Bent supports new Villa boss Lambert's attacking ambitions

Aston Villa striker Darren Bent is delighted with new boss Paul Lambert's new system with its emphasis on attack. "It was great when the gaffer came in a couple of months ago and said he wanted us to play with a real freedom," he enthused.

"He wants us to be really dangerous and create loads of chances. He wants us to be an attacking outfit.

"He has a philosophy where he says: 'If we're going to lose, we're going to lose having a go'. He wants us to have a right good go at every single team. That's how it should be.

"We have attacking players in the team who can cause real damage and he's told them to go out and do their stuff. It's certainly going to be a dream for me playing that way as a striker."
