Hi Ed001,

I've been browsing through some past Liverpool players, not from the old days, but more on the recent past few years.

I would like to ask your opinion on Lambert, as both a player and a person. Maybe he is not as technically gifted as some of the more popular strikers back then. I remembered watching him played in a few games for Southampthon, I was kinda liked the player. He's not mobile, yes, but sometimes he did make some nice passes and seems like a really hardworking player. Didn't see much of him though when he was a Liverpool player.

So, what's your opinion on him Ed01? Maybe more on when he was in Southampthon. Didn't watch him playing for West Brom, not sure how he was last season.

{Ed001's Note - he just never got a chance for us, no idea why Rodgers decided to buy him when he had no idea what to do with him. He was a very good striker, no pace, but excellent creativity, that would have been useful playing off a forward.

As a guy, he had fantastic enthusiasm and a good attitude, which deserved better treatment.}

ed001 Rodgers ruined his career before the Liverpool move came about he was scoring goals for club and country, sadly lambert let his heart rule his head and paid the price, now the poor sod is working under tony pulis. To buy a player like him and then have no idea how to use him is criminal.

Considering he can't get in a piss poor West Brom team, and is a player that suits Pulis' style of play, that says a lot.

{Ed002's Note - You should really keep going after him - share the hate with another past, present or potential Liverpool player - it is after all the Liverpool way.}

are you sure he suits pulis's style of play? i don't remember him being a very typical target man.

Ed your say the owners what to win the league but you look at the other teams who trying to do the same and there buying better players.

{Ed002's Note - In which case you need to get Klopp out and bring someone in who has a better knowledge of the players available. An easy fix.}

When he first joined, he struck me as a player with excellent vision, touch and read of the game and a clinical finisher, just hampered by a lack of pace.

Would have been very capable backup option in a 4-2-3-1 and receiving the ball to his feet, then feeding in the runners around him, and would have done well with Coutinho, Llalana and Sterling at attacking mids providing the movement he lacked.

Unfortunately was never used that way (admittedly not really liverpools style) and we never played to his strengths, leaving him a shadow of what he was at Soton. have no idea why we bought him, but that wasn't his fault.

Lads lads lads. He was a decent player but come on. Not Liverpool standard. We all liked him. But still, not to the level we want.

Ed002, have you forgotten to eat your wheatbix lately?

Agree natural, hence why I called him only a decent backup option, but he was still never played to his strengths which made him look a lot worse than he was. He almost never played with Lllalana, and almost never in the 4-2-3-1 that made them look so effective we went and bought them, was bizarre.

2 b fair lambert can't get a start under pulis so somethings not quite right, you would think he'd suit pulis' style too.
