That tells you he's still our best striker in the mind of our manager. Last season Dick Advocaat made the point that Morelos and Defoe are two completely different types of striker. Morelos will come deep, link play, bully defenders, etc. Defoe wants a ball over the top. Morelos is our man for the big occasion. He does an incredible amount of work even when he doesn't score. It’s a different Morelos this season but I can’t remember the last time he bullied a defender and his link up has been more poor than good tbh. Had roofe been fit enough he would’ve started at parkhead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always available for a pass and his movement dropping deeper and wider has been a nightmare for defenders (Aberdeen, Galatasaray, etc). Some people, sadly, just look at the goals and don't seem to understand his overall contribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuck can’t people not see this? This isn't true tho. The stats show an 80% pass completion ratio despite being a striker often receiving the ball under pressure in the oppositions half. His link up play has been of a very high standard. In terms of movement to draw defenders out that's been working since day one. First league game of the season he draws out a defender and plays Kent in for the only goal of the game. Against Galatasaray he makes an excellent run that took out a defender and allowed Arfield to get in behind and score. Without these contributions maybe we don't win at Aberdeen, or qualify for Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goals aren't coming but I guarantee he'll still finish the season with around 25 in all competitions. He's already scored 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollok-bear 7,537 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Once the wee man bangs one goal in again he will be on fire. All strikers go through periods that they don't score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don81 2,837 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Wonder how much of his form this season is due to the lack of fans. He's one player who feeds off the crowd for better or worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,459 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Pass completion means fuck all when the 3 out of 10 passes he doesn’t make are that bad they allow the opposing team to counter attack like at Liege it happened 4 times The new role excuse doesn’t wash with stuff like that. He’s well off it just now, not anywhere near close to his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behave mate. Last season he was a completely different player. His passing was superb, hold up play was great and he was dynamic on the ball and would regularly beat his man. Can't even remember the last time he dribbled by a player? He's been abysmal this season in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the posters on here, who actually knows loads about football, explained to me that it was a new super duper tactic where Morelos was being played in the role of useless passenger!! Think its like Muhammed Ali doing the rope a dope tactic; Morelos is pretending to be useless and then will finish off our opponents, when the right time comes!!

Everything I said about Morelos is factually accurate. 80% pass completion rate which is where it was at against Porto away last season. He's drawing defenders out, holding up play, movement and pressing is still spot on. It's just the goals he's lacking but I'm still certain he'll finish the season with about 25.
