Morpheus Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Anyone still think our poor form last season was mainly to do with Mcleish? Clearly unless Randy invests heavily in the team now, this will be the year we will be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I think its fair to say that this is the reason that Ireland did not play today. I mean wtf :shock: Also KEA was our best player. Looked composed on the ball (compared to our other players). Vlaar, Baker and Herd also were the best of the rest. I hope Randy pulls out the chequebook. But I also hope Lambert knows what is needed.

VillaRoy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Fed up. Absolutely shocking until the last 10 minutes. We got battered from minute 2. We need 4 good players minimum. So shit. Ahmadi gets my vote for showing some fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laivasse Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That seals it... he's got a funny dog and is so lazy I didn't even see him on the pitch today. Ship him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The team line up was terrible. You don't win anything with kids. Can anybody think if any positives from that game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgs Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Guzan,Hutton,Warnock and Delph should all start next week Should at least be given a chance. The past several seasons hasn't been enough? I already know they're of no more use than today's incumbents, and I'd prefer the manager doesn't start tail-chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgs Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Be interested to see what Lambert has to say for himself after another shocking tactical blunder "That's my problem" - from his BBC interview. Sounded contrite and accepted some blame. He's no dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 We will always be in trouble when we have a squad so thin that Bannan and Delph are in contention to start. With Delfouenso, they should realistically be out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Given: 4 - At fault for one goal and looked shady on the others Clark: 3 - stupid sending off although i think it was harsh Vlaar: 7 - Best defender we have but that doesn't say much Baker: 5 - Did ok but isn't a left back Lowton: 6 - Again ok, but we need better Zog: 3 - Fed up of making excuses for inept performances Bannan: 3 - see above Herd: 4 - tries hard but i really don't rate him at all Kea: 7 - good goal and rarely does much wrong Bent: 5 - never looked a threat with what little service he did get Subs...... i can't be even arsed to rate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Glad I gave away my STs for this one as I am off on holiday. Two observations: Money needs to be spent as some of our 'wonder kids' are simply not good enough. I think Lambert has a far bigger job on his hands than either he or us thought. The whole squad needs re engineering. It will be a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 today demonstrated what a really poor side we are. n'zogbia just get lost you had what 2-3 good games for us? get out of here you lazy muppet. what is up with us and french players? they all seem to flop generally just abysmal and serious question marks have to be aske3d of lerner and falkner. no more excuses back lambert and get another 3-4 players in or we are going down and lerner you will lose about 50-60m and have 40k fans wanting your head.

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Just got back, it was putrid stuff, no real positives other than Vlaar doing well and KEA having a decent(ish) game. This team needs investment. Some are pointing out that our younger lads aren't up to scratch, they are absolutely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Baker, N'Zogbia, Bannan, Herd and Delfouneso should be no where near the staring line up. I'd probably say Clark is out of his depth too, or am i being too hard on him? Took 45 minutes for the first shot on goal an outside the box effort from Bannan. I thought Lambert said "Fans should not wait 40 minutes for a shot on goal"? Absolute shocking game, i was embarrassed. At the moment is seems like all this "new revolution" is a load of hype and no action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Warnock is back rotting in the reserves for a reason. He has a terrible attitude. Houllier knew this too. The problem with today was poor team selection and a sucker punch of an early goal. Baker is not a left back, he was left horribly exposed by N'Zogbia who was trying but lacked anything in the final third. I still maintain the likes of Clark and Bannan aren't good enough in the team. We need an experienced head in the middle of the park. It really shows how much we miss Petrov's ball retention. Everton were deserved winners, by far the more confident side. Given gifted them the goal and it was going to be a struggle onwards. Just prior, we had shown glimpses of getting a foothold in the game. He did redeem himself come the second half, but it's such a terrible error. The third goal was down once again to poor marking. We might have pinched a second goal near the end but we were thoroughly beaten. El Ahmadi took his goal very well and was probably our best player, Vlaar made a cracking interception against Jelavic. Once again, the problems of last season have yet to be addressed in the squad. We can't rely upon the academy players who aren't good enough so much. Hard pill to swallow, but Lambert is still new to the job and I'm positive he'll turn it around if transfers are sanctioned. As we certainly need them.

parisvilla Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This is not a knee-jerk; Bannan and Clark are both **** awful and should never start under any circumstances. The worst two of a truly inept bunch. Lambert has his work cut out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I think Clark, given time, will make a decent DM. I would have liked to see him push into midfield in the 2nd half to keep us from getting bossed around by Fellaini. I think it was pretty evident on today's evidence that Baker is the better defender of the two, despite Clark's poise on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
