jawillwill Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 Make a good impression tomorrow - score at least one, or assist two goals Stay fit for the majority of the season Exceed his gols tally from last season for Saints. Saints to finish top half so that his inclusion in the squad isn't too unfashionable. All IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1Minus10 Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 He's competing with Carroll cos there's no way Hodgson will take both so he has to prove he's a better footballer (not hard) and at least as good in the air (harder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 He will probably need to do all four and even then it will mainly depend on how the other England strikers play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 As some people have said since his inclusion in this week's squad, Lambert wouldn't be in it if Carroll and Sturridge had been fit. Add to that there may be an unexpected English striker that makes a better impact next season (Hooper or Agbonlahor potentially fit this bill) and realistically Lambert would need the luck of a few English injuries to get a call up to the finals squad. If we make it of course. Sadly I can't see it - otherwise everything the OP says is pretty much spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 If he has a good game, who knows? I just hope he gets a decent spell on the pitch to show what he's made of. We all know already, obviously, having seen him come up through the divisions with us and handle every step up without a tremble. I really hope he gets a proper chance and does well, if anybody in the game deserves that its Rickie Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangy Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 Hopefully Rickie can show that he has a lot to his game,he is someone that you could put on when chasing a game and you need to play with a bit more urgrency (long ball),Crouchy had a great record for England and he was nowhere near as mobile as Rickie. This is the first non competition England game in years I will watch tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 Just needs to take his brief chances for england and keep scoring for saints. No point worrying beyond that, just have to hope England show some sense. I'm sure there'll be injuries come May. I'd take Sturridge over Defoe now, but Lambert over Carroll. Good to have different sorts of striker, and Rooney and Welbeck are guaranteed if half fit. Pretty much this, tbh. SRL plays mostly in the space Rooney occupies, so it's either/ or if he gets picked and his game time would depend on Rooney's injuries or disinterest. To get picked, he needs to make it difficult for Roy to drop him for the next squad. Joe Cole had a story that when he was first called up, a senior team member told him every game he played for England' he was playing for two caps, this one and the next. But good luck to Rickie on Wednesday, he deserves his shot, no pun intended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Mullet Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 I fear for Rickie tomorrow, having to play with inferior players in an archaic set up. Expect it will spur him on to a hat-trick on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 Unfortunately he could score 5 and will still not get picked again once the 'established' and players from the top four of the Prem are available. I hope I am wrong. No doubt the press etc. are hoping he has a mare, and then Roy can drop him with his conscience clear, but then moan about the lack of English strikers.

He needs to make a very good impression in his 30-45min tomorrow... He needs to have a better season than last year (or at least as good) - and this will be harder because we are going to get some second season syndrome for sure. And finally... he needs injuries to go his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 If he plays well tonight, and if Saints are recognised as a side that can provide reasonable reinforcements to a senior england side (Clyne, Cork, Shaw, Lallana?, J Rod?) then potentially he could be a name on the plane. As I said before there are reasons teams are fashionable for England, its to do with numbers and tactics generally. Ill be watching and hoping he copes with the England tactics tonight. Carroll isnt a bad choice for England as a whole, he is better than people give him credit and is a handfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 (edited) It depends on how Andy Carroll performs this season. Hodgson won't take both, and if Carroll does well at West Ham then his existing tournament experience will work greatly in his favour. This is if Lambert doesn't score ~20 goals next season and prove himself at international level in qualifiers and friendlies.

Saint Claude Van Damme Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 I think he will be back in an England shirt again after that goal today. Hard to overlook him with the praise he will get from fans. As long as he keeps it up for saints we should expect a bit more international Rickie.

saintant Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Rickie showed in 20 minutes how to lead the line for England in a way that Rooney could never match. He scored one brilliant goal and could have had two others. The chance that hit the post was unlucky because the ball took a nick off a defender just before it reached him. When Rooney plays he is like a school kid chasing all over the place for a touch of the ball and this drags England out of shape. Rickie came on and provided what was needed - a centre forward who holds a disciplined position so that the rest of the team know where he is. Unfortunately I doubt Hodgson will see it that way and he'll continue to pick Rooney who will continue to run around like a headless chicken.
