I got slated in another post when we were interested in him. I don’t think he does enough. Probably as simple as he isn’t good enoughA lazy, panic signing.
What confuses me is that he doesn't seem to be a Morelos type striker which is odd as we play as if Morelos is there even when he isn't - so why was he signed?
Would love him to prove us wrong here but the early signs aren't great.
Did you not see when he took the ball past the defender and played a great ball across the box?Did he actually touch the ball tonight? Where was the fight and dig? Sakala isn’t the greatest but he would have ran his heart out tonight.
A very frustrating and disappointing night and you couldn’t give any of the players any pass marks. They were all mince.
Exactly my take.His movement and desire to get involved is dreadful and that's a real issue for us up top.
CorrectThe guy needs support but with no attacking midfielders and I can’t remember Barasic getting a decent cross in. What chance has the guy got.
Spot onF.uck knows why he’s getting singled out, whole team was pish!
hardly considering there's threads on Gio, the team and other players. It was a collective failure last night.Spot on
New whipping boy
Nope.Eduardo Herrera / Colak.
That's where he is.
His fairly legitimate goal was certainly invisible to those who gave it as offside that day. If that had been given this thread doesn't happen.Said on Saturday he was like the invisible man.
Not looking good, for all his faults at times Morelos looks ten times the player.
I genuinely think people on here will will referencing that disallowed goal for months as a response to anyone saying Colak isn't looking impressive.His fairly legitimate goal was certainly invisible to those who gave it as offside that day. If that had been given this thread doesn't happen.
Fair enough, but it is only his second competitive game so far. Had that goal stood, and his pass along the goal resulted in something last night we don't have this discussion; small margins right now is my point.I genuinely think people on here will will referencing that disallowed goal for months as a response to anyone saying Colak isn't looking impressive.
Can only praySeason 23/24 he wont be here
I think we have downgraded.Never saw a striker contribute so little over 2 competitive games.
No better than Itten.

Hope he proves us wrong.I think we have downgraded.
I must be missing all his runs off the ball, dropping deep and running into channels and imagining his lack of movement. He seems like a hide and seek champion.The service he is getting is terrible.There,s no creative midfielder to put a ball forward ,Its all pass from side to side.Not good enough.
Definitely agree on the second part but I'd be surprised if we weren't able to find someone who can play similarly to how Alfie does - he doesn't have to be as good obviously, just be able to hold the ball up well and play with his back to the goal.Lets be honest, there aren't many Morelos type strikers out there especially in our price range.
The style of play needs to be adapted when he isn't in the side (possibly 2 up top?) but we're no closer to adequately replacing him when he's out than we were 3/4 years ago.
Two games though.It still wouldn't hide the fact he has been largely annonymous in both games.
Very disappointing but hopefully all the new signings realise that as a team we need to do more than just turn up to win.Did he actually touch the ball tonight? Where was the fight and dig? Sakala isn’t the greatest but he would have ran his heart out tonight.

I agree , but should have read the Tillman cross better anything on that and it’s in , seen glimpses with finish at Blackpool and on Sat . But if he isn’t putting chances away he is a man down tbh .The guy needs support but with no attacking midfielders and I can’t remember Barasic getting a decent cross in. What chance has the guy got.
We are loaded mate .It’s typical Rangers. We get linked with £5-6m strikers to get us all excited and then we end up shopping in the bargain bin. The amount of money we have brought in recently and we have spent pennies in comparison. We have been crying out for a top forward for ages even with Alfie still in the team. Dare i say we need to find our own Kyogo type player, they must be out there
Two games though.
We'll find out against motherwellIs he any better than Itten?
What service would Lovelace of fed of last night ?I'd be playing lovelace infront of Colak thats how bad he is
Agree - his CV is pretty average to be fair. Hadn't realised quite how middle of the road it was until I looked last night.It's not just two games though is it? We've watched him in preseason games.
You can also look at his CV as well and he just screams journeyman at 28-29. There's nothing to get excited about at all from him.
it's not just about service. He shows absolutely nothing - zero movement whatsoever and causes defenders no issues at all. He just fucking stands there.What service would Lovelace of fed of last night ?
He doesn’t just stand there why exaggerate? Many a time last night seen him trying to chase down keeper etc with no help whatsoeverit's not just about service. He shows absolutely nothing - zero movement whatsoever and causes defenders no issues at all. He just fucking stands there.
I called him out weeks ago and was lynched by the FF Klopps.
Even Danger Zone tagged me cause he scored in a friendly against Spurs.
He's rank rotten and anyone clued up spotted this weeks ago.

Now FF is gaslighting with him.

How about after 6?Never saw a striker contribute so little over 2 competitive games.
