COMEONYOUREDS Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 Sounds like Lambert is not interested in playing football this season. Certainly looks that way at home games. Maybe it is time to off-load him come January and spend the proceeds plus a bit more on a proven striker, unlike a one season-wonder. More like 1996 child!

kraftwerk26 Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 i live in Liverpool and have been mates with his family for years and i know for a fact Lambert is happy at saints and has no reason to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 1976_Child is notable by his absence. Obviously sobered up now and realised what tosh he was talking!! If Lambert carries on with his current scoring rate, 2 goals every 5 games, he'll get 22 goals for Saints this season in the league alone - sounds good to me! 2 from 5 games certainly, but how do a wickedly deflected free kick and a penalty rate on the value of goals chart. We have 11 players on the field at any time who'd probably score from a penalty, can't remember the geometry of the free kick though, whether it would have gone in without the deflection or not.

Window Cleaner Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 Ok, let us effectively discount 48 MLT goals then. I always do, to me penalties should be counted separately to other goals from dead ball situations and goals from open play.

When someone tells me xxx is a shîte hot striker because he's scored 25 in a season I always check the penalty component of that. As is your prerogative but it's not something I do. A reliable penalty taker is crucial to a team, how many vital penalties did David Peach score ? Then there was Alan Ball in the last minute at Luton in 1977/78 to secure a vital win, a lot of pressure on that ? Few would doubt Lionel Messi is one of the best players in the world but even he missed a penalty on Tuesday when there was little pressure with Barca well on top and leading 3-1. Still at least that approach makes Frank Lampard seem even more ordinary than he already is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 16 September, 2010 Author Share Posted 16 September, 2010 1985 so you haven't ever seen Lambert play football? Actually, the last time you came to a home game Rickie wasn't even born! Lambert has been crap this season. Last season he was great. This season, so far crap. No room for has beens. If he was good last season, fine. Pay him. This season he has been crap. Kick him up the arse and get him to be interested. The team, the club is bigger than any one individual, never mind his past statistics. If he ain't up to it, then he is dead wood and he should be let go.

Smirking_Saint Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 TBF Rickie is a f*cking quality player at this level but not entirely indefensible. He isn't firing this season and is, looking from the outside anyways, appearing injured. For this reason i would drop him (if we ever get cover for him) if atleast to take the pressure off.

St_Tel49 Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 I've got no insider knowledge on this, but I've said to everyone I go to games with that I reckon a club in a higher division bid for Lambert in the summer and he's not happy about not being given the chance. There can be no doubt that clubs further up the leagues would have been interested given his goal scoring record and I reckon a fair few clubs would have been able to match his wages. Lambert isn't getting any younger and has never had the chance to play in the top two divisions, that must be playing on his mind and his heart definitely doesn't look in it this year. ....therefore everything you have posted is pure speculation. How about - he was injured in pre-season and therefore was well short of fitness. He is still carrying the injury but is being played because we are desperate - equally speculative and just as likely to be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am saying exactly that. He is off form. He is moping around the park and has no spark to him. Injury or not, he is not fullfilling his role. Lionize him all you must, but facts are facts: he ain't performing. A team should not be built around one man - one ego. So he may not be getting the 'delivery' from his colleagues, that does not mean he slopes off into a sulk and does nothing for the TEAM. Either he is a team player, or he is not.

Match fitness only comes from playing games. - When someone can turn around and smash a ball in from 45 yards, he has to stay. - When someone has the penalty record he does, he has to stay. - When someone can hit a free kick like he can, he has to slay. - If someone wins 97% of balls in the air, he has to slay. - When someone gets near on 20 assists aswell as scoring 32 goals, they have to stay. enough? - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful on the abuse old chum, else there might be an infraction coming your way. He clearly hasn't recovered from his injury pre-season, so isn't looking himself, but to say he is off form...? Yes, I am saying exactly that. He is off form. He is moping around the park and has no spark to him. Injury or not, he is not fullfilling his role. Lionize him all you must, but facts are facts: he ain't performing. A team should not be built around one man - one ego. So he may not be getting the 'delivery' from his colleagues, that does not mean he slopes off into a sulk and does nothing for the TEAM. Either he is a team player, or he is not. No ego should be bigger than the team. No excuses. Well done. You know how to use the 'bold' button. Bravo. Care to actually make an argument, in English, against my position? Ahhhh. So the worm is turning, methinks! Btw, shame on you for misquoting me. I never said he was "an egotistical piece of deadwood that we no longer require". What I said was (and you were so kind to collate my posts above): "If he ain't up to it, then he is dead wood and he should be let go." Notice the difference? I have highlighted a few bits for you to have a look at 1976, and if after that you still want to ask me how I have come to the conclusion that you are an idiot, I will point you back to these posts.

Dig Dig Posted 16 September, 2010 Share Posted 16 September, 2010 Hahaha. We should run the most thick as **** thread of the year award on here. This would win hands down. So do you think we should get rid of every striker which has a dip in form? We would need to get through around 20 strikers a season! Lambert is quality at this level and we would be ****ed without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 16 September, 2010 Author Share Posted 16 September, 2010 Noooooooooooooo... You said, spread over your posts, that he was egotistical, deadwood and should be moved on. dear oh dear. Listen sonny jim. You can't go picking and choosing words from different posts and rearrange them into a sentence, surround that with quotes and ascribe it to me. Is that what you think passes as rigorous intellectual criticism? I would laugh, but it is too sad. I reckon, that within a deep breath, I could 'prove' that Hitler loved Jews by taking your methods to Mein Kampf. Some where in that book are the words 'I' , 'Love', 'Jews'. All we need is a highlighter pen and we are done! Adolf loves Jews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 17 September, 2010 Share Posted 17 September, 2010 Is it not the fault of the manager for picking an unfit player? Just a thought. Not going to say get rid of a player that is a proven goalscorer (and in my opinion, he most certainly is), but of course if there are other players that are in better shape, play them ahead of him until he regains match fitness. Sentiment won't get us promoted, which I hope is still a realistic goal for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 17 September, 2010 Share Posted 17 September, 2010 good reply. But not very informative. How, exactly, am I an idiot? Simply this : He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool-shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple-teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep-wake him. He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise-follow him. Me ? I've just woken up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted 17 September, 2010 Share Posted 17 September, 2010 I'm sorry, but SaintsWeb Ltd ought to provide its customers with a greater quality of poster than 1976_Child. I, for one, find his posts to be ill-informed enough to be considered rather offensive. Thus, I, as a consumer, ask either for the poster 1976_Child to be either removed or warned for the abysmal quality of their postings, or I, a subscriber ought to be given a full refund, as the product you are providing me is of sub-standard quality.
