BlueThunder 8,453 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think it is partly confidence, but I also think he has been asked to change the way he plays - he doesn't shoot on sight as much as he used to, preferring to try and lay it off. He was flying when he was the focal point (except after Christmases) but now he isn't quite so important. Having said all that, the chances he missed last night were good chances.

I'm happy to be proven wrong with Gerrard if we do the business this season, that obviously remains to be seen, will you ever change your attitude towards Morelos? Doubt it.

He’s became more of a team player rather than a selfish striker. He’s clearly been given a different role and it’s benefiting the whole team with goals spread amongst us. He does however need a goal or two soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 He's had weeks of starts as we had to persevere with him in the team due to injurys and although his link up play has been pretty good overall, he needs dropped imo. Shocking 1st touch and has a tendency to give the ball away cheaply on occasions which inevitably turns into a counter attack for the other team. That coupled with the fact hes just not scoring means a spell on the bench is needed when Roofe and Itten are champing at the bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus1965 366 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Think i would be starting Itten or Roofe on Sunday , Morelos has had numerous chances to impress , and sadly , in my opinion , he hasn't taken them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie76 15,359 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Not playing anywhere near his best but still offers so much to the team, it's actually a good thing we don't rely on him so much this season for his goals, just think how good we will be when he gets his confidence back.

DeanMK 4,670 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Fully believe he'll start scoring again soon, but reckon Roofe or Itten should start ahead of him this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our whole style of play is set up for Roofe as the CF, doesn’t play to Morelos’ strengths. Roofe did more in 10 minutes than Morelos has done in weeks. My arse.

gmcf 34,152 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yeah , I'm another for giving him a break . Not criticising his effort , but he's not the player he was last season, and if it is because we're employing a new system then it doesn't appear to suit him as its nullifying his strengths .

It’s now more fluid with the expectation that he drops deep more to contribute, he struggles with that but who knows he might grow into it. The role suits Roofe more, I think that’s why he was bought as the manager thinks it will make us a better team than with Alfredo up front This. I would rather have a team where the goals are spread out and use alfie to create opportunities for others. Before the midfield sole job seemed to be to get the ball to him. Hence mark him out the game and we struggled. Lets not go back to that please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Roofe (if he stays fit) was planned to be our main CF this season. The tweaks are to facilitate that as he can’t be the battering ram Morelos used to be. And Morelos doesn’t play this new role effectively. The club 100% expected Morelos to be away over the summer. It’s a bonus he’s here, but the planning was for without him. His really poor form will see Roofe stepping in and being the main man for a run of games IMO. He takes his chance and Morelos becomes a fantastic substitute.

crazy bob swollenbaws 1,865 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Suppose the question is, is a goal from Morelos worth more than a goal from another Rangers player n a game? There is no rule says that only strikers, be it morelos, boyd or whoever needs to score all the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbm26896 995 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 There's a lot of nonsense written on here about Alfie, but he is still our best striker. He is also adapting to a new way of playing this season, and works really hard, i still think he is contributing to the team, but not with goals. Unfortunately, turning on our own players is standard for some on here. He is becoming a scapegoat for many, who cannot accept he is part of a winning team who have made our best start to the season , for a long while. We always need someone to complain about.

bassettger 365 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Morelos is a handful for any team even when not scoring goals and his movement means he will always have chances to score as he did in Belgium. He is a great player and he will score plenty this season provided our midfield can generate the chances. As Gerrard has pointed out we still need more going forward from that area of pitch. Let's hope the South African loan signing can provide more and stay fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Thought he was poor last night but played well on Saturday, clearly dropping a lot deeper now than he has previously. I would drop him for Sunday though as we now have the players to replace him when he needs a rest or is off form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
