I'd say that is one of the things he is pretty good at.Not for me.
A penalty taker, for me, has to be a good passer of the ball.
Morelos doesn’t fall into that category.
Hagi imo would be a good penalty taker.
We should be pummelling teams like Hamilton.
Not relying on soft as shite penalties.
It's going to be a long season unless we start being more professional.

Looks like wee wanker walsh the referee is checkig his watch to see how long is left to book Alfredo Wonder who the 1st ref will be to book him for celebrating a goal in an empty stadium? It might just happen

Yes, he was rotten, but Morelos has a locker full of skills that because of the position he plays he doesn't require to use much in a game, but he can tackle, he can dribble and he can pass a football with some vision and accuracy.I thought Boyd was a great penalty taker. Absolutely rotten passer though, couldn’t even play a simple 5 yard ball to put Ferguson through on goal away at El Madrigal

Ironically, Kris Boyd was maybe in certain situations a deadlier finisher, although Morelos will create situations to score by himself that Kris couldn't.
Such is the complexity of a simple game.
Keep politics out of football- I think for anyone in the West who didn't realise it before gets the message by nowGood thing fans aren’t allowed in, I could see our players losing all respect for quite a few of the them if they started huffing and puffing about players showing their support.
Have a day off ffs, first game in 4 months and you think we should be putting teams to the sword!??? Have a word with yourselfWe should be pummelling teams like Hamilton.

I agree.I’ve seen Morelos play some great passes, perfectly weighted too. I don’t really get the stance people take with him and penalties, I’ve never seen him sclaff one. Just far too conservative and obvious with his effort in the CIS final which was poor. But most seem to have it in their head that he can’t get a clean strike on a stationary ball which I find equal disturbing and hilarious in equal measures.

Good point and one that blows my argument out of the water.Like, for instance, Kris Boyd?
I don't agree.
I think Morelos is actually a very good footballer and has a good variety of passing especially under pressure.
He should take our penalties and with more practice in match situations, he will get there.
I always want my top goalscorer to take responsibility for a shot at goal.
I just can’t agree with you guys here.I’ve seen Morelos play some great passes, perfectly weighted too.

This has to be down to the individual.I don't agree.

I don’t have an exact science argument of course.
Everything I point to can be argued against, even by myself.
One thing for yourself DZ, you might find it disturbing and hilarious but, there are a few much wiser people than I who‘d agree with me.
As I hinted at earlier, McLeish said it about Mols.Who mate? If it’s people on here then I’d contest that
I just find it bizarre, we’re talking about striking a stationary ball. I think I’ve seen him hit 3 penalties for us now, scored 2 and missed 1, and he’s got a clean connection on all of them. Just that one of them was just too weak and poorly positioned and the keeper guessed right.
Isn't nice to be arguing about the football again?This has to be down to the individual.
McCoist wanted to hit them, Mols didn’t.
Derek Parlane would hit them but Derek Johnstone shunned them.
As I hinted at earlier, McLeish said it about Mols.
At the time, there were other examples mentioned, as well as the idea being ridiculed.
I‘m sure SAF was one of the coaches mentioned.
One thing I’ll guarantee here is that I won’t too often call FF posters wise.
The McLeish one was after a penalty shoot out when Mols didn’t take one.Ohhh I thought you meant Morelos specially! Yeah I must admit I don’t remember McLeish saying that but I also have no reason to doubt you. I don’t even remember Mols taking penalties to be honest, though pre injury he was a hell of a finisher. I remember him putting 4 past Goram with 4 real top class finishes, all of them very different.

AgreeBig Borna would be my penalty taker.
Tav had an excellent record with penalties initially to be fair. Scored a fair few before he started missing a bit too regularly.Search his penalty against PSV for Osijek. Cool as you like.
He’s a dick, but the last penalty taker we had with a clean strike was probably Whittaker.
Cant remember Derek Parlane taking a pk. Usually Sandy or Alex MillerThis has to be down to the individual.

I'm sorry but no way was that a penalty. He took it well but that's embarrassing how he fell. Yeah I get it, it's a part of the modern game but ffs
Ah ok. Was looking on my phone and it just looked like the player touched him with his arm and he fell over. Didn't see the feet getting clipped. I stand correctedIt’s a stonewall penalty. Doesn’t matter how the %^*& fall when you have both feet clipped from behind.
I agree , I think strikers sometmes don’t like dead balls because they work off instinct. That’s why I understood what Mcleish said. However Alfie could play midfield comfortably and often he does drop deep get the ball on the turn and plays 30 yard switches. His passing is very very good and has improved a lot from his first season when it was still good.Good point and one that blows my argument out of the water.
That said, the example is, if not unique then, for me, definitely in the minority.
Looking back at recent examples, I was never wholly confident with Kenny Miller, Jelavic, Mols, (I took a lot of stick for agreeing with McLeish’s comment about him at penalties) Dodds and, Negri.
I think the common denominator here is that they are all genuine number nines.
Players you wouldn’t play in midfield.
Good powerful header.What was the bassey goal like
Shut upAfter Hampden last season I hope not.
Wit hahahahahahaahahahhaahaNot for me.

Thanks for your insight.Shut up
Nah, he works on instinct, and that was a poor penalty against Hamilton.Hope Afie gets a run as penalty taker .
Took plenty, bud.Cant remember Derek Parlane taking a pk. Usually Sandy or Alex Miller
Thanks for keeping me informedTook plenty, bud.
Actually missed one against the scum, Jan 73, but scored the rebound.
We wont get them when it mattersI can’t believe we got that penalty. We’d be raging if that was against us.
