I wonder had Lambert not frozen Bent out early on, stripped him of the captaincy, etc., would things be different right now. A happy and appreciated Bent playing upfront with Benteke could very well have been a lethal combination.
Looking back, it seems a foolish and very risky move by Lambert. I don't care if there was some conflict behind the scenes, if you've got a healthy Darren Bent, PLAY HIM.
I wonder how many points this has cost us.
