Dodgyknees Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I **** love Lambert. Not afraid to make decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Albrighton starts, interesting. Glad he's not gone with Bent and Benteke actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Strong lineup. I agree with dropping bent as well, he offers us nothing when we don't have the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Dropping Bent was very surprising but Gabby and Benteke are bound to scare WBA defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 WBA Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Popov, Mulumbu, Yacob, Morrison, Gera, Brunt, Long Subs: Daniels, Tamas, El Ghannasy, Lukaku, Fortune, Dorrens, Rosenberg No Agent Ridgewell.... suppose they don't want to score an OG then :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 No lukaku starting, good for us. Really think we are going to win this. UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That is a frighteningly positive team selection. Lambert is quite the tinkler, Albrighton starts and Bent dropped. I'm very glad Bent has been dropped, his lack of workrate and involvement in games has cost us massively in my opinion. It will be interesting to see what role Albrighton plays. I'm not sure Lambert will deploy him as a pure winger, but we will obviously look to get crosses into Benteke. I think we'll win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 i hope Albys selection means we will go wide more often than not... we've really struggled not having an option out wide i just hope his crossing has improved coz it was shocking last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Dropping Bent is a bold move. I don't agree with this "Bent offers nothing except goals" myth but at the same time it's not like Gabby and Benteke have been in poor form so I can see why he started them. What I wanna know is, where's Weimann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 hmm I still don't know about that lineup, Albrighton has been quite poor too. Still I hope we win and if we get 3 points who cares tbh. WBA have a strong bench though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Here's hoping this won't be another Lambert shocker as in Everton/Southampton. Would be good to see Albrighton put on a display like the ones he managed when he first burst through to the 1st team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Albrighton has been injured since the summer and only played one summer. I think, especially given new manager and new style to say he has been quite poor is pretty harsh. I know he may not have been great last year, but that was ages ago. Fresh start, personally I can't wait to see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Strong lineup. I agree with dropping bent as well, he offers us nothing when we don't have the ball. I disagree with that. We all know how well him and gabby play together. I have a bad feeling we will end up hoofing it to benteke all afternoon. Benteke wasnt exactly lively at st marys without the ball either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
