So apparently this is what Gerrard had said after tonight's game

Everyone knows Alfredo (Morelos) has had his head turned, " Gerrard told BT Sport in his post-match interview. "There is no denying that. We just move forward and my focus is on the team and the players that want to be here.

If that's Gerrard now saying this surely he can't play going forward until his head is in the game
Or he moves on?



07 Aug 2020 10:41:36
No matter how many fit strikers we had if fredo head has been turned SG shouldn’t have played him and it’s that simple SG was wrong to pick him.



07 Aug 2020 10:50:16
I agree kja should have been left with the youth.



06 Aug 2020 21:45:51
Didn't see Gerrard speak after the game

It is it true what's being reported.?

Gerrard said everyone knows Morelos has had his head turned? And he's only interested in players who are happy at the club?

Surely he didn't say this and it's paper trash?

If he thought that why pick him?

Only for striker or not

Could have played Kent up front or Stewart
And dropped Morelos if that is what he thinks?

I know we all speculate but to have Gerrard come out publicly and say it

He should be dropped ASAP in my opinion now

Can someone enlighten me as to what was really said ?



06 Aug 2020 22:07:18
If you rhead the phapers and thake it as ghospel there's no hope for you i'm afraid



06 Aug 2020 22:11:28
That’s why I asked the question

If anyone heard Gerrard speak as I missed it?

I’m assuming by your response sir Walter you heard him speak and as I said In my post if you read it properly I said this must be paper trash?



06 Aug 2020 22:11:29
You can't really justify playing him in this form.



06 Aug 2020 22:36:05
Gerrard said Morelos's head had been turned but that he was professional enough to blank it out and play. That's why we employ a manager - to make tough decisions based on his own judgement.



06 Aug 2020 22:38:19
Yes he did say that stig, sirwalter open your ears and eyes you are the one that there is no hope for👍

Even gerrard knows that alfie is overweight, a yard off it and not interested. We did try to tell you's but you's wouldn't listen🤷‍♂️👍.



06 Aug 2020 23:04:34
SW54 it's exactly what he said. "alfredo has had his head turned, i think we all know that. "



06 Aug 2020 23:08:01
Yes he did actually say it.



06 Aug 2020 23:50:28
He did say that it’s clear to see Alfredo has had his head turned. We need to play him until he does leave though in my opinion, sure he’s losing value every game he doesn’t play well/ doesn’t score but he would also lose value if we were to just drop him from these big games that other teams are going to be watching. Hopefully we can see a deal close to 20 million done soon or his price is just going to keep dropping I’m afraid, no faith that he will score this weekend if he plays.



07 Aug 2020 00:04:29
No i didn't full time whistle i had other engagements so never saw interviews but you stated gerrard himself said alfredo had his head turned i'm saying av not heard the man himself say anything aoart from fredo is raring to go and will play correct me if i'm wrong so what your saying is mhedia drivel you know.



07 Aug 2020 08:17:29
Stig - that's exactly what Gerard said. Think his patience has snapped with him now.



07 Aug 2020 09:40:47
How is it media drivel if he actually said it? Look it up if you don't believe the posters instead of saying they are falling for stuff. Those are the exact words that came out Gerrard's mouth on camera, is he part of the mhedia agenda?



07 Aug 2020 10:08:09
you guys need to listen to full interview. he said his head was turned but was professional enough to get rid of the noise. don't extract what you want to justify your own agenda. you lot can be worse than the media.



07 Aug 2020 10:10:33
SG called it as it is. Morelos needs to buckle down and show he is a player.



07 Aug 2020 10:58:45
Yes He did say what has been quoted, I can't see Morelos playing on Sunday especially as we have 2 strikers possible 3 who want to play for the Team.



07 Aug 2020 14:32:43
Regardless whether his heads been turned he was our best available striker for last night in a game were we desperately wanted to win, let's move on.



07 Aug 2020 15:47:32
Coldo if SG knows fredo ain’t fit why is he playing? And why has he stated on a few occasions that fredo is FIT and ready to go?



07 Aug 2020 18:35:29
KJA9 gerrard is hardly going to say that he is not ready before a game is he? Use your head man, plus he is the only ST we have🤦‍♂️. Gerrard has since stated that he wants fredo sharper and fitter and has now said that fredo's head is turned therefore he is obviously not showing the level of interest in the team that he should be. Gerrard can't wait to cash in on him. Have you not got eyes and ears KJA9.👍.



06 Aug 2020 17:46:52
Was shot down the other day, but will repeat what I was told we spoke to Livingston about dykes, the terms we purposed were knocked back, you would hope the football director would have sounded out several targets to be safe would look silly if buff had broke his leg at Aberdeen and there was not a quick fix in place, surely all clubs sound out several possibilities for roles they need filled incase top targets say no.



