ian1964 10,707 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Andy Little has been rewarded for his run of goals with a call-up to the Northern Ireland squad. The Rangers striker, who scored in five successive games ahead of today's 2-0 Scottish League One defeat of Ayr, comes in following the withdrawal of Josh Magennis. Magennis has pulled out of the last two fixtures of their unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign because of a knee injury. The Aberdeen striker came on as a substitute for the closing 18 minutes of yesterday's Scottish Premiership defeat at Ross County, but will not link up with Michael O'Neill's squad for the forthcoming matches against Azerbaijan and Israel. http://www.football365.com/rangers/8961411/- 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,680 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 IMHO, for all his important goals (alongside Jelavic and Naismith, of course), Lafferty was just about better than average and we paid way too much for his age and (in-)experience. The way he and some others jumped ship at the first opportunity tells its own story too ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I thought Lafferty was a bit like Lovenkrands - showed flashes of great potential but never quite performed on anywhere near a consistent level and usually a passenger. Both came across as too big for their boots and neither had any adaptability in their game. They both didn't seem to be able to play striker OR winger when a decent forward should be able to do both - like Laudrup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 780 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I thought Lafferty was a bit like Lovenkrands - showed flashes of great potential but never quite performed on anywhere near a consistent level and usually a passenger.

They both didn't seem to be able to play striker OR winger when a decent forward should be able to do both - like Laudrup. Unfair on Lovenkrands IMO. Lovenkrands did FAR more for Rangers than Lafferty could dream off. Ok, PL had a few off games at times but he was a big time player and performed a lot against Celtic and in Europe. He was never a problem off the park either. Lafferty never showed flashes of great potential, he was just so poor most of the time than when he played half decent it made him look better.

Calgacus 8 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Northern Ireland must be in a right state! That's abit unfair. They have a fairly small pool of players to chose from. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
