After a while teams get used to it and sit on him, reducing the space around him. We need to play more into his feet and letting him use his strength to muscle defenders, imo he could be the difference this season. Unless it's too good an offer then I would rather keep him. The big problem there is that teams just put someone in front of him to cut out the supply. I know it has been talked to death but if we had 2 up front then there is another option. Especially if the other is taller then we can play balls in the air and hopefully knock one down for Alf or someone to get a shot off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, although midfield players are obviously covered by opposition players they are often seen as less of a threat as proven strikers, if you have two up front they'll likely be man-marked and will be able to pull opposition players out of position opening up space for the other striker. You see it all the time when players are parking the bus, quite happy for most of our players to play across them and they don't change position unless a dangerous player gets the ball. I know it works well in Europe and it's well proven in other leagues, but have to be honest I'm starting to hate the formation/s we play. Doesn't work in our backwater.

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 One of the problems on Sunday was the Morelos has long since put the tools away and the 2 new strikers haven't yet found their feet I don't know if he came from poverty but forpeople from that background often making big ,money is an end in itself and unfortunately that's the impression I get from him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pish about him coming from poverty, I don’t even know where to start with that. I don't believe Morelos can operate at the required level if he doesn't see a near future at our club, it's human nature to drop performance under that kind of circumstance. I do believe his performance has dropped and never recovered since January. If we lost the 3-0 St Johnston game due to other players not scoring I think a lot more people would have been on Morelos's back. Those other players stepped up and bailed him out. However, I don't believe the theory of passing Morelos £10 and him putting his feet up thinking he's made it because he thinks he's no longer poor. So I have to partly agree with @Thermopylae Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can barely control a ball these days, pace seems none existent, cant shoot, and doesnt even seem to be able to jump. Hes been a disgrace since xmas, and I dont get the desperate attempts to back him on here constantly as hes mugging the club right off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo neither have done one thing right in the minutes they’ve had, roofe even said in the press he was disappointed in his own showing so far I hope they prove me wrong and when either of them are on 29 goals with 8 games to go (no far from 30 goals btw😉) Then I’ll be treating them like god to use your words (when in reality I’ll just think they are our best player) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
