Rangers Banter Archive October 01 2018

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


01 Oct 2018 20:32:13
Disappointed with yesterday result but as my father told you can't win every game because if we did not one would bother turning up.



01 Oct 2018 19:52:00
Just to say Dave King is back in court on Wednesday. Not sure if it's with Ashley or the takeover panel.



02 Oct 2018 18:32:56
Return iom king not back in court. It’s top who r in court to determine if they have a case against king.



02 Oct 2018 20:11:18
Just checking mull are you a witness for the prosecution by any chance 😂.



01 Oct 2018 19:20:59
Thursday night huge for us, key for me is Barasic getting up and serving whoever can play in place of our numpty strikers who should be available.



01 Oct 2018 19:51:24
I agree 100%.



01 Oct 2018 22:14:05
I am confused, both numpty strikers should be available no? It's the league cup we are struggling for strikers.



01 Oct 2018 23:40:46
Morelos and lafferty are available.



02 Oct 2018 06:25:57
Only one numpty here eh gh1872? Oh sorry, two, eh shauny?



02 Oct 2018 06:51:36
Long week already wrong tourney but still pissed aff with Morelos for his temperament. Main point Barasic’s service is bloody great.



02 Oct 2018 08:23:08
GH1872

Thought his service on Sunday was appalling.



02 Oct 2018 17:23:28
Arthur I would agree never put a decent ball in all game and in the first half he didn’t seem to want to overlap at all. the jury is still out on him if you ask me.



02 Oct 2018 20:12:26
Shaun, how can you agree with misinformation? Stick with me . I will see you right . strikers missing for Aberdeen in cup 👍🐏.



02 Oct 2018 20:17:20
We should have a full squad apart from jack.



01 Oct 2018 18:57:22
Think we should stick to 433 . wouldn't play Lafferty on wing either main striker if he plays so probably fight the position out with Morelos. if all fit I'd like to see McGregor, tavernier, goldson, barisic, jack, coulibaly, ejaria, Kent, Morelos, grezda.



01 Oct 2018 19:23:26
One short probably Katic.



01 Oct 2018 19:38:04
Ejaria wouldn't be in my side.



01 Oct 2018 20:02:32
Jack is still injured.



01 Oct 2018 20:39:54
Ryan kent would certainly be in my team!



01 Oct 2018 20:54:23
Not sure about Grezda starting as he hasn’t played a lot of football recently. Hope that Dorrans can’t find at least a place on the bench hopefully no Worrall either truly shocking player.



01 Oct 2018 22:03:18
What about Arfield, Kent and Katic?



02 Oct 2018 06:28:53
Sorry guys katic would be in and airfield and ejaria would be a close call, jack when fit was just thinking what best team would be if all available. Grezda when up to speed surely better than candeias I hope.



02 Oct 2018 06:45:25
Beginning to now look very much like ryan kent, is the most creative player we have at rangers!



02 Oct 2018 08:50:19
Bgate w You’re that confident we can win with ten players?



02 Oct 2018 14:18:37
Artfield before ejaria anyday of the week.



01 Oct 2018 17:18:42
Absolutely shocking yesterday, don't want to hear any excususes.11 v 11 and ours cost millions and get paid millions, i'm worried already.



01 Oct 2018 19:14:12
Add katic to that team.



01 Oct 2018 16:11:32
I couldn't believe it til I read it people saying Stevie g should go. He's not experienced.

This is the most hype around our team in years. They actually care.

If u watched the game on tv. U can see the teams negativity comes from the start with all the bad passes caused by the pitch and then it just grows on each other.

Livingstone tactic looks like they flood an astroturf pitch if you look at both sides of the game we were sliding and falling down, livi weren't. Could have been boot selection as livi would all wear gastro turf boots with extra grip.

But on a positive from yesterday. Read that Vienna sacked their manager and will be coming to Glasgow with just backroom coaches. as they want to appoint the right manager they will take their time. Which sounds like they are giving up on Europe already.



01 Oct 2018 17:30:07
Rangers should give up on Europe aswell. 6th in the league is pathetic.



01 Oct 2018 17:35:30
Away you go yeh cracker! How could they give up on Europe if they won their opening game Haha.



01 Oct 2018 19:07:59
ffs we lost on sunday its about how we now react and bounce back.



01 Oct 2018 20:44:43
For the life of me, i just can't believe that some of our supporters, want rid of steven gerrard! What planet are these characters on? Our manager has already improved us big style and this remember, is only the start, of his rebuilding of rangers!
We will only get better and better,
under stevie G! He most certainly knows what it takes, to make us top dogs in scotland, once again! He will achieve it IMHO!