06 Aug 2020 18:33:17
we paid 7mil approx for two strikers but livingston knocked back our bid for dykes🤔. Doesn't make sense does it👍.



06 Aug 2020 18:35:07
I don’t think we have ever been spoken to Livingston about Dykes but just my opinion.



06 Aug 2020 18:50:55
Give up with the dykes stuff, never have been and never will be interested.



06 Aug 2020 18:57:21
We were never in contact with Livingston and that's been openly said by Livingston.



06 Aug 2020 18:59:47
To add to my earlier post, the guy is average at best, nowhere near the level we are looking for.



06 Aug 2020 19:19:56
It does look like you have been shot down (again) border blue.



06 Aug 2020 19:41:13
If Alfredo goes would take dykes for 500k as back up just incase we end up going 2 up top in games would be 4th choice think we payed 2 million or there abouts for itten and that’s what Livingston want for dykes.



06 Aug 2020 19:45:04
We were never in for dykes, gary holt has said so this week. Sure the livingston manager knows more than some of you guys "sources"



06 Aug 2020 20:05:01
Morelos is done yet again no heart no fight.



06 Aug 2020 20:25:21
Intr

Why single him out when the full team had no heart or fight tonight?



06 Aug 2020 20:34:53
Dykes chat can stop now, we signed two strikers, at least make up bad rumours about midfielders that might come in.



06 Aug 2020 20:51:15
Atleast they tried he was a waste of a jersey tonight people were happy kamberi never signed he would have put in a better shift than alfredo.



06 Aug 2020 20:55:27
KJA9 He is getting singled out because he has been pish for months now. The vast majority of the team tried tonight but were outplayed by better opposition.



06 Aug 2020 20:58:43
rfc92, we will never go two up, even if Alfie goes we'll have four strikers for one position so why would we waste money bringing in a fifth one, especially a very average one?



06 Aug 2020 21:32:00
Not a rumour but guys, how bad has morelos been, that tonight was nothing short of diabolical. THOUGHTS.



06 Aug 2020 21:57:51
Bad the bear the only player with pass marks was helander the rest were rank rotten not just fredo he is getting single out because he looks like he is off.

It looked like no one tried tonight and the same players were rotten since jan as well.

Fredo has one chance the night that’s it all strikers need supply to score goals he never got that.



06 Aug 2020 22:21:25
His performances have been shocking since last year, bringing absolutely nothing to the table but tantrums. Not sure how you can't see this.



06 Aug 2020 22:39:12
Open your eyes KJA9👍.



07 Aug 2020 00:01:57
I think that should Morelos leave, which I'm certain he will do soon, then with Defoe, Stewart, Itten and Roofe all senior strikers, we don't need any further strikers in the door. Roofe is a good replacement for Morelos, although he isn't as strong, but Itten provides us with that dynamic and i can see us changing it up occasionally and using bith him and Roofe up top. Then we have Defoe as an impact substitute, to cover for injuries and to help the others to develop. Then we have Stewart to carry the water bottles, Ok a bit harsh, i meant that he provides us with squad depth. Another striker is a waste of a wage. I think a solid midfielder, like Zungu, to break up play and who can play a pass, is what we need and i think we're sorted. I think patterson deserves to be back up for Tavernier, i think he's a player, and would rather see him get chances than a wage being wasted on a fringe man like last season.



07 Aug 2020 01:46:56
open yours coldo! kj 110% right!



07 Aug 2020 02:38:36
Coldo get facts right Rangers never bidded for Dykes the bid they knocked back was from Barnsley another clueless post with no truth on here.



07 Aug 2020 11:49:29
Can't you read stiv? I never said we did bid🤷‍♂️. I said that we paid 7mil for two strikers but apparently livi knocked our bid back for dykes. It doesn't make sense does it stiv? Learn to read stiv before coming on here and making a fool of yourself😂😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 11:51:37
No he's not eric😂😂, morelos has been poor for 8 months now its not the fault of any player or anyone else. Stop making excuses🙈😂😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 13:51:14
Read my mail KJA 9. I said the players tried I didn’t say they played great.

Difference with Morelos and the others. They were all rubbish before the C.V. break.

Since returning they all seem to be playing well again. McGregor, goldson, barasic, Jack, Kamara, Aribo, Kent, arfield all look back to their best.

Tav not included as he hasn’t played well but at least he looks fit.



06 Aug 2020 15:27:32
Only sharing info with my fellow bears to what i've been told. Allegedly before gerrard and wilson decided to sign cedric itten,
they had narrowed it down to a shortlist of 3 for the target man style of striker, they were looking for. The 3 striker shortlist was mirko maric, lyndon dykes and of course the striker they chose cedric itten. From what i've now seen and heard i think rangers have made the correct choice, as although i rate/ like big dykes, i do think itten looks the best striker of the 3!Thoughts guys and this is coming from a lyndon dykes fan. 🤔.



