Lambert has come into an underperforming team and in 3 consecutive starts has 2 goals and an assist... He's no nutmeg master but he's definitely a proper striker

He's a back up striker and is doing a grand job.

By no means a long term option though. Nor are Balotelli or Borini.

Turtyturd · 29-11-2014 11:54PM

He's not a proper striker for the type of football this team are supposedly set up to play. If you want to play Gerrard as a DM knocking long balls up he's your man, but to get the best out of the team a much more mobile player is needed.

A few weeks ago I couldn't watch the Newcastle game live so I recorded it,turned off my phone,avoided the radio and managed to make it through the day unaware of the score. Watched it later and wanted to die tbh.

Anyway...similar situation today...should I do it? My heart isn't really in it.

I couldn't watch it as was working. Don't have the means to record it so I decided to avoid looking up the score and read the match thread instead. So as to get a flavour of the rollercoaster of emotions a live viewing gives. Sounds a bit sad but I get to see the game vicariously through the eyes of ye folks! Worked for me, thanks guys.

Some of our play in the 2nd half was really good but I have to ask do people think Stoke were just rubbish or did Liverpool really do alright?

Bit of both, but there has been times this season when we've not been able to get a result even when the opposition hasn't been good. So it's still a positive.

Also, Rodgers needs to fix his teeth again, or get them re-whitened, or something. It was obviously that that made the team perform for him.

A winning smile, one might say.

Lessons from the past 9 hours, Kerrigooney needs to keep recording games and avoiding weirdos like us until game end. Also Kerrigooney needs to keep Brendans teeth intact. Also, dissing Lambert cluelessly is also loltastic

Jesus, as if suporting Liverpool in the first place wasn't maschostic enough!

niallo27 · 30-11-2014 02:32AM

What a win today. I think it will kick start the season. What was said at half time. Different team second half.

Off to Liverpool 1st thing for this weekends game, just hope for same result as last time o went to see Liverpool v Stoke which was 4-0

The real reason we won

:pac:

Didn't see the match, just the highlights. Johnson did very well with the goal. Great reading of the situation and super brave to dive in there.

Its his job and he gets paid a **** load as we all know. But fair play to him. Vital goal.

I couldn't care less what time Ballotelli goes to bed if he was banging in goals and busting a gut for the team.

He's not though and tbh I'd be delighted to see the back of him on January 1st.

It's pretty tricky but if I thought it would work,I'd do it. No problem.

Lambert has shown more in the last 2 games than Mario has in all his games combined and has to stay in the team for now.

As a Liverpool fan I went back looking for this and it's gone.

Also a shame to see what's been done to the thread since then.

There was definitely an improvement in the 2nd half. Intensity picked up which shouldn't be directly affected by the opposition. That needs to be a constant.
Liverpool have played worse against worse teams.

Liverpool v Stoke U18s two crackers here -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VQ94qHIRwI

Firth, Travis, Hart, Whelan, Polgar, Brimmer, Canos, Chirivella, Marsh (Maxwell), Wilson, Kent. Unused substitutes: Wheeler, Nicholas, Lewis, Johnson.

The under age sides have got such an array of attacking talent with hardly a "proper striker" to be seen.

rob316 · 30-11-2014 11:50AM

Delighted for lambert the last few games I was starting to worry the pressure might be too much and we wouldn't see anything of the lambert at Southampton.
2 goals and an assist in 3 games is a great return.

The fact we had not conceded in 45 mins gave the team and rodgers a bit of confidence to push forward and with a solid base in allen and lucas our creative players finally created.
It wasn't clinical but it was the most entertaining football since spurs away.

Coutinho is becoming such a frustrating player to watch. He has some world class qualities but there is no consistency or end product to his game. I would perfer to see lallana in his place a player with a good goal scoring record.

klose · 30-11-2014 12:11PM

Yeah i think lambert is showing his worth these days, great hold up play and great to win flick ons, if we had a pacey striker ala sturridge ahead of him winning those flicks on and making use of his hold up play we would get even more out if his abilities. Had a nice few touches and turns yesterday too.

But hey we replaced luis suarez with lambert right? Lol etc.. :rolleyes:

Lambert was signed as a 3rd striker, not as number 1.

Im aware, twas a tongue in cheek comment as thats what rival fans were peddling over the summer how we replaced suarez with lambert even though it was obvious we didn't.

5starpool · 30-11-2014 12:59PM

I didn't get to see the game live yesterday but had it recorded and then watched it 'as live' at 7pm. The first half made me regret that decision immensely, what a turgid display of non urgency, but thankfully the second half is as well as we've played all season (not saying much) although hardly a big cutting edge. It's a step in the right direction though and keeping that up against Leicester on Tuesday will be important for confidence. They are going through a bad spell themselves but will still fancy being able to get as us enough to get a result. We're still a long way from where we need to be but at least there is something positive (besides the result) to take from the game for a change.

Lord Trollington · 30-11-2014 01:08PM

The result against Stoke will mean nothing unless we follow it up with a win against Leicester.

That will bring us into a home game against Sunderland. There is potential for 9 points on the bounce, bringing us into a massive home game against Basel followed by United away.

Massive fortnight coming up in BR's reign as LFC manager.
