Morelos - exceptional again

[Main Stand]

The past two games against Benfica have shown he’s still got it, not that I thought he ever lost it.

Hold up play, link up play & his ability to draw fouls were magnificent again. Allowed us to get up the park & break their press.

Vertonghen will be having nightmares.

Keep it up Alfie.

 

[Danger Zone]

I thought he was superb tonight. No goal though so no doubt the brains trust headed up by Del and co will want him benched for the next game.

 

[WinkieWATP]

I thought Vertonghen was lucky to stay on the pitch for his yellow on Morelos.

 

[Gazrfc]

Had him on to score and was getting frustrated at how wide he was playing lol

 

[YoungGer97]

Best player on the park imo, was linking the game exceptionally throughout.

 

[frankie_dux]

Great performance tonight

A lot more like himself

 

[Nelka]

He was excellent

 

[Professor Yaffle]

He was sensational.

Worked his arse off

Gutted for him that he never scored at the end.

He doesn't stop moving and pulls players all over the place.

 

[Fitzy]

He was superb, yet again playing the role asked of him brilliantly.

Many on here should be ashamed of previous comments.

 

[shotta1974]

ran them ragged all night, great game from him.

 

[Diego Maradona]

He was great. He’s so frustrating

 

[Gazza 8]

He's nearing back to his best.

Once he gets a couple of goals in consecutive games he'll start banging them in again.

 

[bpfurian]

Play very well again tonight and put in a shift and a half.

 

[Boabmeister]

Outstanding from Alfredo

 

[insanicdrunk]

I thought Vertonghen was lucky to stay on the pitch for his yellow on Morelos.

Neck high tackle!!

 

[Davieblue1977]

He was great tonight

 

[whitbyontbear]

Played great tonite despite being kicked about all game. Almost pulled the game back to us with that shot the keeper put onto the bar.

 

[Beswgers]

Barely gave the ball away and linked up well, as per usual these days. Unlucky with the shot that their keeper fumbled. If that had gone in, the three points were ours.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

He did very well tonight. The front 3 worked so hard.

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

He was superb tonight

His first touch was impeccable which wasn’t the case at the weekend.

Long may it continue.

 

[JD1872]

That front 3 is the best we’ve had for a very long time. All 3 are exceptional

 

[Gramps1]

Kicked all over the park and still had a great gane.

 

[JW1988]

Both Alfie and Kent ran their arses off tonight doing shuttle runs between defenders. Really pleased with his performance.
People mentioning the lack of goals maybe don’t realise he is playing a different role, almost Firmino like. So he won’t always be on the penalty spot unfortunately. But it’s clearly working for the team

 

[Spinning Blue]

He was brilliant tonight. His hold up play was the best I’ve seen in years.

 

[TheHorseWithNoName]

He‘s a different player this season. Worked his socks off tonight. Playing more for the team than for himself and he‘s not allowing himself to get riled by the opposition.

 

[Main Stand]

Thought his link up play was brilliant from a technical point of view too.

 

[Clay Davis]

It’s really interesting watching him this season. He’s almost playing as a number 10 some games.

I do prefer the old Alfie but we are better as a team with him playing as he is now

 

[Coisty09]

His best game in a Rangers Jersey this season in my humble opinion.
He gave their back line nightmares.
Hia hold up play was unbelievably good.
Alfredo looked every inch a Colombian international tonight.
And it is performances like that that will get him selected for his country because that will be noticed.

Tonight he was back to his old style in running the channels & pinning defenders, you seldom see strikers like him these days.

They just love a battle.

 

[gersin008]

Actually thought he was dominating at times. Loved it and thought he looked great

Nah mate this was explained to them in layman’s terms last time and we were told it was just an excuse for his so called bad performances.

 

[JCDarcheville]

He played well but “exceptional” and “sensational” are stretching it... he’s going in the right direction so hopefully those words will be valid again soon!

 

[Son Of Laudrup]

I thought Alfie was class tonight, and his overall link up play this season has also been great, don’t panic the goals will come make no mistake , and big vertonghen will look nice on Alfie’s mantelpiece tonight.

 

[GS94]

His all round game was brilliant tonight, very unlucky to get the goal at the end when the keeper made a hash of it

 

[devilman]

He did well tonight - held the ball up well and his link up play was good. Looks like he's building a decent relationship with Roofe as well.

 

[basilboli]

Man of the match for me.

 

[El Jock Grande Sabia]

He might not be light up the goal scoring charts, but he's showing a whiole other side to his game. He really is a team player & we are reaping the rewards for it.

 

[Main Stand]

I thought he was superb tonight. No goal though so no doubt the brains trust headed up by Del and co will want him benched for the next game.

I’m sure they’ll pop in, they call it as they see it

 

[Nightman]

Outstanding tonight. Linked everything up brilliantly. Was unlucky with his shot. Enjoying this front three and their work rate.

 

[Family bam]

Alfredo on his game is virtually unplayable.

Tremendous performance.

 

[spaceman2]

Looked back to his old self from this time last year tonight - a wee goal or 2 and he could go on a proper tear again.

The link up between him, Kent & Roofe is going to be special this season if we can keep all 3 through January and keep them fit.

 

[Bulldog_72]

His touch was superb tonight. The whole front three great at winning it back.

 

[Danger Zone]

I’m sure they’ll pop in, they call it as they see it

Yeah in the same way David Blunkett calls it as he sees it.

 

[strathavenbear]

He played well tonight, just needs to get back amongst the goals.

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

It’s really interesting watching him this season. He’s almost playing as a number 10 some games.

I do prefer the old Alfie but we are better as a team with him playing as he is now

This is my feeling on it - I'm dying for Alfie to get back to scoring every game but have to recognise he's playing a different role and the team are benefiting. As long as we're getting good results then it's all good

 

[Modfella]

He was amazing tonight,linked up held the ball and and used it well.
Another question, can't remember the last time he got a yellow either?

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Should have punted that liability for 12 million.

where are all the usual suspects??????????

Love the wee man. What a player. Bullied a top centre back tonight.

 

[Kingsparkger]

Worked hard all night, a terrific performance

 

[Sirwatty]

That front 3 is the best we’ve had for a very long time. All 3 are exceptional

I'd second that. We're blessed with immense forwards.
