He seems to be the type of striker who 99% of the time is incapble of doing anything in the final third with the ball at his feet, even against the most shoddy of defenders.
The entire team needs to move up the pitch and condense the play. Plymouth Argyle scored 3 past that lot through the week, we should have gone at them from the start.
I have to say though, Colo, Enrique, Guthrie and Jonas should all be ahead of Lovenkrands.
He's rightfully won a lot of fans in the last couple months by playing so well in the aftermath of his dad's death.
You can't make the same runs on the wing that you make through the middle, he isn't physically strong on the ball and tend not to beat players. Never in a million years a winger, although I confess that when he joined 14 months ago I thought it would be his position.
How well do you think Van Nistelrooj would do if he was played on the wing? He was terrible there, doesn't mean he couldn't be bothered. Lovenkrands runs his bollocks off every game.
The mouthful was all in the bust up which at the time it came out people were saying it happened before the press. I have no idea where your from but you more often than not know when a press story is totally made up and when there is something in it. There was something in that story and again it wasn't for the first time. A few months earlier he did it to Alan Shearer if you remember after he got himself sent off and then let his mouth go.
What did he say to Shearer, that his tactics were s****?
Somebody should have told him sooner.
Shouldn't be to much of a problem if Guthrie can keep his form up, and Jonas and Routledge start..
Don't be daft, man. We're as good as down to ten men if that happens.
