i have been waiting to see this all action midfielder Gardener, he has been a bit of a dissapointment, no where near PL level based on appearances so far.
Quote from: Ron Manager on December 02, 2012, 10:26:45 AM Wasnt too long ago Bent was front runner to be partnering Rooney at the Euros. Guess we dont know if that injury he had has finished him a bit like JPA but he would add more on one leg than Gabby anyway. Could be worth adding to the Bent conspiracy theories. Perhaps the injuries have taken their toll, and Bent has lost his pace, and Lambert is trying to keep it covered up before he is offloaded in Jan.

He looked very sluggish and could hardly jump, but that might have been because he missed a large chunk of pre season.

A bit harsh no? He's hardly a liability.
What is deeply worrying of course is Benteke losing his form. He has kept his performance level high so far. The law of averages says he will go of the boil sooner or later due to the responsibility he takes up front or injuries will take their toll.As Mr Lambert may sell Darren Bent next month for whatever reason I hope he has identified a big centre forward of some premiership experience who can fill in while Bentekes out. One that can score goals. Its a big ask!Or perhaps he has another system in mind?

unless Lambert has seen something that no other EPL manager has re Bowery. It's possible but ...
it was also a game we could of won

I'm as certain as I can be that he will do though given time.