01 Oct 2018 20:58:05
Who is wanting rid of Gerard not seen anyone on here wanting him to go. He has done a great job to get us into the Europa league group stages however it is a bit concerning that both Livingston and Motherwell have bullied us and Celtic beat us so easily. Let’s hope he can get it right and get us back to the top.



01 Oct 2018 22:10:05
I've read on twitter etc, that some rangers supporters don't think gerrard has any tactical nous and want him out the job! I can assure you, bindo some supporters have indeed said this!



02 Oct 2018 00:14:29
Kaz mania, we didn't win our opening game mate.



02 Oct 2018 07:35:31
Just saw post above kaz, my bad mate 👍.



02 Oct 2018 20:13:26
Aye Celtic supporters. behave.



02 Oct 2018 20:18:59
Supercooper your spot on, Stevie must be given to the end of his second season then we can see if he is of managerial potential. Personally I think we will have a better opinion of him end of this season tho.



01 Oct 2018 16:05:03
Looking at the whole situation so far on a game that is so results driven and I have to admit if we weren't in the Europa proper then I have to say the picture would look so bleak for Mr Gerrard!

Definately an improvement from last year as we are in the Semi Finals so far in the League Cup and in Europe The league itself doesn't paint a good picture at all!

We need to be picking up 3 points on the road more often than not and it's been a bitter disappointment so far

C'mon Rangers get the finger out the arse!



01 Oct 2018 18:11:32
Lets see where we are in the league Xmas time. Yes yesterday was bad, so was the C*ltic game. Unbeaten at ibrox, unbeaten in Europe. Think we're much better off than last year.



01 Oct 2018 19:23:17
Poor result yesterday but any winning run of games starting this weekend and we're well in the mix.



01 Oct 2018 15:15:07
Have just been in contact with the gers official shopping online about my tops n they tell me they're being sold by a third party and that they don't have a contact no for them that is pure bull. i know it and they know its the fat man that must be dealing with thèm which also means he's probably the one getting the extra 10 on top of the sale price - am raging guys.



01 Oct 2018 15:28:32
Pure bull?

Why would they lie to you?



01 Oct 2018 15:36:45
DG, stop talking pish!



01 Oct 2018 16:12:28
Where are the strips?

Why sell merchandise through the club website when you obviously don’t have the stock?

It’s not good enough.



01 Oct 2018 17:00:24
If you go into jd stores there selling home kit and training kit and wad told they have tbe rights to strips and that the fat man doesn't have any rights so your information is wrong and was told away kit will be in shops middle of October.



01 Oct 2018 17:03:48
Go to jds stores they are on sale there.



02 Oct 2018 08:32:20
I was on holiday start of September and their was something about the shareholders of SD turning against Ashley blocking the house of fraser move removing him as a director and another director quit. To do with Ashley and his public disgraced can't find anything online but did anything actually come from that? I've done a search on Google and found nothing.



02 Oct 2018 08:34:01
Surely they must have ther number then and why they no tell me who the 3rd party is n am no talking bull why the fèck would a say that if they didney tell me that man.



01 Oct 2018 14:03:24
Has anyone who ordered the rangers top online received it yet I ordered it on the 21st and still waiting I wish they had said it would be in the shops cheaper a few days later away on holiday was hoping to have it by then feel we have been took for granted again fooking raging.



01 Oct 2018 18:43:36
3 strips arrived this morning ordered Friday they came out. I was order no 4300 odd what number were you.



01 Oct 2018 22:01:10
Good to hear C. f. bear. Order number 5155 so hopefully tomorrow.



02 Oct 2018 08:35:45
As i said mate they wouldn't give me the 3rd partys contact number i wandey why man.



01 Oct 2018 12:50:03
If anybody genuinely believed Gerrard was going to come in and and blow every team out of the water in his first few months then you are delusional.

Yesterday's performance was shocking I agree, but let's look at the bigger picture here - a new manager will always take time to settle his side, even the best managers at the best clubs in the world stutter while finding their feet.

Gerrard was always going to lose games and for that reason I am shocked we are undefeated in Europe after 9 games.

