Smell the hotdog 4,015 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I thought the wee man was class yesterday. Everytime the ball came into him he held it up and found a man to lay it off to. Some time since we had a striker at Ibrox who the ball can stick to. Gave Berra a torrid time even though he's about half his size. Has the trickery to make space and get away from players, seems we've got a real player on our hands. Was unlucky with the offside effort, Windass stopped as he was off, Wallace was on a mile. If we give this boy the service he will be the 20 plus striker we've been crying out for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity he never scored yesterday. If he had, I'd agree with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooooootchy 405 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 His touch was excellent and held up the ball well . Looks like he won't be bullied. Could of used someone closer to him though . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,929 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thought him and Jack were excellent. Play him up top himself, try and get a class number 10 just off him, Dorrans as well, a left winger, and Candeias or Windass to his right.

All of PC signings have been good with question marks still over the two Mexicans. Just doesn't seem to be clicking and getting the points on the board.

If we were playing, say a 4-2-3-1, then i'm happy with the 4-2 so far. However it's that '3' just off the main striker that's letting us down. There's no magic there. It's slow, predictable and nowhere near dangerous enough. Naismith, Aluko and Walker please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a trier but doesn't really look a threat.. He'd probably benefit from having a target man in our team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really like comparing them to us but the tarriers play 4-3-3. the Lego eater sits and the rest attack/flood the box and all of them at pace. They have 6/7 players who'd score 10 plus goals a season. I look round our team and see Morelos scoring but not really a lot else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtanian 252 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Looks like he will be a brilliant player for us and will only get better, didn't score yesterday but needs far better service to stand a chance of getting a goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to touch the ball, be in the keepers line of vision, or interfere with play. That's my understanding of the rule. Neither applied regards Windass. Another break that went against us rather than for us, we just can't buy a bit of luck (never mind rule enforcement) at the minute. And I love the look of Morelos, he just needs help and service.

MasterD 7,435 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 One of few players I like. Unfortunate that the midfield isn't creative enough and the other forward fucks off leaving him up there himself having to run out of central areas.

stewaj3 1,446 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Our problem is not the strikers, it's that we create next to nothing for them.

Their keeper had so little to do and I honestly think we were well into the 2nd half yesterday before our players and Pedro realised they were here for a nil nil. When a team is sitting in so deep then creativity which we lack us needed. Or the numbers game where you flood the box with players and crosses and by the law of averages something goes in. Instead we played possession in a horseshoe shape ftom right wing backwards to CH the left and up that wing. And back. And reverse. And repeat. The players will be as to blame for Pedro getting the sack as he himself will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
