Bunnski Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Do those blaming the players not think that 26 games of playing long ball probably isn't the best way to get players confident, comfortable and more importantly getting our front 3 scoring. Surely its up to these professional footballers to be able to put the ball in the net regardless of the style of football? Lambert should be dropping some of the players that look like they cant score and are a liability or at the very least subbing them off as early as is necessary when its obvious they are having a stinker.

foreveryoung Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 This is as good as the same team that beat Sunderland last season 6-1. Admitted that wasn't luck and to be fair Sunderland were not totally shite that day, they just couldn't handle us!. So I ask you where has the quality of that game gone. Now this isn't down to Lerner, only Lambert can change this. I have not seen one convincing win since this game. Do I believe this season we have won games with luck. Yes I do, probably every f******* one of them. He changes the set up every bloody game, im not suprised the players dont know what they are doing, Surely you cannot keep changing the tactics every game with players who haven't got the experience. To me they really aren't being coached correctly. We have gone from good passing football, to not even being able to string a pass together.....?

NurembergVillan Posted February 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2014 Quality moments, or lucky moments? I can't think of too many moments of top quality skill this season. Last season you could at least point out Lowton's goal, Weimann's at Anfield, any one of a few from Benteke. I'm struggling this season. Bacunas free kick against city and delph against Southampton are 2 quality moments that helped us get 6 unexpected points. True. Both of Bacuna's free kicks actually. Delph's goal though - that was one moment of brilliance in a really, really, lucky win...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season you could at least point out Lowton's goal, Weimann's at Anfield, any one of a few from Benteke. I'm struggling this season. All 3 of Delph's have been sublime. Bacuna's free kicks. Westwood's equaliser against the Baggies. It's a bit of a weird point really. I'd agree with John that moments of quality see us where we are rather than luck. The point is, we're absolutely crap. Even including the 6 goals you've referenced there, we've only won one game where you can say we were the dominant force. The point is, that without these (very occasional) flashes, or without fortune (Lugano's header at VP, even Remy hitting the post today) we'd be in even more stinky stuff than we are. The point is, just based on our typical performance level, barring something remarkable happening in our favour, we'll get beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 If he was sacked, who could we go for? Laudrup? Villas-Boas? I'd personally like the latter, just because of the players that he would try to buy for us, but only if Lerner made funds available, obviously.
