Amac9 2,060 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Millers not good enough to be a lone striker. Simple.When was the last time he was played as a lone striker for us and it actually worked spot on?And by worked I mean he was able to get on the ball, hold it up, bring others into play, work the channels and look dangerous when through on goal.It seems Kenny Miller has developed into a striker that focuses mainly on getting in the box rather than doing too much work outside the box.

4MenHadADream 122 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Give him a break, he's been on great form all season, and his "greediness" is likely just confidence in his ability to find the net Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 He frustrates the fuck out of me but he is a tryer . But who else noticed the red scumbag who got on the pitch to kiss mr potato face after the penalty WILL THEY BE PUNISHED ???????Is that not Dr John Reids security teams fault for letting him on the field?

mmrfc1873 48 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 He isn't lazy, not in the slightest bit, although he's not European class, he's not got a football brain and he's definitely not a man that should be playing upfront on his own in any competition.

mmrfc1873 48 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 What i would say is tonight showed the difference between Premiership and SPL. Miller is known as a fast player in the SPL, but tonight he had a mini race v Carrick and Carrick won at a canter. Carrick isn't even known as one of the speed merchants in the Utd team but the physical level of prem teams is so much more impressive than of the SPL.Same, its so sad that their is that much of a difference between the two leagues. Premiership players are just that one step ahead in every single department, and that wont change any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 One week he's a World beater the next week he's a carpet beater.The reason I never wanted him signed,he's been fantastic for us though but the chances he has missed for Rangers could have changed our history.Hope he finds his form again soon.

G.E.C. 18,821 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Not to sure if this is a pointless fact or not but that is the third Champions League game where I have seen him do the followingGet the ball in the box, take 1 or 2 touches before trying to shoot. Why can't he just blast it first time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 He's not good enough for this level (CL), he is useless in the lone-role (not all his fault). He's lost his pace, his distribution is shocking and he doesn't know the offside rule... but, in Scotland, he does a job, and has been one of our better players.He's out of contract in the summer, if he doesn't sign a new deal, then we replace him. We've lost bigger and better players and will continue to do so. I don't like his attitude at times and he can be lazy, instead of moving for the ball he chooses to blame others and he's a hit or a miss when he's got time. Instead of striking the ball in the 1st half, he took 2,3,4 extra touches and passes it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedurranty 28 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Lazy, greedy, wee shite.

Davie2909 21 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Every CL game he has had cracking chances and missed very single one of them.

Unfair, at times, yes, but he's just not good enough for that level and HE CANNOT play the lone role!Totally agree that he can't play as a lone striker, but just lofting the ball up to him doesn't help. 9 times out of 10 he is offside. He reminds me more and more of Boyd after every European game. Not signing a new contract, terrible in Europe, banging them in on a consistent basis in the league, forever offside... I think the role he plays in Europe would have been great for Jelavic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham 3,465 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It's ridiculous how many times he's caught offside. Even domestically it's the same. He seriously has to sort out his timing and awareness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 His work-rate is a massive myth to many folk - particular to folk to watch on TV - as he might give a short burst but the folk at games in particular see he doesn't work as hard as some might think. Tannochside Bear and Muff have also posted many good posts about Kenny Miller regarding this and other facets to his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
