The 3-5-2 is just horrendous, a team like ours shouldn't do it at all. With an exceptional team like Man U or Barca, you can play any way you like and still win, but trying to do something like that with average players like Bennett and Lowton is just like shooting ourselves in the foot.

There is a reason why no-one else uses it, because it gives the other team an easy way of exploiting the wings.

Indeed. There's a reason we stopped playing this formation in 1996, and that's because when you face a good team with excellent attacking players, you end up getting battered. Only a complete moron would have stuck with the tactic after the Chelsea debacle, especially when facing a team with Gareth Bale in it, but that's what that chump Lambert decided to do. But never mind eh Paul, we'll just "pick ourselves up and go again" eh?

Lambert has been a complete disaster. He can't organise a defense to save his life. Norwich were bloody awful at the back last year and Lamberts plan of bringing in a load of kids has backfired big time. He changed to much too soon and alienated experienced first team players and now he stands on the touchline like a spare prick at a wedding. I didn't think he would do any good but to be worse than McLeish is quite an achievement. Worst attack, worst defense and the laughing stock of the premier league after being battered twice on national tv. It beggars belief people still chant his name, he is a clueless crock of s**t.

Tactically Lambert has been mostly inept. He hasn't got the best out of what he inherited and certainly for me didn't purchase the players we needed preferring to gamble on youth which we already had in abundance.

He has also made our defence worse.

If we don't win against Wigan then he must go!
