GovanFrontGers 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Again today he was so poor. Yes he will never be a left winger but he is very poor all round. No first touch and defo no pace, £3.5m dont make me laugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotBear 144 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think he'll be a big player for us in future. Yes, he's been poor, but it's still very early days for him. Once he gets a run in the team up front, I think he can shine for us. I'm not blind to his poor performances, but I've still got a lot of faith in him coming good.

andy500 463 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 He is an amazing Striker mate. Don't blame Lafferty for Smith's mis-managment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERRZO 5 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Sorry but I thought he played well today!!! When? He was our worst player by a mile. Entitled to your opinion m8 but I thought he gave their left back a lot of problems considering he aint a natural wide player. He is giving his all and biding his time to get a run up top!!! He is only 21 aswell remember!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imodium 412 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Sorry but I thought he played well today!!! Agreed. He chased everything, held the ball up and kept drawing their RB out when we were linking up on the wing. Certainly not a LW but no doubt his confidence will take a wee rise after his goal last week and solid performence today. On another note today was my first game at Ibrox since Kaunus and it was an absolute joy to watch Mendes boss the game. We MUST hold on to him until he hangs up his boots. This guy is a proper pro and will no doubt play to at least 35 and will still offer something positive to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUDGIE52 9 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Couldnt make the game today but will watch it through the week on RTV, listened to it on the radio and it sounded if he had a good game he seemed to skin Van Zanten at every turn and the boy got booked for it, Kyle seems to be getting more confident am 100% convinced he,ll come good for us.

Alwaysblue 709 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I also thought he played quite well today - especially as the game went on - 2nd half in the last 25 mins he was very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Smith is hanging him out to dry by deploying him at left mid. I've seen the real Kyle Lafferty for NI and when played up front he's an asset. Left mid, however? Nah. He struggles there and he unintentionally disrupts the shape of the side. Play him up front or don't play him at all, Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStu08 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I was at the game today and glad I went!! Great display of attacking football from the Gers, finishin could have been better at times but we are in good shape ahead of next Saturday!! Ferguson and Mendes are starting to click together!! Don't particularly agree with Smith using big Lafferty wide left but.....it didnt cost us the game, we won, Lafferty played well, get over yourselves and give the guy a break!!!! Is there ever a time when we can all commend the team or u just permanent pessimists?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southdown 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The boy played well today, much better than Kenny Miller and looked quite dangerous when cutting in on his right. He was prepared to run at defenders which neither McCullock or Adam can do. Have to disagree he played well and will start against Celtic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 He had an up and down day. He is not a left winger and should be tried up front with Boyd. Aaron should get a chance at left wing. Miller had an off day today as did Davis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooon29 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I though that he did ok. He does not seem to have a turm of pace which does concern me especially since he is unlikely to geta sniff up front for some time to come. I would love to see Novo in for the OF game as I feel that full backs and especially Hinkel is there weak spot and a bit of pace could be the undoing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersJamie52 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Whatever...he might of done well but i am NOT wanting a striker to make the left wing position his own! I want us to bring in a natural left winger or put Aaron there. TBH i think this is turning in to another McCulloch. Putting a striker in Left Mid then moving him about!

SuperRangers 2 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Lafferty played well today, how about giving him a bit of credit for a change ? I dont know how anyone can say he nearly cost us the game, feck knows what game they were watching : Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brissyger 8 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 He had an up and down day. He is not a left winger and should be tried up front with Boyd. Aaron should get a chance at left wing. Miller had an off day today as did Davis. I agree. He had some decent runs but he didn't go to the byline often enough, looked a little indecisive when taking his player on and was late on several tackles taking the pressure off them in their half. Definitely doesn't have the making of a winger in my opinion and if he's going to be played it has to be up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchestGer 347 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I dont think he's done too bad, it must be hard for him with all this added pressure when he's not even being played in his natural position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 he will hopefully get a run in his true position at some time this season i think its unfair to judge him playing out of position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmico1986 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 big kyle done well today in an un-natural position. if boydie and miller weren't firing on all cylinders he would be playing up front and no doubt he will in the future get his chance to shine up there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
