Name a better striker than is different type of player to Suarez and Sturridge that qualifies as home grown, is happy to sit on the bench and will give everything because he supports the club, will get around 10-15 goals throughout the season, is amazing at set pieces and is on under, £70,000 a week and cost the same price
***** Lambert is better than Wickham and Sunderland wanted like £7m a few years back they would probably ask for around £15m now and he isn't worth that, we don't need a striker who take 30 games to start scoring and it would damage wickhams career to join a club where he will rarely play he'll have no chance of fulfilling his potential on the bench the whole time
Wall of fame: Brendan Rogers. A few years ago. George Hicks was about to put Liverpool in a position where they could be looking at relegation in the face due to administration. Many years have passed and although Liverpool had no financial trouble, there was no structure to get Liverpool back to where they should be in English football. Since Rogers has come in he has implemented a new philosophy to how Liverpool should play football. He not only has got Liverpool back to around the top of the Premier League, but is also competing against teams who has spent so much more than them. Goes to show how commitment despite the ability is more powerful than just spending on proven players which consists of a lot of money grabbers. I will keep commenting until he is on here. #copafam #walloffame #LEGEND #YNWA #toomanyhashtags
Lets face it, not many world class/good strikers are gonna want to be backups, but Liverpool have been dealt a perfect situation in Rickie Lambert, a striker who knows the game, has done quite well in the Premier League, cheap and will be happy on the bench and getting a few games here and there as he's a boyhood Liverpool fan and so is happy that he's at the team he supported as a kid, plus he offers a new option, take the Liverpool vs Chelsea game, 1-0 down to a title rival, Liverpool need a new option up front, who do they bring on? Iago Aspas, a man whos biggest contribution was the worst corner I've ever seen, Liverpool also in that game started to be desparate and throw crosses in with no big men in the box, Rickie Lambert can be that guy, also he isn't bad with his feet either and so can suit Rodgers style of play, I think he is a great signing for Liverpool especially for only £4m. #RickieIn (Sorry for the long post)
Ahmad Ambon I'll sum it up: No world class striker would be a backup, Lambert knows the game, done well in the prem, lfc fan, new option for if LFC need a goal, Aspas takes bad corners, can suit Rodgers play, for only £4m #RickieIn
If there is one player hungry to show his worth, and do everything he can to do something for LFC. its Rickie Lambert, he has been one big smile since he held that scarf and signed that contract. He IS a plan B, as u say 0-0.. He is different too.
#WallOfFame José Mourinho, we always say that hes arrogant and plays rubbish football, that might be true BUT we also should look at the other side of José, he was recently hired as UN Ambassador Against Hunger, and will use his fame to bring more people to be aware of the other side of the world... (sorry for my bad English)
harry redknapp is the ultimate candidate for england manager but ofcourse he will never get the job cause the fa want a yes man not a brave loud manager thats not afraid of dropping the likes of rooney if needed, (not saying that it is)
sorankurdi Exactly, unfortunately England won't get anywhere until they start picking players who are on form as opposed to those who are considered the best players regardless of their recent form i.e. Rooney.
Davids right, Lambert brings experience to a young team and is a great back up. Poets just mad that liverpool are trying and bought a striker. and arsenal are not looking like buying one #Rickiein
#RickieIn Lambert is not only a superb striker but also a superb footballer, technically good, good finisher, clever movement and very intelligent football brain, good in the air and brings others into play, he's something different to what Liverpool already have up front and can give Liverpool that flexibility and also act as another playmaker,
poet is full of wank. Lallana is quality, he is proven premier league talent and he's home grown. 25 mil might be a bit much but it's better buying a tried and tested premier league player than splashing out cash on an unproven foreign player. Also we got Lambert for 4 mil who is also a proven premier league striker who has scored and assisted 10+ goals in the BPL last season.
Anyone who thinks Lambert is a poor buy at 4-5 million needs to start supporting rugby cos football is not for you. No striker Liverpool could have signed would have improved their front line, they have no problems up front whatsoever. Lambert for that price is great business. Take in his wages, his willingness to play second fiddle to the SAS and the fact he'll give everything when he gets the chance due to being a Liverpool fan alone is good enough reason to sign him. The fact he was gotten for such a small price and guarentees you around 10 goals a season, with a perfect penalty record and the ability to offer a different option up front makes his signing not just a good buy but a great one. Poets suggestion to wait till after the world cup is nonsense, any striker who has a good world cup will sky rocket in price. His suggestion of Remy instead is also nonsense. Lambert has nearly 30 goals in 2 seasons in the premier league, along with a load of assists, he also has a better fitness record than Remy, would command less wages and was much cheaper therefore freeing up funds for other positions in far greater need of sorting. Liverpool have the 2 top scorers in the league, a big money striker or one who expects to be starting is not what they needed. Basic economics. If people like poet cant grasp that then maybe tennis or rugby is the sport for you guys.
