Pilchard Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If Okore and Vlaar, or one of them, were playing against West Ham they would not have had a sniff against us. You seem pretty confident. How many times have you seen Okore play a full 90 minutes to form this opinion? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikantcpell Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'd have Steve McClaren over Lambert anyday. No you would not. I would. I would rather have Fungi from Benfits streets in charge than Steve McClaren.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He performed very well and looked so composed on the ball. Particular the Newcastle game, we were playing out from the back and building attacks.

So about one and a half games during which time we've conceded 3 goals and didn't keep a clean sheet in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three goals spread over three matches against good premiership opposition, it is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted February 10, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'd have Steve McClaren over Lambert anyday. No you would not. Predictable response that I knew would come when I suggested his name. His managerial career shits all over Lambert's, plus he's an excellent coach which is what our team desperately needs right now than an old fashioned manager.

It would be a sideways step at best and a sideways step that would cost a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If Okore and Vlaar, or one of them, were playing against West Ham they would not have had a sniff against us. But Okore has been a long term injury for months now and we don't know if he will be fully back this season yet and Vlaar has always been prone to injuries at this time of the year. Yet like the AM Lambert or the club have failed to address both these areas in January? Yet an injury to our second string striker and we have covered him almost immediately when we arguably had sufficient cover in the existing squad? I think sometimes Lambert just doesn't know what to do so he tries one obvious solution and if that don't work he's stuffed, a bit like his game day tactics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not going to change whoever is the manager IMO, sacking Lambert is window dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was at fault for Liverpools only goal with some completely naive defending on sturridge. The newcastle game he played half an hour for gods sake. You can't form an opinion on him based on less then 2 complete games and you certainly can't say from those matches that west ham wouldn't have had a sniff if he was playing.

Okore forced DS back and defends well if you watch the move. Actually it was Agbonlahor who surrenders possession for the Liverpool goal, it was then Vlaar and Luna who were at fault when the ball was played through to Sturridge. Nevertheless it was a good goal by DS. West Ham do not have anybody like Sturridge in their team. I can have an opinion, I am fairly confident him and Vlaar would have done a lot better on Saturday and in many other games this season. It demonstrates the lack of quality in the CB position and that is down to funding, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 My opinion on Lambert is that he is doing a decent job. Look at the players at the club, they aren't good enough for this level. The spine of the team is strong, Guzan, Vlaar, Delph Benteke, but some of the others are championship standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
