Former Liverpool star Rickie Lambert thinks talking to water makes it clean

Former Liverpool and England striker Rickie Lambert has suggested that talking positively to water will make it cleaner.

After impressing whilst playing for Southampton in the Premier League, Lambert moved to Liverpool at the start of the 14/15 season in a deal worth a reported £4 million.

However, his time at Anfield was a disappointment as he only managed three goals in 36 appearances.

During a recent interview, the former striker baffled fans after speaking about an experiment that he recently saw which involved talking to water.

He said: “They’ve [scientists] done a test where you spoke positively to one glass of water, froze it, spoke negatively to another glass of water, froze it. Then [they] examined the ice. The negativity water was full of holes and blackness. The glass of water that was spoke to positively was full of crystals.

“They’ve done experiments to the word, to the word, and the water responded the same way every time if you spoke to it a certain way.”

Lambert continued: “The one word where water responds in the most beautiful way and [produced] the most beautiful crystals is showing gratitude to water. So everything I was saying about manifestation is it down to showing gratitude.”

Unsurprisingly, fans were quick to react on social media.

One said: “I don’t know what I thought Rickie Lambert would be up to these days but it wasn’t this.”

Another commented: “What’s that? You were wondering what ex Southampton, Liverpool and England striker Rickie Lambert was up to now? Well, wonder no more.”

A third fan added: “Rickie Lambert thanks his water and apologies to it before he drinks it pass it on.”

Someone else wrote: “Hardly a great couple of days for the collective intelligence of footballers but reckon Rickie Lambert talking to water wins the weekend.”

Whilst a fifth commented: “Rickie Lambert spouting nonsense that you can purify water by thanking it was not on my 2023 bingo card.”
