Lambert getting a bit of a kicking from the fans. "What's the point in him" "Sad times when you're playing Lambert up top" "Lambert is lower league dog ****" Etc.
He was getting that after his first 2 games as well. The glory hunter mentality of the majority of the English fanbase will never be cured.
Because they're idiots. Lambert's the only reason that England have had more than 10% possession, and it's nice that the commentators have actually noticed such.
I like this one. "Why are the commentators and pundits chumming themselves over Lambert? He's fecking useless!"
He's getting no service and has gone looking for the ball and trying to hold it up and then pass. Perhaps someone should explain football to them.
Usefulness is defined as running really fast before attempting to loft a back-post cross and instead hitting it so hard that it caves in the face of the opposing fullback. Carrick for Wilshire for me. He can generally kick the whitish thing to the people in the reddish things.
Cannot understand why he does not play more frequently in big games. On a team with serious problems linking midfield to attack, a composed, controlled player who can link midfield to attack ought to be a mainstay.
Me neither, I thought we all worked out last season that Carrick was actually quite good. And we've known that Lampard+Gerrard doesn't work since 2006.
Why is wilshere still on the pitch? He's a talented player no doubt, but he's done nothing but lose the ball today.
