Bent tactics


After being benched at the weekend, only to come on and score the equaliser against West Brom, Darren Bent claims he wants 'showdown' talks with manager Paul Lambert.
The Aston Villa striker, who was stripped of the captaincy a fortnight ago, will want answers as to why Lambert left him on the bench against West Brom especially considering that he made a significant difference when introduced.
Bent, who cost Villa a record £24m, insists he and Lambert will 'probably speak this week' after 'a crappy couple of weeks'. I wonder what these 'showdown' talks entail? A darkened room perhaps with a single light dangling over a table as Bent and Lambert stare each other out until one gives in to the others demands. My money is on Lambert.
Villa travel to London next week to face Spurs and Bent will be desperate to start agianst his old club.
