It's rare to agree with the whole of a manager's post-match interview, actually one of the things I'm getting to love about Lambo is I generally do, the man doesn't often bullshit himself (well, not by managerial standards anyway). Thought his analysis was spot on, I don't see what more he could have done today and in the build-up with the squad he inherited - even tho we didn't get the point we were worth imho I came away today feeling proud of us, haven't felt that in a while - and I truly believe if we can take this shape and togetherness forward into the winnable games, there's still a chance.
9* from me

what I like about him is he wanted the job and I do believe he will sort the mess he was left with , its a shame we didn't get a striker in during the last window to at least give him a fighting chance ,give him chance to build his own team before we condemn him .

8* Much more solid than recent Tottenham encounters,if only we had someone at the top end of the pitch to convert more of these half chances,could have easily had a point today against what is a very useful side. Much better all round performance!

9. Good team selection, competed with a side that usually thrashes us. Can't help the lack of quality he has inherited.

I’m struggling how I can knock the bloke down from a 10. The post says rate lambert well imho he did nothing wrong. Team set up well, gave everything they had, made the best of what he had on the sub front. It’s shit we got nothing out the game but that performance was bloody brilliant. Hence the reason the standing ovation from the crowd at the end

Really pleased with the effort and togetherness. I didn’t expect to be giving it a full blooded “We love you City” at the end.... Felt proud, and strangely optimistic
But, why the fuck didn’t we take this approach to some of the “winnable” games that have just gone. Sums the season up for me. Very frustrating.
Fuck it!

Not sure he could have done anymore today. Individual errors defensively and in front of their goal were the difference today, the way we set up was decent.....

Balance of the team was perfect within the constraints. Every player fought for the club and each other. Serious lack of quality in forward area's, hence the rating of 0* for Peter Coates and the board.

8* selection hampered with injury, fat players, dick head players and suspension, the team were clearly motivated, we battled and were unlucky, a big plus we didn't ship 4 or more. Gouranga.

Excellent today. Team was perfect, as much as could be at least.
-1 for the switch to 442 which killed us a little for 10 minutes.

8 from me.
We have played very well last 2 games against good opposition, the only thing missing is some flair up top and a goalscorer which isn't his fault.
I'm happy for him to be given a chance at getting us back in the top flight next season.

The bloke has just overseen our worst run in the premier league , lost three home games on the spin for the first time this season , admittedly he did inherit A mess , and the incompetentbin charge of transfers failed to deliver a striker so a bit of slack , we did keep going , and he turned up so 3 .

Can't blame Lambert for Diouf's inability at kicking a ball.
The real test is next week though. All well and good playing well two weeks running, time to get a win.

We can't win matches, which is why he was brought in. Bringing on Crouch summed him, and British managers up.

So you've admitted that he inherited a mess and acknowledged we have no decent striker yet you give him a 3 for that performance then ? That's just ridiculous.

If you're going to give that performance a 4 based on the fact that its not his squad then i cant take anything you say seriously at all (not that I did anyway)

Err he just lost three games on the spin at home , he’s won one of all his games , our goal difference is worse since he arrived , I reckon he will be pushing pardew for the worst record of the season by Swansea , 4 successive defeats and building , there’s more required to a performance than a bit of huff and puff

We were playing next seasons champions league team so i'm not sure how you can say that performance warranted a 3 today.

You can see that slowly but surely he is getting to know what players will do a job for us going forward. If someone new comes in before the start of the season they'll have to start from scratch and gauge things all over again. Surely its best to hit the ground running, he has also got a club out of that division before so know exactly what it takes. I think he deserves a crack at it.

It’s al about results and he can’t grind one out against Spurs , or Watford , or Brighton , or Everton , at home he comes over as a decent guy but his results say he is failing they are actually worse than Hughes even with three new signings . I acknowledge the ghost of Shankly and clough combined would struggle with this lot , which is why I said sacking Hughes wouldn’t make a difference positively at least m but he wasn’t right when appointed abd results show why . my greatest fear is we get the look what Newcastle did with Benitez speech , when Newcastle went down but the only things they have in common is lambert may have eaten tapas and they both get paid in sterling but One is worth less than £1m a year and the other £5m a year plus guess which .

My only beef with him is that he continually picks Johnson at right back without even having Edwards on the bench let alone giving him a start. Bauer has pace, Edwards is the best crosser of the ball at the club. Having them both on the right has to be worth trying = and I really can't understand why Lambert doesn't try it - or at least have Edwards on the bench as an option when Johnson tires - as he usually does.
Apart from that I can't really fault the starting eleven or the subs. As others have said, if we had showed this sort of shape and spirit from the start of the season we would not be in the relegation places now.

His position will be untenable by the end of the season but for his own sake that might not be the worst , he gets a pay off and unless other things change it’s another hospital pass as scholes and co accelerate the decline .
