Thought he linked things up well tonight. seems to be playing deeper now. Probably needs a goal or two 

not worried though 
 

It took him 25 mins to start holding it in, he needs refocused in shooting in sight of goals without thinking about it, he is trying too hard to be a team player to score the perfect team goal instead of being a bit more selfish, not got an issue with his play tonight though 

[DrLaudrup 4,596]

I think it is far less of a big deal than last season. Our squad is so much better. Previously almost all our goals came through him. We relied far too much on him. Now we've goals from all over the park,  there is plenty of options in his position and we are winning games. I think his work rate has been really good the last few games.  

[Polo 1,433]

Lacking confidence and needs a couple of goals. He wasn’t great in the first half but improved a lot in the second and was involved in some decent link up play. 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715]

Poor touch and decision making on show yet again tonight. Did OK in bits, but not enough.

Don't think he's chucked it or anything, but he does deserve to be on the bench now.

[Zappa6995 3,645]

Many have said it, he needs dropped, rested call it what you will, needs to lose weight, get fitter, get his head down and get back into the team on merit, right now he’s getting a game for nothing and I think we have better options available.

[the old guard 2,323]

Needs to get fit imo, looks a stone overweight hence the first touch and balance being a bit off. 

[esquire8 42,452]

Big confidence issue. Needs taken out the firing line for a few weeks. Let Itten and Roofe take the mantle. Still has a major part to play the rest of the season but now he needs help.

[GOAT 30,449]

Thought he was poor the first half, a lot better the second.  Needs a goal.

[Bigdave30 8,701]

He passed when he should have shot and shot when he should have passed. Not one of his better nights, needs a goal.

[Inigo 32,526]

Same since December. Pretty frequent poor control and decision making. 

[maverick1200 2,828]

It's a testament to our squad that we don't rely on his goals now. Plus we have Itten and Roofe who can replace him. 

[plymouthranger 3,867]

He’s like playing with a man down at present. First touch is horrendous and he squandered about 5 promising attacks with woeful decision making. 
 

Needs benched, brought on against one of the weaker sides in the league so he can get some goals. Doesn’t even look like a £2 million striker at present, let alone £20million.
 

He’ll come good again, but we’ve got better options in Roofe and Itten on current form  

[graeme_4 34,436]

Beginning of the end for him tonight.

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.

It's not just scoring. Guy's touch and control is such a let down at the moment. He's had flashes of quality this season but he's largely been off it since Christmas. Need the old Morelos back.

One first touch in a scoring position tonight was a pass to their goalie. Whatever is up with him I hope he sorts it soon because on his form he is a huge asset but that just isn’t happening at the minute

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

Him and Hagi were poor and Kent barely any better.

Never thought i’d say this but should be benched for Sundays game.

[bluenoz 30,821]

I'm not sure this new role (false 9) works. More often than not, his first touch is clumsy and his passing is average. In the past, he scores goals with great instinct and in a more forward position.

Gerrard has adapted the Liverpool approach but I'm not so sure Morelos can play it like Firmino does.  Roofe seems more that player to me.

In saying that, I still think Morelos is a very special player and will no doubt start scoring again soon.

[simplythebest 11,453]

In many ways it’s a good thing we aren’t relying on him as much now

Kents workrate was tremendous.

I thought Kent was good and worked really hard, but agree about Hagi and Morelos. 

[Swally 6,289]

if roofe is beating players like he did the night, looking generally hungry and beating players, not even taking his wonder goal into account - he has to start before morelos.

Even if Roofe is not being used through the middle I'd still have Itten in there.

He needs dropped to get his shit together.

[Prso's headband 35,428]

The new role excuse is wearing thin now. That doesn’t excuse his touch and passing to be that bad that it creates counter attacks for the opposition 

[ger4life_1872 29,454]

Frustrating I think covers it for me,  we were crying out for the rest to get up nearer his level a year ago and now they are he has dipped , what a team we would be if we can get him firing to those levels again 

[Dan Deacon 55,156]

Confidence nothing else.

[Blueshoff 11,779]

Two good saves from the keeper tonight or he could have had a brace. 

[ShanksRFC 3,869]

His link up play is still ok, could be doing with a few goals though.

I expect Roofe to start on Sunday.
