Villarocker Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Played 12 games this season and scored in only 4! That statistic is one to be ashamed of. Funny how that comes out at almost the same percentage as people voting for Lambert to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 £50m spent. In 5 windows. To replace a team that cost around double that and was struggling. Almost man for man he's brought in better players for less transfer fees and far less wages though, great job on that front. It's just on the pitch he seems to have absolutely no clue what to get them to do No argument there P3te, but it does make me chuckle when money is used as a stick to beat him with.

Funny how that comes out at almost the same percentage as people voting for Lambert to go. He's had bugger all, but he's used it quite well in theory. It, in some ways, actually IS a stick to beat him with, because with limited resources he's made good purchases and then proceeded to completely ruin them on the pitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 He's just signed a new contract, he ain't going anywhere. I might just take a year off football, I've been saying it for a few years now but I barely even care about it anymore Don't kid yourself!!!

GENTLEMAN Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Decent performance and result, we need to build upon this result with a victory against Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) They know what we are... Dan Silver @dansilver_ 2m2 minutes ago Been a while since a Prem team came to the Boleyn and time wasted for 30 mins, clung on and then celebrated their 0-0 draw. Sign of progress Sour grapes. I say Guzan was celebrating his late save, which was top class, rather than the result. Edited November 8, 2014 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Anyone willing to have a go at comparing book values of the teams fielded by: 1) West Ham today 2) Alec McLeish in the same fixture three ears ago 3) Aston Villa today Reason I ask is that people are criticising the manager for the desperate style of play. My theory is that this is mainly because the players available for today's game don't amount to a very good Premier League side. The numbers should give some idea.

The players available have shown they can play football in the past. You can't really compare a McLeish side full of overpriced, overpaid players with the Lambert team of arguably underpriced ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ability is all that matters. I agree with P3te, he's assembled what appears to me to be a decent mid table side, on paper, and he's done it for a pittance. Well done, shame he just can't get them to play like one. Well earned point today mind. Seeing as he's going nowhere, I'll take whatever we can. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sounding well negative on here today I know, but some of you guys need to wake up. That was a McLeish performance against a medicore team which if not for Guzan would have beat us far and square. Trying to park the bus in the last 20 minutes was a shocking tactic, Lambert actuallt took all the attacking out of the game in the second half. Is Keane the assistat or is it secretly McLeish under that beard. Comon guys we should expecting much more than this from Lambert is his 3rd season!!

nik986 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Not good enough. I'd let him go. International break, best time to do it. Gives new manager a month before transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you compare book values everytime we lost to a lower league team in the cup? For me another game that shows there has been no progress from where we were 3 years ago.

David-Copenhagen Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hard to play much better than that without a decent attacker on the field. Benteke or Kozak would have made a world of difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Lowest scorers in the league after today. Delph and Vlaar stalling on contracts. Bleak times indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik986 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 People saying he can do better, but is unlucky with players who didn't make the field today. Rubbish. He has a '£24m' striker on the bench. Bent is past his best IMO however, I am sure another manager like a Moyes, Pulis etc would get more from Bent than Lambert has with way he has treated him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 For me another game that shows there has been no progress from where we were 3 years ago. Of course there hasn't been any progress. We've had hardly any money to spend, and what we have spent has gone on players who have been injured a lot of the time. It doesn't matter how loudly you demand a silk purse or how many times you point out that you don't have a silk purse if the raw materials are limited to a sow's ear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
