Gemmel Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 I thought Lambert was excellent yesterday and in front of Hodgson, would gamble he probably did enough to see himself on the plane. He showed vision with his passing, more than a couple of times had twinkle feet, held the ball up when required and inches off perfect execution with his free kick. We have all seen him play deeper this season, but yesterday he reminded me of a certain Teddy Sheringham. Assuming that most of you will know what I mean by "The Teddy Sheringham" role or position, is this now Lamberts position for us next season?

Could work should we get in a good striker in the window. Problem is, when all are fit, who from J-Rod, Lallana & Davis gets dropped? Good problem to have mind, much like the Cork, Morgan & Big Vic scenario.
washsaint Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 Thought the same thing watching yesterday. Thought he looked far more of a threat playing deeper and his vision and passing at times reminded me of a certain MLT. Definitely think this is the role for Ricky next season.
Badger Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 We have all seen him play deeper this season, but yesterday he reminded me of a cretin, Teddy Sheringham. Assuming that most of you will know what I mean by "The Teddy Sheringham" role or position, is this now Lamberts position for us next season? Recalling Sheringham's skate history, I have made a minor amendment to your post.
Ohio Saint Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 Rickie still has a big role to play in my opinion. We have all these talented youngsters, but they can only benefit from an experienced and talented footballing brain such as Rickie, and, of course, it was in his later playing years that Sherringham really came into his own. Rickie/Teddy is an excellent comparison.

He obviously doesn't quite "Sit in the hole" like Sheringham, but the similarities are there and as already posted, can only be good for the younger players around him.
Minty Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 Agreed - his role has changed since I first posted that, but his skills and abilities are similar and very much suited to the Teddy role.
Saint Mikey Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 Some people really take the rivalry far too seriously. Sheringham was a terrific player to watch, the sort of player you pay to see. So what if he played for our insignificant rivals at the back end of his career.
ottery st mary Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 Yesterday v Everton........Mr Lambert showed what a very good footballer he is.....As always. Class act. Feared by the opposition in many ways.. Such a delight to see him make space for himself. Hold the ball up and some how place the ball to his team mates or dangerous areas. Quality.
FloridaMarlin Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 I was always amused, bemused and slightly annoyed by the media love-in for Sheringham when Venables picked him for England. Although Sheringham had no pace, that didn't bother the London-based media as he didn't need it. He had a needle-sharp football brain which allowed him to find space by standing still while the maelstrom stormed around him. He didn't need to track back or tackle and win the ball, there were other players in the England team to do the spadework. Their job was to win the ball and give it to Sheringham, who would make the team tick by playing in the hole and pinging the ball around. The problem was that what were seen as positive qualities when possessed by Sheringham were criticisms of Le Tissier, and the very reason he was a luxury player and could not be risked at international level!
Hatch Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 I thought he looked absolutely knackered in last 20 mins

FloridaMarlin Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 Le tissier was a better player than sheringham. No need to convince me. Le Tissier was treated shabbily by a succession of England managers.

Been making this very comparison ever since he was compared with Grant Holt, Lambert is a footballers footballer, just like Sheringham was. Made his England debut at 27 and his last cap (of 50 odd) at 36, so hopefully Rickie will follow suit!...
Coxford_lou Posted 27 April, 2014 Posted 27 April, 2014 He touches on this in the latest video upload Rickie always seems like such a good bloke!
