DCJonah Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 21 hours ago, Keyblade said: Was randomly thinking last night that our starting XI that night we demolished Liverpool at Anfield was actually: Guzan Lowton Herd Clark Baker Lichaj Westwood Bannan Holman Weimann Benteke That was a real PL starting XI. Honestly think he was a borderline miracle worker in that first season keeping that squad up and getting the results he did (granted we did go on a disastrous run right after that game, where we were outscored 15-0 in 3 games, but yeah ) A miracle worker for making us worse the longer he spent with us. Benteke contributed massively and Sherwood showed you don't have to be a good manager to reap the rewards of that. Lambert was a disaster and certainly played his part. The squad he left, while working under very harsh conditions, was awful. He also basically over saw 3 years of a losing, play awful football mentality that is not easy to shift. The only manager in my lifetime who made me truly fall out of love with watching my club and the sport. Sherwood and the word removed of an owner just added to this. To claim he's a miracle worker is a joke. Especially when the word removed was happy to see us dropping so he could get a pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 1st thing Lambert did was get rid of Collins and Dunne and replace them with Clark and Vlaar. decent teams are built from the back and he made a right balls of that guy is an absolute joke, didnt buy 1 midfield passer, winger or a half decent goalkeeper or full back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 He wishes he was half as good as Tim. Lambert was a clown who wasnt tied down by a shit transfer committee who has destroyed our club.

Lambert was shit by the end of his tenure, but I'd have him back in a heartbeat if the choice was him or Sherwood. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill out, I clearly qualified that it was his first season I was referring to. Even so it was meant to be tongue in cheek in reference to that starting XI. I don't actually think he's a miracle worker. But then again, look at that team and tell me it wasn't a miracle we stayed up that year. You might oversimplify it to Benteke (and ignore Gabby's contribution for example), but who was it that bought Benteke? He was his most expensive signing at around 5M .

Zatman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I despise Lambert more than any manager we ever had, he made me not care about the club with his poor excuse for football. Even McLeish couldnt do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
