Lambert 'still pinching himself' after vital Saints win

Rickie Lambert celebrates his goal against Liverpool Rickie Lambert celebrates his goal against Liverpool

Rickie Lambert admitted he had to pinch himself after scoring a dream goal against his boyhood club, Liverpool.

The striker’s deflected free-kick in Saturday’s 3-1 win was yet another moment for the 31-year-old to savour in his career.

Lambert remains the top English goalscorer in the Premier League, with 13 to his name now in his first season in the top flight.

He will perhaps even have impressed national team manager Roy Hodgson, who was in the St Mary’s directors’ box at the weekend.

The lifelong Liverpool fan revealed how much it meant to score against the Reds.

“I think everyone knows the relationship I have with Liverpool,” he said.

“It was a massive game, my family were there, but obviously I’m professional.

“My main focus was to have the team try and get three points and I’m just over the moon that my goal has helped us get three points.

“Obviously, there’s been some lows, but the highs have been unbelievable and I’m confident that there’s plenty more to come in my career and for Southampton.

“It’s going really well, but we’re still not safe. There’s still points to be taken, but the lads are absolutely buzzing after that.”

A regular theme for Saints since Mauricio Pochettino replaced Nigel Adkins as manager has been playing well without taking many points.

They managed to put that right against Liverpool, though, turning in a performance that had echoes of their 3-1 win over champions Manchester City at St Mary’s last month.

The result is a huge boost in the club’s fight for Premier League survival.

“It was massively important that we got the three points,” said Lambert.

“I think we’ve been unlucky the last few weeks, I think we deserved a few more points than what we’ve got.

“You can say all day that you’re unlucky and all that, but it’s points that matter.”

Lambert said Pochettino was pleased with the display.

“As long as we perform like that for him he’s fine no matter what the result,” he said.

“It’s when we’re not following what he’s trying to say, that’s when he gets frustrated.

“But I think we’ve done well the last few games and we’ve been a little bit unlucky, but we’ve managed to get the three points for him.”

Lambert also hailed the contribution of Jay Rodriguez, who played in a central role and proved a constant menace, setting up the first goal and scoring the third.

“I think Jay’s a terrific player and I think that is his best position, striker, in the middle,” said Lambert.

“I think when we have played in that position we have played really well.

“It was obviously good to see him get that terrific goal at the end, I was absolutely over the moon for him.

“The performances have been there lately, and he’s been unlucky not to get a goal, so I was so happy that he’s managed to get on the scoresheet. It was a great goal.”

Jay rod is an out n out striker, has pace to make opposing defence drop deep which in turn gives lambert, Ramirez and lallana even more space and time.
Well done to lambert, I doubted whether he was premier league class and he has excelled. He may not be the quickest but nor was sherringham. He is a puppeteer and gently pulls the strings and makes us work. Class

interesting to note when redknapp took over all the cash he has spent .he was 7 points behind us at the time .at this time he is now 8 points behind us .so what a waste of money heading for the championship even more debt ridden .at 1 million mr lambert 100 plus goals just has many assists.take a bow rickie lambert you are the bargain of the century immense player .impressed hodgson no doubt

I would quite like Villa to go down then we could pick up Benteke and Wiemann fairly cheaply, a cheeky bid for Jack Wiltshere and Lescott and we would be on our way.

Well Wigan must have a great chance of staying up if they keep getting decisions like they did today. Ref missed a career threatening tackle and lino missed a clear handball, right in his eyeline that led to Wigan winning . I'm no Newcastle fan but they were robbed today and football is the loser.

Just seen all the Norwich players surround the referee... Twice! (For the Bunn sending off and the penalty decision)
Will they get fined like us?
Shame Wigan got the winner. It now looks like Reading and Twicher are doomed with one more from 6 teams... West Ham???
Come on Saints, 8 more points will do it!!!

Don't think you are far off the mark there. Sunderland still have ManU, Chelski, Everton, Spurs and us I can see them getting less than 10 points. That would leave them under 40. I think Reading, QPR, Wigan and maybe Villa will also finish under 40 with Wet Spam on 40 or 41. We need to keep at it though. I have us down for 42-43.

Aint it great to see Rickie achieve all of his dreams.
Aint it great for us Saints supporters to be part of this.
What great forsight of Pardew, to have pesuaded Cortese to pay £1million, in Div 1.
This was the best £1 million ever spent by our Saints management.
Rickie you have proved so many people wrong about your commitment and ability.
My view on you from day one, has never changed.
You are indead a Southampton legend already and I hope you play on for a lot longer, for our fantastic football club.