06 Aug 2020 15:39:59
SGL. U r having a laugh, who told u this the manager.
We were never interested in dykes shankland cosgrove etc.



06 Aug 2020 15:46:25
Not convinced of Itten as yet, seems quite similar to Dykes who most on here thought was not good enough, but I will reserve judgment until I have seen him play in the flesh, not on YouTube. Open mind for now, whereas in the case of Roofe I am convinced he is an excellent signing. If we are serious about toppling Celtic we should be keeping Morelos and pairing him up front with Roofe.



06 Aug 2020 15:48:17
dykes was never, ever on any shortlist.



06 Aug 2020 16:00:21
Interesting Muppet because I am more excited by big Itten than Roofe! All about opinions mate, I'm not sure I'm buying that checklist story mind coops mate. Unless dykes was the plan c for if we ended up with a transfer budget of 50p 🤣.



06 Aug 2020 16:18:50
Muppet gerrard will never play two up front.



06 Aug 2020 16:39:03
Just from watching YouTube I thought Roofe looked very good. Scores a lot with his head. Itten again looks very good. I just thought Roofe is more the finished article and Itten is one who will improve and possibly be the next Alfie (by that I mean improve at the club and sell on for a profit) .

I noticed Roofe and Itten both take penalties as does Hagi. Here’s hoping we find someone who can stick them away this year.



06 Aug 2020 16:49:53
I would agree snell, itten is an exciting signing, exactly the type of striker we need.

Coop I'd admit defeat mate🤣🤣👍.



06 Aug 2020 17:17:16
Snell / Coldo let’s see who is right, we will know after a few games. I cannot comment on Itten just now waiting to see him play a game or two, that’s all I need to decide, but I am confident of Roofe if he stays fit. 6 Counties if he had Roofe and Morelos before perhaps he would have gone with two up front?



06 Aug 2020 17:24:49
this is a great post, all round.



06 Aug 2020 17:26:42
U got it all wrong big man, admit defeat. don't think we were ever in for Lyndon dykes.



06 Aug 2020 17:35:45
We will never know because we do business much more professional these days.



06 Aug 2020 17:48:06
"I'm confident if he stay's fit" you're kind of shooting down your own argument muppet, I'm delighted with both to be honest. I'm just a bit more excited with innit because he's the type of ST we have needed for a while. I think in a two up top they would compliment each other. 👍.



06 Aug 2020 17:56:55
Cant see how you can say that your not convinced by itten yet when he hasn't even kicked a ball 😂😂. You going off youtube 🤪.



06 Aug 2020 18:35:10
Itten not innit 🤦‍♂️🙄😂👍.



06 Aug 2020 18:36:18
SGL come on now you told us he was DEFINITELY signing last week in my opinion we have never been in for Dykes.



06 Aug 2020 18:39:05
Muppet 6 counties is right he won’t start with 2 up top maybe if we are struggling in a game needing a goal he may put 2 up but that will be it.



06 Aug 2020 20:03:20
For the last time, no matter what SGL's voices have been telling him, we were never remotely interested in this Dykes guy. He was never even on the scouting list, like Shankland was before he was rejected as a target, and the reason for that is anyone could see on the telly that he is nowhere near what we were looking for.



06 Aug 2020 20:06:58
Orange Tinted yes correct, that's why I am reserving judgement on Itten, need to see the guy for real before I can decide, but the YouTube videos which are his highlights don't impress me that much, but one cannot make an accurate decision from YouTube. He may well turn out to be brilliant, watch this space.



06 Aug 2020 21:39:33
guys why not play 2 up front, surely gerrard has spoken to Walter Smith at some point. when we had jalavic and Miller no one could deal with them. a love gerrard but he is playing the Liverpool way because he knows he getting that job. but he needs to play the rangers way. Its scottish football for god sake. also mcoist and hately. say no more. he is even doing the same same with taverner and barisic the way liverpool do with Robertson and Arnold, it needs to stop now lads (agree)



06 Aug 2020 22:08:03
Hope you're right he does it the liverpool way and wins the league by 20 odd points.



06 Aug 2020 22:26:04
I just love the fact this dykes keeps getting mentioned

It’s like a running joke in the forum now
Every time he’s mentioned now I have a chuckle like why does everyone keep talking about this guy

Honesty I would actually love dukes to read this forum and have his thoughts

I think he’s supported more in here than the Livingston forum 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I actually love it - it’s comedy gold on here at time’s 😂😂😂.