Ever noticed how on televised football matches they always have 3 letters to show which club or country is playing. For example Eng 3-0 Per. I wonder if that's why I've never seen NIGeria play GERmany at home before. #Commentoftheweek
He has a big hunger for Liverpool as it is his dream to play for them, he was a scouter for liverpool but was released at the age of 15, now hes back and is delighted and wants to be a part of Liverpool
people who say hes a waste of money are deluded and obvisously never seen the players we had on the bench last season, 4 mill for an england international we paid 8 for iago aspas who is absolutely terrible
Rickie Lambert is a great signing for Liverpool, he is passionate about the club because that's where is heart has always been, he has managed to score goals wherever he has gone, even in the premier league, i seen him play week in week out with Bristol Rovers and he was absolute class and i knew he would definitley get somewhere and for about 4 - 5 million is a great price, he has been in the premier league for a few seasons now so he knows it well and has proven it by scoring goals the past few seasons..... definitely #rickiein
#rickiein - In my opinion, I think you need an old, experienced striker that can come of the bench and maybe get a goal. You never know what could happen to Suarez or Sturridge next season. Football is a crazy game !!
Wall of fame Charlie Austin of QPR. Was playing for poole town in like the 6th tier of english football and also layed bricks as a job. 5 years later and he is in the premier league. Still only 24 yrs old.
Rickie Lambert signing for Liverpool must mean that Liverpool are expecting a massive bid from Real Madrid for Luis Suarez. If that isn't the case, it's a real waste of a transfer and talent because he always be on the bench if Suarez and Sturridge are fit.
are you stupid -_-" we need depth, look at chelsea bench, or city bench so much quality. look at dzeko as 3rd choice, waste of talent? yeah right. did you even watch football mate? Rickie lambert is not suarez replacement FFS...
Gary Clifford : So we are competing in 4 competitions next season and we don't want suarez or sturridge playing every fucking game because they might get injured because of playing so many games . They need a rest, They're Professional Football Players. U can say whatever the fuck u want but suarez is staying at liverpool and if he really wanted to complete a dream move to real madrid . he would have went to real madrid last year during the summer when we had no chance of playing in the UCL or winning the league but he stayed and helped us secure our return to the UEFA Champions League.
Rickie Lambert is a class striker, 13 goals in the premier league last year in Southampton, has the experience, now we actually have someone who is renound for their heading ability #RickyIn
Since lambert joined southampton in 2009 he has been top scorer ever since til this season when he has gone to his home town liverpool lambert class good signing
lambert is a greta signing, good price,brings enthusiasm, a proven record in the premiership, and excells at linking up other players. Plus its not like remy or any other capable striker would take being 3rd choice
I am a saints fan but I wish Lambert all the best at Liverpool and in his international career as he is a true legend for Southampton. He began in the conference to be spotted by Southampton and moved from league 2 to the premier league in 4 years scoring 50+ goals in the championship. A goal tally of 100+ goals is an amazing achievement for any striker but especially for a striker that was in the conference 5 years ago, now to be jetting off to the World Cup as one of the 4 strikers chosen to go to Brazil. #Legend
LANDON DONOVAN for wall of fame, his run with the US national team is over, he has been the best American player we've seen yet and went out with pride
Hes not going to be the next gerrard when he's at the peak of his career, and i highly doubt at any stage of his career he will be rated as one of the best players in the world or nominated for the ballon d'or. But he will be a decent signing none the less
The funny thing is Poet, Liverpool could have three players, Lambert, Sturridge and Suarez who score more goals individually than what Arsenals leading goalscorer can manage to score individually next season. How many goals did Dzeko, Negredo and Aguero score between them this season? I think I'd take the Liverpool three, over those three. Also Lambert won't be a back up player, yes he'll be third choice but he'll be more of a rotation player, he'll get plenty of game time.
