We needed to win and played with one forward.
A 4 4 2 with Berahinho playing instead of Adam and I genuinely believe we would have won today.
Just go for it now; at least 2 forwards must start.

We're wank every time we play 4-4-2.
The system wasn't the issue today it was the idiotic decision to start Charlie Adam and Glen Johnson.
The latter was OK, but Bauer is a thousand times better. Adam is a complete liability and has been for 18 months.

Play with one striker, play with five, we’re shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic. We have one attacking player who is good enough across the entire front three positions.

Let's not beat around the bush here. Paul Lambert is a bumbling idiot who doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
The dithering over making the first substitution when it was clear what was coming was something Messrs pulis Kemp and O'Connor would have been proud of.
The sight of Shaqiri gesturing to the bench that (presumably) there was no forward outlet because crouch couldn't run and Lambert gesturing that he couldn't hear him was embarrassing.
The selection of Johnson (who actually played very well until, predictably, his legs stopped working) ahead of arguably our fittest player was the decision of a lunatic.
Just sack the useless twat now. He's fucking hopeless. We should have stuck with our previous manager if this useless c**t was the best we could do as a replacement.
Oh...and why would you not recall bojan when you play that useless twat Jese?

Oh...and why would you not recall bojan when you play that useless twat Jese? We have 3 or 4 dangerous counter attack’s that’ broke down simply because we have a near 40 year old immobile striker upfront. The change should have been made 15 mins earlier, but no we dithered & left it too late. Don’t even get me started on Jese. A disgrace & a player I never want to see in our strip ever again |

To leave crouch on for so long Is abysmal management. At 0-0 they were leaving huge gaps which we could t exploit because of crouch’s non movement! We were effectively playing with 9 men. Lambert completely fucked that up today big time

Really? They could find worse than an unemployable, mumbling bumbling Scotsman who was so far away from a return to football management even the vile wouldn't consider him a worthy candidate? |

When you go into a consultation period with one modus operandi then yes, you limit your options considerably. We had a shortlist of QSF, O'Neill and Lambert, plus your mystery man. I have absolutely no faith in them to find better. I'm not sticking up for him, or advocating keeping him. |

I'd be a shit option because I'd end up with no team. I'd happily take to the pitch with shawcross, BMI, Bauer, pieters, badou and Allen. The rest of them I'd get shut of more or less immediately. I predicted pre match that Shaqiri would go off injured 2 minutes after going behind. Did he even give us 2 minutes? |

How anyone was expecting Lambert to be anything other than clueless is beyond me. He couldn't get a job in any league, in any country before we panicked and read his tweet. Inept management decision making to appoint him in the first place that is inexcusable. I'll be at the West ham and Burnley games but I'm not renewing with this shower in charge.

I think he has done well given the circumstances in all honesty. He's not glamorous like QSF which was a ludicrous idea for the Stoke City job anyway. I can criticise the team selection at times, but he seems pretty ruthless with dropping players which is a good thing IMO. I wonder if Jack would be dropped if Grant was available, feel like he was stroking Jack's ego a bit just to keep him a bit confident after some howlers.
He seems to have coached us better defensively. Diouf would have started today if not injured, might have been a totally diff dynamic

He's wank and we've conceded twice against another shit team that has won 1 in 21 on its travels. Lambert is an absolute fraud. He's as useless as kamara was all those years ago. He's Alan ball reicarnate...talks a good game, delivers absolutely fuck all. |

Winning double promotion is nothing to be cast aside. Be honest ask yourself if Lambert scored an own goal v Leicester If Lambert missed a penalty and rebound (I bet Lambo himself would have scored that rebound to be honest) You have a HATRED for the man, QSF or Strachan or Ancelotti -- anyone would have had a hard time here with the timing of the appt. and constraints of the squad and seemingly the board (recruitment dept) You keep saying Hughes was the better option to keep. He would have relegated us this season due to his management DO you think Lambert would have relegated us this season if he was appointed last may. Be honest because i bet you know inside our GD would be better and we would be around mid table security |

This balls up is totally down to the board and Cartwright for keeping the Hughes and the Taffia, piss poor recruitment then compounding it by employing a fifth choice manager on a 2.5 year contract, incompetence at best. |

Chief negotiator scholes negotiates great with shit that no fucker else wants. My fingers point firmly in the direction of coates jnr, scholes and cartwright. They make up the transfer team with the manager and those 3 are clearly totally incompetent. |
