He hits the wall most of the time. His long shots aren't as good any more either. Kostas and capriccioso 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francozola 2,040 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 He has hardly attempted any long range shots these days.Agreed but I think he realizes he isn't capable of hitting them the way he used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Agreed but I think he realizes he isn't capable of hitting them the way he used to?Think he is still capable of hitting them, just probably no longer mobile and agile enough to get into those situations or create those opportunities for himself. Another factor could possibly be we tend to play narrow these days till the point the middle area is so congested at times, thus preventing any chance of shooting from distance.

Lamps was right at the edge of the box front and centre and should have struck it first time when drogba played it to him. Instead, he passed it to Kalou.

NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Roy Hodgson just said that he favours 2 Strikers in his line-up for the Euros, Do you guys think Lampard will be a sure Starter when theres only 2 Midfield places and Gerrard and Parker in the Squad? In my opinion he must start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just trying to continue the passing move back then and Kalou was in space to receive it anyway. Had Kalou squared it back to Lampard, he would have probably scored.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It would probably be better if he sits out of the EUROs altogether. RamiCFC9 and robdog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