#RickieIn First of all we're not going to use rickie that much, he's just going to be sitting in the bench for our backup striker. we DO need a backup striker cuz our current backup SUCKS (Aspas). second of all, lambert's a liverpool fan, he has dreamt of playing for liverpool this means he'll sit on the bench and would still give his 200% when he's on the pitch. third of all he scored 15 goals and got 10 (TEN) assist last season. And last, he was bought for 4.5 mil (which is pretty cheap for a descent striker), so.. WHAT THE FUCK COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? :)
So many reasons why #RickieIn . He'll sit on the bench without any noise because he's just happy to be at the club, he's recorded double digits for goals and assists in the past few seasons and he provides a more beefy threat in front of goal.
#RickieIn Lambert is a very technical player, and shouldn't even be compared to Andy Caroll. Lambo's lifelong dream was to play at Liverpool and he will be motivated. He is willing to be a backup at Liverpool rather than start at another premier league club. Bigger profile strikers wouldn't want to sit on the bench at Liverpool, but Rickie is willing to.
#Rickieout you shouldn't buy a 32 year old striker. bad move for Rodger. If they sign Lamella I think it might be good so he can develop under a good Manger like Rodger
Diego vallas Why would we go for Lamella? didnt even know we were linked with him?? And we only needed a back up striker, Lamberts cheap and experienced. I can already tell you his going to be a much better back up striker than Iago Spastic.
you have a point buy lamella is overpriced and is too much of a high risk buy, i think alexis sanchez, tello , el shaarwry or even adel taarabt would be better options for liverpool
#RickieIn Our bench is absolute sh*t, we bought Aspas for 8m and Ricky for 4m, One is a England International, the other is shit, nothing can go on, and he'll give everything for his boyhood club.
Gareth Edmonds Welbeck is shit mate, Rooney lose his class, he is really different from the rooney i know in euro 2004, rooney 2004 is way better than the current rooney (i think he become lazy?) and welbeck is nowhere near rooney i would rather have rickie lambert to start than welbeck anyway
He's a good manager for Southampton but that step up to a bigger club (coming from an arsenal fan) could create another moyes situation, spuds will have to be patient with him
Lambert was a very good buy, offers a physical presence that Liverpool don't have up front, and he had the third most assists in the league and 13 goals. For 4 mill its a very shrewd purchase.
Games like the chelsea one last season when liverpool needed plan b,this is why rodger is adding lambert,think it's a good move myself, nice to have different options up top when thing's arent working.
#RickieIn Rickie Lambert is an amazing striker, good with his head, offering something different to suarez and sturridge, scores for set pieces and also a specialist penalty kicker (hasnt missed for southampton). Hes also a lifelong lfc fan so hes gonna give that extra 10% whenever he comes on
#Brazil A few suggestions: 1. Go around town scaring people. The creativity of how you do it is up to you. Do it for 30min and see who scared the most people. 2. See how many Brigadeiro you can fit in your mouth! Brigaderios are Brazilian chocolates usually served at birthdays! For you POET! 3. If "Maradona" is coming with you guys, have him make a guys do a scavenger hunt to find three objects (this can include taking a selfie at a landmark, finding a USA fan, finding a place that sells Brigadeiro, locating a Jamaican restaurant, etc.) First to get the three items wins! Loser has to eat a spicy dish or buy the other and England Jersey! BONUS. Find an orphanage and donate some supplies (old clothes,toys, etc) and see how many smiles you can get. :) #challengetime
Frank Lampard for #walloffame. 13 years, 648 apps, 211 goals for chelsea. My best Chelsea player and arguably the best midfielder of the decade. Felt like he had to be recognised for this feat.
Lambert is a great signing, massive Liverpool fan and will know he won't play every game, he's the type of player to bring on and he'll play his heart out, plus his goals & assists record is tremendous. He offers something different to our other options as well. £4 million is a bargain. Plus, would Remy happily sit on the bench?. I'm definitely #RickieIn
How is Lambert not offering something else? That's precisely what he's doing. And, as a saints fan, I've seen Lambert grow and grow and you can tell Liverpool means the world to him. Its been his dream to play for his hometown team and he offers something that football seems to have lost; a sense of pride #RickieIn
Age 19 Lambert was working in a pickling factory before accepting £20 a week to play for Macclesfield. Age 32, signed for Liverpool and plays for England. There is hope for us yet people, our time may come ;)
#rickiein he'll give everything in every match as he is a massive Liverpool fan. He's also experienced in the Premier League and has scored 28 goals in his two seasons in the Premier League
Lambert is a great choice, experienced in England and has scored consistently his past 2 years at Southampton (avg 14 goal a year). I think he'll still have that hunger in him with excitement of being back at Liverpool. No starter but a great 3rd choice striker. #rickiein
#Rickiein He's a liverpool fan, He's played in the lower leagues of england his whole career with Rochdale and Stockport County. Now he has his chance to play for the team he supports in the Premier League, he's coming towards the end of his career. At least he'll play with passion and without a doubt will be trying his best and won't just be there to pick up his wages after the match.
