islanderbear84 611 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I dunno where alfredo has gone so wrong. I thought when he first arrived he looked so composed with headers, yet lately it has been possibly the worst part of his game. I think hes the type of player where confidence breeds confidence, but the misses in big games have slaughtered him and now its in a downward spiral. Only thing is I dont think we can afford him the time to get some goals, get some confidence and hopefully make more goals from it. By then I think we would have lost games by his lack of a cutting edge. For me we definitely need to buy a new 18 yard box hound. The presence of someone putting him under the cosh may also bring his game out again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchammer 245 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Have to agree Morelos has lost it, looks even slower, and worse with the heading. control of ball is useless, loses it more by holding on too long, doesn't make a simple pass when needed. For a moment he does something right but we need it for a whole game, not for a moment in time. He's not going to improve. Has to be dropped and brought on as a useless sub to waste time. What am I not seeing that the managers see? HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 This has got to be the most depressing thread of the night. Sort of makes me feel better seeing the state of some folk. We won ffs, look forward with curiosity to seeing it when we don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backup 4,724 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The £11 million bid nonsense has created a rock and a hard place, let’s see how SG resolves having to drop the most (alleged) expensive player on our books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwyc14 116 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Forget Umar, we need another two strikers (plus a creative midfielder) in as competition. Morelos has a good goal tally to show from last season but looks shot of confidence and is more than partial to a strop. The pressure of being our frontline striker responsible for goals seems a burden on him in there two games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sairheid_bear 166 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 His finishing has been piss poor for a while. When he receives the ball close to goal it looks like he can't make up his mind what to do with it. Also needs a month of intensive heading practice. In his defence he is often asked to hold up the ball with little support. If your confidence is gone - and I think that's a big part of the problem - playing on your own up front must be fucking hard going. Maybe when Umar is available we'll have Alfie on the bench.

A lot of people refused to admit he was playing poorly, put it down to tiredness or whatever bullshit they wanted to, and were fond of saying "oh, but he works so hard for the team." Yeah, fair enough... His job is striker, and he's not scoring and has been missing sitters for a long long time - and it's steadily gotten worse. As I said when it seemed like everyone else was creaming about him - he is a young player with bags of potential - that is it. The abuse I got for the sentence in bold ? He cannot be and should not be our main striker, he's still learning his trade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
