Rickie LambertGUEST

Rickie LambertGUEST
to fill even though I wasn't and Brendan was trying to tell people Ricky's not the replacement for Louie I was trying to I was supposed to add to it the fans were going to always see that because they had Louie who almost won the the the league and then he left and I came in with Mario and And then obviously the team, the tactical side took a knock because everything went through Louis.

Rickie LambertGUEST
So it was like, I was getting a twofold effect on me where tactically and physically, like football wise, I was just not good enough.
