You can bemoan the lack of funds, the "young" squad, the injuries, but a lack of tactics, game plan, organisation and utilisation of the players available, the lack of movement, the lack of leadership on the pitch, lack of responsibility, intent and purpose in play, the buck... stops with the manager. If they aren't good enough at least get them fighting. This talk of a creative midfielder is good and well but what then? He'll be targetted by teams and we are **** clueless elsewhere so no way gonna take advantage. I wasn't one wanting Lambert. Frankly his Norwich side pissed goals at the back and he built this side without the pressure of the premiership. You simply can't rip apart a team and buy budget replacements in such a small period and expect to compete in the top flight. This is a disgraceful mandate by Lerner and Lambert is a **** idiot if he thought he could succeed doing it. Either that or he has the ego the size of the singer from Keane's moon face. If so he and Lerner are both suited to one another with their delusion. It will relegate this club.
