Oh, dear! I seem to recall that it was against yesterday's opponents last season that the
second-half performance triggered off a recovery. We were spared relegation
following improvements after that match, even though the result was identical. Have we gone full circle?
So, what's going on? Judging by the first-half performances of the season's
first 2 home league matches we seem to be afraid of doing something wrong in front of
our own people!
Still too early to judge, but we really did need 3 points from yesterday to
boost morale and in view of the matches to come. The way it's going I suppose we'll win at Norwich and Hull, but lose our home matches between now and November.
Overall, I feel that Lambert's strategy is good, but he seems to be missing in a couple of vital areas - particularly defence and midfield. Clark seems to
have pushed his way back in (though inadvertently). And as Scylla finished
fairly well last season, why isn't he being played?
And another big worry is that only Benteke is scoring any goals in PL
matches. I am surprised that Gabby hasn't chipped in yet and he certainly lost
his bearings on one magnificent occasion yesterday.
If it goes on like this I can see big changes in the starting team selection ... but
will it cause improvement in the quality of play, and the number of points garnered?
We can only wait and see! The life of a Villan is never easy!
