Enrique was pointing to the touchline, in what appeared to be him saying 'You're playing the wing get wide.' As it was too crowded in the middle and it just ended going back outwide.

Lovenkrands has had a tendency to go missing in his time here, having got his contract he needs to show a bit of hunger if he wants to stay in the first team as a regular. It's well documented he doesn't like playing on the left wing but he's not guaranteed a start as a striker so he should get his head down and put a shift in for the team.

I'll say it again, Lovenkrands offers absolutely nothing out wide.

 

We've not got much choice at the minute, with Jonas out and Raylor playing RB or RW.

 

We all know hes really a striker anyway, so we'll have to make do for now.

We have got choice. Raylor, Geremi, Guthrie and Barton are all better on the wing than Lovenkrands.

 

That's not saying much, but Lovenkrands is less effective than all of them out wide.

i've personally had enough of saying it, but people still want him there. It's absolutely bloody ridiculous man.

 

The problem for me is that since he first pulled on a Newcastle shirt he's made it clear he doesn't like playing on the wing, and when he's put out there he doesn't look like he's putting 100% in.

The problem for me is that since he first pulled on a Rangers shirt all those years ago he's made it clear he doesn't like playing on the wing, and when he's put out there he doesn't look like he's putting 100% in.

You rarely see him use his pace to run with the ball, he seems to prefer to play it first time into the box. Bit disappointing for a lad with his pace.

Needs to be upfront

 

That too, he's wasted out on the wing. Harewood and Carroll are both too similar and both have fairly poor scoring records.

Doesn't look as if he gives a toss.

 

This.

 

Looks a completely different player to last season, I put it down to fitness at first but he has to be fit by now. It just looks like we were 'Plan B' if a PL club didn't come in for him.

I wouldn't say Lovenkrands has anything other than a poor scoring record either to be honest.

 

I know it's the SPL, but if you take into account time spent playing on the wing there then finally moving up front, his record there isn't too bad. The rest including his spell here is poor.

There's a few times on a Rangers compilation he beats the offside trap and races away, That's how we should be playing him, on the wing he's neither use nor ornament.

It's blatantly obvious and has been for months for those of us with sense that he should be on the shoulder of the last man and nowhere else. Put him in a position where he has to use graft, skill or strength andf he's basically a sunday league player.

Let him play in his position then judge him

 

he deserves a crack up front before we write him off I agree. When we signed him that's where I expected him to play, and it's not like the forwards we've got are scoring shedloads.

Lovenkrands reveals problems

Newcastle forward getting over off-field issues

Newcastle forward Peter Lovenkrands has revealed that off the field issues have prevented him from playing as much as he would like.

 

The Dane agreed a three-year deal at St James' Park on transfer deadline day.

 

Lovenkrands had finished last season with Newcastle, but then had rebuffed their initial offer of a contract before signing in August.

 

But he has been limited to just three league starts and he admits personal problems have got to him.

 

"You of course want to play more games, but I have had a few personal family problems lately. And I've missed a few games because of these," Lovenkrands told Onside.

 

"But now things should be back on track, so I can focus on football again.

 

"I hope that this will lead to more games that I start, but I will take it nice and easy and see what happens."

 

Lovenkrands is happy to see things going so well on the pitch.

 

"It looks good now," he said,

 

"But there are many games in The Championship, and a lot can happen if you get in to a bad run."

 

He did look better last season when he was playing with us in the prem.  If he gets himself fully commited he can be a real asset to us.
