JH Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I do give him some credit for his goal. As Barton's ball came across the box, the ball bobbled up just before he hit it - was fully expecting it to end up in the Gallowgate Instead of celebrating the goal, I just screamed "FUCK ME, HES' HIT THE TARGET!!!"

Yorkie Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ranger wouldn't have used Wolves' high line and thus wouldn't have scored the third goal yesterday, had he been playing instead of Lovenkrands. I doubt he'd have finished it either. He's still a generally intelligent player, and that's why i've always advocated having him in the side above Nile (aside from before yesterday's game, funnily enough).

ToonTastic Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Still w***. Ranger would do his job better. He probably would but with no premier league goals to his name and limited experience Pardew isn't going to put him in ahead of Lovenkrands. It's catch 22 with the likes of Ranger and Vukic. Personally I think they'll bring far more to the team than some current first teamers but until they are proven they won't be picked ahead of them. How can you say that without them playing enough and without seeing them in training? I've heard more than pardew say they aren't ready yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a generally intelligent player, and that's why i've always advocated having him in the side above Nile (aside from before yesterday's game, funnily enough). I think the starting Lovenkrands, bringing Ranger on with an hour gone is probably the best we can do atm. Lovenkrands had a decent game yesterday. Had a minor involvement in the first goal (his run taking one of the defenders away), an assist for the second and a clever finish for the third. Was also unlucky not to get a penalty from what was a clumsy challenge from his marker. He made a few intelligent runs in the second half as well as he sat on the last defender and looked to expose Wolves' high defensive line. He started to fade around 60/65 mins though and that's probably when Ranger should come into the game, as he offers something different - an outlet to hold up the ball, bring it down and take defenders on.

Matt Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 He started to fade around 60/65 mins though and that's probably when Ranger should come into the game, as he offers something different - an outlet to hold up the ball, bring it down and take defenders on. He's knackered by an hour every game, he could barely move by the time he was subbed. To be fair to him yesterday had a decent game against a weak defence and gave them something to worry about. Ranger still looks way too raw, he could turn into a decent player but it's hard to tell as he's so erratic. A season (or even two) out on loan are definitely in order- let's hope we strengthen sufficiently that we can let him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Whether you like it or not: The lad has started only 14 games and scored 5 goals. That's only one goal behind Best. But remember that Best scored three of them in one single game. Loven on the other hand has spread his goals on five different games, making him a more frequent goal scorer than Best..

Ronaldo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 One of Loven's came against Accrington Stanley. Best has 6 PL goals compared to Loven's 4 - in far fewer appearances. In other words, the above statement is complete rubbish. Why are you such a rubbish poster? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 can´t really decide who is best/worst between Løvenkrands and Best? in a 4-4-2 i would always prefer to start Løvenkrands with either Best or Ameobi and not Best and Ameobi since i find then too similar. That is if these 3 are the best we have available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 By the way, Lovenkrands has lost loads of his pace over the last 6-12 months. Really obvious when you watch him flounder about now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Don't rate Best much higher than Lovelyhands tbh. If it's a choice between the two, Best shades it. If it remains a choice between the two in a years time however, things aren't good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
