Villa journo verdict on departing Lambert 11:08 - Dec 30 with 1312 viewsmonty_radio

Before he rolled up, the word on the Glaswegian gaffer was that he was an astute tactician able to change the course of matches mid-game with a tweak in personnel or approach. Evidence of that has certainly been in short supply, but that is not to say he hasn’t tinkered.
In actual fact he has arguably tinkered too much, not during games, but with his own philospophy. Under his management the team has suffered an ongoing identity crisis - when it comes to their playing style. The bigger question is whether a manager who proclaims the current group of footballers are the strongest squad he has assembled here is getting the best out of them.
Dealing with the media is not Lambert’s managerial forte - and he has never pretended that it is. There is a certain degree of sympathy for Lambert because - owing to the absence of the silent billionaire - he often faces questions that are not his remit to answer.

Much like this season, you finish one bit expecting something different after, but then it's just more of the same.

My Villa supporting friend couldn't believe it when we signed Lambert.

All he could say was "Good luck, I hope he does better for you than he has done for his last few teams!"

Any manager with any experience will have negatives. A Wolves fan said it would end badly with MM.

The alternative is to appoint someone who hasn't been there and done it before. Unfortunately that has proven even more disastrous for us when we tried it. Perhaps that is the right approach but with a better choice.

It's not so much that P.L. has "negatives", but that this, presumably well-informed, Villa journo chose to put his finger on much of the stuff that we have seen from the off.

Even though the awkwardness with the media was disguised while he said nice things we hadn't heard for a good while, that was until they kept coming back again and again, in lieu of frank analysis of the team's strategy, or acceptance of criticism.
