Siam69 26,915 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 He had a great game, so glad he's back, and that's what gets me so annoyed and frustrated when he gets himself needlessly suspended. An on form Morelos will see the league wrapped up much quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 The run when he missed his one on one was superb. Very intelligent link up play too. Not the most composed but if he was he’d be playing for PSG or somebody. Frustrating when he has his off days but when he’s anywhere near his best he’s different class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved his little dummy in the first half to Arfield as well. I’ll be having money on him scoring at Parkhead. Clever is the word, his game intelligence and ability to spot a pass is uncanny, the one where he smuggled the ball back to Aribo was understated quality, he could have had a lash at it and we might have got a corner, but his awareness to lay it off perfectly was as you say clever.

GA1972 9,556 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I thought that was one of the best games he’s played for Rangers. The best if we’re talking about all round play His attitude was spot on, he didn’t get involved in any needless stuff and pressed opponents effectively all night without giving them the easy way out of fouling them. Even the urgency he showed when we were lulling in the game I loved, taking quick throw ins rather than the usual waiting for the full back to come and take it for example. On the ball he was fantastic, played intelligently and unselfishly for the team with some lovely lay offs and one twos and a great bit of play and vision to get the ball to Aribo for the first goal. Felt in the first half with Aribo, Roofe and Arfield being a bit off it he was just lacking someone up there who was on the same wavelength but when we introduced Kent and Hagi to the game he got the support he needed. Getting across his man for the penalty as well was excellent. The only thing you could criticise was the one on one where he should’ve scored but I’m willing to let him off given how good the performance was. I love the guy, frustrates the life out of me as a player at times to the point where I’m his biggest critic. I’ve found myself wanting Itten to play ahead of him this season but if he carries himself in that manner and plays in that manner consistently we’ll be absolutely laughing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to his all round play I think he can be forgiven for those missed opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely he did well last night Roofe also passed up the chance when it came back to him as well we need our strikers to be getting them though as we would all like to see our strikers being more clinical.

That said, they both played well, albeit without scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An on form Morelos will see the league wrapped up much quicker. Spot on. There's some who have said he's been shite all season, others making various reasons/ excuses for his reduced impact this season. But for me last night was a goal away from everything I want from him. He was excellent. The old system where the full team worked to service him saw him excel with goals. The new system with him being much more a team contributor he absolutely smashed with 4 goal involvements. This is what he's capable of, it's what we need to see more consistently now as he becomes a more complete striker. He seems in the mood, our domestic and European opponents should be worried. As long as he's available he plays and I hope he scores the goal that win us 55 in a winner against the scum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised with Arfield with him only getting a few minutes in the last match to then start this one, however he didn't appear to be leggy IMO.

I'll ask you this question, the Buff through on the keeper doesn't score - bad miss, their player through on McGregor doesn't score - great save, not just last night I always find our forwards miss a chance and it's classed as should have done better, opposing teams get the same sort of chance and miss and it's classed by most as a great save by McGregor. In my eyes in these situations the chances are either both bad misses or both good saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 He actually shapes up really well to put the ball around the keeper and then he tries to come inside the keeper. Watch his goal against Young Boys. Very similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues 375 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I watched the Manu game last night. Rashford had three chances one on one with goalkeeper, he missed the first two then scored the third. Alf missed one chance but made the goalie save, apart from that his link up play etc was first class. I reckon he is getting better as an all round player.
