I'm struggling to find a word to describe that. Execrable?
Quote from: pauliewalnuts on December 26, 2012, 07:26:42 PMToo many kids, too many of whom are not good enough.Too many lower leagues, low wages players.Not enough experience.The natural reaction is to vent at the manager, but really, this is just another symptom of the dreadful management of the club by Lerner and Faulkner,.I can't even look at the teams around us and take comfort from the fact that we've a stronger squad, better players than them, because we haven't.I totally understand what Lambert is trying to do, and I like it when it works, but the fact of the matter is, we have nowhere near sufficient quality in the side.Some - Bennett, Herd, Delph - are quite clearly nothing like good enough. Some - KEA, Ireland - are probably good enough but don't show anything like enough desire to prove they are.Lerner needs to take a look at where we are and reflect on how his stewardship of the club has gone the last few years.He spent 20m on players though, and few of those players are anywhere near good enough. ANY manager serving up an 8-0 and a 4-0 loss at home needs to have a long, hard look at themselves.

The facts are we were the 4-5th biggest net spenders last summer, and over the last few years in the prem it is the same. So blaming the chairman is all well and good, but does not tell the whole story. The money has been spent poorly in the most part.
Lambert had better have some fantastic plans for January, or it's time for him to fuck off.

Last summer Lambert did very well to get the players he did for the money spent. We have lost 2 games that most of us all expected to lose. Sure by a few more than we would expect, but we have Wigan at home next after a run of Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs, all 3 in good form. That is tough, and we got 3 points. Not the end of the world. We need Vlaar back asap, we need Bannan back in the side, and I hope Westwood and Baker are not out for long.Today we did ok in terms of stopping them first half, but losing Baker was a real blow, he was playing well and Herd had a nightmare. No question it has not been good enough last 2 games, but we have the chance to get back on track against Wigan, and then January. We have to sign a centre half, a central midfield player and a forward who would all walk into our side.
