"Paul Lambert is a tactical genius who fully deserves a lifetime contract on 16:41 - Feb 4 with 1114 views | Cotty | The key to tactics, is to always be unpredictable. Sometimes being unpredictable means not changing things, particularly when things are not going well. Lambert is the master of this art. His stoicism and determination to outfox his foes has lead to around 30 games of exactly the same formation and tactics. Absolutely none of his opposing managers will be expecting him to stick with it for yet ANOTHER game. Honestly, the greatest tactician in ITFC history. |  | |  |

"Paul Lambert is a tactical genius who fully deserves a lifetime contract on 16:45 - Feb 4 with 1095 views | Darkblue | Paul Lambert, using a variety of innovative management techniques, has managed to unite the fanbase in a way never seen before in the history of football. His ability to get a team of players to play in a unique manner with consistent results is frankly impressive. He has successfully convinced an owner to back his plan including ousting an insurgent online message board which has sought to overthrow him. |  | |  |

Additionally, we mustn't overlook the 30 odd games before those 30 odd, where he doggedly came up with a new unintelligible formation, game after game after game, and managed to persuade the players to perform as if they knew what they were supposed to be doing, thus engendering a true sense of superiority in the opposition, who, although winning, could never understand afterwards what had happened. The beauty of this far-sighted approach is, as you have alluded to, that when 'switching over', in that fleeting moment between the two modi operandi, we will truly be the superior team for as much as one half of one game thus completely bamboozling the opposition, and the result, given good fortune or even possibly good judgement in the timing, could make all the difference between finishing 16th or 15th in the league this year. Now that is nae normal tactical genius. |  |

"Paul Lambert is a tactical genius who fully deserves a lifetime contract on 17:46 - Feb 4 with 979 views | Kropotkin123 | Like all geniuses, Lambert gets bored easily. What you mere mortals don’t realize is this is a meta genius battle against Einstein himself. “The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” Last year, to make the season challenging for himself, he was throwing games after our excellent start. The league ended early, when Lambert was in position to win every remaining game and secure promotion. This year, we’re doing the same again and for added banter Lambert is ensuring every supporter complains before shoving it back in our faces as champions. ^100 words exactly |  |

"Paul Lambert is a tactical genius who fully deserves a lifetime contract on 18:21 - Feb 4 with 909 views | BlueandTruesince82 | Lambert is merely lulling the rest of the league into a false sense of security, then just when they think they all have us figured out BAM.... mix up time..a combination of never before seen patterns and plays will be unveiled... 10-0-0, 9-0-1. Other teams will be so bamboozled by this that Town so then unleash the hounds of footballing war scorching all in front of us. Unknown to the rest of L1 said secrect drills are all the team have been working on foe 18 months hence the struggles to execute anything resembling a planned set up on the pitch and paranoia of THIS plan being leaked is what in fact lead to Phil's ban |  |
