No website is dictating what a player is worth. The problem is, he's clearly below par for whatever reason and my biggest worry is that his moving on turns to shit with the club fucking it up and he stays. What will his head be like then?. His role does appear to have changed up front, but does he like it and he still doesn't get the best of service. We are too slow and predictable, not new, but it must be frustrating as a striker and asides from anything else, we have already spent a few quid and need the money. Just got a feeling things ain't right and nothing changed since Dubai. Maybe reading too much into it, but the Alfie situation, our playing style and dropping points has to fucking change, or we wont have to wait until xmas ti see if we are still in a title race. Off topic. Now five days since the last racist attack on Alfie, with plod investigating, yet not a word. Just how hard is this?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes contributed to the majority of our goals so far. Yesterday he was given horrific service. It's the tactics that are wrong, not Morelos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidorrp 282 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Morelos is our only striker that carry’s a goal threat at moment. Roofe and Itten aren’t up to speed yet. So we need him whether folk like him or not. And imo he wasn’t the problem yesterday. Still decent link up play, still causing defenders problems. Should have done better with header admittedly but he was there to get the chance. More concerned with service from Kent, Hagi, Jack, Kamara and wide areas!

He's nowhere near the player he was previously. Yes he's contributing, but he could be contributing a lot more. The spark isn't there, nor is the service.

bluenoz 30,695 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 If we are to let him go based on his performance yesterday then we would have to let everyone else go as well with that logic. It was a bad day for everyone involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many of our players are shitebags, not in the sense that they won’t go through a tackle - but in that they’re not brave on the ball. Aside from the fullbacks, Kent and occasionally Hagi no one tries to make anything happen. Morelos tries to force it sometimes, but usually from ridiculous angles. Edit: and Aribo. Missed him big time yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there’s anyone in the Rangers support that don’t like one of our best players. People are simply being critical of him which is entirely fair when he’s not performing as high as we expect him to. Morelos seems to always have a get out clause, ie it’s someone else’s fault. The fact is the majority of the team wasn’t good enough yesterday - this includes Morelos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad day for everyone involved. I thought McLaughlin and pretty much our whole defence was fine yesterday, but they didn’t have to deal with much. Kent was ok, that’s as far as I’d go. He was one of the few that looked dangerous and there was a passage of play where he beat 3 or 4 players. It came too late though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I have always been a big Alfredo fan but it's clear that his mind is not on his job. Has to be punted for the best price we can get (with a sell on clause). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiconicman 2,979 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Alfie may be a problem but frankly, with the way our midfield pass it side to side and offer no support to him, we'll never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 He's under a long contract and at the moment there's no interest with Lille having signed someone else and no other club in the running Keep seeing stuff like it's needs to be resolved but what does that even mean in this context?

doc holliday 1,653 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I like the 'Morelos has to go threads'...he usually bags a goal or two in the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornliebanktrueblue 667 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Morelos has had a hand in most goals. In first game he had more touches than in any game last year. He has clearly been instructed to come deeper to create space for for Kent and Hagi. We played poor as a team. I think without Morelos and an upgrade on Jack ( or kamara) we win nothing and hand them the league. Morelos can win us the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
