Ronaldo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 His runs usually amount to nothing. That's where you're wrong. Loven takes many solid runs without being used. Because of Nolan we don't have a cm that's able to serve him the balls we need (through balls behind the defense, either on ground or in air). Barton is able to do this, but since he plays as RM he's often crossing the ball to the other side. It's much harder to hit a through ball from his position. Loven is not that gong ho as Ranger: He doesn't run that much, but his runs are good and accurate. If he's calledd off for offside, it's often very marginal or a wrong decision. We need an attacker today that constantly is trying to break through Bolton's defense. That's what physical teams hate: passing and through balls on the ground in the longitudinal direction. We will not win this game by hitting those long balls. That's also why we played so well against Bham and Burn: we kept the ball on the ground. Mate, you're talking about Peter Lovenkrands here. We were the only team in England prepared to offer him a contract 18 months back, and he's deteriorated since. If you look at our worst attacking performances of the season, he's the common demoninator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EastEndGeordie Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think we'll see: Harper Simmo Willi Colo Jose Barton Nolan God Jonas Best Ranger I can't see Pards breaking up our defence or midfield due to a lack of striking options. Also, Raylor is unlikely to be match fit. Shola is unavailable, Loven may be injured, Kuqi probably lacks sharpness. Now is the time for Ranger to make the step up to the 1st XI. If he gives us a goal or two he may stake a claim for a permanent place in the starting team. If Loven is fit he'll be starting but if not then you've got it spot on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at our worst attacking performances of the season, he's the common demoninator. Loven is a player that's dependent on playing in the correct system and he needs a specific types of balls to function. Like Carroll needs his crosses to shine, Loven needs his backroom passes. Since you obviously have no clue, he will score today, just to prove my point, sucker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
