Lambert out. Hoddle in.
I just don't get the love for hoddle at all. He is a footballing dinosaur.

I would like to see Ronald Koeman in. Sick of these British dinosaurs.

Better second half or was it that Arsenal reserved energy? Even when we scored there was no cutting edge or urgency to get another.

I don't like this football. This isn't progress. Just survival.

On the positive side how awesome is Vlaar? He's the best CB since Laursen.

Our midfield though. Horrible all over. Worst in the Premier League?

Guzan, Vlaar and Gabby have been the only positives this season imo

It appears Holt is really happening. A player who can't get into the Wigan team at the Championship. That will get the spirits up of the team and fans. Great ambition there.

Lambert got it all wrong again. Spend the first half defending and inevitably concede two goals. Would have been better off just telling his players to go at Arsenal and attack. Negative ancient tactics.

Grant Holt is here then. Not good enough for Wigan but good enough for us. All you can do is laugh.

On the bright side Ireland has finally left us. That should free up some wages to bring in quality. Oh wait we are a club with no ambition. Nevermind.

Villa sign Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand on loan for 6 months, I feel this is a very good signing. Its certaintly better than the Grant Holt signing.

I feel Bertrand will add a bit of quality in the left back position, Luna has been poor of late and Joe Bennett has disapeared off the radar. So credit to Lambert for making this unexpected move.

We still need a right back, centre back ( perhaps on a short loan as Okore might be back in April) and a creative midfielder. Lambert has ruled out moves for Steven Defour and Hiroshi Kiytake today.

You would expect Benteke to do the same in the other box.

Cheated out of a win.

However thats the best i have seen us play in the first half, for ages.

Liverpool came back into it, when Gabby went off, we lost his explosive pace, cus he was excellent.

For me though Sylla and Bacuna are just not good enough.

If Lambert continues with how we played in the first half then things should improve.

Gutted that we didn't win but happy with a draw as that is the least we deserved from that game!

If it wasn't for Sureaz dive then we would have won it!

Hopefully we can carry this form into the next game against West Brom

Incidentally, great to see Stan Petrov looking so well. Not only that but an interesting, articulate pundit with good insight into the game. I hope SKY make more frequent use of him.
