Probably one of the worst decisions made this season by Lambert and that is saying something. In the 90th minute, he was on the wing when he should have been in the box. Completely outplayed by Thompson too, if you’re not normally a winger, a full back will know everything you will try to do. |  |

During the early season they were apparently stupid for not playing him out there. The reasons we didn't were fairly obvious and yesterday showed it. Good ball in for Norwood but it didn't happen enough considering how much of the ball he had. |  |

We're hopeless with 2 up front though aren't we?  | | | |

Playing him as a wide forward would be fine but that's not how we set up. The players that should be playing as wide forwards are effectively playing as wingers as though we're playing a 4-4-2. It's one of the reasons we create little and leave our central striker isolated. |  |

I think people wanted to see him as a wide forward in a three, not a wide midfielder with defensive duties that included having to sprint back to try to prevent crosses cos Chambers has gone walkabout. If it were genuinely 433 and not 451, Kayden would look much better imho [Post edited 10 Jan 2021 11:00]

It infuriates me that the ball is always played to his feet and he hasn’t got the guile to beat a man at walking pace so the ball gets recycled and everything gets slowed down again or as frequently happened yesterday, he passes it to an opponent. He’s probably our quickest player but we’re incapable of playing the ball ahead of him to run on to and do some damage. If all three front players play with their back to goal, it’s no wonder we go nowhere in attack. |  |

Exactly. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt about Jackson since he’s here is that he is actually pretty good when he plays in the channels and looks to get into advanced positions down the sides of the defence.
Playing him wide in what is effectively a 451 isn’t helping anyone.
I’d be tempted to see Norwood and Jackson as more of a front 2 and let them take up their natural positions from there. |  |

And because they’re not really used to playing like that, the way we play means the fullbacks have a lot to do but they’re both mid 30s so aren’t really up to doing what’s needed. Contrast that with Swindon’s left back on loan from Brentford - great motor on him and had the better of Jackson and Chambers pretty much all match.
KVY is our version of that but whilst he’s out it’s madness to continually play in a way that exposes our weaknesses. Most weeks we concede a goal (at least) from the opposition making space out wide and pulling the ball back into the centre. Every team has picked up on it apart from us. |  |

Oh yeah, you thought he was capable wide didn’t you. I told you, he wouldn’t know the defence side of the game as a wide man.
Did well tracking his man on that first goal didn’t he  |  |

It's almost like they formed a useful partnership and looked like a combination which might work
FFS Lambert! |  |

Steady, you will earn yourself a 5 year contract at this rate with that kind of visionary. |  |

Exactly, playing as a wide forward has hardly stopped players like Salah, Mane, Rashford, or Sterling from scoring or being a goal threat, it's just understanding how to play the role.
Maybe he was asked to hug the touchline and leave the central striker alone, but that would be daft, I guess he just needs coaching on when to stay wide and when to move inside.... |  |

But the fact that we constantly look to play that high looping ball out wide is because that's what they've been coached to do; and Jackson stays out there so very wide because that's the flip side of the plan. Some here don't seem to understand the difference beween playing wide in a three and being a winger, but then neither, it seems, do the management. | |

Sadly he won't get the coaching he needs. He has the attributes to be very effective as a genuine wide forward but Lambert hasn't set us up to really play with wide forwards and he's shown little evidence that he can coach players to be more effective in their roles. The bizarre thing is that Lambert spent months saying Jackson isn't a winger, then he suddenly picks him there because Jackson said he can play the role. Where do you even begin with that? | |