There will be a few more bumps in the road but people need to give the man time, we cannot keep going through managers or we will make no long term progress.



01 Oct 2018 13:49:14
Totally agree Bearmode, I think most are just frustrated because Celtic have been so poor but we all really need to focus on us, we have a solid foundation to build on, good players who performed poorly yesterday and who need to be consistently better but we are a least a couple of quality players short, players who can grab a game like that by the scruff of the neck and who are expensive unfortunately.



01 Oct 2018 14:23:06
Problem is we all like being delusional After 2 big wins we all want to believe the good times are coming back. Its got a name let's call it FAN derived from fanatic. Can't help it never going to change we all want to believe and 1 terrible performance ain't going to stop me.



01 Oct 2018 15:23:22
I agree BearMode. but I keep saying and believe we the support and the media have overhyped Stevie, and this is the reason we feel so much hurt when the team don't perform to our expectations.



01 Oct 2018 15:23:12
@bearmode91 - that’s far too sensible a post for a Monday when you have the usual suspects on bumping their gums about Gerrards tactics, Morelos, Tav etc.
The same fans who will be creaming their pants when we horse Rapid on Thursday and the Jambos on Sunday.
This over reaction to every game does my head in!



01 Oct 2018 15:36:30
Have to agree bearmode, he said when he signed that there would be bumps along the way, new manager, new team, it takes time, I know that a lot of fans want instant success, but two defeats in eighteen games is a steady start, I honestly think that he still doesn't know his best formation, but its a big improvement on last season as far as style of football is concerned. Its frustrating when the tic are struggling and getting bad write ups, but who could have predicted the start of the season that some of the other clubs are having? We will get there!



01 Oct 2018 16:05:21
Excellent post. He wasn't brought in to win the league first season either, just to close the gap and build us up have us competing in europe. And he's doing that.



01 Oct 2018 18:22:22
A few points, I have been a Fan for over fifty years and like most of us believe we should win every game. we won't no one does.
Regardless of who beats us it’s heartbreaking, this club is a big part in most of our lives
How the team bounces back and responds is the important issue, so far after a poor display response has been good
This is clearly a work in progress, though not perfect there is a good foundation to build on. Our success in Europe will help build the team next year
We are remarkably lucky to have Steve and Gary etc as the management team, they will attract a higher standard of player to help improve the team
The players we have are the players we’ve got, they are pulling on Rfc jerseys and should receive our full support while they are with the club
We have only lost two games for a new young team that is not too bad. I for one can see the signs of real progress from the past few years
We as supporters of the greatest team in the world should never condone and should do all we can to prevent the coin throwing or similar issues. This is a club with a proud past which should not be tarnished.
Rant over sorry c'mon the gers.



01 Oct 2018 20:07:17
Surely though we should be doing better against teams like Livingston? Kelly and Halkett were considered not good enough for us but they had an easy a day and looked so comfortable. Livingston didn’t have the luxury of spending millions of pounds on players but they totally outplayed us from start to finish in fact they might be annoyed they didn’t win by more.



01 Oct 2018 22:27:32
I totally agree that nobody should be talking about SG getting the boot, that's just silly, we have definitely improved since last season and hats off to him getting us into group stages. My problem is that he does rotate too much, of course you need to keep players fresh IF they are fatigued but we aren't even a quarter of the way through the season yet, I think he has to find what he believes is his best possible 11 and go with it for a run of games. Changing 1 or 2 here and there is alright but the only way to strike up good partnerships is having players playing together all the time, he changes 3,4,5 players at a time and that surely brings no continuity to the team. He definitely knows what he's doing but I feel he is over thinking things at times. I dare say a win on Thursday and Sunday and we will be world beaters again, worral is mince.



02 Oct 2018 08:46:16
Bluenose good post. We have to ride the storm. We r progressing the right way
Europe
Money
On pitch
Retail
Management team.



02 Oct 2018 20:14:24
Correction two defeats is not a steady start . but for me a remarkable start . right behind you Stevie.



Premier League Preview Bournemouth v Crystal Palace 1 October 2018

01 Oct 2018 10:43:32
{Ed's Note - Reid the Red has posted a new article entitled, Premier League Preview Bournemouth v Crystal Palace 1 October 2018



01 Oct 2018 09:39:48
SG should sit the players down this week and make them watch that pathetic performance yesterday over and over again. It was completely unacceptable. Taking Europe out the equation, 3 wins out of 7 and sitting in the bottom half of the league is a disgrace.



