, Weimann and Holman, those two and Benteke are the only positives at that squad in my opinion, and then there's Lambert's tactical decisions, it was so obvious that their best attacks in that second leg were coming down the wings so what does he do, sticks another striker on and loses all of the width, really strange decision.
