doddisalegend Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Nice to see after tonights goal Lambert will now be up to joint 5th in the PL top scorers table (with 10 goals) ahead of quite a few well established PL big names. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers not bad for a player costing 1 million. I wonder if he can make the magic twenty goals before the end of the season?
Matthew Le God Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Joint top English scorer with Defoe. Roy to give him a call...?
S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 The best investment this club has made in it's recent history, certainly our most influential signing in my lifetime. He's singe handily taken us up 2 leagues, let's be honest.
Mr Saints Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 If players like Welbeck, Sturridge and Carroll are selected for England why shouldn't Lambert? (rhetorical question)
Matthew Le God Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 He's single handily taken us up 2 leagues, let's be honest. Although Lambert has been very important, that is very harsh on a lot of other people.
S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Although Lambert has been very important, that is very harsh on a lot of other people. In terms of goal ratio, is what I was trying to get at - just poorly worded. Still, such a huge signing.
Turkish Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Who is the poster on here who has a bet with a skate that he wont score 10 goals this season? Won it with 16 games to spare.
Turkish Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 If players like Welbeck, Sturridge and Carroll are selected for England why shouldn't Lambert? (rhetorical question) The thing going against Lambert is his age sadly.
S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Also, if bloody Jay Boothroyd can get an international cap - then Christ on a bike, Lambert can.
stevegrant Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 If players like Welbeck, Sturridge and Carroll are selected for England why shouldn't Lambert? (rhetorical question) Because Lambert plays for Southampton, not one of the "big" clubs. As well as he's done this season, I'll still be amazed if he gets a call-up.
Matthew Le God Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Because Lambert plays for Southampton, not one of the "big" clubs. Lallana was called up by Roy this season, after only playing 3 Premier League games for newly promoted Saints.
doddisalegend Posted 16 January, 2013 Author Posted 16 January, 2013 Who is the poster on here who has a bet with a skate that he wont score 10 goals this season? Won it with 16 games to spare. Wasn't there a poster on here who thought Lambert who score more goals than Torres in league 1 got the **** roundly taken out of them ...two years on seems Lambert might score more goals than Torres in the PL:lol:
stevegrant Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Lallana was called up by Roy this season, after only playing 3 Premier League games for newly promoted Saints. Come on, you know as well as I do that it wasn't a proper call-up. He was called up the day before the San Marino game with the sole intention of filling a space on the bench and didn't even have a training session.
Hoggins Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Can speak highly enough about him. He's an incredible footballer. There aren't many play-making target men out there.
Appy Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Come on, you know as well as I do that it wasn't a proper call-up. He was called up the day before the San Marino game with the sole intention of filling a space on the bench and didn't even have a training session. Wasn't it the Ukraine match? Sort it out Steve
dronskisaint Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Although Lambert has been very important, that is very harsh on a lot of other people. +1 - legend though he is
svetigpung Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Because Lambert plays for Southampton, not one of the "big" clubs. As well as he's done this season, I'll still be amazed if he gets a call-up. It would be huge surprise if Ricky got a call up, even if it was just to fill the bench up. Even that would be an great acknowledgement. But Roy does think outside the box more than the others. So who knows? God it would annoy me if Bent even gets mentioned. Or Carroll. Or Crouch. Heskey anyone? Keep it going big man.

I wonder if he can make the magic twenty goals before the end of the season? According to his Wikipedia entry he is just 3 goals off the 100 mark! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickie_Lambert 97 goals in 179 games is just insane.
sussexsaint Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Thought it was 98 last night , need that checking To go from L1 to the PL like this is the stuff of dreams
Thedelldays Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 He is proper SFC royalty Talk about him leaving or suggesting he could go at the end of the season are mental. Would be suicide if we let him leave.
Lazlo78 Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Thought it was 98 last night , need that checking To go from L1 to the PL like this is the stuff of dreams According to Soccerbase it's 98! http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=16995 What is the most reliable source for this kind of statistics?
Saint Bones Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 but he wont even score 5 in the premiership this season.....
Saint Garrett Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 When he scored the Saints twitter feed said that that was his 98th !
OldNick Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Cant understand why windowcleaner and a few of the other doubters are not on this thread. A lot of people do not see his good work off the ball as well as his intelligence on it.
ant Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Even though he's a tremendous goalscorer there's so much more to his game, it's incredible to see how he's grown as a player even since joining Saints. Towards the end of last night's game he played a lofted up-and-down ball to the wing that was simply DC.
saints-cris Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Scored against City, Man U and Chelsea now. Quite a few talented defenders he's got the better of. Deserves a call up IMO, hes got so much class its ridonculous.
Lazlo78 Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Very good read on Lambert: http://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/southampton/why-the-classic-british-striker-still-has-a-place-in-the-game In the age of mobile, versatile front men and false nines, both Holt and Lambert represent a dying breed. While it’d be lazy to depict the duo as identical in style – Lambert is perhaps the more technically accomplished of the two, with Holt offering a more direct outlet of play – both seem to fit into a mould of play detached from the perceived Premier League remit for a modern-day frontman.
Dr Who? Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 I am sure he would love to bring his 99 & 100 up against Everton, his old enemy! I am going to go for his 100 against Man U at OT for the winner in the last minute, and the real old enemy for this Liverpool fan!
The9 Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Very good read on Lambert: http://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/southampton/why-the-classic-british-striker-still-has-a-place-in-the-game In the age of mobile, versatile front men and false nines, both Holt and Lambert represent a dying breed.

Lambert IS a bloody false 9, FFS. He plays in attacking midfield with Puncheon pushing on ahead of him most of the time !
