foreveryoung Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't understand Sanchez off, Bent on. Fair enough taking off Sanchez but... Darren Bent? It was a defensive change. Don't be fooled by the fact it was a midfielder off and a striker on. Yeah drop a on form Gabby to defend and bring a off form Bent on. Yeah brilliant tactical change, has thoughts of McLeish all over it! Or replace a tired and shakey Sanchez with a fresher and more energetic Gabby who's energy was being wasted chasing lost causes up front. Nothing new, as I said McLeish used to do this after being 1-0 up, always ends in tears. No team can defend for that long..... We play old fashioned counter attacking football, so easy to play against and it hardly ever ends with a win these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Why isn't this Scottish twonk getting more stick for his anti football shite game after game. When I think of the stick Allardyce and Pulis get for their style of play. Lambert makes them look like Guadiola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Lambert mentioning the "massive expectancy " of our fans That must be the expectancy that we finish 12th and play something that remotely resembles football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 24, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2014 He's playing football equal to or worse than McLeish now. With more technically gifted players and in his third year of building this team for how he wants us to play football. This can't go on. I don't even care that we aren't winning, it's the way we're playing football. It's supposed to be enjoyable after a week at work, but I think I'd rather be working than watch us attempt to play football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm leaning towards the "get rid in the summer" view. Mantis, summer will be to late! Not necessarily. It's hard to tell at this point. We've stopped the rot (so far as we're not losing every game) but there are obviously still serious issues here. I think we'll probably limp over the line again but I'm not sure changing manager in the middle of the season under the current circumstances will do that much good. If we can I'd much rather wait until the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Why don't we wait until we are mathematically relegated before we sack Lambert. Will that make the dwindling number of his supporters happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can I'd much rather wait until the summer. But he can't even see the problems. When asked if he missed Benteke his answer was "we don't have a problem creating chances, we have Wiemann". Little bit worrying, sounds like a manager in denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just read its our lowest prem attendance since 1999. I'm not surprised its dropping to that level. Who wants to see performances like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
