What the hell was Lambert talking about 12:33 - Aug 23 with 5471 viewsTRUE_BLUE123

I am actually confused at what point he was trying to make. Saying that we also have a young side and not many senior players?? Then saying that Brenner could only give 5? But obviously Brenner wasn't going to name all of them.

Did anyone understand what point he was getting at?

I think he is trying to keep the pressure down as suddenly we have a few games that some fans might think we should win with easy . Football is never that simple .

He is simply managing expectations. Looking after his team.

I thought that.

But I don't know why he was flat out denying that we didn't have many senior players. When we do.

What PL is doing is very very clever. Taking all the pressure away from his players. There is a lot of added pressure on Ipswich in this game, we are expected to win very easy. If we don't, then sh1t will hit the fan. PL is trying to stop that.

Tomorrow is a no win situation just like when England play San Marino.

I understand he's trying to manage expectations, but he doesn't half like to make an argument out of nothing!

He could have simply said 'taking into account Bolton's situation, yeah we probably are favorites but you know we've a lot of youngsters too, there's no guarantee of a result'.

Also, he's said a few times in the last few months that yes a lot of our players are inexperienced but they're not kids anymore. They're 20+ most of them, not 17+.

There's definitely a growing animosity. On iFollow Tuesday night, Brenner pressed Mills a few times to call out PL for making errors. His tone made me think there's an undercurrent simmering away there. Reality is no-one has a given right to win a game so pouring cold water on a journo hyping up expectation in order to protect the youth from the mental pressure is a smart move. Unfortunately, Brenner again took the heat.

Another journo asked a similar question but PL's response was more measured.

It is strange because I think that Brenner questions have been good this season. Pressed when he has had to but unless it is a question about how great the fans are Lambert just doesn't seem interested.

Maybe we will see a Brenner vs Lambert fight at some point.

When any decent football manager speaks he is always saying what he wants the players to hear whether he is speaking truth or lying through his teeth.

Indeed, the whole 'youngsters' thing by PL grates on me a little bit. The only real youngsters are El Mizouni, Dobra & Clements.

Downes and Dozzell are 20, Emmanuel 21, Kenlock 22 and Bishop 23. What I think he probably means, is that they're inexperienced, rather than young as such.

Agreed.

Doesn't bother me as much as his praising of the fans.

We get the point Paul, now talk about the football.

Why does it bother you? What he's done with the fans is help transform the atmosphere beyond all expectation. He can blow smoke up our 6rses as much as he likes in my view. The rest can be assessed separately, of course.

Yes we quite clearly are favourites.

I appreciate that he has done loads for the club and helped improve the atmosphere. he has done a good job.

It just becomes a bit tedious. He gets asked if he thinks that last minute winners show good character. He replies by saying "well the fans were great, it was for them" Brilliant I appreciate it but it doesn't really answer the question.

I like him, I think he is doing a good job. I just find his press conferences utterly bizarre.

I just got very confused because people are talking about Lambo's presser as if uttering vague cliches about respecting your opposition ahead of football matches was a new thing.

Not so sure I'd go so far as to say he's doing a good job. We've made a good start points wise this season but performances have been very patchy and the less said about last season the better. He's done a pretty mediocre job.

Hmmm. Ultimately that's pretty wafer thin and meaningless though. It didn't feel all that together when boos rang around at half time on Tuesday night.
