I actually think the problem is the way the team is set up

Last year Lambert played to our strengths by playing attack minded,delightful football. Hence the reason we scored so many and had a teriffic season.

The way the side lined up on Saturday was an attempt to contain liverpool. Our widemen and CM'S barely got over the halfway line. We don't have enough good defensive players to play in that manner. It's playing straight into the hands of the opposition.
