siamthedanger 2,855 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Quite surprised people still defend him after the scottish cup carry on last season tbh. Was most likely our last chance of silverware and even though the teams performance was unacceptable he never really helped the situation. He can't be relied on.

McCoist had hunners of service during our best days and missed more than he scored sometimes, but still scored barrels of goals for us. give Alfie decent service and your guaranteed goals. Plus lots of support from class players such as big Attila, who if he wasn’t scoring himself was setting up McCoist to score. Something Alfredo does not get much help with.

You brought up Miller and Boyd earlier in the thread but neglected to mention that they were often playing together!! Neither were overly relied on to be be the sole goalscorer in the team. Miller had Jelavic after Boyd left ffs. They also had guys like Novo, Naismith, and Lafferty spreading the goal scoring burden. And none of those guys were dealing with that huge amount of pressure at 21/22/23 years old. Morelos has weakness the same as any other player, and you may very well be right in saying he perhaps has more than others, but he absolutely isn't the problem. As has been mentioned previously in the thread, the severe lack of goals and assists from our other attack minded players and midfield three is what needs addressed this summer. In all honesty we were in this exact same position this time last year and fucked ourselves in the arse by wasting money on the likes of Stewart, Jones, Barker, Hastie and Ojo when everybody knew we were crying out for a genuine, quality player or 2 who could bring some creativity and a goal threat.

Swally 6,289 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I can’t believe people are defending Morelos because he is the only striker and therefore a poor wee soul who has to do it all himself. Then there are mentions of potent striking partnerships we’ve had in the past to back this up. This is not something to defend Morelos with, this is his big weakness and only in particular games his big strength. We’ve tried partnering Morelos with another striker and he is seemingly unable to work together with someone. No matter who’s fault that is, the common denominator is Morelos. Therefore we cannot rely on him as our sole striking option. In my opinion, If we are to have one main striker we need to have someone who is more flexible because Morelos is definitely not. The best case scenario would be to have another flexible striker of the same quality as Morelos and to have them both. I doubt this can happen though. Being inflexible is basically like telling the opposition every single week our tactics before we go out there and play. This would of course be seen as utter stupidity because our playing staff are not of the required quality to play our own way all the time and blow the opposition away.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Alfredo cost us less than 1M pounds. Dollar for dollar that is the best investment we have made in a striker in decades. On top form he is a nightmare for defenses. He is focused on hitting the target and that makes the keeper make decisions. Often that results in a decent save. His disciplinary record I put down to his 100% commitment. He does get frustrated when decisions are clearly wrong and against him and that's when the petulance comes out. As one of the first names on the team sheet he is a key member of our squad and will not be easily replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game yes, but like every keeper their saves that are average are made out to be something special. McGregor gets the same treatment, as does De Gea.
