Rickie Lambert (Liverpool -> West Brom)

Shocking performance bearing in mind he is younger than Stevie he should be ashamed with his lack of movement.

He was shocking but it's a bit unfair to compare with Stevie as Lambert never had much movement to begin with. He is way out of his depth here even as a back up striker.

I do hope the cart that he should be pulling has been put in storage somewhere

Be a shame to waste a good cart

According to the Guardian Lambert has emerged as an early transfer target for Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew.

Go for it Alan [for fucks sake].

It saddens me that a good Liverpool lad is unable to make the grade at Anfield even as a sub. The blame has to lie with our transfer committee and not with Rickie Lambert, let's face it he has not set the football world alight at his previous clubs.

If he is off, I hope he gets to fulfil his lifelong dream of scoring in front of The Kop.

Agreed - with the football brain he displayed at Southampton I thought he'd surprise people.

Sadly not, at least thus far.

Me too mate, I definetly thought he might take a few set pieces as well but Stevie has done pretty well in that department, hasn't he?

The above is not a slight at Rickie so much but a hope that he can go to a club where unreal expectation does not affect his game.

And now

And now

anbd now there are rumours linking him to WBA

Can only wish the lad all the very best if there is any foundation to the story.

That goal against Villa was a great piece of skill from Rickie,didnt saw that one coming.Well done lad.

Well done Rickie. Very happy for you and for us that you scored that goal.

Don't know what was better, the strike into the bottom corner or the little drag back that you don't expect him to be doing.

he has ability but is a random buy we didnt need to make but if he's happy for the odd cameo then so be it.

Hello from the South Coast
It's a shame Rickie has not succeeded. He somehow doesn't look motivated to me, when he is on the pitch
I do hope he scores in the Europa League so he can have the achievement of scoring in all four leagues, the Conference, both European Leagues and at International level

I apologise for posting this on Sir Rickie's thread, but when I posted on this thread Aug 19, singing Rickie's and Lala's praises, I did warn that Lovren was a liability and got called a 'bellend' for that by ConzS who observed he could be his own judge of his ability
I wonder if has formed any opinions now?

Happy birthday, Rickie lad!

Happy Birthday Rickie!

why did we sign him?

why did we sign him?

To be third-choice behind Suarez and Sturridge/squad option/rotation/last 10 minutes when you need to win the ball guy.

But we knew Suarez was leaving before we signed him?

We signed Lambert before the World Cup. The Barca train didn't pick up steam until Suarez bit a human being for the third time (that we know of! )
