  1. I think benteke will do well when he comes on. This a game with more space for our strikers and he could do well holding up the ball
  2. The ref was absolutely awful. We didn't have the best of performances, but that referee didn't even seem to grasp the concept of football
  3. I thought he played with quite a bit of enthousiasm. Maybe it's still like a league-one player getting a chance in the PL, but I thought he has improved a bit since his first appearance. OK, his shooting is dire, especially since it was supposed to be one of his strengths when he signed, but he's at least trying to run at defenders and pushing the team forward. In Delph's absence, we need players like this. he still has to improve a lot, but by the end of the season he could be an established PL player.
  4. Vossen would be a good addition to the squad, but I don't think he's a Lambert kind of player. He plays best in a 4-4-2 where he's the second striker. that's why he did well with Benteke. But this also means he can never be a replacement to Benteke. As said by others, we need a creative midfielder more than a striker. Helenius is already looking like the one too many as he barely plays, not to mention Bowery.
  5. a point away is good, as we are not a CL-spot contender. But the way we played was awful, there was no decent passing, no ideas, no threat. KEA is actually good for games where you want to strengthen your defence and nothing else. This shows Lamberts ambition for this game, play for a draw. 5 defenders? then play midfielders who want to go forward or you'll isolate your attackers. That doesn't seem to be rocket science to me.
  6. I agree, i think he could benefit from a few games on the sidelines. he's the kind of guy who would work his socks off to get back in, and right now he needs to work a quite a few aspects of his game.
  7. I think he could still grow into a decent premier league player. He just doesn't fit in lambert's tactics, where our wingers (gabby and weimann) cut inside rather than go down the line. He did show he's capable of Some good performances in pre-season and against Spurs. I would hate to see him go, but I don't think he has a future here.
  8. Let's not all hail the tactics used today. I'm thrilled with the 3 points, but it could very easily have gone the other way. Also, I feel he couild have made Some changes in the last 10 mini's to take the pace out of city's game. Oh Well, 3 points in the bag is all that matters
  9. what a sore loser!!!!!! (taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24301907) he's not far from the truth though, is he. How many changes did we have?
  10. Amazing result. Close the relegation thread!
  11. Lambert, make Some subs, waste time and take the pace out!
  12. I hope we can hold on to this, but even a draw would be lucky considering the performance
  13. Offside goal, but all teams get these once in a while. Good that a midfielder gets a goal
  14. I still think he can be the creative midfielder people keep asking about. If not, he's a good player to have on the bench as he can decide or open up a game with one action. A team is only as strong as its bench, so I don't mind having him on there.
  15. He has over 60 games in the PL now, he's no longer a rookie and it's starting to show. I think he can be a solid defender for us the next few years;
  16. Guzan and Clark had good games, special mention to Bacuna as well. We lost our edge when gabby went off. hoperfully nothing serious with Benteke, but Kozak seems to be a decent replacement.
  17. you do know that flemish is just a dutch dialect, right?
  18. I saw him at the Bochum game in pre season and thought he was lively and creating a lot of good chances. There is no way that he can't make it as a good PL player, he just needs a season with a lot of games to grow. Seeing as this will not happen, I agree to let him go on loan. If we sell him, we'll be moaning about him in a few years that he was actually not a bad player and we should have kept him a while longer.
