For all it’s worth I think Roofe’s a better finisher than Morelos, gets in great positions and is much more composed. It’s the physical presence Morelos brings that’ll be missed the most. Plus I think Roofe plays better when someones up there with him. 

[Johnsey 1,540]

Morelos is a huge loss, no doubt about it but we have quality throughout the squad. It's up to GvB to bring that quality out on the pitch.

Morelos will leave eventually so we have to be able to win games without him. 

[STEPPS BOY 75,034]

Limped about for 2-3 weeks and we allow him to go away with his country and now away to see a specialist.

That mob pull out Rogic and Maeda as injured yet they’re available this weekend.

This sums up the difference in both clubs attitude and management this season.

See the contributed shit annoys the fuck out of me. That's Americanism at its best. 

Show me hard facts with goals alone then we can talk

If you want to put it down to pure facts 

Roofe has a goal every 120 minutes, Alfie has one for every 170 minutes this season! 
 

im not a massive fan of Roofe but it’s madness to think we don’t have enough to beat them without Alfie!

I think you've gone too far the other way in making your point. That part I highlighted suggests he doesn't have anything to offer apart from effort, so no pace, power, skill, heart etc etc. He has lots of these qualities, lots of potential. He does make errors as we know but you've taken that too far.

When I say a big unit, I mean a big strong athlete - not like the way Lee Wilkie was a big unit - and can’t question his heart / effort.

Bassey is a decent fullback, but he’s pish poor in the air and not great technically. He’s got potential - but look at his stats vs Tav for example. Night and day.

This is it, Morelos absolutely bullies defenders where as Roofe tries to evade them.

No Alfredo I'm afraid the title is gone in my eyes. We have literally no goal threat from anywhere else on the park and I cant see us winning both games against them. Hope I'm wrong but I cant see it. 

Roofe, Goldson & Kent have all scored as many goals against them as Alf has.

Several others have singles.

We’ve won in the past without goals from Alf & we can do it again.

Edit - forgotten man Davis has 3 v them!

Although I’m not sure what his chances of featuring are!

[Valance1690 3,947]

Crazy how we've ended up in this situation, Gio and his team have to take some blame for Morelos but overall its been our form since he came in that's fucked us

Going into Sunday now expecting  the worst, Roofe just isn't good enough to play upfront himself

Roofe or anybody else at striker couldn’t lace Morelos’ boots. He’s miles ahead.

We can still beat them, but it’s a huge blow.

Tbf u can't expect him not to travel for his country when we have willingly played him while injured

Season finished in a couple of weeks then....

Not disputing that in the slightest mate! He’s a massive loss but we’ve still got enough!

Season's nowhere near finished ffs, bunch of clowns.

This Bassey chat is mental. He’s an OK big unit who tries hard, nothing more. Has a howling individual error more than just about any other of our regular 11.

Barisic has been there and done it in multiple OF games, and gets a much harder time than most.

That said, Bassey has the jersey and should start. 

So you're saying Bassey shouldn't be playing

So you're saying Barasic should be playing 

oh no you're saying Bassey should be playing 

[Jelavic18 642]

Absolutely gutted and no doubt puts us at a disadvantage for the next few games.  We can't afford to dwell on it, hope Gio has a plan for Sunday and time for other players to stand up and show they have what it takes to play for Rangers.

Of course it is

[stuart1994 4,380]

I still think we can win on Sunday’s it’s a bastard of a blow, but still think the most important thing about Sunday will be getting the Midfield right.

Contributed? Those 4 players have scored 38 goals this season. Roofe - 12, Tav - 11, Sakala - 8 and Aribo - 7.

Their lies the problem. We have relied on players to score goals in wee patches. Noticed their was no Kent, Lundstram either. Outside Morelos we struggle to score and no one will tell me otherwise. 

Sunday I can see us having loads of chances falling to those players and losing the game

[Clemdog 39,389]

I literally have no idea how we should line-up now. 

[AGC123 1,231]

Let’s hope he’s fit in time for the Atalanta game 😅

I’m not expecting him to do anything, i’m expecting our manager and extended management to put Rangers first ahead of a gigantic month.

When Morelos limped off in Belgrade it should have been last he was seen until training resumed this week.

Now, i don’t think we’ll see him in a Rangers top again.

[WilliamMunny 3,276]

It's a huge blow losing Morelos but cunts chucking it need to get a fucking grip

The sad part is alfie has scored more goals against them than kent has all season. And that's a very very pathetic stat for a guy who cost us 7 fucking mlllion
