No, he's replacing JRod in my line-up vs Liverpool as I'd probably prefer JRod to Lambert if Osvaldo wasn't in the squad (as per my answer to your previous question). There will be other games where I'll prefer Osvaldo over Lambert and some games where I'll prefer Lambert over Osvaldo and other games where I'd play both.
This. I don't recall many people calling for Rickie to be "dropped" indefinitely. If our next game was at home to Fulham (for example) then I'd probably have Lambert starting but I just feel away to Liverpool is the type of game where I'd hope to see Ramirez and Osvaldo working off each other well, with Rickie on the bench for impact if we're chasing the game in the second half.
Apologies if already posted but just noticed that the Echo ban from St Mary's was lifted today...
@SimonPeach: Good to see the Southern Daily Echo boys back in the St Mary's press box.
