It's crazy, it really is! It's not just that he's a proven goalscorer, he is an improving goalscorer. In 18/19 he scored more goals and more regularly than he did in his first season. I get people's point against celtic but it's not as if he hasn't contributed against them. The 1-0 in December he was fantastic, of course it's easy to forget that considering what happened at parkhead a few months after. He doesn't have a complex in big games either. He has scored against every side in the top 6 last season apart from celtic and he has scored goals in Europe and against decent sides like Rapid and Maribor. It's not just the goals but it's what he contributes to the side overall. He works his socks off and it pays off because he helps team mates score goals. His assist numbers are good as well and like his goals have only improved from his first season and in less games (in the league). If he sorts his head out he, and Defoe, WILL fire us to 55.

It was lost by not being able to beat the other 10 regularly enough, Given the number of goals he got against them we'd have been battling for 3rd/4th without him. Losing Morelos will be utterly detrimental to our title challenge Scored against Maribor, Vienna, Spartak in group stages and qualifiers for the Europa league. Imo that's a bigger stage than any game in this league. Wont mean as much to people but it is the premier level we play at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
born a blue nose 90,381 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm well n truly out my huff with him and think he could win us the league, and if he improves anywhere near as much as he did in the off season last year he will be frightening. Just turned 23 too, he's at the age where he will be developing nicely. Front 3 of him Kent and ojo please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 IIRC Windass was slated for exactly the same, only scored against the wee teams then done it at Ibrox, mysteriously the argument disappeared like a fart in the wind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it so important to score against celtic? You have 11 different teams in the league, two cup competitions and Europe. If he scored consistently across all I couldn’t give a fuck who he scores against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The goals against them will come and the fact he hasn’t scored against them yet is the sort of stick that you usually only see taigs beating him with. Morelos has played in games and scored against teams who are of a comparable or higher standard to celtic in Europe so it’s not like he’s looking like it’s lack of ability or an inability to handle playing against higher quality that has stopped him scoring.

Does scoring against celtic count double or have greater significance? If we beat them with an OG I’m delighted, it’s the score line that matters not the scorers.
