Also about how good they are in a physical and mental sense. Plus for a striker, all sorts of things which Lover lacks, like clinical finishing.
I personally think Lover is a decent finisher, but a bit unlucky at times. Remember that cracking chip vs QPR? That class little volley from a ball in from Jonas vs Brum? Lover and Shola are both good finishers, but what they get easily dealt with by most defenses in this league. In the CC they would probably be two of the highest scorers. Most teams in that league can't deal with Shola, which is why he scored like 11 in 11 games. Lover scored 13 goals in like half a season, 16 in all comps. Lover lacks strength, and also his positioning for a striker is **** most of the time, his timing has left him. But if you use him as an attacking midfield player, where he'll be on the ball, making passes, linking up with players and crossing balls into the box, he's quite an effective player. He's not effective playing up front anymore. All he does is makes endless amount of runs and hopes players will pick him out. Put him in an involved role and you see a whole new Lovenkrands. He's not a great player, but a decent one when played in the right position. 75 is a fair rating for Lover IMO.
Disagree, he's a good Championship or SPL striker, and 71/72 is a good rating for a player at that level. Not effective enough in the PL to warrant something like 75, although he is faster than they've given him credit for on '12.

How long does it take you to write your blogs? Your blog about the city - napoli match is very long. Must have taken you like an hour to write it, go through it and finalize it?
I've written blogs on various stuff in the last year - Football manager and real games. It didn't take me that long to do a similar one in all honesty but his are way better -20 minutes max
Was finished within 20 minutes of full time. I make notes as the game is played, then write the first half report based on the notes at half time, then finish it after the game.
Was beating someone 4-1 online with NUFC so I brought on Perch for a laugh. He scored a quality goal as well! Perchino for the no 9!
Wouldn't we all. I'd personally love to be a person who tests games and reviews them for money. Or a movie critic.
Does anyone else agree that there's not much difference in strength between Saylor and Tiote? Atm I have Saylor at strength 84 and Tiote at strength 85. I personally think Saylor could be a little bit higher than that. Tiote definitely uses his strength better than anyone else on the team, but in terms of brute strength, I'd say they were around equal. Anyone agree?
