loyalfollower 1,543 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Morelos is no doubt an asset to the team, He’s top goal scorer in Scotland. A lot of his goals he near enough creates himself and granted he misses his fair few but so does every striker in the world. The fact we drop points when he doesn’t score or play says more about the rest of the team. No one steps up and takes the lead in having shots or makes things happen. Look at candeias shot last night for example, he slows right down to take aim only for the hibs defenders to get in the way. its totally unfair to blame Morelos for last nights draw. He played really well and should’ve scored but Macauley should’ve stretched at the corner, tavernier should’ve tapped that cross home,grezda should’ve let the ball come across him and take it with his left. All these digs at Morelos when in fact we wouldn’t even be 1 point behind the tims without him is laughable. What he needs is another good goal scorer and creator in the side. Some of the service he got was honking to say the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos is an asset but has to work on his finishing, we also drop points when he does play Aberdeenx2 Hibs, celtic, Livingston, Motherwell, Kilmarnock. your Candeias point fair enough but in the last game against Hamilton, he won us the three points. Mcauley should have anticipated the ball landing at his feet but he didn't and it, unfortunately, came off his shin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubts that he has to work on his shooting but again he shouldn’t be the only one getting in these positions. Look at the tims when that eduard or griffiths isn’t playing. The midfielders and wingers step up and take responsibility, it’s as if our players think it’s up to Morelos to score when in fact they have as many opportunities but will 9/10 look sideways. 17 goals before Christmas without penalties is a cracking return for a 21 year old striker. if only our midfield could chip in a lot more then we’d be well out clear.

There isn’t a part of Laffertys game that matches up to Morelos’s. In fact, Morelos is half a foot smaller and still better than Lafferty in air If you think Morelos is a top tier striker you are in cloud cuckoo land. He is not a natural and not clinical enough. He doesn't score when it really matters and last night yet again proved that. He gets many chances and if he was a top striker, he would have buried a lot more. Can fault his application, that is, when he decides to do it. He gets through oppo players with brute strength and and tenacity, not skill in slight of foot.. Tav when on his game, glides past players. He drops a shoulder and leaves them for dead. Mo doesn't have that, but he is a player that adds value. His biggest enemy is frustration, hence why he snatches at the ball so often after bursting his arse for 50 yards and bullying past the oppo. If he can get the composure, stop all the ball hunting and think more about getting nto good positions, letting others to the hard slog as is their job, I think he could score double what he does now. He wouldn't be fucked runnng all over the park and barging his way through defenders and would have so much more left in his tank to be more clinical in his finishing. Good strikers make their own space and it's done off the ball, not on it. He hasn't quite mastered or clicked on to that yet Another problem being on the ball as much as he is and having the personal duals all over the park, is that he is already a marked man, so gives the oppo the opportunity for him to be that target, so he has all comers booting him up and down the park and the focus on scoring is lost, so as I said let others to the hard graft and the oppo have to turn their attention to them, as they slip the ball through to a Morelos in space, bearing down on goal, bang, pick it out. Watching him smetimes is like watching schoolboys chasing after every ball. He has plenty players around him, so let them do it. It is a team game after all and it's also the team who can make him great or not as well as himself. It needs to be Gerrard plan to do it that way. He has a great opportunity to be that top tier striker if he can master his frustrations and sensititivities and he would then be the go to striker.

Let others do the hard slog and get kicked to fuck, after they make a slide rule pass to a Morelos in space, without bursting his arse and enough left in the tank for a clinical fnish.
