Its funny he was the one player Gerrard spoke about before we signed him saying he was a huge fan and wanted to sign him and hes turned out to be the worst
You mean when he was pushed over and denied a Penalty right..?Thought he was worth a try when he arrived but it soon became obvious he wasn't up to it. No real harm done (the dive against the sheep aside).
He didn't dive..Was willing to give him a chance until he dived against the sheep when it was easier to score. We need a new striker in January, one that competes with Morelos and makes Lafferty a back up option/third choice.

Don't buy into media propaganda eh..?
Seriously, don't talk shite. Go and look at the challenge again, he gets pushed in the back at the same time as he's changing direction to try and keep the ball away from the keeper.Are you being serious? Of course it was a dive. He didn't complain one bit about his booking, Gerrard was scathing of him after the match hasn't inlcuded him in any squads since.
Saw him in the shops yesterday he looked absolutely miserable.

Just because some Timmy nonce commentator says it's a dive folk on here buy it hook, line and sinker.
Look with your own eyes FFS!
We were denied a Penalty, pure and simple and I don't care how he reacts. We don't know enough about him to know if that's how he normally reacts. I thought he couldn't believe it when he saw the card but thought better of complaining. Who the fuck knows? Point is, it was a foul, not a dive..
Yet played in a semi final? He made no impact whatsoever in that game, nor in any previous appearance for the club. I'm not sure how long you wanted to persist with him, but it was obvious from very early on it wasn't going to work out for him.Wasn't given a fair chance imo
How do you know it was nowhere near enough..? Look at the Aberdeen players pushing arm. The force of the push sends his arm clear across his own body and he loses balance slightly as well. Sadiq was changing direction at the precise moment he was pushed, so his own momentum is moving in the direction of the push. How the hell do you know that wasn't enough..?There was a hand on the back but nowhere near enough to send him down. There was a big chance he could've got round the keeper for an easy finish but he took the lazy option and went over.
I have seen it with my own eyes, and so has the manager. If it was a stonewaller he wouldn't have been so angry with him.

3rd choice forward is a tough player to sign, what do you do?
If you give it to a kid you limit their games and development as such.
A loan who will leave seems as obvious as any other option as the harsh reality is a 3rd choice striker shouldn't really play anyway.
I had no interest in watching Sadiq play games when we didn't need him on the off chance we might need to play him - it was just unfortunate circumstance that result in us needing him for 90 minutes...and even then.
Lafferty should be third choice. We need better than him.
Pish, utter.
When Souness was manager of Southampton didn’t he trial a ‘player’ who came with some kind of recommendation and during training said player turned out to be a complete nonentity?
With this guy I think Roma and ourselves were both duped.
Not guilty honestHow do you even have his Mrs on instagram hahahah
Was wondering that too lolHow do you even have his Mrs on instagram hahahah
Lafferty will be third choice come January
Definitely, imagine him Pena and Herrera in the same team we would be unstoppableWasn't given a fair chance imo
Laffbot is still better than ShanklandLafferty will be third choice come January
In that semi final I couldn't believe how bad he was. Legs all over the place, couldn't time a run and was constantly offside. When we were in wide positions with the ball he had zero anticipation to make a run / create himself half a yard in the box - nothing.
Then the dive. I see some are defending it on here saying it was a penalty?
He rounded the keeper and should have burst the net - but shat it. The loan should have been terminated that night.
I hope he's got an aisle seat on the flight home.
Yeah, I'm talking about the actual incident and you're talking about Timmy propaganda..I honestly think we're talking about two different incidents here..
So you can't see the Aberdeen player reach out and push Sadiq on his left shoulderblade..?Usually I'm pretty patient with players.
However he is one of those players that you only have to watch very briefly to realise he is absolutely god awful.
Should have said we are now about to see a thread descend into farce as Spin City tries to defend the most blatant dive you have ever seen.
Hardly the shock of the century.
