I accept your opinion but it's not one I agree on we will see the best of Defoe in these coming months.

At this moment in time, it's not even close imo.

Defoe is good and I'm sure he'll play his part in the remaining games, but Morelos, on his game, is easily one of best strikers we've had in years.

What previous strikers would you say he's as good as or better that featured for us?

He's better than every striker we've had since Jelavic, and even then, it's a tough choice between the two imo.

Try the here and now.

Alfredo couldn't lace Defoe's boots ffs! He could only dream of the talent he has.

He is but someone who has potential and a long way off being the finished article. 

For natuaral ability, Kent is a fucking mile ahead of him.

Alfredo plays in a footballing backwater and came from an even bigger one and now in a team rising from very troubled times and with only one team really to beat, so when we look at his record against them as a striker, great he is not and great he mght never be. 

We can commend the attributes he does have, but ffs let's not try and make him out what he is not. It's becomng fucking embarassing.

Defoe was a great player - at 37 or 38 (the here and now) not sure whether or not that's still the case.  

Great players are not all about purely natural ability and as much as rate ent our team at this juncture needs Morelos more.   We want to buy Ryan for 2M and sell Alfredo for >10m - speaks volumes.

One commonality between both players is that none yet represents the finished article - develop and sell both would work for me.

Jelavic for me was a better player and a better striker the league was better when Jelavic played and the quality was better.

I can definitely see the argument for Jelavic, he was quality. His finishing was better, and some of his link up play/passing was brilliant.

I would say Morelos has better work rate and has the ability to create something out of nothing, plus his power is a great feature to have in this league, defenders hate him.

Morelos is still way behind Jelavic right now.

Understandable considering Jelavic was 24 at the time of signing and cost £4.5m.

He arguably had his best years at us as well whereas Alfredo has his whole career ahead of him, frightening how good he could turn out to be in a few years time.

Morelos is our playe. Tavernier should not have handed the ball to Defoe if he didn’t take the pen the ball should have been handed to Morelos. Gerrard called Morelos over after Defoe took the pen and told Morelos he had it covered and would deal with it.  Tavernier is the team Captain and should show some responsibility on the park so as not to cause division in the dressing room. As Gerrard said after the game Defoe is third in line to take pens after Alfredo. As  Tav should have known.

Comparing Defoe and Morelos is nonsense mate. Completely diferent types of striker. Defoe as you should know over the years is a natural finisher with equal quality in midfield to supply him. Morelos is not a natural finisher but is the type of player that  a lot of teams are looking for as he leads the line perfectly and at 22 is a serious prospect. The game has evolved since Defoe was in his pomp and a Morelos type striker is what many teams are looking for in a front man. You have to fishing and I'll bite cause you are taking pish mate.

😂😂 comedy gold in here tonight. 

It’s this simple if Mo doesn’t play we have no chance of winning anything. If we had let Mo go and simply relied on defoe I doubt we would finish third never mind second.

exactly.

It's the same two posters week in week out having digs at Morelos. It's tiresome. Call him a moody cunt or selfish because he can be but the fact remains the same, he is our best player and we go nowhere this season without him.

[6superbarry6 14,152]

If it’s not Morelos it’s Tav that’s getting it, tiresome and embarrassing

BA and his split personality 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,771]

We can be a bit hit and miss but everything that’s good about us as a side starts with Morelos.

He’s aggressive, he gets in opponents faces and he runs himself into the ground. He literally sets the tone for how the rest of the sides plays when we play well.

Does he need to mature a little bit, absolutely, but I don’t know how any Rangers supporter who watches us on a regular basis can’t rate him.

Disappointed actually Tavernier gave it to Defoe.

It could cause a divide as in why did Defoe get it and not Morelos?

Is Defoe our main striker now cause he’s the bigger name?

Head down Morelos and bang in a couple against the sheep

[35 Yard Dangerman 3,475]

I don't really fancy watching Morelos hit a penalty actually. I don't think he would be as clinical as Tav and Defoe actually.

Placement of it wouldn't be as precise I don't feel.

[RangersMedia 35,961]

Tavernier shouldn't have hit the 3rd one. He missed the 2nd. It should have fallen to Morelos given he's Gerrard's 2nd choice PK taker. If Morelos then scored he should default to main PK taker until he misses. Isn't that the fairest way / the way it works at most teams?

Tavernier pulled rank on the 3rd penalty despite the best efforts of Arfield to get him to give it up. On the 4th one he then gives it to Defoe. In this situation IMO Alfredo is entitled to feel aggrieved. We all know he's an emotional guy, so I've got no issues with his reaction to the whole thing. Would be a different story if he just chucked it and thought he cba playing for the rest of the game but he didn't down tools, for the rest of the game he continued to work his socks off and was desperate for a goal. 

He's our best and most important player. The captain should know and appreciate that.

Jesus wept. It's been in the public domain pretty much since he arrived here.

"I hope to be doing very well and get a bigger club in the Premier League at the end of the season". That was just after he signed for us!

There is millions of it out there and he has never kept it a secret as to what we are to him and where he wants to be. Can't really fault him for that, but it doesn't exactly fill any manager with confidence enough to build a team around him.long term.

He keeps doing what he's doing until that day comes, that's fine.

[pcbear 10,913]

If Morelos was not such a torn face little fucker,  he would imo be only half the player.
