I think as much as Weimann has been off form, I think for the next few games he's got to be playing for his work-rate alone. Likewise I'd have Kozak instead of Benteke.

Plays shit - drop him.
Plays and runs around - play him for his work rate.

No matter how bad Utd are these days, we're still playing them....it's not as if we're losing to Aldershot

I feel so much better , thanks

 Oh yes me too! That's a whole bunch better knowing that it is the right of Man Utd to beat us and us not to even look competitive!!
Thank god for that !! I was foolishly expecting we should try in every game!

Fundamentally, our problem is that we've got too many players who aren't good enough.

It's not just about Man United, either. Often, we'll be playing poorer sides and still manage to look like a plucky lower division side playing a cup tie against a PL giant.

I'd go with benteke Kozak and albrighton at stoke .

Lambert has definitely been found out at this level, without the confidence of successive promotions that Norwich had he seems clueless as to how he wants us to go about winning a game. We look like a shite Championship team full of graft that's just been promoted.

Hey Sam theMouse,careful mate,saying things like that about Lambert won't go down to well with a lot of the posters on here

It's true though. His tactics are mystifying. Luna has been torn a new one all afternoon, yet there's been no response of any kind, no attempt to provide him with protection, and he's not been subbed. What does he expect to happen?

Ah look, the old "No one is allowed to disagree" shtick. Despite the fact that there are loads of people on both sides of the argument and nobody is saying your not allowed to say anything bad about Lambert.

Probably THE most childish stance to take on any forum.
