"The goals will come"

Where?

[eric woolban woolban]

Lambert your clueless.  He should be sacked before the half time whistle blows.

[SamTheMouse]

You have to think it somewhat a shit miracle that Lambert has gone from a progressive manager with attacking intent when he first arrived to this. It seems almost impossible to do but he's managed it.

I think he does have attacking intent, but just doesn't have a clue about how to make it happen on the pitch. There are seals lying on ice floes in the Arctic Ocean with more tactical acumen than Lambert.

[pauliewalnuts]

We pose absolutely zero goal threat.

[phantom limb]

I'm glad we've progressed from having 20% possession in every game, but our inability to score is just beyond belief.

[supertom]

God this is shit. Grealish needs to come on at half time. Gabby and Weimann are desperately poor. You can't play as attacking midfielders if you can't control and pass a ball.

[ozzjim]

Fuck me Gabby and Weimann are shocking aren't they. Neither have any touch, Weimann is slower than the little fucking donkey and neither creates at all.

[danno]

he'll bring Cole on before Grealish

[tim]

Ha ha - just turned on the sound for the steam I'm watching and it sounds like daleks commentating! proper comedy.

[Jimbo]

Gabby's left his brain in a thimble by the bed this morning.

[Malandro]

So how long ago was it we had those tough games and how many points have we had since?

[JUAN PABLO]

did you gabby then  just lose it in midfielder  ffs

[ez]

Agbonlahor is finished as a premier league player.

[citizenDJ]

we are doing better in terms of possession.

But doing fuck all with it.

We can't cross, we can't pass or move with urgency.

Well, that's what I mean by 'it's not really helping us much', although I suppose it must help with our improved defensive performances. But it is a start.

Just trying out positivity for New Years Day. It clearly won't fucking last, mind.
