Sadly I'm wrong. Canny handle cunts saying aye but he always comes good in the run in. Even if he did/does, big fucking wow, do it all the time you tosser. Always seems happy to just be on the periphery. That's harsh mate given the few minutes he gets to produce. If he plays 60- 75 % in the next three games and is still rubbish then I will agree with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair do's, obviously I hope he can step up and do the business but I just don't think he has what it takes to play with us these days unfortunately.

jbm26896 995 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Would start Lafferty through the middle with Defoe as back up. 3-1 Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,394 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 If we can't beat St Johnstone and Hamilton in the league without Alfie then we don't doesn't to win the league. As good as he is we should have enough to cope without him if we are real title challengers. That's why Gerrard wanted depth with Lafferty and Defoe. Kilmarnock is the one I'm worried about as Alfie has a knack of creating a goal from nothing which against a Kilmarnock is what is needed as they don't give away many chances.

Bigdave30 8,703 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I know most people think lafferty is absolutely pish and Defoes lacking match sharpness but as an off the wall suggestion how do you think they 2 would function as a partnership in a 4-4-2? (no I’m not on smack but you can only pish with the cock you’ve got) Would it be worth a go? I’d probably be more inclined to just 1 for 1 swap Morelos and Defoe and leave it at that.

BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I think it will be a straight swap Defoe for morelos. Defoe showed at Sunderland he can play the lone striker. Lafferty will come in if we need to change things up during a game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,975 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Our style has been built around Alfie’s strengths so there’s going to be a bit of adapting needed all over the team. Blue Avenger and trueblue 64 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burts91 427 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Genuinelly cannot comprehend why people would play Lafferty ahead of Defoe in a 4-5-1. Defoe is about 5 classes above Lafferty in every department except height. Defoe has spent his career playing against the likes of Vidic, Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher and numerous others. A fair few fucking times upfront on his own. He might not be as strong as Morelos but his football brain is twice as good as Alfredo. Lafferty should not be anywhere near the starting 11 tomorrow.

steven33jackie 1,920 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Defoe doesn't have it in him to be lone striker for 90 minutes. For me Gerrard has to be considering a 4:4:2 with Lafferty partnering Defoe. I know Lafferty so far has been disappointing but his past record shows that he can score important goals towards the end of a season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornabear 6,202 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'd play Defoe as he can score goals, I can't say that about Laff and it's goals that win games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amato 3,016 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Should recall Herrera to act as the target man with Defoe playing off him. If it works we could sell Morelos for a hefty fee in the summer and offer Herrera a new contract Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should go with width, (we didn’t last time and Boyd actually stated the way we set up suited Kilmarnock’s tactics and play). If we can provide decent service then I have no doubt he will bring us goals... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 no one offers a straight replacement for Morelos but we need every single player n the squad to man up and show they know what t means to play for Rangers --- Candeias style efforts from everyone and SG must get the tactics right - NO EXCUSES Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
