missing key players is the excuse Lambert will come out with, doesn't excuse the pathetic performance...

[Chipsticks]

Let's all overreact!

Awful referee, but that's no excuse, we were second best by a long, long way.

Been a fan of Lambert for a long whle, but I am getting sick to the tits of our inability to get even the basics right - can't pass, can't keep the ball, don't move off it, don't use space.

Too many of these players are simply not good enough.

I am not making excuses for Lambert, but have a feeling that, given the new wage structure we are having to work within, that is going to create the same problem for whoever is our manager.

Very disappointing again from Weimann today - I can't recall a more anonymous performance than that. It was so bad that I didn't even notice Quinn's inability to pronounce his name until about 70 minutes, because he hadn't had cause to actually say it up to that point.

Rubbish performance. We were due an away defeat. Thank goodness we beat Southampton.

[David_Nab]

Makes a mockery of Lambert's we don't need experience shit.

A midfield of over 30 year old's one 37 completely battered us today

I'm beginning to loathe December as much as March.

[Tom_Mc9?]

It's games like this that commenting on the referee's performance is utterly pointless. It's the team and the manager's fault. Toothless. If you play like that you have yourself to blame.

Shocking from start to finish. I think lambert can chance enough points to give the part time yank the mid table mediocrity he so craves but his football is wank, his signings are wank and we are the worst team to watch in the division.

I'm sorry, this isn't knee jerk but I don't want him here. He is turning us into something that is going to be impossible to reverse. All we have is counter attack and I fear other managers will watch what Fulham have done today and see how easy it is to stop us....just like happened last year.

[fredm]

We need some leadership in the middle of the park. Completely devoid of ideas and movement there.

[Smirker]

Wank, as said in the match thread, would sell Benteke now if the money was reinvested in the midfield. Kozák, Gabby, Helenius & Weimann can all play centrally.

Sort this shit out Lambert. Cannot have a team who can't string five fucking passes together.

Parker showed our midfield how to do it today.
Awful tactics, no movement, resulting in long balls.

[NeilH]

Utter dog sh*t from start to finish. Not a single solitary positive note.
I've said it before and I will say it again, we look increasingly like a science experiment gone wrong.

[supertom]

The warning signs were there during our unbeaten run. We're a poor side overperforming. Tactically inept, short on quality, and riding our luck. Today the luck ran out and Vlaar's presence was sorely missed.

Most of our squad isn't Premiership quality. Our manager can motivate and get hard work but he's useless at organising things. Tactically he's clueless. Either he gets a decent right hand man or he'll eventually get booted because we'll slip back into the mire unless we address matters.

This has been coming for weeks now. Well and deservedly beaten. As poor as the ref was, it's no excuse.

It's going to be a tough Christmas I suspect.

I suspect that, if he persists with us playing long balls, the sizeable well of goodwill he still has is going to run dry very, very quickly.
