Richard Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Clark Baker Weimann Delph None are from the 'young and hungry' approach that Lambert first initiated. Benteke How could I forget? That one did pay off. They are as they played for him right from the start and continue to do so. he may not have bought them but he played them.

DCJonah Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I know he played them but I wouldn't class them as part of that initial young and hungry approach when he first joined. These were players he inherited rather than actively signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were players he inherited rather than actively signed. If a manager wants to go with a specific approach he can incorporate signings alongside original squad members if they fit their vision. Why should it have to be made up of only signed players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should it have to be made up of only signed players? I'm not having a go, I just didn't really put the initial signings with those he inherited. I guess they could be considered in the same manner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were players he inherited rather than actively signed. he needn't have played them, they were a part of the young and hungry. he could have flogged them, let them go or instead of one of the defenders play Hutton or instead of Weimann play Bent or instead of Delph play Ireland. You get my point? There were alternatives but he chose to go with these young hungry players. Believe me they were and are a part of the approach that is referred to as young and hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Why did he spend the entire game standing 6 yards off young. Got turned inside out everytime instead of getting tight to him so he couldn't run. If Hutton played yesterday that Utd goal doesn't happen.

sonic_bouma Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Did anyone else see his attempts to block the crosses? I lost count of the amount of times he just kind of flung his leg limply behind him to try and stop them. He was like Dale Winton in shorts yesterday. Where is the player from two years ago? He seems to have lost all motivation to play for us. Bacuna should be ahead of him until we can get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Made Ashley Young look like Messi. Awful, just awful. Not sure if it is rustiness, lack of games or just desire anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Probably a bit of all 3. He's got a lot of criticism considering he was thrown in having hardly played against one of the most expensive attacking units the league has ever seen.

DCJonah Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Poor defender. I think it was a big mistake switching young to the right for them. He had the beating of lowton pretty much every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have lost all motivation to play for us. Bacuna should be ahead of him until we can get rid. He was doing that two years ago. His defending is always based on anticipating where the ball is going so on occasions he reads it and cuts out the attack and starts off the counter attack. When he gets it wrong though he's on his heels and can't recover. Will be interesting when he eventually moves on here if his new club persists with him as an RB or if he gets moved to a right-sided midfielder...or even maybe part of three centre backs.
