Lafferty Vs Novo

[kingbarry 2]

Right, is there much of a comparison here in terms of playing ability? We all love Novo, he gets the fans going and tries 100% no matter what the score.

Lafferty, he tries just as hard IMO, but i reckon hes just as good as Novo, while being a bit arrogant, Novo takes slightly more of his chances, or gets more chances than Lafferty does, yet Lafferty gets the nod?

If Boyd is being dropped, id prefer Novo given the nod over Lafferty.

Thoughts?

novo over laff anyday

[derekweir29 505]

novo anyday without a doubt

No comparison in my books, Novo every single time, no contest.

I think Novo tries harder (or looks to be trying more harder). But i suppose it makes a difference because the supporters love one but get on the back of another).

I would prefer novo out wide. But lafferty through the middle. Just because laffertys younger he has potential to be a good player. If he could learn how to head. He doesnt really get many chances. But Novo is a better finisher IMO

Lafferty, hes alot younger and has his whole career ahead of him, novo is 31 and has no skill what so ever.

Novo every time if they were presented with the same goal scoring opportunities imo novo would take more of them

Neither player should be played up front. In fact Kyle Lafferty should not be played anywhere!

Give me Nacho Novo ahead of Lafferty every single day of the week.

That's not really true though is it? If Novo had no skill whatsoever he would have been found out years ago and wouldn't have achieved what he has with Rangers. A lot of people like to bump their gums about certain professional footballers being no better than the guys siting in the stands. This is of course complete and utter guff.

Lafferty

[Scott-RFC 308]

I think Lafferty is capable of more

[super hans 55]

I think it's time for both to go, although i'd have Novo in the team over Laffable anyday.

I think Lafferty is capable of more

agree

still would play novo on the wing rather than lafferty

[mmrfc1873 48]

Novo tries harder than lafferty, I can remember when we beat hibs 4-1, even at the last minute when we were 4-1 up novo was chasing the ball down like a dog chasing a car. Novo every day of the week for me.

[mmrfc1873 48]

I would prefer novo out wide.

Mmm . Novo for me. I think smith plays lafferty because he went and paid over 3 mullion for him.

[Guest SandyIniesta-Nordahl]

Neither

The question was who has more ability, not who can "chase the ball like a dog chasing a car" I love Novo's work rate and his passion but anyone can chase a ball, these days he just runs about like a headless chicken.

I understand all the things Novo has done for us and he is the closest we have to a legend, but in current from, forgetting the past neither players really have any ability, but Lafferty I feel has a tiny bit more in him, I see it in glimpses, as for Novo I don't see any skill anymore.

Both are terrible footballers, but Novo does at least have some sort of ability.

I have been saying this for too long on here but I really do think that Lafferty has the ability to make it. He passion is top notch and some of his moves *in non dangerous areas* and his ability to turn and go past a man, are great. He needs to bring that to the final third and more specifically in and around the box a lot more. If he does...he is hoping. Agreed he is an arrogant prick at times.

Lafferty V Novo, no contest Novo every time!!
