I thought he was utterly brilliant in Lisbon, did you not?.He had a very good game this evening, however the OP is way off the mark saying exceptional again. He has been poor in both goal return and performance for months now. If tonight signals a return to form, there are zero complaints from this bear.
With the penalty incident, it’s hard for me to see it as a point gained mate but I respect your opinion.Motm tonight.
A point gained, as opposed to two chucked away in Lisbon.
Two wins and we top the group.
The OP says exceptional again which is debatable to say the very least. Lisbon?, my recollection is that goal aside his performance was hit and miss. I will reiterate he was very very good tonight, and long may it continue, I am merely questioning the term ''exceptional again''.I thought he was utterly brilliant in Lisbon, did you not?.
Personally I think he’s been fine majority of the season, but the “again” was in reference to the game in Lisbon mate.

Our all time top European goalscorer was exceptional against a CL level side against CL level performers. Run with the positives mate, this is our time...we have a long way to go silverware wise but the heights we're reaching with the ability and tools at our disposal.

He played well tonight but I think it's a bit overboard to say he was outstanding. He ran out of steam in the last 20 minutes and should have been subbed.
Terrific points well made, mate.Sometimes it's better to stay silent.
Terrific points well made, mate.
Totally agree.Really enjoying watching him in this new role. Gets about and allows for a bit of flair without the pressure of being the only one to score. Making him more of a complete player.
If he plays like that and others continue to move well around him and in-behind getting goals then I'd take that all season. No idea if he will though, given its not the box-office goals he'll want for his move.
Fck me the naming of individual posters in your praise of a player is as petty and as adolescent as some of those posters' comments in the first place. One continuous I-told-you-so-act that, with a player as inconsistent and schizophrenic as Morelos, never quite ends happily for anyone concerned.

He’s not getting the same scoring chances he used to but as someone else said, as long as we’re winning and guys like Roofe are taking full advantage I’m absolutely fine with it. For a while it didn’t look like he could do the business in a side that contained another striker to full credit to the gaffer for finding a way to make it work.We are a more threatening team with the way the front 3 now interchange. Each of them creates space for the others. I would love to see Morelos go on a scoring run for his own peace of mind. His contribution is huge even without the goals
It’s just another in a long line of descriptions of Morelos that you’d expect to find on the likes of Kerrydale street as opposed to here."Schizophrenic"
Don't know if I would ever call any Rangers player that but I guess some people are just different. As soon as you used that word you kind on lost any right to an opinion. Maybe you should stop letting the Daily Record shape your opinions.
With regards to consistency Morelos has been excellent for us over the course of his time here. Yeah he dropped his performance level after last January but he had put in a seasons worth of work in the first 6 months. The only problem was his teammates never stepped up in his absence. He was the one who took the pelters but the players playing a 6/10 every week flew under the radar.
Me too.Man of the match for me.
After the game radio Scotland ( English & Stewart ) saying he is having a poor season & Rangers look like they can’t handle pressure . How these people get paid to give their opinion is laughable ? They don’t even try & hide their bias & hatred.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.
Alfie still falling well short of the levels he had set previously. Strikers are judged on goals.
Not sure if serious here.Alfie still falling well short of the levels he had set previously. Strikers are judged on goals.
Great point.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?
Yeah and 4 domestic goals in 2020.Maybe by folk who dont actually understand football, but since you make the point, hes got a 1:2 goal ratio in the Europa group stage so far.
Yeah and 4 domestic goals in 2020.
This time last season he was on summin like 25 goals. No chance is alfie scoring 30 goals this season unless he picks it up massively. He's not playing a different role at all.Getting bored of this pish now. So after a European game where you came on to moan about his lack of goals. Its now about his domestic production? Your agenda is so transparent its unreal.
Hes scored 7 goals this year which puts him on course for just shy of 30 for the season. Hes playing a far different role than previous seasons. If you cant understand football beyond a primary 2 level "strikers score or they are shite", then I cant help you.
Completely agree, his role seems to be to pull off to the sides and drop deeper whilst pulling the defenders out of shape, creating the space for others to run behind in.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
Absolute pish. Last season he played solely as main striker. This season hes playing almost positionless across the front 3. He spends minutes at a time out left or right. Hes dropping far deeper as well. I actually need to question whether you even watch games tbhThis time last season he was on summin like 25 goals. No chance is alfie scoring 30 goals this season unless he picks it up massively. He's not playing a different role at all.
