Radio WM will be hilarious this afternoon. Lambert has to go. Not the defeats, but no goals in 6 games is farcically bad, especially when you weren't on a goal glut previously.
Too easy for us in the end. I really thought Villa would punish us for our wastefulness in the first half, but they're really awful.
I think Delph is a little overrated honestly. He doesn't score, create or even win the ball back that well. He's a very good athlete and he can run with the ball well enough, but what's the point when you can't do anything with it when you get into a decent position. I'm not saying he's a bad player, but Liverpool or someone else is truly interested in him, then I'd be in favour getting as much as I can for him.
The Villa team needs a bit of a rebuild, that midfield is terrible. Sanchez in particular has no place playing in the premier league on his performances against Arsenal.
I think it's become a case of us needing to prove to him that he will get his chance here, hence him playing around 60 minutes in the last two game, as from the sounds of it a couple of clubs are looking at signing him. I think he looks better than 'chaos factor' Sanogo, he's certainly better technically and has good movement. I hope he gets his chance here.
Villa will go down this season. Lambert will not be sacked. Learner will see no point as he is selling, and a reduction in price by them being relegated may just get the club sold for a new owner looking to invest from the 2nd Tier.

11 - No team in English top-flight history has scored fewer goals in their opening 23 games than Aston Villa have this season. Absence.
Sanchez has quickly gained cult status on VillaTalk. But he was rightly ripped to shreads on there yesterday, he gives the ball away at the worst possible times. I find it odd how certain people (not just within football) get away with things yet others are panned for the very same things. Is it just fanboy mentality? I'm really impressed with Gil though, we've not had flair at villa for years, always wanted somebody like Lallana/Coutinho etc. I could go on all day but can't be arsed to type on this phone!
