Dropping Lambert was a mistake. Rodriguez obviously picked for his performance V Swansea - but FFS, he played well because he was playing as a striker! We need to accept the fact that he just isn't going to be consistently effective playing anywhere other than up front. What I don't understand is that we play 4-4-2 with Lambert and Osvaldo playing, but switch to one up top when Rodriguez replaces one of them? It needs to be 2 from those 3 playing up front from now on.

Not at all. Judging him by his effectiveness on the pitch, which just wasn't good enough. With the opportunities he had - the one on one, messing up the lay off to Davis, dawdling on the ball in United box - we could have actually won today. That's what's so frustrating.

First half highlights were flattering to be honest. And yes, he was worse in the second. Hopefully just an off day.

He seems to give up far too easy watching the highlights back, closes down the keeper only begrudgingly. Hopefully it was just tiredness from his Italy performances - but he really was awful today. Don't buy into the whole "his runs are too intelligent for our players"...and how the hell can anyone be trying TOO hard?

Sorry, but i'm just leaving the ground and he was abysmal today. Nothing to do with lack of service because he did get it. I'm a big fan but he should have been taken off instead of Rodriguez as he was having a terrible game.

It's easy to forget that beyond the money and the glory, footballers are often genuine people living the dream. Considering he is probably the national pride right now it's understandable that what happened in Nairobi has affected him.

Has he played in all 4 divisions...?

If you try buying tickets it actually says that it doesn't have a partnership with the club and as such cannot allow people to sell tickets on there.

Could see around 100 Saints fans up there for this now, at best.

Is there no demo this year, just the beta? Can I get a refund on my steam purchase before the game is released...?

Sure you aren't just wanting to use his ticket whilst he's away?

Not going but I've emailed the Football League to complain as well.

Fair enough then.

Newcastle have got Man City that day, that's a far less distance...surely more sense to move them instead?

FFS it was a perfectly valid question. Maybe it could have been asked in the international thread, but who cares enough to get all moany and uptight about it...unless it's that time of the month.

Cole 32, Gerrard 33, Carrick 32, Lampard 35...

As said above, you should definitely write to the football league (and email the northumbria police as well) demanding compensation.

I don't understand why they think there will be trouble, they're both at home so they won't be travelling near/past each other they'll just be staying in their own f*cking cities.

I doubt Lambert will have had a better motivation in his entire career than he has now for the rest of this season. Surpass last seasons goal tally, and Roy cannot justify leaving him out IMO.

How about your post from before that in the WBA build up thread, in reply to me saying he plays like Lampard. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?46130-WBA-Build-Up-Thread&p=1760331#post1760331

Quite ironic he was speaking on a programme called 'the agenda' as he quite clearly has one of his own.

Why not try doing a round trip that distance, training and playing in south american heat before judging whether he's taking it easy or not.

Quite a 180 there. Nice to see people are starting to come round to my way of thinking though.

Tomaszczesny? I think not

1973 anyone?
