VillanousOne Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 One issue still is having you inexperienced players also seems to align with not having strong, physical tall players. Baker seems to be the only tall and physical player we have, with little intelligence to go with that. Vlaar has experience and physicality but he's average height and easily overwhelmed at times. Bacuna has the speed and strength but he isn't a natural defender. Against Stoke our midfield and defence were out muscled and over run painfully easily. We still don't have a single specialist midfielder in any position, Albrighton is the only obvious one as he is clearly a winger - the rest??? If Lambert could buy specific players for specific positions and stop playing midfielders as defenders and strikers as midfielders/wingers we might stand a better chance - because what seems to work against one team fails catastrophically against another. Our weaknesses become so obvious that even a pub team could exploit them. we can't deal with teams that play directly and send highballs over the top Lambert isn't at fault for everything but the fact he can't get more than one decent performance per month from any given player raises alarm bells 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Ron was a 6 footer? quick google suggests he is one of those guys that is a fleas bollock away from being 6ft, like 5ft 11 and 4millionth quarters.

ArteSuave Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) He's bigger than that isn't he? Edit - Maybe Heitinga is just a midget CB. Edited March 26, 2014 by ArteSuave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Vlaar is 6'2. Google is hideously inaccurate when it comes to players heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Having met Vlaar, 6"2 seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Vlaar is 6'2. Google is hideously inaccurate when it comes to players heights. Then so is the OS. He's 5'11" according to his player profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArteSuave Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Vlaar doesn't look 6.2 to me. I actually thought he was taller than that. Pictures of Vlaar in a team line up: Most of the people standing next to him are 6'+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think the manager hasn't? I'm pretty sure he's made his feelings known to the players. if anything it's a good thing that the captain comes out and says this. Lambert might be the boss, but it is the captain who takes on the leader role on and off the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Lambert should just go one step further and record his team talks and release them on the OS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
