One day I'll come on here and somebody wont be obsessing over him. Some folks obsession levels with Brown is weird.

With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Morelos does miss bad chances, if you disagree with that you clearly dont watch us, he misses plenty of chances he should score. Just cause Dembele does the same thing doesnt mean its ok for Morelos to do it. Hes done well this season but theres still a lot to be done before hes the finished product imo, so let him get on with it HG5 and delparlane 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I remember Scott Symon being asked about the chances The Rhino missed. His reply was "At least he is getting into a position to miss then". Big Kitch scored enough to compensate for the misses. Morelos is just the same.

Exactly mate, down through the years we have always had 2 up top. When one would go off the boil the other picked it up,. Mo doesn’t have that luxury, so when he goes off the boil it’s glaringly obvious. Aye he should’ve had at least 6 to 10 more goals last season but what striker won’t tell you they should’ve scored at least that many more a season.

Must say, Arsenal’s efforts on Saturday made me think Alf isn’t as bad as all that!! Needs to start doing it routinely against the other top 6 teams before we get carried away, for me.

graeme_4 34,364 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 ‘Missed’ one major high profile chance last season in the 3-2 game. In the draw at the piggery Gordon made an unbelievable stop, and the other header was a difficult chance IMO. Think it’s harsh to be too critical. He does miss his fair share of chances, but he’s only 21 and his upside is great. He’s playing in a proper team now so let’s see it he can keep this form up. He’s essentially been our only hope for the last 12 months or so. Blueofblood and Courtyard Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miracle 7,789 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 He gets himself into positions to miss sitters. With confidence, maturity and composure he can be a great striker. I don't mind admitting I was a wee fanny at 21. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed mate, some of his misses has me pulling my hair. Time will tell if he has improved this season another striker alongside him would go a long way to helping him.

Agreed mate, he went downhill rapidly last year. Hopefully that was down to the management turmoil more than just him not being able to cut it. Interesting question would be if he bangs in 30 goals this season but can’t score against the scum, what would be said then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
