The elbow on Wednesday was needless but thankfully it never cost him or Rangers.  Hopefully he can start finding the back of the net soon. 

Beginning to think you have an elbow fetish. There are other sites you can go on for that.

Let it go mate. You're coming across as a bit of an Alfie hater. Probably racist tbh 

Anyone who reads this thread back will see I've been a huge supporter of Alfie throughout his entire time at Rangers.  Even when people were being very critical about the lack of goals I was praising his performances in his new role.  I still think he performs a crucial role but the lack of goals is getting a bit much now.  If you look at the SPFL goal scoring table he's not even there. 

This was a guy who scored 29 goals by this time last season.  The goals have dried up and right now I'd say there's no way we're being offered £16m for him again unless that changes.

Out scored by the likes of Nicky Clarke, Chris Burke and some guy from Hamilton says it all about his form.

You'd be as well just saying you're not racist cos you employ black housekeeping staff. Pretty disgusting and antiquated attitude these days.

What?  I lived out in LA and robbed banks a bit like Robert De Niro in that movie 'Heat'.  Only came back to Scotland because the American government had me expedited back to the UK.  

 

Expedited?

Good of them to speed up the process.

Exactly.  A guy on this thread just said Morelos is still our best "forward".  Roofe has been averaging a goal a game in the league despite spending most of the time in a wide role.  Roofe has 9 goal in the league, he's scoring top class goals for us in Europe, he's out best forward right now.

I'm making it up to be fair.

Was an excellent cameo.  I think he'd have been better than Roofe today.

Roofe driving into space in the box when given the chance set up the goal. Don’t think he deserved replaced on recent form . To be fair Alfie looked pretty sharp too when he came on

Hard to say, Roofe offers a lot and makes decent runs and creates a lot of space and is scoring regularly but on Morelos 10 mins today it is hard to argue against starting him.

[TMB 14,167]

I can understand why Roofe is making a case to be out best forward and why the manager would play him there.  However, Roofe can get us 20+ goals a season from that wide right position and that's where I'd like to see him stay.  That CF position should be for Morelos and Itten to compete for.  

 

[scottyc06 6,915]

The work rate today was fucking unreal!!! Go on Alfie, get yourself in that starting line up next Saturday and give it to they bastards!!! Knee slide right in front of plopp/brown take your pick wee man! 

[graeme_4 34,312]

Our best front 3 is Kent Morelos Roofe. 

I’d be looking at a replacement for Barker to actually give Kent some competition. Needs a bit of pressure on his place. 

[ready1873 3,867]

Alfredo showed how much a big team player he is for us when subbed on. Physical and aggressive, holds play and wins fouls. Even when not scoring he's a huge player. 

[bluenoz 30,580]

No reason why Roofe & Morelos can't play together in a front 3. For me, they are the best two forward options.  The other spot goes to Kent, Hagi or Itten.

I don't think we'll get the most out of Itten from a wide position.  Kent and Hagi's form has been a bit hit and miss this season.  I do think another wide attacker would be useful in January.

The front 3 are all interchangeable. None of them play as wingers.

Today's goal and assist is a prime example.

You mean the player who's touch movement and vision set up the goal.

Yes, and can't hold the ball up anywhere as good as Alfredo.  One of the reasons that we didn't dominate second half.

[King Jela 20,338]

Looked hungry to impress when he came on. Excellent cameo. 

[Tiger Shaw 30,339]

Start him against St Mirren hopefully he grabs a goal and lifts his confidence and he comes onto a bit of form for the tarriers game, their big clumsy dumplings at the back won’t know how to deal with him.
