Shak Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 at people saying he was good yesterday. Doubt he touched the ball ten times. Clinical finish for the goal though, to be fair to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Part of a group including Ryan Taylor, Guthrie, Routledge, Shola and Best who really shouldn't be playing at this level. Needs must though, it's going to be a long old winter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Mag Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Guys like me pay Hughton's wages. You're just a brainless twerp with nowt better to do. Disgracfull you want to come out on this and defend yourself. You want to argue with everything I am sure you argue with your shadow on your spare times... :lol: :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly played more minutes in the PL than Best has over our last 12 months of top flight football. Maybe looked comfortable at this level for two games?

ChrisMcQuillan Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Actually played like he cared yesterday. Was still poor, but it actually shows how little passion everyone else showed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Tbf it was his first decent run out in a while, and there was fuck all service. Yes he should of atleast had a shot on target when he was through, but maybe if he'd of played more games before hand then he might of. But i don't see how he can be a scapegoat when our team might aswell of been invisible for 80 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is, people are saying "Don't write off Best because he hasn't played for us at this level" and then in the same breath "Lovenkrands is shit and cannot play" when he's made one start a handful of sub appearances in this current side.

Neil Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I thought yesterday he actually showed a bit of movement - which of course is saying more about how dreadful Ameobi is admittedly - got a goal and didn't look that bad. Does this mean he's suddenly cut out for this level? Of course not, but to criticise him so heavily on yesterday's performance is bamboozling.

JH Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 He managed to do what the rest of them couldn't yesterday, and that was stick the ball in the back of the net. Worth a place over Shola for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 He was anonymous from them. Popping up every now and then to miss a good chance. Because he lacks sharpness. He was prolific for us at the turn of the year, yes I know it was the Championship, but he was taking chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 You can't keep giving a player the odd start and then a handful of 20/30 minute appearances and expect to set the world alight. I think any half decent player would struggle to make a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think we can afford that type of player at this level, you're insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an experienced player who has scored goals for us. He deserves a chance in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Based on what? He's had plenty of chances. He's never been up to this standard at any point during his career. He's nearly 31 now, enough's enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Nobody can provide any reason for him to deserve more starts, other than he's only had a few. 1 - Last season he had a goal-scoring rate of almost a goal every two games. 2 - He has more experience than Carroll, Ranger and Best put together. 3 - He's scored more career league goals than any other player in our squad.
