jdckelly Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 lets look at the positives, was he getting into goalscoring positions? imo yes which is good, at least if hes getting into those positions regularily then one of these days he'll stick them away and besides it was a good header which was excellently saved by their keeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 BTW, watching games live doesn't give anyone magical insight, I have seen games spanning three decades (LIVE AT THE GROUND liam ) and I have sat (and stood) next to some of the most clueless twats imagineable. So once again...what was your fucking point? It's a couple of posts above yours I think I addressed these points a few pages back before you decided it was more important who was watching, when and how.

Cajun Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 We could save some bandwidth, delete 20 or so pages off the Andy Carroll thread and copy and paste this title on thar one. It's practically word for word what we were saying about AC when partnered with shola (shit, doesn't even look like scoring, sell him to any mug who will take him etc....). Not saying he will become good but the criticisms are exactly the same as those levelled at Carroll. When two similar players are paired together it's likely one will be getting into the cgoalscoring positions while the other look like doing fuck all. His performances have been poor so far and people have said as much which is fair enough, I just think it's too early to write him off altogether until he is allowed to play his natural game alongside someone who will compliment him rather than compete against him for positions. I am just glad he and Carroll aren't running into each other trying to win the same balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 He's been gash so far like, although at least yesterday he was starting to get on the end of things. He looks very nervous/uncomfortable at times too, which to me suggests he's struggling to adapt to playing for us as previously I got told off my mate from Coventry that he has a bit of arrogance about him. One thing I won't fault him for though is his work-rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It is fair to say as Tooj says,he has an arrogance about him,or he did here at Coventry.Perhaps playing for a club with greater expectations has ebbed that.The sooner he scores,the better.

I really hoped he would score the winner yesterday. Would have done his confidence a world of good. Still playing like a new signing but did get more involved yesterday. Unlucky with the header!! Would have been a cracking winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning_Linguist Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I still have my concerns about Leon Best. I know he has scored a few goals at international level but at them moment I would rather see Carroll and Lovenkrands/Ranger starting up front together. At this time, and in my own opinion, LB is the type of player you bring on when NUFC are winning 2 -1 at home against Forest, and you just leave him as a lone striker just holding the ball up!

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Move him to the wing. His crossing isn't too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMonty Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 He looks like he's scared of making a mistake and then takes too long and makes one anyway, he doesn't seem to be trusting his technique or ability at all. As many others have said the sooner he gets a goal the better as hopefully his confidence well get better but he's been disapointing so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm going to stand by Best at the moment. I think there's betetr to come from him just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think there's definitely better to come from him – there were a couple of flashes against Bristol City, and he did manage nine goals for Cov this season – but he's probably still not very good.

STM Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think he should start against Doncaster, he needs that goal. I was going to say, "didn't you have pancrate in your line up in the other thread". However, i notice you have changed your mind I agree with your assessment.

Ronaldo Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Looking at the amount of time Ranger has either not been involved or got barely 5 minutes on the pitch, there must be problems with his attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Looking at the amount of time Ranger has either not been involved or got barely 5 minutes on the pitch, there must be problems with his attitude. If this is the case we should revert to playing Nolan off Carroll. Wasn't pretty but was effective, we can't risk "giving Best a chance" until we have secured promotion.
