Aston Villa have collected more points than any other team from losing positions this season, and yesterday’s game has added another point to that statistics. It’s something that fans should be proud of and more importantly, the players. It shows how much fighting spirit Villa posses this season. Aston Villa have come from behind to beat Arsenal, Manchester City and most recently West Brom. These comebacks give me hope as a supporter in many games. When I see Villa concede I often have that ‘that’s it, game over’ attitude, but now, I’m slowly converting to a ‘alright boys, lets get something’ attitude.
Most of the comebacks have been in the second halve, so Lambert must be doing something right during half time. I know many aren’t a fan of Lambert and his tactics, but you must give him credit in motivating his players. What I especially loved during West Brom’s game was the impact of our three substitutes, Weimann, Delph and Agbonlahor. Their involvement gave fans so much energy, belief. This is what I want to see Lambert doing more often, changing the dynamic of the game if we’re losing.
Obviously it would be ideal if Villa could put together two quality halves, we haven’t seen too much of this and I’d like Lambert to work on that. Still, Lambert is doing something right. He does bring belief to his players, and especially during half-time. I’d like to see more of this, because comebacks like these will make Villa a top 10 team this season.
Lads.. 40M is a min needed in summer if Benteke is off..
A ST AM DM LB on 35-40k a week is not asking for twoo much.. the two in middle would transform us..
For two seasons i have been mentioning Mohamed Salah.. he scored again last night.. but probably out of our reach now..
Basle have a few very tasty players we should be looking at.. Stocker is a good player too..
Batshuayi should be Benteke’s replacement. Arguably Belgium’s next best up and coming striker that’s already performing. Lestienne for AM/Winger. Two Belgians that are extremely exciting to watch. Salah’s far out of our reach, though a great name but don’t think he was plausible for the last 2 seasons as he’s been in fine form and is being watched by just about everyone though Stocker would be a great signing. Honestly would be surprised if we went for a LB unless Bennett left. Feel it’ll be all about replacing Benteke if and when he leaves, and the midfield. Could look in Belgium for a DM as well, they have some really big, quick, strong players like
I have read Lambert was again seen at a CSKA game, now Honda’s off to Milan, but someone like Musa, Zuber or Milanov to play behind Benteke, Wernbloom for the midfield spot, But then my whole life could be a lie and he wasn’t there.
As for Basel, weren’t we linked to Sio once? Another young Egyptian of theirs, Mohamed El Nenny, looks quite talented himself.
Transfer periods are so much fun. š
We’ve recalled albrighton! Don’t really see the point as I doubt he will get much game time, though maybe Lambert has seen him in action and thought he looks good, we will have to wait and see!
Supposedly we have an injury crisis to our “small” team and needed him back.