Theres not many clubs with a better 3rd striker than lambert, and you know that 23 year old italian striker Borini. In games like the chelsea one they completely stopped us playing our football, bringing on someone like lambert can completely change up our tactics giving us a plan B
#RickieIn for sure. Lambert is a quality striker who has an eye for goals and he will be a great player off our bench. Last season, our 'super subs' were either Moses or Aspas, (both utter shit) But now with Lambert we add a level of depth we didnt have before and with Champions League, domestic cups, and the Prem. League competitions themselves, we are going to need someone who can take some pressure of of S&S.
I'm from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu , Quebec , Canada. It is the only place in America alongside the french Guiana where we still speak french. #showsomelove #whereareyoufrom
Poet is saying SAS and sterling are on, its the last 10 lambert isnt the striker that can change the game but say he starts and then bring on the top strikers you never know
#Rickiein He will be a great sub to have! Well experienced, scores goals. Natural goal scorer! Besides Rickie Lambert always wanted to play for Liverpool since he was young, that another reason why he's going!
#rickiein He is a solid proper English striker. He is a scouser and this is what he has wanted his whole life. He will pour his heart and soul in for the team and with all the deals going through with Southampton, we are looking to pick up lallana and Lovren as well for most likely a cheaper price to avoid certain clauses I believe.
Completely agree with Poet. England need to strip back to the bone and rebuild a new young squad. We may not win anything for a few years but the squad will gel and I think that as good as the players we've previously had England has never really felt like a team, just a bunch of individuals. So if we give a young squad time to gel and become a team who knows what could happen?
I think Lambert is a good signing. He's extremely different from Sturridge and Suarez, and really every other attacker we have - and that's a good thing. This season we were at times too static. If we meet a team who's just sitting comfortably back there's really nothing we can do. Suarez would have to dribble for instance 10 Chelsea players to score, and we all know that's not gonna happen. Everything we did in those situations this season was to attempt to win set pieces, and move up Skrtel. With Lambert we actually got a player who's got a remote chance of winning in the air, and scoring from a cross. Also, he's not bad with the ball - and a pretty good passer. He's also a Red, and will give it his all every time. I'm optimistic. #RickieIn
Group H: 1st Belgium, they have such a strong Squad with lukaku op front, hazard and Mirallas on the wing, Kompany, Verthonghen and Vermaelen in defence and Coutois in the goal! 2nd Russia, they have a very organised and experienced Squad....
Poet, not only is July 1st your birthday, it's also the greatest National holiday in the world, Canada Day. Therefore on July 1st, you must wear a Canadian shirt.
#RickinIn He scores goals in the premier league also the 3rd highest assister in the league last season after Suarez and Gerrard and also above Silva, Yaya and Ozil.
Lambert is the right choice. What kind of young promising striker will want to sit on the bench and play 3rd choice to SAS? No-one. An "old" guy, Liverpool through and through, hard worker, gives 110%. It makes perfect sense to me.
#Rickiein power in Lambert, class in Suarez and Flare in Sturridge..
Flair? He is 32 years old
saudigamersx Wow, then I guess Sturridge ages really fast.
Lol
class? i didn't know diving every 5 minutes and biting someone was considered class?
O Bell
O shut up!
Not a waste of money, We have a SHOCKING bench!
Name a better striker than is different type of player to Suarez and Sturridge that qualifies as home grown, is happy to sit on the bench and will give everything because he supports the club, will get around 10-15 goals throughout the season, is amazing at set pieces and is on under, £70,000 a week and cost the same price
Wickham
***** But liverpool needs a lot of signings and 4mill for Lambert instead of like 15 or even 20 for a young Wickham.
Lord Bendtner
Meg Griffin shut up meg.
