If Sakala can't even warrant a sub appearance may aswell just sell him just now! dont try and put words in my mouth i didnt say such a thing i merely pointed out an observation about the ref against most other refs ive seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s Morelos or Roofe we are so reliant on the number 9 scoring our goals. I said it before the game, where are goals coming from in that starting line up. The front 4 are basically there to score our goals. Hagi and Wright haven’t scored in two months, Aribo 2 goals and Morelos off form. That doesn’t make a successful team just like it didn’t in 2018 and 2019 when we had this kind of form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 34,990 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Quarter of the season gone and we’re in a title scrap with cunts that got promotion and the worst tarrier team since the early 90s. That’s genuinely pathetic on all counts. We’ve got away with it for the majority of the season but it’s coming far too frequently now.  Nothing will change though, ball out wide when you’re shitting yourself and the full back will whip it in. Yet again Lundstrum the only player wanting to play a forward pass through the middle Leftpegcoopz11, Carnbroe Bear, Bristoe1872 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leftpegcoopz11 4,582 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 3 minutes ago, STEPPS BOY said: Never said he was shite but what is his role in team? is he another Kamara or Lundstram or is he the creator or attacking midfielder? 2 goals this season - how does that compare to Turnbul etc at them? Dropping Morelos for Roofe solves fuck all as then relying on Roofe to score as no-one else consistently capable. Ask Gerrard what his role in the team is mate. He's been more consistent than many this season. I think he's wasted deep Midfield. So either behind the fwds or right wing. Roofe couldn't be anymore inconsistent than Morelos. Whilst his "new role" means he's meant to create more space for others, it doesn't work. He's went from a relatively consistent goalscorer to being average at best. He's regressing in that role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when Kent isn't "on it" he offers something at least. Aribo and Lundstram best two players on the park today, but Gerrard Takes the one guy that can hold a ball up off and puts Bacuna on Taking Aribo off was mental as he was having a decent game, Morelos had just fucked another chance prior to the substitutions....surely you swap him for Roofe as it was blatantly obvious when Morelos is like that he is worse than a man down....the fact he was still on to squander the chance created by Roofe sums up his abject performance Teamgers, Bad Robot and Leftpegcoopz11 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,433 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Morelos has been nowhere near good enough since around January 2020 other than a good month I remember early 2021 I think it was. He's lost all the attributes which made him great in his first few seasons and the only thing he does well now is drop deep and ping the ball out to the other side of the pitch, which half of the time is totally unnecessary anyway Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunglasses Ron 2,429 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I thought that was the best we’ve played all season at times but that means nothing unless we put these teams to the sword.

Our game management is shocking at times, and not just by the players. Leftpegcoopz11, Rambo1872 and Bristoe1872 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues 375 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Aribo is our best player just now. He is direct and shows plenty energy and creates good chances. Tav and Alf need some bench time. McGregor made a mistake but he kept us ahead for a long time and made some great saves Get Itten back….scoring in German league and playing for one of the highest ranked international teams in Europe. Dropped and loaned out after one game(Malmö away) when the rest of the team didn’t turn up. PGWoodwind, Bristoe1872 and falkirkNS 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
