Big_John_10 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ludicrously that peaks after every defeat and ebbs after every win. It is the knee jerk tantrums of the child in people wrapped up as clever, analytical, informed opinion, when it is none of those things. . Pretty much describes VT in a nutshell. No perspective. Perspective is just called excuses. One of the most misery forums I've ever seen. So unless people agree with you they lack perspective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 There's not doubt after a full season and a pre season, if we had any quality we would be a improved football team. To me I see no real improvement from last season. Lambert is the only one to blame for this. Even though he don't have the budget, do we really believe Lambert thought he would still be struggling this season with this squad. Are we still struggling though? At the moment it looks as if we'll be midtable/lower midtable this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Norwich although a win, to me was a struggle. Newcastle are not great, but we couldn't handle them. It just doesn't look like we have any chance against the big teams, an I know its early but to me inclusive of our home form, its not looking good!!

Pilchard Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 A return to Lambert's 5-3-2 then today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I guess you can see why he likes the 3 at the back. Though City kept most of the ball, they didn't create many clear cut chances and actually didn't score from open play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Well thats a big home win. I missed the first half but the second half everything seemed spot on in terms of tactics and getting the performance from the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Needs to put men on the post during corner kicks. Both Spurs and City burned us on corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 We shouldn't be conceding from two corners when we play with three centre-backs if we are being perfectly honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I have to say I like our identity as a team right now. Sure we are inconsistent and it is frustrating, but we always have a chance against the big boys. These wins are so much more satisfying than the run of the mill 1-0 win over Hull or someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I believe he had a Claret coloured Polo logo on his Ralph jumper today, rather than the regular purple one. I don't even think you can buy them in that colourway, maybe he got his sponsorship. Edited September 28, 2013 by samjp26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Can I suggest a reason for the poor first half? I think he tried changing to another formation, to counter not having Trekkers who drops deep and helps us on the ball. I also think the players know how to play with the beast and it took them time to find Kozak. How it seemed to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXD Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Let's not all hail the tactics used today. I'm thrilled with the 3 points, but it could very easily have gone the other way. Also, I feel he couild have made Some changes in the last 10 mini's to take the pace out of city's game. Oh Well, 3 points in the bag is all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 My only criticism is that I feel he could move his half-time team talk to the start of the game. Then that Title Chase thread wouldn't be a joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Changed the tactics and got the result. It wasn't pretty and city probably should have scored more first half, but they all count so credit to Lambert for that. Concerns about corners and the zonal marking and the fact that we have everyone back, which I think brings more pressure onto us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way I see today - a chance presented itself to win the game - and we took it. Full marks - I still don't like 5-3-2 -but worked today. Turning point was when Man City subbed Nasri - who I thought was excellent (just the sort of player we need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
