    Maybe he's not suited to this current system. And he's very you for a CM. Having seen him, I think he needs to develop in stature before coming into the squad as he's not exactly tall. He's talented and there is no rush to play him if he's not quite ready yet.
    I think he's absolutely perfect for our system but too young and inexperienced, without the range of long passing he's very similar to Alonso in that he can both break up play and dictate the tempo of games.

    Ridiculous comparison in terms of ability obviously but in terms of type and style of player they're similar I think.
    The King was back for a short while. Long live The King.

      Villa fans going to boycott the first 8 minutes of the game.

      8 is the number of years Learner has owned the club.

        Heard about that. Mate's uncle is going to it as an LFC supporter in Holte end and is raging.
        If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

          Hope we can nick one early so when the fans do make an appearance the atmosphere is poisonous.

            Would assume that they will have to be inside the ground before kick off and that the boycott will be one that takes place in the stands.


            Otherwise there would be safety issues if tens of thousands were trying to enter the ground after the game had started.
            I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

              This letter hasn’t been easy to write and it’s also taken time to decide if we should, but as Aston Villa supporters can we really go on any longer like this?

              Our three sites have come together to write this letter because there has been a lot of talk the last few days of protests. Add to that, unsavoury scenes between Villa supporters in the stands at recent games, both at home and away, it’s now time to do something.

              As Villa supporters, we all want the same thing – We Want Our Villa Back.

              We believe there is no better way of showing the board how we feel than having an empty Holte End for the first eight minutes of the Liverpool match this weekend, one for the past eight seasons under the current regime. After the eight minutes then take your seat and support the team fully for the remaining 82 minutes, a number synonymous with Villa’s finest hour.

              Under the previous Chairman, when the Holte End wanted to be heard, Doug Ellis would hear and more often than not, he would act. In truth, he often acted before it got this bad. Our current owner can’t hear the Holte End as he’s sat thousands of miles away, so let him see it.

              Why have we gone this far?

              For reasons only a few people know, Paul Lambert was awarded a new contract this season after two seasons of under achievement. But as it’s the decision of the Club to stick with the manager and in our role as supporters, knowing the owner isn’t going to change his mind while trying to sell the club, we have to play our part.

              However, things are not right at Aston Villa and it’s not just under Paul Lambert. There have been too many seasons of under achievement and this great Club and its supporters deserve better. It’s clear to the footballing world that things are not as they should be at Aston Villa and unless things change soon, the decline will continue.

              This is a peaceful demonstration followed up by good old fashioned Aston Villa support. This is a message that if absolutely everything is not done to drive Aston Villa forward, it’s possible that more supporters are going to leave the Holte End, but this time not come back.

              And if you’re reading this, you have a big part to play, even if you don’t sit in the Holte End. Download this letter, print as many copies as you can and hand it out to fellow Villans at Villa Park this weekend. And don’t forget to sign your name to it.

              Saturday is fundamentally a warning sign and we truly hope that by acting together as supporters, we’re demonstrating that our role is still one that should be considered very important by the Club.

              #WeWantOurVillaBack.

                Well this isn't accurate for a start:

                Paul Lambert was awarded a new contract this season after two seasons of under achievement.
                I'd say his achievements have been entirely consistent with what has gone before.
                Oh I don't know.

                      Not really, they finished 6th 3 years on the trot under O'Neil, getting to League Cup final and FA semi's in his last year before the fans got their way then and got rid of him. They were rewarded with Houllier and McLeish.

                      Hope they gas Lambert and go down.

                        They've also been a yo yo club in the not too distant past.

                        **** club. **** fans.

                              Villa unbeaten in last 5 home games. I'm hopeful that we can break them down but it'll not be easy and they'll look to counter with pace. First goal vital.....
                              Forwards.......

                                Hating all the negativity from villa the protests etc as it will probably result in them actually putting in a performance
                                Oh I say his vision there was lovely
