OPINION
It is a surprise that these Rangers and Northern Irish fans were not too pleased with Kyle Lafferty in this 2-0 win over Estonia on Thursday night. Lafferty provided the assist for the first goal, and his overall play was not that bad. Perhaps some of these views have been tainted by Lafferty being unable to impress for his club? Alfredo Morelos has been the star for the Gers recently, leaving Lafferty out in the cold as a result. This is why some of them are puzzled why he was starting for his country in the first place. To be honest though, he could have done a lot better than he did, however, some will blame this on the fact that he did not receive much service up front. This may well be the case, but that does not stem away from the fact that these fans did not think much of him.
