Was never crap.
They were all shite
Lorik Cana
Wasnt crap.
He was a bit crap mind.
Wasnt crap.
He looked it at times. His performance at Stamford Bridge in that 7-2 hammering was f***ing shocking.
We got beat 7-2 everyone was crap. The lineup was a shambles from the start.
Agreed.
And FWIW, I agree that it's a bit harsh to call Cana crap. His performance at home to Liverpool was superb and he started very well. However, he tailed right off, was displaced and kept out of the team by Meyler. His departure also left a bitter taste.
Great info, and sad to read. Did that three game run include a 3-0 against Chelsea, where Russell scored a deflected long shot? And Bally met a Gray cross with the best flying header I've ever seen? Or did I just dream it all?!
We have had some dross over the years but are there any players who despite being average at best, you liked.
Nyron will be top of the list but Higginbottom seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve.
I know he played loads as a sub (about 20 IIRC) but in the first Premiership season he only started about 9 games and he was joint top scorer on 4 IIRC. He wasn't the answer to all our woes, but Reid playing the midfield of Ball and Bracewell in the top flight, with Stewart up front and Agnew wide it's amazing we scored any goals at all. Russell with a bit of pace would have been an improvement on what we were often playing, but for some reason Kelly, Stewart and Mullen seemed to get more chances in various roles without delivering. We enjoyed our best sequence of results over the season in the 3 game spell Russell, Rae and Smith played, but none were given a decent run.
Also think Frank Clark playing him left wingback in a Citeh side plummeting down the leagues did his career no favours either. That and a few injuries more or less put paid to it.
