FFS!! I'd like to hear more on this, Afellay strikes me as an affable, steady pro. Our midfield is crying out for someone who can control a ball and he's been banished.
What the fuck does Berahino need to do to be banished?
Adam & Fletcher getting game times and Afellay gets banished, be interested to see the cardinal sin committed to merit this.

Not saying he's a good pro but we've struggled for goals and when he's fit he's been very good and a creative element. This season we appear to have tried all other options, Ireland has only had a few games but more of a go than Affers. Meh, all fairly insignificant now.

I'm really not surprised if Afellay is a bit of a tit.
But this is all very public, which I hate.
And it's all very Villa under Lambert with his bomb squads and all that shite. Which I hate.

Can understand his frustration. He's 31 and at the age where his impact as a top level player isn't going to last much longer, but is having to watch the likes of Charlie Adam and Darren Fletcher (both older and past it) get game time ahead of him while his club gets relegated.

On the bright side, after we have failed to win again this season we'll surely dump PFL in the summer.

Maybe Berra isn't a cunt and Af is, who knows but if Af has been disruptive then fair play to Lambert for sorting it. |

Since when has he been creative He’s always brave on the ball and draws men in and has the ability to create space for others, he can also break through the opposition midfield line. He doesn’t have a huge passing range but he makes things happen. |

We've had more disciplinary problems in the squad in three months of Lambert than we had in 8½ years of Hughes and Pulis. I see the board is happy supporting the manager, but how much longer will they be unable to connect the dots?
Oh well by recent standards it could be a long time.

Afellay probably is too old and crocked, and it will be for the best to let him leave in the summer. But this is stupid. There is no reason to fall out with him and risk alienating other squad members or whatever.
Lambert's stricter approach has not worked. That's the only conclusion you can reach when he's reportedly falling out with Berahino (who probably deserves it, by the way), a long-standing member of the squad like Erik Pieters is breaking a curfew, and a bloke like Afellay is being asked to stay away. From the outside looking in, it looks like a lot of the squad just do not respect or believe in Lambert. And while it's extremely disappointing to see that happen at our squad, I am not sure it surprises me.
Imagine this from Afeally's perspective. You're 31 and you've struggled with injuries for a while. You've played for Barca and Schalke, and you have over 50 Dutch caps to your name. A man like Paul Lambert comes in with a very limited pedigree as a top flight manager, the club are probably getting relegated and you know it, the manager picks Charlie Adam and Fletcher ahead of you and tells you he's going to terminate your contract in the summer.
Is anybody going to seriously suggest that, in that context, you'd be arsed about anything in training other than keeping your fitness up so you can find another club in the summer? Can you honestly blame him?
