Yes, it is true that the ball didn't fall for them - but that happens to teams all the time. I'm not sure he can claim those ought to have been taken to put them two or three up. I remember many managers of ours over the years claiming that if we'd 'taken all our chances' we'd have won 5-3 instead of being thumped 3-0! And Taylor had a decent chance to make it 2-0 in the second half - maybe Lambert ought to be thankfulThere were 2/3 moments in the first half where the ball just didn't quite fall right for them, those frustrating times of which one being a square pass in the box hit the heel (i think) of one of theirs and instead of a free shot on goal for the intended recipient we were able to clear..Another was similar to us v sunderland when in a crowded box the ball bobbled everywhere..there was also a virtual free header back post (Kean?) and 1 or 2 other decent balls in that flashed across the box.
2nd half one of theirs didn't anticipate our defender missing it (our defender bizarely ducked) and it hit their strikers shin before falling to Easty.
So they had their moments but as Mick Mills said they were just not clinical enough
