Paul Lambert is under increased pressure following four defeats in a row which has resulted in Aston Villa nearing the relegation zone. This ultimately has put the club into their third relegation fight in a row. Despite the increase of pressure he’ll be given another chance to turn Aston Villa’s fortunes around. Lerner has made cash available in January, but stressed there will be no big signings such as Bent in 2011. Lambert has spent £18 million in the summer transfer window.
Lambert has been planing transfer targets for the past few weeks and it’s believed that Lambert is targeting a winger, creative midfielder and a striker to improve the squad. Additionally, Aston Villa will once again listen to offers for fringe players such as Shay Given, Alan Hutton and Joe Bennett.
Following the defeat to Crystal Palace Lambert has admitted that further acquisitions are needed in order to avoid another relegation battle with the squad thin on quality players and experience.
“The club is miles from where I want it to be, an absolutely country mile, and you want to take it right through to the levels. To do that you need to keep building it and adding quality to it and adding at every turn,” he said. “I don’t want to be sitting like this every time [after a defeat]. If you want to fight it you fight it, I’m not going to run away from it.
“There’s always pressure even if you are on a winning run. In football now you get one or two games, the way football management is, it’s always the case. If you’ve lost two games, not won for two games, there’s a crisis there, it’s got more and more shorter. We’ve got to turn the home form around. There’s no magic formula. The lads are edgy at certain things but they have to overcome that and they can.” – Paul Lambert
I still believe managers and teams can improve.. I don’t know if this one can he may utterly fail .. but every article i see the same old same old .. Lambert out f off lerner, f off lambert etc etc .. but i will keep asking the same question in response,whats the alternative?
the budget will be the same. the competition is the same.
unless there is a chairman owner willing to come in and splash a few hundred million in a couple of seasons then comparatively speaking at least we dont have a Tan.
as for lambert its 1 and a half seasons in .. 19 games to go
lots of improvement needed. we are pretty rubbish
but its not mission impossible and i still firmly believe Villa are better sticking with the current management and trying to improve rather than resetting all over again for the 4th time in 5 seasons with all the same resources and obstacles the current management face except without the groundwork and continuity
Lambast away!
Ffs stop spouting the same old bullshit post after post after post after post, are you some kind of attention seeker?
COLONIUS81 named after a large erection? Yea that sounds about right.
Whats an erection, its 25 years since I had one. Tried Viagra, the dog ate them all. He has been stuck to my leg for the last fortnight…ah well, better than a 6 hour round trip to VP
It’s a COLONIUS81.
I can’t help it BWS, I crave the limelight and leaving comments on a forum is the most ostentatious method i could come up with in order to grab the attention i so badly need!
I am just so glad no one else has thought about leaving comments about football on a football forum before or else this would not be the attention seeking exercise you have so cleverly uncovered!
As for the same old same old .. sheer madness i know .. having an opinion and then sticking to it!
whats more its a different opinion! .. whats more its a differing opinion from yours!
Just chalk it down to the need for attention.
Try and forget about it and carry on nurturing all the different ways you can paste the words; Lambert + out + ffs,
.. again .. and again and again and again
wait a minute ….
Am i named after a large erection?
I don’t know have you ever had or seen a large erection and named it Colonius81?
When you see or think of erections do you associate my name or my profile with it?
Should i be flattered?
if you have well good for you! .. considering this makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever i am just going to file this one away as some kind of homoerotic compliment.
so erm .. thanks .. i think?
Yes you obviously do.
Sticking to an opinion that’s flawed, ok great and the moon’s made of green cheese.
Differers from 99.9% of the faithful but you just must be right (are you a holocaust denier too?)
Cut and past? Rich of Mr I’m a Demon with a space bar.
Your user name..You chose it
No.
If it floats your boat.
Don’t it’ll give you a headache
The alternative is a manager that blends youth with experience and is not shit scared of a player over 23 Ffs.
How about teaching them how to pass a ball 10 yards..that will do for starters.
Fuck off Lerner, the Villa is OURS!
Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass.
It is terribly simple.

Anyone of the other 91 clubs because they all have better stats than we do, right now we have the worst manager and coaching staff in the country. I would take anything over this and reading your posts id say you are not far from turning yourself
We have athletes who can run and press,we do not have any footballers and whilst this clown is in charge we wont have any footballers anytime soon
I would agree with that
Morgan Villa, although i Believe some have a bit more football in them that is currently being expressed or is currently being surpressed.
either way yes we have 11 combatative athletes in the last 10 games or more. Absolute technique famine.
he better get funds to spend. I would buy aiden mcgeady, good quality attacking midfielder. ivelin popov and another central defender