***** Lambert is better than Wickham and Sunderland wanted like £7m a few years back they would probably ask for around £15m now and he isn't worth that, we don't need a striker who take 30 games to start scoring and it would damage wickhams career to join a club where he will rarely play he'll have no chance of fulfilling his potential on the bench the whole time

Lallana for 20m, maybe.
25m is taking the piss.

20m max.

ByronD000 Reading one long comment is only the same as reading a few different short comments. So ya, id say people do have time.
Lambert is quality, 2nd most assists by striker behind suarez and top English scorer in 12/13 season. Great passer,

Defo! Aspas replacement is Lambert
Rickie Lambert is a great signing for Liverpool, he is passionate about the club because that's where is heart has always been, he has managed to score goals wherever he has gone, even in the premier league, i seen him play week in week out with Bristol Rovers and he was absolute class and i knew he would definitley get somewhere and for about 4 - 5 million is a great price, he has been in the premier league for a few seasons now so he knows it well and has proven it by scoring goals the past few seasons..... definitely #rickiein

#rickiein - In my opinion, I think you need an old, experienced striker that can come of the bench and maybe get a goal. You never know what could happen to Suarez or Sturridge next season. Football is a crazy game !!
Lambert 13 goals 3rd most assists more than silva and ozil and only for 4.5 mil , could do much worse mate

Since lambert joined southampton in 2009 he has been top scorer ever since til this season when he has gone to his home town liverpool lambert class good signing

Joey Barton for England Manager
If he does I will break down laughing
LANDON DONOVAN for wall of fame, his run with the US national team is over, he has been the best American player we've seen yet and went out with pride
Lallana is worth it, he'll be the next Steven Gerrard
lol, don't even compare them...
Connor Ross How did he compare both players?Can you not read?
Lallana is 26 years old..
Hes not going to be the next gerrard when he's at the peak of his career, and i highly doubt at any stage of his career he will be rated as one of the best players in the world or nominated for the ballon d'or. But he will be a decent signing none the less
Good joke.
The funny thing is Poet, Liverpool could have three players, Lambert, Sturridge and Suarez who score more goals individually than what Arsenals leading goalscorer can manage to score individually next season. How many goals did Dzeko, Negredo and Aguero score between them this season? I think I'd take the Liverpool three, over those three. Also Lambert won't be a back up player, yes he'll be third choice but he'll be more of a rotation player, he'll get plenty of game time.
#rickiein
Lambert is an awesome striker and seen as though liverpool will be playing champs league next year they will need strength in depth
forgot your #rickiein
#RickieIn First of all we're not going to use rickie that much, he's just going to be sitting in the bench for our backup striker. we DO need a backup striker cuz our current backup SUCKS (Aspas). second of all, lambert's a liverpool fan, he has dreamt of playing for liverpool this means he'll sit on the bench and would still give his 200% when he's on the pitch. third of all he scored 15 goals and got 10 (TEN) assist last season. And last, he was bought for 4.5 mil (which is pretty cheap for a descent striker), so.. WHAT THE FUCK COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? :)
So many reasons why #RickieIn . He'll sit on the bench without any noise because he's just happy to be at the club, he's recorded double digits for goals and assists in the past few seasons and he provides a more beefy threat in front of goal.
On a scale of one to ten what is your favourite colour of the alphabet
just watched W2S Q+A haha?
The concept of stealing jokes itself isnt even original anymore.
7 because red is my favorite letter.
U got dat from ksi +jameslove
#WhereAreYouFrom Watching from Cyprus im sure you know where that is. Anyway love the show keep it up :)
#NextEnglandManager Piers Morgan
#RickieIn Lambert is a very technical player, and shouldn't even be compared to Andy Caroll. Lambo's lifelong dream was to play at Liverpool and he will be motivated. He is willing to be a backup at Liverpool rather than start at another premier league club. Bigger profile strikers wouldn't want to sit on the bench at Liverpool, but Rickie is willing to.
#Rickieout you shouldn't buy a 32 year old striker. bad move for Rodger. If they sign Lamella I think it might be good so he can develop under a good Manger like Rodger
I was talking about lamella
Diego vallas Why would we go for Lamella? didnt even know we were linked with him?? And we only needed a back up striker, Lamberts cheap and experienced. I can already tell you his going to be a much better back up striker than Iago Spastic.
No way for 30 mil what you on , crack??!
