Roger Posted 29 December, 2012 Share Posted 29 December, 2012 Was immense today. First half awesome, Merson just said he was only one showing any composure in the ball second half. Where's the9 and window cleaner today?? Scored first goal, made second, made third and also put jay rod through for potential fourth. 8 goals good return.

The Lambert out movement is a figment of your imagination, a bit like the Cult of Cortese.

Smirking_Saint Posted 29 December, 2012 Share Posted 29 December, 2012 I think a lot of it wasnt necessarily dropping Lambert but playing to his strengths, we did today and look what happened ? The past few weeks saw us attempt to play with a very fluid front line, he isnt mobile enough for that IMO but get the ball to his feet or head, chuck it in the box and thats what happens.

J Rod will be a decent player though I think Exactly this. And where was Lambert to score the goal? Lurking at the back post. A typical goal for him and well taken, however it doesn't remove the fact that he isn't mobile enough or skillful enough with the ball at his feet on the run to be ultimately the level of striker we will need to push on. For that reason alone, we will need to upgrade at some stage (not 'drop him' as suggested above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Well as SRL has scored 8 already this season which is more than Tevez, Rooney and Aguero and the same as Walcott and Dzeko I think I'm happy for him to be in the starting 11 every time no one else in our team is going to score more goals than Rickie IMO.

Pat from Poole Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Worked very well today, not sure where this leaves Gaston though, don't think we can play Rickie, Jay and GR in the same side without one of JR or GR playing out left I'd happily sell Ramirez in the January window if it funded the purchase of Brad Friedel and two proper solid centre-backs. Lambert is by an absolute mile the most important player at the club, far more so than Ramirez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 I'm guilty of wanting him dropped. I wanted more pace and movement up front, and JR given a proper chance. After yesterday I'm persuaded that JR and RL should play together. But, when GR plays in the hole we have the problem of playing RL and having no pace up top. We can overcome that by sticking GR out wide but compromising his talents. If we play GR and RL we have to compromise somewhere. Do we sacrifice pace and movement up top, or GR talents? It's tough but there will be times that RL will have to be sacrificed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that matter the whole thing would appear to be your archetypal 'storm in a teapot' it takes a big man to apologise/ admit you were wrong, we know what you won't of course. You said the thread was a figment of the posters imagination, i immediately found 2 who were saying just the same thing. The point was made and proved, it was not a figment of imagination by the original poster. Go to the Fulham thread and there are more doubters but I need not trouble myself anymore as I have proved you wrong. You had also made it seem i had started the thread which I did not, another mistake by you. As for 'assembled your thoughts in future' I suspect you may have to look in the mirror Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
