ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 September 2012
Villa's troubled start to life under Paul Lambert continues as they are well beaten at St Mary's to leave them with three defeats in five Premier League outings with alarm bells beginning to ring.
Paul Lambert's Villa lose their third game in five Premier League matches as concerns mount. Heavier defeats and worse performances than had been typical under both Lambert's generally poor predecessors Houllier and McLeish raised alarm bells.
With goals at a premium and a defence struggling, the folly of Lambert having ostracised the experience of Alan Hutton and Stephen Warnock (now on loan at Championship side Bolton) and banishing Shay Given to the subs bench became ever more apparent.
Five League games in it was clear Lambert wasn't the solution many had hoped.
Left back Joe Bennett, 22, makes his debut after joining from Championship side Middlesbrough for a fee of £2,840,000 in August 2012 to become the 851st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Ciaran Clark suffers his 20th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 50th appearance (44 Starts) to make it W16 D14 L20, 7 Goals, 3 Assists and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career. Clark has now picked up a booking every 3.33 games he has played.
Gabriel Agbonlahor suffers his 80th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 255th appearance (229 Starts) to make it W95 D80 L80, 62 Goals, 31 Assists and 25 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Brad Guzan concedes his 40th goal in a Villa shirt on his 34th appearance (32 Starts) to make it W17 D5 L12, 40 Goals Conceded, 10 Clean Sheets, 1.27 Goals per League Game and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Darren Bent suffers his 15th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 46th appearance (45 Starts) to make it W17 D14 L15, 21 Goals, 2 Assists and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Stephen Ireland contributes his 5th assist in a Villa shirt on his 47th appearance (37 Starts) (one of which came against lower league opposition Tranmere) to make it W10 D16 L21, 1 Goal, 5 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
