Lambert Passes Praise To Players

So, so, so refreshing.

A night and day difference from the utter rubbish that we've become used to over the last couple of years. We look like we have confidence and it just shows the difference between Lambert and McLeish, imo.

Let's give Big Eck credit for signing Holman.

So so so agree with everyone. :-)

Excellent game, top quality from every player :D

Well done you Villa boys.

Fair play PiperUK, agree it was a good move by the big guy.

Well done Villa--Lambert did a job on us again as he did at Norwich. Deserved your win.........Swans fan

Not sure about Bent as only saw MoTD coverage but it did seem like he was more than capable of linking well with Benteke. Maybe he's substituting his socring for link play or maybe he's not as fit as we think he is. Either way, if he keeps nodding the passes on for Benteke I couldn't care.

Aldridge!!! that's my home town too. Have to agree with you that Bent seemed not up for it yesterday, Ashley Williams was much quicker to the ball and he didnt win a header till well into the second half. He won't get his England place back on that display. I was really relieved when Benteke scored, as Swansea could really have won the game with the way they played in the first 20 mins (thank God for Guzan) and their determination to get back an equalizer in the second half. We really do need to kill games off earlier. What was the Ref doing yesterday, he must need glasses with all the handballs he missed. He was dreadful. I now live down in Basingstoke, so this was my first visit to Villa park since the MON days, as I refused to waste my hard earned money on the last two seasons Dross, but God how i have missed it!!! My wifes first visit yesterday to our hallowed ground and Lowton's goal will be remembered by us both, i'm sure. Holman was amazing today and I can well understand his votes in MotM, he never stopped running, however Vlaar made many interceptions that snuffed out any Swansea revival and showed true class. However for me Guzan kept us in the game, without him Swansea would have took the lead and got a strong hold on the game. He really was brilliant today. Given must be wondering when he will get back in the team, as will Gabby, who looked not happy on the bench with his Shirt in his mouth on the MOTD showing. I'm so happy that Villa now have options in reserve, because with picking up 3 yellow cards in defence yesterday, i'd hate to think we have to rely on Warrnock or Hutton. Benteke has now made it really competitive upfront with Gabby surely now 4th Choice, I hope Lambert pushes everyone to challenge and that the dressing room remains positive. Can't wait to see what team he puts out for the Southampton game, a game I thought we would lose after how they played against Man City, but now I have more confidence that we can get a result there and then push on for a Home win against the Baggies. Long live the new Lambert youthful side and hopefully Good riddance to the Dross we had to put up with the last two seasons. VTID
