How right you were.

Some funny comments in the earlier pages of this thread. 'Spains Ricky Lambert'. WTF!!!

WTF indeed; they've not used an apostrophe!

To be fair though he is Spain's Ricky Lambert, just like Navas is Spain's Theo Walcott.

The thing is everything to do with player development in Spain is ten times better than it is here so it's not a negative.

and if we keep calling him spain's rickie lambert the rags might go spend £35m on lambert

That would be funny!

I'm really pissed off that he was even risked last night it was an avoidable injury IMO last night was an ideal opportunity for Pell to rest the beast he's been an absolute rock for the team in the last 2 months just hope its inflammation and bruising and he'll be back for the big stuff coming up. Good job we've got the strength in depth to cope.

More so Kun for me, though in the end it was more of a case of worrying about him getting sent off or injured through retaliation. Definitely saw the red mist a bit last night.

We're so unlucky with things like this at the moment. Look at the nature of how it happened. The ball could easily have been played to Negredo's feet, but it was over-hit, forced him to pelt it down the line, then he gets cleaned out and falls awkwardly. It's so frustrating when it's so avoidable. Arrggghhh!!!

Let's just hpe that Alf gets lucky with this - along with the rest of us and Manuel of course!

And you don't think it was a good opportunity to give Aguero playing time, since he's been out for 5 weeks, and also to partner him up again with Negredo who he's not played with since he came back? Dzeko will presumably start on Saturday and Jovetic hasn't kicked a ball since November so we had to start with at leafs one of Aguero or Negredo.

I think Pellers managed it well, just a shame Negredo picked up a small injury.

He'll be alright. He looked in a bit of pain when he carried on running but there is no way he would have been able to even run if it was anything serious.

Turns up to training with a smile on his face and his arm in a precautionary sling (which i imagine he has been asked to wear until the scan just to keep it secure). He wouldn't have played on Saturday anyway so a week of recovery should see him in the squad for the Spurs game IMO.

Which is the other side of looking at it. When he went in twice, 2-footed I just thought 'fuck, he's going to get clattered for that'. He was within 5 minutes but rode it off. You're right, it was a good opportunity, it just got the old BP up when he went in like that. Been looking forward to his return since he went out. Just glad he's going to be fit for Spurs, a game i'm relishing more each day.
