penguin Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Agree that overall his transfers have been decent, don't have a problem with this area of his expertise at all. It does seem to me though that some will say he's bought really well and found some gems but then also compare our squads to others by using the money spent as a measure of the players ability which seems very contradictory. But if it is largely agreed he's bought well and got value for money then it's got to be the management of the players that's the problem, which is my main issue with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Also why I don't think you can just look at money spent as an excuse. soldado for £30 million and benteke for £7 million. Who got the better player? Yes money and wages will play a big part but I don't think its something that can excuse everything. There's lots of factors that need to be looked at.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 He looks jaded. The football we play is jaded. Where did the attacking style Norwich played, or we played for about half a season, go? Yes, we no longer get battered 8-0, but we've gone so far in the other direction that we've become yet another dull, reactive football team. I can't stand watching us now. I'd rather listen to The Archers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't think his buying has been good enough in building a properly balanced midfield and our attack is too reliant on one man who we expect will leave shortly. Also, although the defence is looking OK now, it has taken 3 seasons and quite a few false starts to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Generally I think when fans of other teams think of a dull football team many say Aston Villa. Sadly that's what we've been for most of the last 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that the problem is that he's got to the point where the areas that need improving are the ones that cost serious money: AM's and maybe wingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok people saying the squad should be better balanced and we should have more attacking talent, but despite The fact he's had a bit more than I thought, £9.2m per window is not going to buy you an array of quality forwards and attacking midfielders.

Totally agree. And in fairness the two attackers he has paid anything like decent money for have looked pretty good. Same point remains though, £9.2m doesn't buy you much and it buys even less at the top end of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted November 29, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2014 How is it an over reaction? More like realism. Unforgivable to be hanging on to a point against Burnley. We are relegation fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Much better performance against a poor team. A draw was a fair result and to be honest we were fortunate to hold on at the end. How long now since a win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Let the over reactions commence..... We didn't win. So there will be no over reaction about how good Lambert really is. There will be fair criticism about another game we didn't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 We lost the victory through poor individual errors from Agbonlahor and Okore. I am just glad we gained a point given Burnley's chances at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
