Isa Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 No goals scored in October, four in the past seven games, three of those in one single game. So now we can't defend, or score goals. Doesn't look good, does it? This was always the problem with solely relying on the front three to score goals. They were always going to go through dry spells and the goals have never looked like coming from elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 People hiding behind the money again when Swansea and Southampton spent the same and play better football with better results.

drat01 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 So if I read this right, the board are crap because they appointed Houllier and McLeish (but we can forget they appointed Lambert) also Lambert would be OK if he could spend a loads more money. Doesn't that make him just a cheque book manager then? It's all very confusing, I suppose we have a nice tunnel and letter from him though - marks of one of the best managers of his or any generation I would say. By the way all bad records, defeats etc are banished and shall never be talked about unless bringing up the subject of transfer funds ...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've both spent way more than us this summer Because they got into good positions in the league playing great football and strengthened..Doubt they spent that much more than us anyway.

AndyM3000 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Four defeats out of five at home simply isn't good enough, sort it out Lambert! We have played Liverpool, Spurs, Man City, Everton and Newcastle. Pretty sure at the start of the season nobody would expect us to get much out of them games apart from Newcastle. If you add in our away games before today we have played 8 teams who are in the top 10 and only 1 from the bottom half of the table. Lets see how we do against Crystal Palace, Sunderland and West Ham and West Brom before we start to panic, our run of games now is pretty good until the new year. **** me, we were AT HOME! We aren't Walsall, of course we should expect more from those games at HOME. Talk about lowering expectations. You should ALWAYS fancy getting something from home games whoever you are playing against. If you'd said those teams AWAY from home fair enough, but come off it You can expect to maybe get something I agree but these games wont make or break our season. We got something against Man City but not getting anything from teams who are top 6 isn't exactly surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 He's proven to be a fairly savvy manager in the transfer market Bennett, Kozak, Tonev, Helenuis (so good we bought another striker without playing him) all say Hi. Yes, fairly savvy. Benteke, Vlaar, Bacuna, Lowton, Okore, and Luna have been good signings, to varying degrees, obviously. The verdict is still out on Tonev, Helenius and Kozak, but then they've not really had much time to prove themselves, have they. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton have signed the following Osvaldo = £13m Wanyama = £12m Lovren = £8m Swansea have signed the following Bony = £12m Shelvey = £6m Source www.transfermarkt.co.uk So in summary, they've both spent way more than us.

Avflife Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Just one question, when we needed a number 10 why waste 7m on a lump of a donkey in Kozak when we already had Helenius and dare I say it Bowery :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The verdict is still out on Tonev, Helenius and Kozak, but then they've not really had much time to prove themselves, have they. The problem with varying degrees,is, it can span 0 to 100 and on any given Saturday you could see the good and the bad,apart from okore every one of those players has been called useless at some point.

The owner has been awful, making decisions that saw us drop and now the limitations in place would make any managers job difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
