How would you feel....

[gervilla]

Personally, I think if we loose to Palace I will have reached to point where I want Lambert gone.

[Richard E]

What about if we lose to them?

Doesn't bear thinking about. I know we're bad but we can't be that bad.

[JUAN PABLO]

Until our transfer policy changes do people honestly believe we can make significant progress and play exciting football just by sacking another manager? What will any new manager be able to do?

[PeterWithesShin]

Get us passing the ball to each other? Scoring goals? Defending? How to take a throw in? Movement off the ball?

I love you really Mr Lambert.

I think we last did that in the late '70s, early '80s.

That's a mute point ;-)

Lambert has successfully reduced the wage bill and more-or-less building a squad which can survive in this league on a more than sustainable budget.  As a result I think it would be extremely harsh to get rid of him now when the purse strings could potentially be loosened, after all he's done most of the hard work.

The thing that gets me is that a few good spells last season aside our poorness on the ball is nothing new. Under MoN, Houlier and McLeish we had the same problems. A lack of movement, misplaced passes and an unwillingness to press has been apparent throughout that period under four different managers and with using god knows how many different players. That's just inexplicable. Similarly we've taken consistently shit throw-ins for a long time too. All basic stuff we have been getting wrong for a long time.

How Lambert, the man who for me has got the closest to having us play entertaining football is now getting it so wrong is just plain baffling.

I don't see how you can include Houllier in that list. You could clearly see his philosophy being slowly implemented and we played far better possession-based football under him then we have under Lambert.

We had many poor performances under Houllier although I accept that was a proper transition season. But just look back at December 2010....lost 3 nil at Liverpool (infamous Houllier love in with them), lost 1-2 at home to Spurs who played about 70 minutes with ten men, lost 4-0 at Man. City, lost 1 nil at home to Sunderland in which 90% of the ground was calling him to be sacked the next morning.

I still can't get my head round how we actually finished 9th that season considering we were in the bottom mix for so long. Those final two wins at Arsenal and at home to Liverpool were just flukes really considering what had gone on for the previous 8 months.

That 1-0 victory against Liverpool was surreal. Most of the attention was being paid to our beloved neighbours getting relegated.

[SoccerHQ]

Yeah it was the only time since 1998 we've beaten them at VP so when you win 1 game in 15 years against them yeah it's a fluke and we were lucky to get them on the beach on the last day rather than in March-April when they usually beat us.
