Cliffy Biro Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Got the team completely wrong and was forced into 3 subs, paid off thank god. He didn't get the team wrong, he couldn't start those players because they were just back from injury. To be fair to Lambert you have to admit that he got it spot on, had the balls to make 3 subs eventhough those players were all not 100% and it could have easily backfired. He's a good manager doing the best he can with limited resources. The team was completely wrong unless i watched a different game, the 3 subs undoubtedly changed the game but the very fact that we made all 3 on 60 minutes shows that he knew full well the team was wrong and the end result backs that up.

Actually, many of us are posting about how people did react. Lambert's getting slated for not starting Delph, Gabby and Weimann but it's blatantly obvious that they didn't start because they weren't fully fit.

lmarsha_926 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just 3 away defeats from 15 away games in 2013 yet we are a supposed poor side with no fight, Also 5 unbeaten away that has not happened since MON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I wish he'd started with the team that was on second half against Cardiff, not the team that started that match. Lowton at fullback and Bacuna in midfield instead of KEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They may not have lasted 90 mins but they were clearly fit enough to start. How can you come to that conclusion when they only played about 35 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I think PL was hampered with his selection due to the returning players only training since Friday, meaning they'd start on the bench. The starting XI controlled Cardiff for 90mins, whilst not making many goal scoring chances we still ended up winning that one. I'm sure PL would've loved to have started Gabby, Delph and Weimann but their match fitness obviously prevented it. Tonight, the players gave away two cheap goals (esp the 2nd with that pass from Bacuna) and PL changed formation, rode his luck a little and then brought on the subs knowing they'd have enough fitness to make a difference. I'd rather take the draw the way we got ours than the way Albion got theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the situation was reversed and we'd taken a 2-0 lead only to be brought back to 2-2 after the opposing manager changed the game with 3 substitutions Lambert would be slaughtered on here and the opposing manager would be getting praise.

AndyM3000 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Think hes got away with one tonight. Having Lowton, Gabby, Andi and Delph on the bench, we needed to start two of them, they would have been fine to play 45 mins then HT and another 10 mins and maybe take them off. It would have given us a more solid start and then worry about having to make the subs. Start with Delph/Westy/KEA Bacuna/Tonev (Wingers with Lowts at RB) Benteke Look a lot more solid with attacking options to me, then bring on Andi/Gabby/Kozak if needed second half and replace Delph with Sylla at some point. The result is done but it shows we cant afford to leave them on the bench, if they cant all play full game then sub one of for another, we cant afford miss that much quality from this team.

Avfc96 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Still think he should have played Lowton instead of Sylla and put Bacuna in midfield. But we improved in the second half and managed to get ourselves a point which is not all bad. Definitely needs to make some changes for the Sunderland game next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Sylla had an off night but he's usually decent in there and we get some good results most of the time he plays, aslong as the balance around him is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I doubt the 3 players were fully fit but clearly for 35 mins they looked on the pace and showed no signs of unfitness. They probably wouldn't have lasted 90 mins but not sure how after watching that anyone could say they couldn't have started the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It didn't happen.. so no need to pick fault with forum members for things they haven't said. My point was that had the situation been reversed Clarke would be getting nothing but praise from fans on here for changing the game wheras Lambert is being slated by many for not starting players that weren't fully fit.
