But now we're playing a system to try and help the defence, but they're still making mistakes only now we're isolating our attackers and not playing to their strengths. We're doing our best to accommodate our defence and Stevie yet we still concede goals - hence why I believe the issue lies with the personnel and not the system.
I think we have many factors mingolet being too deep and the defence dropping off cos they are scare of any ball over the top is one. gerrard is another lack of forward options anyone has faith in is a third
Fast counter attack isnt really what Lambert was signed to do. Its not his fault the club failed to sign a more appropriate fast striker instead of Balotelli, so Lambert so not be judged for this. Lambert came in to do a certain job and has done that job well. He has just also had to do a bit extra to.
lambert was signed to thrown on for sturridge to rest that lad after 70/75mins when the game is won... he's a plan z to rest an injury prone player!
