Johnsey 1,540 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I remember thinking Morelos had one of the worst first touches when he joined, would always miscontrol the ball. He scored goals though and you could tell there was a player there. His improvement has been quite remarkable, from the little flicks he now does to killing a tough pass and switching it out wide. I'm hoping Sakala can go through something similar as he does have these fleeting moments where he'll take a great touch on the turn. It's just his positional sense seems non-existent, be it getting caught offside or not knowing when to offer himself as a runner. I think for the time being he's a good option to bring on against tired legs. Roy Hobbs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos is one goal away from a century for us and Roofe has a 1 in 2 record and yet to lose a league game I'd say the hype is justified CharlieHamilton, BridgeIsBlue and graeme_4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I acknowledged that they have scored more goals, still doesn’t mean they are better players in the same way that nobody is arguing that somebody like Neil Mupay is a better player than say Harry Kane because he’s out scored him in the premier league so far this season. It’s the logic of a five year old to dumb it to down to “they’ve scored more goals this season so they must be better”. BridgeIsBlue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyBlue 2,278 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If we're pinning our hopes on the 17th top scorer in the Belgian league last season which is a league rated below ours...and that was his outstanding season...we're in a bad way. I love championing no-hopers but sorry, he'll have no impact on our fortunes. A Kilmarnockesque signing. Better we hope that Kent comes back fresh and in form, Roofe & Morelos discovers theirs and Wright gets more consistent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
