6superbarry6 14,266 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Is there any way we can accommodate both in the starting 11? With right forward still looking like a problem position I’m wondering if Morelos could be the answer there, could we potentially play Morelos as a narrow 10 coming off the right which would leave Tav to provide the width down that side, Morelos often drops deep anyway and his link up play is pretty good, think Gio used Dirk Kuyt pretty similarly at Feyenoord as well so could be an option.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 They could play together in a 3-5-2, but then you’re struggling to get Kent into that team. Not to mention the fact we can barely find two CBs to play, never mind a third. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 84,028 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Nah, as much as I would love Morelos to be available he would be blowing out his arse after about 15 minutes CR3, REM 1690 and Blue Viking 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of having two holding midfielders have the likes of Lawrence in beside Lundstram for an extra attacking threat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but Scott Wright started that match on the RW id like more quality in that position and Matondo looks very raw, it’s ridiculous how short in quality options we are in that position tbh. Ideal scenario is we sign a proper no8 which frees up Lawrence to play on of the wide attacking roles but time is running out to get someone in.

DrLaudrup 4,864 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Frankly Morelos needs to get himself back the side before we start asking if he can play with Colak. Colak is bang on form and isn’t being dropped now, as much as Morelos has been amazing for us. I think there are occasions where 2 up can work for us but I always think without a solid right winger it’s not the best set up. 6superbarry6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Hadji Spit RFC 733 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I don’t think Morelos would like it but I think he could be a great no10 type player. Colak as the poacher could work, definitely maybe… 6superbarry6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 4,086 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Not for tomorrow but you can defo have the two play together in the future just as a front two like we did with Roofe and Morelos two years ago! 6superbarry6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross-Gazza genius 1,933 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 To accommodate this we would need to line up similar to this: Mclaughlin Sands Goldson King Tav Kent Lundstram Kamara Tillman Morelos Colak Not sure I'd risk something like this in an old firm game. 6superbarry6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,388 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 King spot on here: "We got him for £1million or so. We could sell him for X and make a profit but as Steven and I discussed, in football there is no such thing as a profit. It’s a swapping of cash flows. If I spend a million on a player, sell him for £20million and replace him for £30million, I’m minus £10million cash. It doesn’t matter what I originally paid for the player. It’s what it costs to replace him. Our view was always, cash for cash, what will we get and what will it cost to replace him? Who are you going to bring in? Some of these guys don’t fit into Scottish football so our view was always that we need a premium on what we get for Alfredo to reinvest in someone to replace him. We never, ever got a value that we thought was worth more than keeping him" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,475 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 We used to play roofe and Morelos up top with Kent sitting behind in a free role during 55. Width came from fullbacks. Similar set could be used again with Kent and Tillman swapping the free role. Something like this: McLaughlin Tav Goldson Davies Barasic Lundstram Lawrence Kamara Kent or Tillman Morelos Colak Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh that was his best contribution. I'm done with him. We've had little return from him. He needs to be at a club who don't expect anything...thats where he'll likely perform as the pressure isn't there. crazy bob swollenbaws 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
