[The Predator]

Are we allowed to discuss him?

What is he actually bringing to the party. He just doesn't look like a footballer

 

[Badger]

We are all entitled to our opinion I suppose!

In the 90mins of game time he’s had?

 

[Sir Know it All]

Other than his mad shot, and it was mental, thought he was decent enough last night.

 

[BillStruthBear]

My biggest takeaway from him is he absolutely hates running channels

 

[TwoBadMice]

Too early to judge needs time to settle IMO

 

[Clubdeckg]

Early days, he's been terribly unlucky with his stop/start to the season. I think he'll be a good player for us

Give him a few more months to settle I think the goals will come eventually with him.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

He’s barely had an opportunity.

 

[The Predator]

He’s barely had an opportunity.

I'd say there is a reason for that.

 

[Mackania]

I can't really remember us signing a striker who hit their straps right away. For some reason we just don't get that luck.

Need to go back to Walters time, I think.

Hopefully it works out for the boy, loads of people were excited by his performances at Oostend.

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Him, other Players, and the Team generally, Stop/Starting their way to 56.

 

[Byson]

He needs a run of games

Morelos scored 8 in his first 9 from memory, pretty decent!.

 

[MarkWalters11]

I am sure he was bought with the idea Alfie would be sold, sadly for him and Itten it has been to the detriment of their Rangers career. I think Sakala is a good player but he needs to play.
I hope we use him more than 10 mins here and there.

 

[MLGger]

Hopefully gets a start next Wednesday

 

[Viatrophy]

He needs a run of games

That’s the thing though we said that about Itten as well but I don’t see him ever getting a long run in the team. We have our style and system and as long as no one gets injured we won’t change it.

 

[Wang]

Speed and quite direct with testing the keeper.

If given a proper run of games his first touch will improve and his reading of the game/match sharpness.

Judging him or writing him off after little game time is ridiculous.

 

[Jogbear]

Isnt he just back from an injury? Needs time and a run in the team

 

[andy5836]

He's not had enough game time to make a judgement. He need a run of games where he starts so we can see what he brings to the team.

I guess we are going to find out on Sunday?

 

[Wang]

Morelos' finishing in his first season was pretty bad from what I remember, Gerrard saw something in him though that many others didn't.

 

[BluenoseAL]

why not wait till he's played at least 6 or 7 full games (or the equivalent time)

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Some of our fans have a cheek calling themselves supporters. The guy has played about 150 minutes of football in amongst injuries and COVID.

I like the fact we have high standards as a support, but some of the criticism these days is utter pathetic.

 

[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

The OP appears to have tackle and a rod and is just going from thread to thread to seek out the salmon.

I worry where he may pop up next.

IMO, if it is a serious question then he won't suit the style of our game. We need to adapt to get him the space to run into.

 

[Clay Davis]

I really like him and looking forward to seeing him get a run of games.

I like the idea of maybe him and Alfie as a 2 with Hagi in behind while Kent is out.

 

[cloodie]

Love his attitude but I'm getting a bad feeling so far. I know he's not had many minutes but I'm not seeing anything yet that gives me any confidence. Hopefully he kicks on and proves me wrong. He'll have my full support anyway, as they all do.

 

[CaptainHolt]

He had a great run near the end of the game. I'm not sure he's a superstar but he'll come good, confident of that.

 

[Bigbluebear]

No pre season, injury, new team and new country, 1 start and 6 sub appearances, 3 of them when chasing a game. Total of 160 minutes of competitive football.

Nobody is in any position to judge him at all at the moment.

 

[Topps]

Its early with him and i'd like to see how he goes with a run of games but not seeing much in the very short spell we have seen him so far.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Him, other Players, and the Team generally, Stop/Starting their way to 56.

Very true mate, yet we're still top of the league! We need to improve massively, hopefully a convincing win on Sunday

 

[Brian Laudrup]

This is bi-polar Follow Follow mate,everyone is fair game for some

 

[Main Stand]

An utterly bizarre touch on the right flank, then a few minutes later scooted by two men and created an opportunity.

It’s too early for us to judge him, but I’d be keen to see him getting more game time.

 

[Givetheballtobrian]

Smiles a lot in training tho so it's ok.

Hard to read too much into his 14 min cameo last night but looked lively.

 

[Bum chin]

He’s barely had an opportunity.

Players get an opportunity every day in training to impress. When they don't start then that's because they don't show in training they deserve a start.

 

[Airplane]

Isnt he just back from an injury? Needs time and a run in the team

Like many he needs a run of games, sadly Gerrard won’t drop his favourites no matter their form

 

[Bigbluebeard]

The ones who pan him will be the ones who labelled him the second coming after Madrid.

 

[Macdonsj]

just moved here
had to isolate meaning he missed some of pre-season
injury picked up right away
trying get into the team ahead of Morelos, Roofe, Kent and Wright

he scored 1 in 4 in the Belgian league, which is not regarded as worse than scotland

give the lad a chance

 

[Leo_Ger]

Played 157 minutes of football for us so far.

157 minutes after moving to another country, not having a proper pre-season and picking up an injury.

There's some genuine idiots on here.

 

[Kirbys House]

Who've we got left that hasn't been criticised since FT last night, Broxi?

 

[Mackania]

Morelos scored 8 in his first 9 from memory, pretty decent!.

His debut was Progres Niderkorn away I'm sure? Not a happy occasion, he also had a period of several months without a goal quite early. Not going to argue against him mind, he has been a superb signing.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Just like Lundstram and Bacuna, we all need to give them time before making judgements.

 

[Main Stand]

Yep of course, but 8 in your first 9 games is a decent start

 

[Paisleybear30]

Reminds me a bit of Novo, as soon as he gets the ball he's super eager to get going at full speed but often doesn't have the ball fully under control.

Seemed to work for Novo though

 

[Scaramanga]

Smiles a lot in training tho so it's ok.

What does this even mean and why would you post that?

 

[Mackania]

Yep of course, but 8 in your first 9 games is a decent start

My point was more than I'm hardly going to be gushing about anyone in that team!

I don't recall him getting that many goals early? He must have hardly scored for the remainder of the season then!

 

[Laudrup97]

Dont think he has started a game yet? If so its a bit unfair to judge him on a few minutes here and there when he has also been out and been told by the management team he wont be rushed into first team action.

 

[Main Stand]

My point was more than I'm hardly going to be gushing about anyone in that team!

I don't recall him getting that many goals early? He must have hardly scored for the remainder of the season then!

From memory, 18 in 43 - which is decent for a 21 year old in his debut season. 14 in 30 league games I’m sure.

One thing Pedro got right at least.

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

Might change my name to "Gerrard has admitted that he rushed Sakala back", so I don't need to say 100,000 times on here. Let him have some proper game time when he's fully fit before we judge him.
