F-87 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So because Vlaar is out and Baker is in, we've already lost? Remember... we've got 7 out of 9. No one saw that coming - Baker just might surprise us. Keep the faith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 As long as Baker has a 6 yard head start on Sterling, he'll have enough pace to bring him down. Except Sterling isn't playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Richardson instead of N'Zogbia? Lambert is having an absolute daymare. And i were starting to give Lambert a little bit of hope. Have you watched us this season? N'Zog has been very average, Richardson has outperformed him. I think Richardson has been very poor on the ball and with his passes. He has worked hard and won the ball here and there, he has basically done the job KEA has done. And people have been giving KEA much more stick, possibly cause he's not english.. Zog has the ability to create something out of nowhere, Richardson don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Richardson has looked poor. Zog should have stayed in. But yeah, they will always get a penalty, nailed on certainty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If Baker is in for Vlaar, I'd at least play Sanchez just to tighten things up a bit. I know he's not 'match fit', but how else is he going to achieve that without playing some matches? Chuck him in, make up for Vlaar's absence by putting a bit more steel infront of Baker and Senderos. This could be where we see Senderos become a bit more mistake prone as he won't have the cover that he's usually had so far this season. I'm not too confident purely because our record without Vlaar is awful, but I'm not going to assume we've lost just because Baker is playing; I just think we could have tried to add more strength in his absence.

Yep no matter what we do we never seem to have any cover @ CB - think another Senderos Type signing would have been good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't seem to get a decent signal where I am so taking ages to check the team. Well let's hope he lives up to the expectation if/when he plays.

sonic_bouma Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Okore should be in instead of Baker. A 90% fit Okore is better than Baker. If we are going to insist on playing Baker why oh why isn't Sanchez in there to protect him. I thought we could scrape a draw but now I've seen the team sheet it's a nailed on defeat.

VillaForever1970 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Okore should be in instead of Baker.A 90% fit Okore is better than Baker.Yeah he’s been out for almost a year and not played a full 90mins yet, lets risk a relapse shall we.I think Lambert and the medical team know more than the fans.

NeilS Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) My hope is that currently Vlaar is one of four decent defenders, whereas before he was one decent defender amongst clowns. Hopefully the rest of the defensive unit can hold it together, while Gabby celebrates his new contract with the winning goal.

The_Steve Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Not the sort of game to bring Okore into the side. He's come off a huge injury. Needs to be slowly re-established into the side. Not thrown in against the big sides right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Surprising from Lambert really. Didnt think he'd put Cleverley straight in but he must of been working all week with the Baker - Senderock partnership in mind for this game (after international duty). Lets hope it comes off but i dont like the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
