He's also contributed goals / assists and nowhere near as bad as poster imply --- playing development football last year and now plying his trade in front of 50k every two weeks. that step up is massive and why so many of our own youth cant handle it.

The young girl who got his top was one of the kids who was at Livingston and had to leave early because of the bangers thrown at the game. Whole family are Rangers mad. A terrific gesture by Jermaine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos is quite brilliant at creating chances for himself, but if you were to pick which of the 2 you would want pulling the trigger its has to be Defoe. He has been dead eye Dick his whole career, all square in the last minute I know who I would want our chance to fall to. and the more big names bigging up our club will do no harm Gerrard/Defoe and Gazza all in house this weekend.

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Liked the way Defoe was particularly effective when he dropped deeper and drew defenders out of position or had the opportunity to run into the box. Think there is an option against deep sitting defences to play Defoe in this deeper role with Morelos part of a front three, effectively a diamond front 4.

pcbear 10,923 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 You only have to look at what he done while at Sunderland for Bradley Lowery to see the make up of the man as a person, he is a good man, and a goal scorer of excellence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 4,001 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I can't believe he's only started 4 of our games and is the top scorer in the league! When you see him in the line up you just go okay whereas last season no Alfie very much meant no goals. Hopefully the club can sort a contract for him to join next summer.

LegendofCoop 17,363 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Have to admit I was slightly worried when we signed him.....thought it was money (a big wage) we could have spent on a permanent deal for someone. Also thought he would struggle to score. He did 'ok' last season, averaging a goal every two games. But this season he's been outstanding. I didn't see him upping his game any more, not at that age anyway. But just shows you what a good pre-season can do. He's now scored 9 in 7......at 37. He's scoring some quality goals too. The guy's just sensational! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Enclosure Row N 2,824 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Keep forgetting he is only on loan from Bournmouth. Think he is a free agent soon? Hope we offer him a contract. If a big money offer comes in, El Buffalo could be gone overnight anywhere in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwellGers 14,720 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 After rewatching the goals: Defoe's second goal is a fucking masterpiece, that turn he executed is typical of him in terms of first touch. He's really sharp. Then some superb dribbling, too quick for the defenders and I really think he had to hit the ball at such a precise moment for that to go in, he managed it. His instincts are plain to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander1 180 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Genuinely don't think it's an exaggeration to say a player with Morelos' strength and speed and Defoe's finishing and intelligence would be the best striker in the world. Immense to have this type of quality at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