In Rodgers we trust
you have a point buy lamella is overpriced and is too much of a high risk buy, i think alexis sanchez, tello , el shaarwry or even adel taarabt would be better options for liverpool
Lamela*
#RickieIn Our bench is absolute sh*t, we bought Aspas for 8m and Ricky for 4m, One is a England International, the other is shit, nothing can go on, and he'll give everything for his boyhood club.
#Rickiein better then Aspas at least...
Remy doesn't want to be 3rd choice Lambert is a Liverpool fan who won't mind not playing every game.
What is the most sexual thing on earth? The wind because it blows everyone
Lambert was a great choice. He is a big Liverpool supporter, he came home. He can replace Suarez or Sturiddge when they are tired.
also Copa90 why do we play welbeck for england? hes rubbish and he cant kick a ball? surely we could play sterling or the ox for him?? your thoughts??
Welbeck is the new Rooney mate, he will succeed
Gareth Edmonds
Welbeck is shit mate, Rooney lose his class, he is really different from the rooney i know in euro 2004, rooney 2004 is way better than the current rooney (i think he become lazy?) and welbeck is nowhere near rooney i would rather have rickie lambert to start than welbeck anyway
Jack Logan exaclty welbeck couldnt kick a ball for his life
He's a good manager for Southampton but that step up to a bigger club (coming from an arsenal fan) could create another moyes situation, spuds will have to be patient with him
Lambert was a very good buy, offers a physical presence that Liverpool don't have up front, and he had the third most assists in the league and 13 goals. For 4 mill its a very shrewd purchase.
Games like the chelsea one last season when liverpool needed plan b,this is why rodger is adding lambert,think it's a good move myself, nice to have different options up top when thing's arent working.
#RickieIn Rickie Lambert is an amazing striker, good with his head, offering something different to suarez and sturridge, scores for set pieces and also a specialist penalty kicker (hasnt missed for southampton). Hes also a lifelong lfc fan so hes gonna give that extra 10% whenever he comes on
#Brazil A few suggestions:
1. Go around town scaring people. The creativity of how you do it is up to you. Do it for 30min and see who scared the most people.
2. See how many Brigadeiro you can fit in your mouth! Brigaderios are Brazilian chocolates usually served at birthdays! For you POET!
3. If "Maradona" is coming with you guys, have him make a guys do a scavenger hunt to find three objects (this can include taking a selfie at a landmark, finding a USA fan, finding a place that sells Brigadeiro, locating a Jamaican restaurant, etc.) First to get the three items wins! Loser has to eat a spicy dish or buy the other and England Jersey!
BONUS. Find an orphanage and donate some supplies (old clothes,toys, etc) and see how many smiles you can get. :) #challengetime
Frank Lampard for #walloffame. 13 years, 648 apps, 211 goals for chelsea. My best Chelsea player and arguably the best midfielder of the decade. Felt like he had to be recognised for this feat.
#Rickiein and lallana is worth it because he is a quality player I think all saints fans will agree
Lambert is a great signing, massive Liverpool fan and will know he won't play every game, he's the type of player to bring on and he'll play his heart out, plus his goals & assists record is tremendous. He offers something different to our other options as well. £4 million is a bargain. Plus, would Remy happily sit on the bench?. I'm definitely #RickieIn
How is Lambert not offering something else? That's precisely what he's doing. And, as a saints fan, I've seen Lambert grow and grow and you can tell Liverpool means the world to him. Its been his dream to play for his hometown team and he offers something that football seems to have lost; a sense of pride #RickieIn
#RickieIn he scores goals and understands everything
Age 19 Lambert was working in a pickling factory before accepting £20 a week to play for Macclesfield. Age 32, signed for Liverpool and plays for England. There is hope for us yet people, our time may come ;)
thoughts on deigo costa going to chelsea for 32mil?
#rickiein he'll give everything in every match as he is a massive Liverpool fan. He's also experienced in the Premier League and has scored 28 goals in his two seasons in the Premier League
Sometimes i like to stare at the wall and imagine what it would look like if a picture was there
Lambert is a great choice, experienced in England and has scored consistently his past 2 years at Southampton (avg 14 goal a year). I think he'll still have that hunger in him with excitement of being back at Liverpool. No starter but a great 3rd choice striker. #rickiein
Talk about the Cesc transfer saga. Its getting to a point where i literally don't care where he goes now. (Arsenal fan)
Lallana is so worth it. 25% goes to Bournemouth so we are rejecting bids until £20 million goes to Saints.
