He's dead to me until he scores an overhead kick in training

Has been in dead remark.

I forgot to complete the post with "shocker". Norbs will understand.

I think we will play two up top in a good number of games - especially against the weaker teams. Whether Lambert will be the first choice in that situation I imagine depends on who else comes in.

It would be extremely worrying if Lambert is a stater for us. He should be 4th choice in our squad.

Seems to be off the pace at the moment. Not sure why tbh.

His penalty record is meant to be amazing - you just knew he'd miss his first one for us!

if i remember right torres missed a pen in his first pre season.

He's a good option when the play is condensed in the final third. He has great awareness in a crowded area. Sturridge is much better suited for more open games.

But didn't he then not want to take any more?

think it was more to get him off the mark stevie was always going to be main pen taker.

Lambert is struggling because he is not suited to the job he's been asked to do.

We'll revisit this later on.

It's all about fitness for Lambert at the moment.
