Zatman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think he should drop Delph if im honest. That contract was a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't understand why people would play Delph higher up the pitch. His finishing is awful. Deee-lish (you knew that clip was coming though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 its going to be a tough choice for sherwood as gils been excellent but bacuna was really good on weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2015 bacuna was really good on weekendHe wasn't though. Yes he scored, but he did very little else and was on the brink of being substituted. Which is why I think he needs to add to his overall game before he'll warrant a more regular selection (unless he becomes an absolute goal machine). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise he finally got erwarded with the goal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2015 I cant be arsed to look through the whole of this thread to see if its been bought up before but my main concerns over this appointment is how he is in the transfer market. We have to accept how far we have fallen and that if he can get us firing again we are going to be cherry picked. When this happens we need somone who knows how to spot a player at a budget, a skill lambert proved adept at. At our current level this will be one of the most important factors to how well we will do over the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I doubt on current form we have any players that top teams want to cherry pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you show him enough of the ball around the 18 yard box he'd score a hatful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO - his goal doesn't quite give him a starting place should Gil be fit - but goals are scarce so he is pushing for selection. One for Tim methinks....

To be fair, teams like Stoke are probably the games where you can justify having him on. We won't be punished too much against those kinds of teams and so having his 1 minute of quality in a game will be worth it. Against bigger teams it becomes more dangerous as carrying a player can be more costly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 We're getting a bit off topic here! I think his first XI might be a bit of a surprise. I just have a gut feeling. As has been started before, it has been such a long time since we switched managers mid season I don't think we really remember what to expect. That time it was Graham Taylor coming in and I remember instantly knowing he had lost the plot. I can't wait till Saturday. I'll not be complaining with his pick no matter what, I'll give it at least 90 minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the added bonus of being dangerous from set pieces I think if used right he could be a danger man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this happens we need somone who knows how to spot a player at a budget, a skill lambert proved adept at. At our current level this will be one of the most important factors to how well we will do over the coming years. First of all - he wont be scouting them - we have an excellent setup - the same people who found Benteke, Gil, Sanchez. All TS has to do is what Lambert did. Look at the recommendations (and any footage - or actually go and see that player in a game or two) and decide if he'll fit into the project (whatever that may be) so will be the same as before - recommendation - decide - yes/no - deal or no deal?. just what I think anyway. Not worried one little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazvfc Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Also - if Lambert did all the finding and scouting and sourcing of the players - no wonder we had a shit record - he didn't have time to do training etc (if he ever did it anyway).

villa89 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't understand why people would play Delph higher up the pitch. His finishing is awful. I'd play him there because he is able to beat a player and isn't scared to take people on. I can't think of any player that we have whose finishing is good to be honest.

westholmevillan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 He'll shake things up,no doubt but tactically he was very naive last season. Hopefully we stay up and then a big influx of coaches is needed. Last year,away to Liverpool,he played Bentaleb, Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Chadli,Lennon and Soldado in the starting 11. They got annihilated 4 nil. I want to be positive and we will get a bounce but he needs help,big time. Ferguson always had excellent technical coaches like Quiroz, Meulensteun, McLaren, Kidd etc, he needs someone good in a similar ilk. Well if he can be 'tactically naive' with us and have 59% win rate tthen I will be well happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