#Rickiein He's a liverpool fan, He's played in the lower leagues of england his whole career with Rochdale and Stockport County. Now he has his chance to play for the team he supports in the Premier League, he's coming towards the end of his career. At least he'll play with passion and without a doubt will be trying his best and won't just be there to pick up his wages after the match.
Theres not many clubs with a better 3rd striker than lambert, and you know that 23 year old italian striker Borini. In games like the chelsea one they completely stopped us playing our football, bringing on someone like lambert can completely change up our tactics giving us a plan B
Rickiein hes a decent striker and a great free kick and penalty taker :)
#RickieIn for sure. Lambert is a quality striker who has an eye for goals and he will be a great player off our bench. Last season, our 'super subs' were either Moses or Aspas, (both utter shit) But now with Lambert we add a level of depth we didnt have before and with Champions League, domestic cups, and the Prem. League competitions themselves, we are going to need someone who can take some pressure of of S&S.
I'm from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu , Quebec , Canada. It is the only place in America alongside the french Guiana where we still speak french. #showsomelove #whereareyoufrom
Poet is saying SAS and sterling are on, its the last 10 lambert isnt the striker that can change the game but say he starts and then bring on the top strikers you never know
#Rickiein He will be a great sub to have! Well experienced, scores goals. Natural goal scorer! Besides Rickie Lambert always wanted to play for Liverpool since he was young, that another reason why he's going!
Some very smart saves from Joe Hart tonight. He really is Head & Shoulders above the other English keepers.
#rickiein He is a solid proper English striker. He is a scouser and this is what he has wanted his whole life. He will pour his heart and soul in for the team and with all the deals going through with Southampton, we are looking to pick up lallana and Lovren as well for most likely a cheaper price to avoid certain clauses I believe.
How does a Liverpool fan change a light bulb? He doesn't, he just sits in the dark and talks about how good the old one was
I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
Completely agree with Poet. England need to strip back to the bone and rebuild a new young squad. We may not win anything for a few years but the squad will gel and I think that as good as the players we've previously had England has never really felt like a team, just a bunch of individuals. So if we give a young squad time to gel and become a team who knows what could happen?
I think Lambert is a good signing. He's extremely different from Sturridge and Suarez, and really every other attacker we have - and that's a good thing. This season we were at times too static. If we meet a team who's just sitting comfortably back there's really nothing we can do. Suarez would have to dribble for instance 10 Chelsea players to score, and we all know that's not gonna happen. Everything we did in those situations this season was to attempt to win set pieces, and move up Skrtel. With Lambert we actually got a player who's got a remote chance of winning in the air, and scoring from a cross. Also, he's not bad with the ball - and a pretty good passer. He's also a Red, and will give it his all every time. I'm optimistic. #RickieIn
Can you talk about the promoted teams from the championship? Leicester/Burnley/QPR? I'd love to see your views on the teams!
Lambert is good. His technical ability is top class. Plus he will put his heart and desire in it for Liverpool
Group H: 1st Belgium, they have such a strong Squad with lukaku op front, hazard and Mirallas on the wing, Kompany, Verthonghen and Vermaelen in defence and Coutois in the goal!
2nd Russia, they have a very organised and experienced Squad....
Poet, not only is July 1st your birthday, it's also the greatest National holiday in the world, Canada Day. Therefore on July 1st, you must wear a Canadian shirt.
#RickinIn He scores goals in the premier league also the 3rd highest assister in the league last season after Suarez and Gerrard and also above Silva, Yaya and Ozil.
Wall of Fame for Frank Lampard for 13 years at Chelsea and being their highest ever goal scorer. Great loss for English Football #Respect
Poets skill at the start was just perfect
#brazil david should streak in the final and poet should try get in a press conference and start heckling at a player or manager
I'm a saints fan but I go #Rickiein because he is a Liverpool fan they brought him up when he was young. I think he will be good there.
I am from Syosset, NY USA #whereareyoufrom love watching your show it is the best. Go Everton!
How Poet is allowed to co-present a football show is beyond me...
#Rickiein
Lambert is the right choice. What kind of young promising striker will want to sit on the bench and play 3rd choice to SAS? No-one. An "old" guy, Liverpool through and through, hard worker, gives 110%. It makes perfect sense to me.
