How well would Liverpool do with RL in their side?

[Dangermouth]

I believe they got rid of him when he was about 15/16, probably because he was 'too slow' and he is a L'pool fan.

 

Do you think he could do well in their side under BR and how many would he score?

[Barry Sanchez]

If Carroll is not in there Lambert would not be there either, Rodgers is an awful manager and I hope so much Lamberts scores a belter so the self righteous cling ons can start to get on Rodgers back, plus my local will be awesome on Saturday night!

Awful manager? How exactly you riddle that one?

Brendan Rogers' latest press conference:

 

Brendon Rogers today explained Liverpool's further fall from grace thus: "It's the ball," he said. When quizzed further by a pack of journalists whose collective eyebrows had risen further than one of Jordan's belts on a night out, the Northern Irishmen went on to expound his latest theory regarding why the Gods of Football had turned their backs on the epitome of football greatness that is/was (take your pick) Liverpool Football Club and why he hasn't yet been tarred with King Kenny's and Woy Hodgson's used brush.

 

"It's like this, " he lilted in that oh-so-suave voice that carries such authority and knowingness in its rich, deep tones "the ball is too round. You see, what you have here is a ball," he said, holding up a rather normal looking football, it has to be said "that is exactly and precisely round. I emphasise the word 'round', because that's what it is, you see?"

 

"Now this is what we have to play with and, to be fair, so do the opposition, but they're of a lesser calibre than us so they could play with a bean bag and still beat us, I mean, er...not be penalised by having to control a ball that just doesn't do what it's meant to," he continued, without gasping for air as he does like to talk a lot does BR. "What the finer, higher class of player that is a Liverpool Football Club player is used to is a ball that isn't round. Now I don't mean a ball that isn't round like a rugby ball, because of course that would be stupid, but a ball that is round but not perfectly round. There's a subtle difference, you see? It's not like you wouldn't notice if you weren't an expert, but if you were, you would. And the difference would be massive. About 15 goals a game and 3 penalties difference, to be precise? D' you see? And the reason for this is because the Liverpool Football Club's player's foot - that's the thing on the end of his leg, for the non technical among you - is also not round. You see? It's like they were designed by someone somewhere to go together like ...er...well, it's a natural fit." he concluded.

 

Etc...got a bit bored of it, but yeah, agree he can go on a bit and always seems to criticise the ref/officials as though in every game they're all always against him. Compare him with, say Chris Powell from a few weeks ago who simply said Charlton were beaten by the better team and 'that was it'. Nice and simple. And short.

Lambert would at least give them an option, they have nothing up front if Suarez gets injured or suspended.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Yes, Lambo would offer an option, and they are short up front. But as Rodgers has said, he wont sign players that don't fit his mould/philosophy.

 

It seems he likes players who are quick, mobile, sharp passers and able to run at players.

 

For me, I just don't think Rickie would suit Rodgers philosophy. I also don't really see him turning to a 30 year old.

 

That said, I'm sure Rickie would do well up there.

[saints-cris]

Didn't Rodgers buy Danny Graham? I'm pretty sure Lambert is better than him.

 

Liverpool are royally screwed if Suarez gets injured, so I'm pretty sure he'd be useful there at least.

You are right, he did.

 

But, from what I have seen of DG (albeit limited), he does seem the same type of player as Rickie?

[UpweySaint]

We don't exactly play route one football ourselves. Lambert has a great first touch and brings other players in to the game. His cross for lallana midweek was of genuine class and I think a side like Liverpool could benefit from a player like RL even if they might not think so!

Oh don't get me wrong, I think he would be great for them. I think he could do a solid job for any team he played for.

 

I just meant that I struggle to see Rodgers going for him. Just my opinion, one that could very well be totally off the mark.

Spot on point. I think they were naive to get rid of an england striker out on loan as it is and cant imagine them being attracted to idea of RL (even if he is a lpool fan). Their loss our game really, he's had a v good start to the season and long may it continue! Best bit, where he doesnt rely on pace, IF we can keep him fit then he could lead the line for a good couple more years no worries ...
