Butterfingers Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Does he have a tactic that doesn't involve hoofing it up to a bigman? Turns out it's a particularly poor tactic when the big man isn't Benteke. A year in, even on the rare occasions we win, the football is **** woeful. I'll have a pint of whatever this fella's drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You think we play good football? We're currently about as exciting to watch, and have about the same points per game as we did under McLeish. And McLeish didn't manage to stumble across a world class striker.

samjp26 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think Lambo kinda threw this one a bit. I know we have injuries and stuff but considering we went all out in the last round, this time it was almost as if we knew Spuds would beat us.

deeps Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm a PL fan. But he needs to wake up and see that we ain't going to strike gold like we did with Benteke with his piss poor signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Just throwing it out there. If Lambert wasn't our manager who would people want? I struggle to think of anyone that would do a decent job with our financial restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Whatever anyone says about off the pitch, interviews, signings or style of play or whatever. The results are as bad as O'Leary, Houllier and McLeish. Defend it all you like, that is a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's spot on though. We played like a clueless bunch of cloggers tonight, with no skill, game plan or idea, anywhere in the team. When Albrighton is comfortably your best player, you know things aren't exactly brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who hoofs it to the bigman? I'll give you Clark on 2 or 3 occasions on Saturday but apart from that, we always try to play it out & given the pressure we were under, I was quite happy to see the ball hoofed out of defence & into the opponents half. Name me a goal that we've scored as a result of hoofing it to the bigman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This is the 3rd game in a row I haven't bothered watching. Can't think how long it's been since I've done that. There's always something better to do. What's the point when you know your team is never gonna win anything and are happy just being in the league and no more?

Papillon Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Will be interesting to see what Lambert says after the game, because he cannot possibly play the "injury"-card just yet. Sure we were without Benteke and Gabby, but the team cannot be branded as reserves just because we kept a few of our best players out because of niggles. Seems like he hoped Tottenham would field an ever weaker team, but their reserves are better than our first team as it is. It's a pity obviously, the gap between us and the big teams now is bigger than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 We were without our front three and our first choice midfield. Basically Spurs and spent 100mil on improving their already strong squad so its not unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Lambert has spent enough to put together a better squad capable of better performances than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name me a goal that we've scored as a result of hoofing it to the bigman The keeper, constantly. We don't play it out from the back, we pass it back to the keeper, who clearings in the woods it up to Benteke. As for naming a goal we've scored as a result of this tactic, we don't, that's part of the problem. Doesn't stop us giving it back to Guzan to hoof it up a dozen times a game though.