01 Oct 2018 10:44:12
You can’t take Europe out of it! Yesterday was a bad performance pure and simple. Still think if we finish above Celtic we will win the league and we are only 2points behind them imho hearts will fall away.



01 Oct 2018 12:16:59
He needs to stop thinking about Europe and make the league the pirorty. Rangers ain't doing anything in the Europa league yet he is prioritising it.



01 Oct 2018 14:50:00
How can you say that he is prioritising the Europa League?

Starting XI vs Villarreal
McGregor Tav Goldson Worrall Barisic Coulibaly Halliday Arfield Candeias Kent Lafferty

Starting XI vs livingston
McGregor Tav Goldson Worrall Barisic Coulibaly Ejaria Arfield Candeias Lafferty Morelos.

There is only 2 changes between those to teams and Morelos would have played against Villarreal had he not been suspended, possibly Ejaria too if not injured at the time. I fail to see how that is SG prioritising the Europa League over the League?



01 Oct 2018 15:22:12
Correct 36.



01 Oct 2018 16:08:43
For me Gerrard is making too many drastic changes He's the manager and knows best but I reckon it should only be a couple of changes here and there as you start to mess about with the system otherwise

Come the end of the season I reckon we will draw too many games that could've been wins.



01 Oct 2018 09:17:14
now before all the haters comment, i have been a bluenose for almost 40 years so not a celtic fan pretending to be a gers fan on here to get a reaction

everyone including myself was excited by the SG appointment but let's be realistic here and ask has it really been a success so far?

obviously Europa league qualification is a great bonus but the league is our bread and butter and quite frankly can anyone be happy

apart from the St johnstone game what have we actually done? beat a very very poor dundee side, a st mirren side who have scored since august.

4 away games, 0 wins, 2 defeats and 2 draws

im sorry but this isn't good enough. Now we can all point at the Alfredo red card at aberdeen costing us the points ( and probably rightly so ) but the motherwell game was our own fault, the performance at the piggery was woeful and yesterday at the mighty Livingston was a disgrace. Plastic pitch is no excuse as they train on these daily at Auchenhowie

if this had been Pedro, warburton or even Ally then fans when would be in an uproar and asking for the sack

the fact that the manky lot are a shambles this season and are still above us and have still beaten us makes this even worse as we had a great chance to go and finally hit 55

there is not a chance we will win the league this season and sadly if our away form doesn't change then we won't finish 2nd

we have a better quality of palyer but sadly something isn't quite right and i think its ( unfortunatly ) SG lack of experience and believe the job is too big for him this early in career.



01 Oct 2018 10:37:28
So are you actually in a lot of words saying sack SG now?

Aberdeen away, very unlucky.
Kilmarnock away, good result (league cup)
Motherwell away, unlucky, lack on concentration
Celtic away, caught in headlights, and celtic played there best football of the season.
Livingston away, we were shocking, agree
Didnt over react when we were winning won't over react when we get beat.
Remember no one expected hearts to go on this type of run. Take them down to say 14 points and we would only be 3 short of top spot. Even without that we are only 3 points off of second.
Calm.



01 Oct 2018 10:47:07
What aload of nonsense! We are in the group stages of the Europa League, semi final of league cup and Gerrard has only been here for a few months and had 1 transfer window give the guy a chance fs.



01 Oct 2018 11:15:22
I never expected us to win the league and neither should anyone else have. I also never expected European football past August. So, in that regard SG has already surpassed one of my expextations. As for the former, you really need to get out of this short-term mindset. I expect the players and SG to grow and learn as the season goes on and to secure 2nd place. Then, I hope that next season the experience gained from this year allows us to make a proper fist of a title challenge. I think this is quite a reasonable mindset so perhaps you should adopt it too.



01 Oct 2018 12:00:22
A very well thought out and reasonable post so72. I just don't get this knee jerk reaction after every bad result. It would be different if there had been no improvement but quite clearly, as you highlighted very well, that is not the case.



01 Oct 2018 12:18:17
Motherwell wasn't unlucky. Rangers never got out their own half in the 2nd half of the Motherwell game.



