BR_54 15 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 He's been good for us thus far, but...His performance today has been near that of Laff's on Thursday, but it'll probably be totally overlooked, seeing as everyone thinks he's some sort of messiah.Just sayin.

KeepBelieving1872 64 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I agree. The lone striker role is tough when you have players of seemingly limited attacking threat in midfield of Edu, Bartley and Davis.Yet Lafferty gets abuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR_54 15 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Lafferty deserved the abuse he was shocking, as Jelavic has been today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie2909 21 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Get a grip guys he has had fuck all today to work with the ball has been lumped up constantly to him with no support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,436 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 He's had a couple of chances, the shot just there was a disgusting effort, had a couple of headed chances that he should have at least hit the target with 1 and made the keeper make a harder save with the otherSo far, nowhere near a £4m striker, this is the type of game he was bought forHe'll get the excuse no service, but when Lafferty plays upfront himself he just gets called shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM_72 3,648 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Jelavic has been really poor today, can't argue with that. He's had far less support than Lafferty got during the game in midweek, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR_54 15 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 The shot - Awful effort dragged wide, good chance.The header - Awful effort never hit the target again, real chance.Then a couple half chances in the box where he's blasted over/scuffed it, has he even hit the target today!?Like masterd said, these are the type of games he was really brought in for, not the cannon fodder of the SPL.He's shown a couple nice touches, but he's looked far from a striker let alone a £4m striker today.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 He was isolated, stuck up front himself, no support. He was poor, but not the worst.He needs a partner, support and chances created for him. He wont get that under Walter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR_54 15 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 He was isolated, but: 1) he had chances.. And 2) for £4m especially in our fucking situation isolation should make no bloody difference.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossS1873 1,669 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i could pick 2 or 3 players who were worse than jelavic today, he had less service that lafferty did on thursday. but the team as a whole was shocking. how can we bring on 2 strikers and still sit so deep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazz74 5 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Jelavic's neck must be killing him every time the ball came to him it was coming over his head. Roll on next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 no service, no support and no nothing, a world class striker would have had a shocker as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR_54 15 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Haha, not a scapegoat at all...

Stardog 11 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Jelavic is class. Lafferty is shit.Lafferty was through on goal twice and did fuck all. Jelavic wasn't through once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Correct,his worst performance in a Rangers jersey but you can add the rest of the team to that.It spread like shite on a blanket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,714 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Comparing Lafferty to Jelavic between Thursday and Today is silly.Lafferty was clean through on goal about 5 or 6 times against Lisbon and instead of running towards the goal he hit a shot from outside the box.Jelavic always have atleast 1 man on him, you can't say that he got as many clear cut opportunities as Lafferty did on Thursday.Once we get money, and bring in decent players, and can afford to play a 4-4-2 against Celtic from start to finish is when you'll see Jelavic against Celtic! .. if he is still here when we get taken over in 2014 or whenever it will happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie1807 146 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 He had a bad game, but I'd say it was his first bad one.Every player has a bad game once in a while, and sadly today's was Jelavic's. But, he was still so isolated I felt sorry for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
