    Barcelona's Eto'o and Arsenal's Henry according to UEFA.

    PETER LOVENKRANDS has been acclaimed as the second best striker in this season's Champions League by UEFA.
    The Rangers hitman was rated better than superstars Thierry Henry of Arsenal and Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o in a table of 50 forwards playing in this year's competition.
    Lovenkrands was only denied the top spot by AC Milan's Andriy Shevchenko in rankings calculated by UEFA's own magazine, Champions.
    A complicated points system adopted by the publication took into account not only goals, but assists, shots on target and a player's disciplinary record.
    Lovenkrands scored four goals in eight appearances for the Ibrox club during their incredible run to the last 16 where they lost on away goals to Villarreal.
    The magazine said: "He has one of the highest conversion rates in the Top 50, scoring with 44 per cent of his shots this season.
    "His highlight was the brace over the two legs against Villarreal in the knock-out round, which almost gave Rangers an against-the-odds victory.

    "He doesn't get too many chances but often takes those he gets."

    Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy could manage only 41st spot while Lovenkrand's strike partner, Dado Prso, made the list at number 31.

    It's ben done by performances this year... Lovenkrands has been more deadly than the likes of eto in terms of assists and scoring. But it doesn't nessacerily mean anything as lovenkrands may have a higher percentage of goals from shots, but i bet you eto has alot more chances to score than lovenkrands. ETO obiviously jcan't finish them all so his percentage is knocked down... Hence why lovenkrands is above him.

    in simple terms say...

    lovenkrands scores 15 goals in 20 shots his percentage will be 75%
    eto scores 20 goals from 40 shots his percentage is only 50%

    This stupidly putting lovenkrands above eto.

    He's a decent player but form is temporary, class is permament.

    It still comes down to who would u sign? Lovenkrands or Henry? Any sane person would'nt look at statistics to make that choice. Besides 63% of all statistics are made up.

    I always said Barry Ferguson and Lovenkrands are the best duo in the world. If they had the same nationality, they would have won the world cup like 3 straight times yet!

    If Zurwaski/Maloney/Petrov has the same statistics next year, would you be laughing as much?

    Lovenpants had a good CL but is nowhere near any of the players mentioned (Henry, Shevchenko, Eto'o etc) because they produce the goods week in, week out. He's a flash in the pan.
