Interesting Gerrard said in his press conference re: Morleos -

“5 in 15 isn’t enough for me”

“I’d expect someone who’s played the majority of the minutes as a Rangers no. 9 to have more than 5 in 15.”

It’s enough for ForeverAndEver but, so it’s all good.

[bluenoz 30,836]

After tomorrow's game it will be 8 in 16 with his hat trick and he will be back to one goal every two games 😉

I can't accept it because McGregor made 1 mistake in the whole game, while Morelos made multiple. Don't think it is fair to point the finger at the goalie.

This, mcgregor made 3 other saves which in turn got us a point, morelos scores that 6 yard sitter and we coast the game out, the argument started because someone said morelos was instrumental in us dropping two points and people said no it was mcgregor

Honestly have no idea why some refuse to accept this.

Cause that's not how football works - a game is just about scoring more than the other team regardless how many they score so a striker not scoring causes the defeat just as much as a keeper not saving.

They both cost us the points. 

The sitter from Morelos was, in the end, as pivotal as Mcgregor's mistake.

Why can't it be both?

[DrLaudrup 4,606]

It is not just Morelos. It is the whole squad who are underperforming. If you look at the stats for the season overall, all the teams around us have forwards who are scoring more than us. Every team around us has midfielders who are scoring more than us. We are shipping more goals than we did last season. 

We are far below the levels we have set ourselves. It is correct to say only league position counts. This is true but i'd suggest given how poor we've been this season we are lucky to find ourselves at the top of the league. But the inconsistency of our rivals should have no bearing on the standards we set for ourselves and if we carry on with this level of performance and finishing going into the middle third of the season we won't stay there.

This is my thinking. Morelos could have had at least 2 but at the end of the day both contributed to throwing away the 3 points.

Doesn't happen too often with Greggs, just a shame it had to happen at 1-0.

Errors happen. It’s a bit like dodgy refereeing decisions. Take your chances and dodgy decisions, and individual errors don’t lose you points.

As do strikers missing chances.

Interested in your take on Gerrard’s comments yesterday?

I sit directly in line with that " sitter " and I've said on another thread that had Roofe played a better ball Morelos was getting a tap in - not having to stretch to make contact with the ball

I don't disagree. I'd like to see any Rangers number 9 score more than 1 in 3 too. Literally nobody disagrees Morelos isn't at his best just now - however that's something that can be said of virtually every single player at the club just now.

I'd like to see Rangers managers win more than 1 domestic trophy in every 9 too.

You trying to argue that it wasn't a sitter?

Fuck sake mate

I thought Roofe did well to get by the man and get the ball across. Morelos has made an arse of it, not him.

Now it’s Roofe at fault? Fucksakes mate. 

[bluenoz 30,836]

I thought he was outstanding in the first half. I disagree with Gerrard's reaction in the second half because of a few loose passes. That's what you will always get with Morelos. Roofe can do fuck all the entire match but score a tap-in and receive the accolades. Morelos is by far the better player.

I agree with that mate, 1st half he was playing well and unlucky not to score. 2nd half he fell away a bit and things got on top of him when he made a few mistakes.

I actually thought we has quite good last night.

An interesting conundrum . 

Mark Hateley is probably my favourite Rangers forward in my time with the way he could rag doll defences about , assist others like McCoist , and his general effort around the park . On the other hand we have natural goalscorers like McCoist and Boyd who provide the all important goals.  

Who's the most important , I truly don't know . But one does rely on the other . 

[graeme_4 34,520]

Good first half, poor second. Unlucky not to score. Although should be burying that header before the Roofe tap in.

What's the deal with Alfie tucking up one leg of his shorts?? I noticed the ref telling him to sort it out, which he didn't seem happy about

He tucks his magnum dong into the inseam of his shorts to stop it flopping out the bottom, mate.

Morelos scored the all important goal to get us playing midweek tbf to him

[SIRB_72 4,000]

The second half Alfie was treating the ball like a hot potato which was pretty frustrating. However, he keeps getting into positions and getting chances. History has shown us that he'll put them away eventually.

He and Roofe have a great partnership for me. Alfie does enough during the game to worry the opposition enough that it gives Roofe space and one on ones were his anticipation gets us goals. The second last night was a good example.

Roofe will score the goals when they two play together and Alfie will start getting them when he's playing up top himself. Then we have 3/4 midfielders along with Tav who can contribute 1 in 3.