01 Oct 2018 12:27:09
firstly i should have stated that no i do not expect SG to be sacked and i did not expect us to win the league this year. i am purely highlighting the fact that if this had been anyone else the vast majority of our fans would be calling for the manager to be sacked. If this had been our league form over last 2 season we would be 10 points behind celtic at this. do you think that's acceptable after 7 games? we are just lucky they have been poor but that won't last the whole season and sadly they are going to pull away

As i said Europa league is a bonus but it shouldn't detract from our terrible league form

Finty as i said the aberdeen game was unlucky, motherwell we poor it wasnt unlucky

36th Ulster your point on Europa league is moot and semi final of league cup isn't a great acheivement when you look at it as 2 games, 1 of which against a championship team ( yes the killie game was good )

my point about Gerrard and the job being too big too soon is down the tinkering with line up and not having the tactical experience to change things

he makes too many changes to line ups every game ( some enforced ) but why make the changes he did yesterday knowing how well Livi have been playing. try keep a settles side and let them gel and flow.



01 Oct 2018 12:33:16
Hahahahahahahaha unbeaten in Europe after 9 games and he's to go already.

I knew this was coming after yesterdays performance, utterly pathetic and beyond fickle.



01 Oct 2018 12:47:59
SG is a fantastic signing and I think he will get it right. However he needs to start games playing to our strengths. Back 4, 3 in midfield, 2 wingers and someone through the middle.

He changed the tactics for both Livingston and Motherwell and it has cost us points. Against smaller teams we need the first goal and we need to set the tempo right from the off. We were far too slow yesterday and didn’t win a second ball.



01 Oct 2018 12:53:47
Jbf500

It's a reality check which I think we all need from time to time. I've said before on here it will be these games that are the differences between winning the league and not.

To me we have a stronger squad than last year that will challenge for the league. Europa League qualification. but the biggest thing is I other than Motherwell and livi yesterday am back enjoying and looking forwards to watching our team play. We are forgetting where we have come from.

its a new team SG is a new manager who will get some games wrong and all teams will play their cup final against us. We're playing 2 games a week. But I think we shake it off get behind SG and our team and start talking about Thursday.

🇬🇧.



01 Oct 2018 13:02:53
We have lost only twice in 18 with a new side and players and a manager who do not know the league. They are finding out that any team in Scotland that we come up against try so hard to beat us. That fact will never change and the new well played players have to understand that the livingstones and motherwells of this world with so called lesser players will fight like there is no tomorrow against them so anything less than 100% won’t do.

Whether we win the league or not I don’t know at the mo however the league is more open than it has ever been so teams will beat each other through out the season it’s just a winning run that we need to catch up with those above then sustain the performances, digging in when required.

SG is doing a great job and will get us back where we belong.



01 Oct 2018 13:57:00
I'm not sure if this jbf500 person is entirely sane.



01 Oct 2018 15:02:45
Hearts odds got slashed from 40-1 to 16-1 over the weekend. Fingers crossed we can change that again this coming weekend.



01 Oct 2018 15:07:43
Jb, you are right but expect numerous disagrees on your post.
I have already said previously that I think we and the media have over hyped Stevie. Although it's early in the season it looked like we had a great start with him compared to the last lot of managers.

If it's true that he has warned in the papers that the players have to sort it out, this has taken me by surprise as he has to remember it's HIS and the COACHES job to sort it and the players out.
If things don't improve in the next few SPFL games I feel you will have been justified 100% with your post.



01 Oct 2018 17:24:01
Jeez guys n girls we need to calm doon pedro got us put out of the europa league at the start of july last year and kept his job till the end of october so now rangers loose to livingston now there's people calling for steven gerrard to go

Absolute nonsense at the start of the season everybody was happy to close the gap on celtic but now we've done well in europe were expected to win the league

Lets just back the manager and his team.



01 Oct 2018 17:44:19
Pedro and Ally embarrassed us in Europe. Warburton never got that far. Its wrong then to compare our reaction to their failure in the league to Stevie's slow start.



02 Oct 2018 18:56:51
jbf500 just out of interest who do you think should be our manager then?



01 Oct 2018 08:16:59
I've always believed you should play your strongest, in-from 11 and the depth of a squad is there in the event of injuries, suspensions and loss of form. This tinkering won't work. Why Katic wasn't playing is a mystery. Kent and Middleton have been very good recently yet didn't start either. The reality of the SPL table is that apart from Hearts, teams are dropping points. Only three points separate 2nd from 6th with the sheep behind us. Plastic pitches have no place in senior football and the SFA must do something about this. Not an excuse, but clearly these pitches are a leveller. Rant over but still excited about the start SG has made.