Rickie, we just love you, very, very much.
And we take such pleasure and pride in your wonderful success!
Thank you so much for what only you could do, and for doing it for the Saints (and thanks again to Alan Pardew for signing you!).
Long may it continue.
A man more deserving of success and (much overused!) living legendary status amongst Saints fans, does not draw breath.
I hope you read this and know how much pleasure you give us all.
Now score a hat-trick against Chelsea ;-)

Think Jay has come on a bundle since MP came as well.
Yep Rickie must be in wonderland.
ref relegation Stoke and Norwich must be worried as well they have the worst form over 10 games in the division 5 and 6 points respectively. Saints Villa and Wigan could all over take them unless they put together a couple of wins.Think the anti has risen 40 points to be sure of staying up.
Agree that Sunderland could be in big trouble we need to get something there. Their game at Villa could be a relegation decider.
West ham's game in hand will probably see them scrape through. Though they have a 4 of the top teams to play.
Newcastle are back in the scrap as well now

I've just spent a lovely day with my in-laws. My brother-in-law is a really obsessive Liverpool fan (he's actually from Liverpool so it's cool) who has watched the game in full, twice. The first thing he said to me was "Bloody 'ell - I didn't know you were THAT good."

So that's nice.

The challenge now, obviously, is to do this regularly against mid-table teams. If we do I think we're in with a decent shout of finishing in the top half. It's incredibly tight down there but Nicola has unearthed a gem of a manager who will lift us above the dross of this league.

mate i wont be able to relax until our place is secure we need 3 more wins still and every team is good so thats still going to be difficult and of course we have to worry because we need to increase that gap but it seems every time we get a result that might increae that gap significantly wigan/villa get a win too:/

I've followed my Club for nearly 40yrs.

I have witnessed us lift one major cup, runners up in two others, runners up in the top tier, win a minor trophy and rise to (what is now) the best and toughest league in world football.

I have never seen them have to compete in the lowest tier of English League football....

...which is a bonus :O)

Mate, the only people that need to worry are the teams ahead of us. We have no need to look over our shoulders. Relax.
mate i wont be able to relax until our place is secure we need 3 more wins still and every team is good so thats still going to be difficult and of course we have to worry because we need to increase that gap but it seems every time we get a result that might increae that gap significantly wigan/villa get a win too:/
Have you seen how we play? (That was rhetorical - of course you have). It can't be long before we get a cricket score against someone. We're safe. It's a done deal.

And next season? Who knows? I'm thinking Europe.

you can blame but there is a ref and 2 linesman there the problem .he will get done on video evidence you have to blame the officials supposed to be the best league in the world .but not the referees
Yes but that makes no difference to the outcome of the game does it they still have an extra 2 points than they should have possibly 3 if he was sent off!
i know but its not that wigan cheated ,but they cant make a easy decision poor and not fair could keep them up more there luck than cheating
Mate the guy deliberately touched the ball with his hand to set up a goal? thats cheating!

There is no problem with being in debt. The problem is with servicing that debt. Brighton can easily be £10M in debt because they have something you stupid Skunts dont seem to understand. They are called assets and they run their club properly taking these things into account. The Skunts dont have any assets. No players, no ground, no academy, no training facilities, no brains and worst of all no morals.

We already know where the money comes from. We would be spending the SKY money just like every other Prem team. And if we chose to borrow some we have £250M worth of assets as security gainst it.

Blue.....of course we would. But it won't happen.

The spending is offset by the fact that we have a superb academy churning out the England players of the future.

Do you realise...the money raised by Pompey on player sales during your "Glory year" could have paid for an Academy, training ground and a stadium. In short...a future.

Instead, a good deal of that money sits in the offshore bank account owned by your hero...Arry.

no because cortesse runs the club withih a budget not like your directors did .but he does have a 32.000 stadium and 30.000 fans so over a 19 game season for home games wwe make twice the money that pompey did yet we pay half the wages what you paid.we know without that the premiership is worth 130. million next season.the reason we let coultino go and buttner is they both wanted 70.000 and were not qpr .we will not break the wage structure unless as planned we increase the stadium to generate the money .thats why cortesse wants it increased he has a vision but he is realistic.bringing the club from league one to the premier league in a 5 year plan in just 3 years .top man

Yes of course they do. They have worldwide franchises, 70000 gates and very high value players. Their shirt sales worldwide are probably higher than your gate money. They are valued well in excess of £1 billion. So it's a bit like owning a £1M pound property. You can borrow more against it than if , for example, you own a caravan.

We already know where the money comes from. We would be spending the SKY money just like every other Prem team. And if we chose to borrow some we have £250M worth of assets as security gainst it. The problem comes when little clubs with small gates spend more than their income because they think they are big.
The top four spend more than sky money ?
Man utd 400 million in debt
utd annonced profits on the news they get more from the champions league skys nothing to them .to not be in that would be financial disaster for city and utd ,and they get 75.000 city get 40.000 you tried it you only got 17.000 no champions league .paying 70.000 a week is suicide same qpr .as siomon jordan said ex palace owner .he knows he owned a club for years .he said on skys transfer window show

anyone else think poopey fans behave like Gollum when it comes to the fa cup? we loves the precious, my precious. Gollum wants the precious back! its ours, our precious.

sad fact is that the fa cup, which they hold so dear, is the reason they are in the position they are.

I would rather have a sound club in the top flight working to a budget than a bit of silver that cost you your club!

