skippy2015 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Did you see many of his games for Dortmund?If lambert was world class he wouldn’t have ended up at Celtic for 2 million. Also only 40 caps for scotland not that great really. He was a very good player but to say world class is a step to far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only capped in his mid 20s and became a completely different player when he went abroad after that. Would imagine his cap number would have increased significantly if he had gone earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Yes, and nobody would really argue that the likes of Joel Matip, Georginio Wijnaldum or even Jordan Henderson from the current Liverpool team are world class - they are all just very good players who were in the right place at the right time. However, Robertson is one of the most important players in this Liverpool team and is clearly one of the best in his position in the world.Under the radar? Salah, Firminho, Sane, Van Dijk, Alisson seem to get the headlines.It is great that we have him available for Scotland but I feel we might be a bit biased. Hopefully a few midfield or forward players end up at clubs of Liverpool’s stature. Then we’ll be on the right tracks for qualifying again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I guess with Scotland it's hard to pick players that have played at a consistently high standard to be hailed as World Class. Lambert and Robertson have to be up there for their European successes. From a national point of view Richard Gough, Mo Johnston and even Andy Goram had spells where they were up there as being top players in their positions but not quite World Class. Last one for me would be Kenny Dalglish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me top two or three players in that position at any given time. For that reason I wouldn’t say lambert was world class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert, good player who found a niche position in a talented team. And really made the most of it. Fair play to him. But world class?
