tannerall 25,935 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Okay, we know he's petulant, and on seeing the sending off incident he probably left his foot in there hitting McKenna and provoking the response. However, most games now he's bundled and battered around straight from kick-off. And the big problem is he's stuck on his own up front with no other support. Some players thrive on that, like Cosgrove tonight, but when Defoe came on did we see him taking anything like the same physical provocation ? No. Quite simply cause Defoe has the experience and nous to deal with it. And that may be the first answer. I think Morelos needs to get really cheeky and clever, and gain the experience of getting free kicks early, (like Defoe did straight away), putting the pressure on the ref to protect him. Maybe Defoe can help there. But one of the other problems is that there's no on taking the brunt of the pressure off him, so he's dealing with it constantly. Does he need someone alongside to take the presure off ? And are our midfielders too busy looking after themselves to help out ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TamCoopz 19,605 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Don’t really know what kind of protection he can be given now, most refs have already made their minds up that he’s guilty whatever situation he finds himself in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle 53,557 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I don’t know - but I really think they are terrified of him, it’s clear with the amount of other managers who are weighing in with public criticism trying to sway the narrative that he’s just a dirty player. He’s actually magnificent at what he does. eejay the dj and murzo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,394 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Think it's too late for anything to change with regards him getting protection. Just need to enjoy the good and the bad of the wee brilliant nutter. Only way he'll get protected is by going to another league. His card is marked here now. Has been for sometime.

pcbear 10,913 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 He played it perfectly first half reacting to nothing and scoring twice, fuck knows what Tav was thinking about dragging Ferguson about when simply standing close by would have nullified him, sheer stupidity let them back into the game, Morelos was equally as daft prodding the defender in the baws, malicious no but stupid certainly, we went to shit when he was sent off its so frustrating as when he is on song he is unplayable, he is no fucking use to us in the stand. cascadeshrimp and BlueAvenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymorrison1 1,033 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 He needs to learn to play as part of a 2. hes brilliant as a lone striker, but every team now knows it, and channels their energy against him. i was at Stenhousemuir v Aberdeen replay last week(stenny my local team) and as we were leaving big McKenna was walking by eating pizza provided by stenny, whilst on his phone. tbf, I was half cut and roared at him Morelos was gonna take the shit out of him next week and he just smiled and laughed.. tonight he did, and prob nothing I said but McKenna looked like a skoolboy our there. i think maybe Defoe and Lafferty together could work, as soon as it went 10 v10 we looked 10 v 9.

No. Quite simply cause Defoe has the experience and nous to deal with it. Defore hasn't got the stature to play like that. He's a different sort of player. I've no problem with Morelos being phyiscal, holding off his man, even barging them a bit. But he needs to smarted up. After the ref warns him he stops being so obvious. Leaving the boot in wasn't smart and it's gotten him sent off. Problem is, players leave the boot in on him all the time and get away with it. No wonder he lashes out.

Spectre 1,663 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I still feel like he's refereed to a different standard. He is constantly fouled and gets nothing half the time, not convinced of roles were reversed he'd have got a penalty of an Aberdeen player had held him like Tav did Ferguson eejay the dj and cascadeshrimp 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