Horse...you have to remember that they have previous silverware.

...none of us were alive when they got it mind...but (bless em) it gives them some solice during their torrid times.

on a serious note, SRL has done more than enough over the season to have been given an England cap. I don't know what else he needs to do. it cant be his age keeping him out, rio has been called back to the squad and he` year older than SRL.

another point, has spiderman lived in the country long enough to have qualified for England, he`s been here nearly 5 years already. I know he`s played for france at u21 level but does that count you out at full international level? would be good if he could play for England.

Blue.....of course we would. But it won't happen.

The spending is offset by the fact that we have a superb academy churning out the England players of the future.

Do you realise...the money raised by Pompey on player sales during your "Glory year" could have paid for an Academy, training ground and a stadium. In short...a future.

Instead, a good deal of that money sits in the offshore bank account owned by your hero...Arry.
Well Arry's dog anyway.
Well with the millions recieved with players we sold and the sky money all went some where ?

hong kong
saudi arabia
poole
who knows
You didn't care where the money came from or where it went though did you?
You only cared about being in the PL and winning the FACup. And it's all you go on about now.
Others including Saints fans were telling you the numbers didn't stack up but you didn't listen. When things weren't right at our club we took action, you chose a trophy!
When you get old you can look back and remember your trophy and when your team was in the football league. We will still be there!

They're all delusional 101. As demonstated above they have no grasp of basic economics. They bang on about the FACup and it doesn't seem to bother them that they have almost paid the ultimate price to get their name on it. They remind me of suicide bombers.They thought they were going to the promised land but actually they are dead!
The other thing that they don't understand is that if you asked ANY club chairman, players or fans to choose between silverware and the Premier League there would only be ONE answer.

SFC, mate you need some positivity classes or something, stop being so worried all the time.
The ref didn't see those 2 calls because I have it on good authority that Halsey is a PFC supporter and even has a tattoo on his wrist (under his watch) (No not joking)
As all skates are blind to the truth, it's no wonder he didn't see the tackle or the handball!
He must be a deaf C*nt too because how he waved play on and didn't hear that player shout in pain I don't know!!!

Don't think you are far off the mark there. Sunderland still have ManU, Chelski, Everton, Spurs and us I can see them getting less than 10 points. That would leave them under 40. I think Reading, QPR, Wigan and maybe Villa will also finish under 40 with Wet Spam on 40 or 41. We need to keep at it though. I have us down for 42-43.
lets not count our chickens one game at a time, total focus fro the team and they can get the points to get clear of trouble.
Saints havethe nucleus of a really top side in the making if they can keep their concentration to the end of the season and pick up the reinforcements they need during the summer. Hopefully Cortese is already aware of which players to go for and maybe Isco is on that list..

Just reading through some of the above.

Re Rickie: Someone said above that the £1m we spent on him was the best money ever spent by a Saints' management team. On that score, I've always herralded Alan Ball (£65,000 was it?) but I genuinely think Rickie has now proved to be the all-time best ever Saints buy.

yes you are you say the same crap ,.you just come on here because were premier league and your not and your going nowhere .just on a downward spiral all you go on about is ancient past you cant compete any more .only your directors cheating staus kept you in the premier league .this is are 14th season and we have run by are own means .you came 8th average wage 60.000 a week .we have also finished 8th average wage 10.000 a week .you won the fa cup 64 million in debt .we were runners up made 13 million profit /at least we have success in a honest way .pay back owners we we lent off them and hepl charities not take there money .your club is nothing but shame and 91 league clubs know it not just us .you lot are just so deluded you have no substance to us .you lot can go how you like .it makes a blind bit of difference
Saintkenny
Most teams in the premiership are in debt MAN utd 400+ million so 64 million is small fry then are SAINTS in DEBT ?
We have had the bad luck of previous suspect owners and you have had bad luck of not much success in 127 years and a uncertain financial future dependant on that word you hate success .
As a TRUST and fan owned club we will have a more secure future .
Bluewhitemildred you couldn't have a less secure future than you have recently experienced.
whatever happens accept it and build from that base. Glad to see connolly doing well for you.

Well done to lambert, I doubted whether he was premier league class and he has excelled. He may not be the quickest but nor was sherringham. He is a puppeteer and gently pulls the strings and makes us work. Class
Yes I even said that to Sheringham himself in Marbella..that was in the summer!!

It depends on whether Roy is looking to the future. I think Rio is only back in due to injuries. International football is a big step up Ricky hasn't been playing regular European games so it isn't a full gone conclusion that he should be in there.

I really like Ricky and to be honest would prefer him scoring the goals for Saints and not tiring himself out on the International scene. He can drive us to get into Europe but I think it is late in his career to be thinking about England.

I couldn't make Sat cos of work, when I had the text update for the second Saints goal and saw "Lambert" I genuinely had a lump in my throat (soft sod I am)

It is everything he deserves for all he ahs done in his career, I am sure for Ricky there is ony one thing that could beat that, and it would be scoring at the Kop end

Do it next year son!!