01 Oct 2018 08:48:36
Didn't see the match but can't believe we lost to Livingston. I thought we were on the up and had the quality of player to win this league. I can't imagine a single Livingston player would make our team, never mind bench. Yeah I know of Berwick Rangers and 1967 and all of that and football's football but surely we all predicted a win yesterday?



01 Oct 2018 08:56:26
Wish people would stop blaming plastic pitches. The Livingston players didn’t seem to have any issues playing football on it, passing, tackling and creating chances and our best away performance was on the plastic pitch at KIlmarnock. It doesn’t look like they are going away anytime soon so we are stuck with them and constantly moaning about them is becoming tiresome.



01 Oct 2018 09:08:26
It should be borne in mind that Livingston have beaten Hibs already and drew 0-0 away with Hearts. Clearly they are hard to beat but I agree we should have beaten them given our recent run of form.



01 Oct 2018 10:42:57
DOIGER I agree with Livi being hard to beat and credit must go to them for playing in a way that suits them but to watch our attacking player be completely devoid of ideas was hard to take.
I’ve said it before that we lack penetration from a central area. We are too predictable and other teams know we will try and throw in crosses.



01 Oct 2018 11:54:13
It was just one of those days. Write it off and move on.



01 Oct 2018 12:38:25
The problem we have is we want results now which is acceptable we need to be a little bit patient we are new squad and it will get better there’s going to be a few blips on the way this time next year is time to judge the squad is young there will be new personal by then and year wiser.



01 Oct 2018 07:47:31
Just another quick one folks. If I was SG, I would cancel training and replay the entire footage of this game to the team. It would make them ALL sit up and realise how bad this team effort was yesterday. Again, it points out, quite clearly, what we lack in our play. Hope it gets addressed soon before we fall any further behind Hearts. We ARE the people!



01 Oct 2018 15:03:34
Individual footage for each individual player gets shown so yes they will all see it.



01 Oct 2018 07:28:51
Has anyone noticed that Alfredo is having to fall back in search of the ball more these days? While i'm quite imoressed with the playmaker style in his play, it's starting to show the cracks in our game plans. Lafferty and Tavernier were pretty non existant but what do I know guys. SG must know what he needs to resolve this and I'm srill behind him 100%. C'mon the Rangers.

Tavernier isn’t captain material and this was shown yesterday when you think of some of the great captains we have had in the past. Players that could get the best out of underperforming players on the park. Tavernier like the rest of them seemed to except early on that it wasn’t our day.

The surface did have an effect on the way we played but we should be use to this by now. Personally, I think we've got too many defensive/ holding midfielders and not enough attack minded options. Taking NOTHING away from Livingston because they played their game well. There was no straightforward attacking yesterday, which I feel SG needs to address soon.

It’s worrying that both Livingston and Motherwell exposed just how weak we are with direct football. Both teams were physically stronger and seemed more determined to want to win the game. I thought Gerrard would have sorted this out but apparently not.

Not going to go over old ground regarding the boy sadiq, but today just proves that we need a different striking option in January! Lafferty and morelos (both of whom I rate) just don't hold the ball with their back to goal as was needed today, someone to take it in and play off of.

What game were you watching? Numerous times Morelos held ball up only to give it to Ejaria for him to take his customery 10 touches before losing his footing on the dodgy Livingston surface.

While I’m not going to blame the surface for the result, it did have an effect on a few players at various points in the match.

That being said, Lafferty was non existent yesterday. Delivery into box was poor and our players seem scared to have a strike from outside the area.

Too many players had an off day yesterday and that I think was the problem. An off day.

We played far better earlier in season and still dropped points. We’ll be better next week.

Have to say that’s the only part of Morelos’ game that I think he is great at! Back to goal showing strength and retaining possession. Where he is short is remaining onside to keep attacking momentum and descision making in front of goal. Still a bargain for the £1M paid but really he should be looking for 25 a season with the chances that come his way.

That said, we created nothing yesterday so I don’t think we can lay the blame with Morelos!

No he retains the ball well on the run he doesn't hold it in and let people go beyond him totally different! Livi backline was very deep he should have been up against the center back back to goal and allowing our full team to push higher up the park, too often he's forced wide into dead ends with his hold up play.
