Larne 0-0 Cliftonville: Leaders 'needed to do more' in Reds draw
Larne manager Gary Haveron said the Irish Premiership leaders "needed to do more" in Tuesday's goalless draw at home to Cliftonville. After Coleraine's win over Linfield, Larne's lead at the top of the table stands at four points over the Bannsiders, however Haveron's side have two games in hand.The top two in the table face off at Inver Park on Friday, and Haveron feels his side need to do more in attack compared to Tuesday's draw with the Reds."For all the dominance we had with possession of the ball, we didn't ask enough questions or trouble the goalkeeper enough," Haveron said."We dominated the game but not the scoreboard. We needed to do more."Haveron felt Larne had two "massive shouts" for a penalty waved away by referee Evan Boyce for challenges on Tomas Cosgrove and Matt Ridley. "They are two absolute stonewalls, if they aren't penalties then I don't know what is."In a boost for Larne, star striker Andy Ryan returned from a long-term knee injury as a late substitute and Haveron said they had "missed him badly""He's obviously our talisman in terms of goals. He's very sharp in and around the box, and if a chance falls to him he's prolific. "It's great to have him back. We have to get him up to match speed as quickly as possible. Andy is going to be like a new signing."
