Risso Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 He got the team, tactics and substitutions all wrong today....and some of his signings are being found out (KEA in particular just isn't good enough) Very worrying times with the fixtures ahead of us The emperor's got no clothes on. Lambert is doing an appalling job so far. He needs to improve, and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 2/3 midfielders are needed in January. 2 Creative and 1 defensive. In addition to the 2-3 midfielders Lambert has already introduced or instead of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 In addition to the 2-3 midfielders Lambert has already introduced or instead of? In addition I think. As there is potential there, but we just need more variety because at the moment our midfield isn't working. We're not creating enough chances and we lack a midfield general to boss the play defensively. If we buy another 3 midfielders (2 creative, 1 defensive) and add that to KEA/Westwood/Holman we have an appropriate mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent midfielder is going to cost megabucks in transfer fees and salary and we won't entertain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent midfielder is going to cost megabucks in transfer fees and salary and we won't entertain either. Think our best bet then is a loan move in January. Looking for a disenchanted creative midfielder who wants to get stuck into a relegation scrap. Anyone spring to mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarrieBlue Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yep agree.... Benteke looked confused that he had to come off as well... Albrighton off with gabby wide... Agreed, Albrighton is shocking,we missed Gabby's pace and Benteke came off too early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The only players this season that have made us look more than a league one side are Guzan, Vlaar and Lowton the rest have either had one half decent performance or been total shite. Benteke did look good today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hmm. Bit miffed: terrible terrible subs today. What was the point of bringing off Benteke and putting Bent on? And Wiemann was bizarre too considering we were backs to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I think the sending off confused him substitute wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yeah Lambert got outwitted again tactics wise today. I still support the bloke but he should recognise his errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'd have just shuffled Delph to LB and left things like that. Perhaps ask Gabby to drop to ACM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Very torn about our current situation. Really want Lambert to succeed as he could be great for us but he is not helping himself. Alienating most of our experienced players like Bent, Given and Ireland, who will probably leave in January. Poor tactics and for whatever reason we seem to always perform worse in the 2nd half of matches. Players seem lacklustre and not bothered, even Bennett today looked like he couldn't be arsed to venture beyond the half way line and he's a new signing. I look at teams around us and i'm jealous of their squads for 90% of them. Lerner is forcing us into a Championship team and that is exactly where we will end up. I fear for us this season and actually think we will go down. It pains me to say it but Redknapp would actually sort us out, but as I have said I really want Lambert to succeed.

I just don't think changing manager is the right way to go about it. Lambert should pitch to Lerner saying 'if we don't spend big money in January we're as good as down' I think he might have realised in himself that he needed to buy a bit more experience and hopefully won't make the same mistake twice in buying unproven players. However I will back him until it all goes tits up and I will back the players and Lambert's signings, as the only way we're going to improve is if we show them we are behind them all the way.

cbr600rr Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 when the boy bennett did his thing.. pl could have dropped delph in a lb & brought on westwood,but it looks like pl does not think westwood is good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We needed someone like KEA because our midfield was powderpuff and had no bite and no one with some compusure, I think he's playing well if I'm honest. I thought Ireland would be the link between Bent and the midfield, but he doesn't do enough for me, I like him as a composed midfielder but I'd rather get a really clever creative midfielder in thats on the same wavelength as Bent KEA and 'powderpuff. I would say thats about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Lets face it - its been awful bar a couple of glimpses. Still way too early tho and.......... Some wanted rid of O'Neill - we get Houllier Some wanted rid of Houllier - We get Mcleish We want rid of Mcleish - Were off to our worst start in nearly half a century. Lets just stick it out. If were getting relegated - were getting relegated. Its football, the 3 worst teams go down and we are looking likely to be one of those 3 sooner or later and I dont see a change in manager making any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm not sure Lambert really knew to the extent of how bad our squad really is before taking the job. He had a good view at the end of last season so thats no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
