Moving on to our favourite theltic players now?
He clearly isn't and has had a few digs at him recently. The sooner Morelos is gone from the club the better. He hasn't been worth the hassle for a good while now.
If Morelos doesn’t play regularly between now and the game at Hampden it would be pointless him playing any part in the game imo.It’s a big call for Beale. A Morelos even close to his best form starts, but he isn’t and evidently not giving the manager enough in training to make him feel he deserves a start.
Now that he’s reportedly penned a pre contract agreement elsewhere there are justifiable concerns that a player who frequently looked like he couldn’t be bothered anyway will have the necessary motivation against a side he’s never really excelled against anyway.
With Roofe out and Sakala too wobbly to lead the line himself Beale may have no choice but to show faith in a player who’ll still be at the club next season.
If he elects to play a half fit, questionably motivated Morelos who looks like he’s heading out the door ahead of Colak, what message does that send to the Croat?

He has a trip to Parkhead before the semi. If he loses both, he’ll be toast in the eyes of many in our support.Agree, albeit he’s already made wrong calls in the last two matches with them in my opinion.

He needs to start getting his calls right unfortunately, the dilemma he has with Colak and Morelos being one of them.
Do you honestly believe any player plays in a cup final not interested?Beale made the mistake of picking an uninterested player over a commited option when he went with Kamara over Raskin.
He thought it was tried and tested but was actually tried and failed.
I don't think he would do it again.
He was crap until the midfield got changed and then he actually got some decent service, and scored the goal.Alfie was crap in the LC Final, despite his goal. So was Colak for that matter.
I don't think its an easy decision at all. If only we had another option.
I wouldn't say I'm in favour of it but there appears to have been hints recently that we could go to three at the back, with Souttar available again now. Not inconceivable that we could start both Morelos and Colak if we did that.Both
Throw an absolute curve ball and go at them
Neither have a good record against them put them both in
Would playing into the strikers feet not suit Morelos more than Colak?Colak but play it to his feet. Lumping balls up to the striker suits their centre backs. They aint good on the deck.
Definitely don’t see Beale throwing any curveball against them - would leave him wide open if the result goes against us.Both

He scored the goal, despite his lumbering about the pitch, before the midfield got changed. The subs were made immediately after.He was crap until the midfield got changed and then he actually got some decent service, and scored the goal.
Then he got subbed off for Colak who did absolutely nothing with that service.
He’s been nowhere near 75% all seasonMorelos at 75% is a better option than Colak.
The last 2 years - Morelos pre injury was more than good enough that wasn’t 2 years ago?I'd go Colak tbh.
Morelos is off in the summer and let's be honest, other than scoring against Celtic he was completely anonymous.
I honestly think some fans believe that the Morelos of 2019/20 is going to magically appear and start rag-dolling defences again, despite the evidence of the last 2 years telling us otherwise.
7 goals and 5 assists since Beale arrived and he’s not been anywhere near 75%?He’s been nowhere near 75% all season
A morelos thats fit and interested . Yes.Would playing into the strikers feet not suit Morelos more than Colak?
ReallyAlfie is an easy man to mark & Carter-Vickers had a field day in the final. At least Colak gives some movement in attack.
This interested pish really needs to stop - what professional footballer wouldn’t be interested playing in a semi final against your biggest rivals?A morelos thats fit and interested . Yes.
I hope Colak plays at the piggery.I think Colak was still returning to full fitness too to be fair to him. I have a hunch he'll go with Colak at the Piggery to see how it goes as a test run for Hampden. I think it's AC's shirt for now.
Oh its pish isit?. You think morelos has looked interested this season. ?. Nae bother.This interested pish really needs to stop - what professional footballer wouldn’t be interested playing in a semi final against your biggest rivals?
Yes it’s pish from people who have no clue about football.Oh its pish isit?. You think morelos has looked interested this season. ?. Nae bother.
Have you seen Colak against them?
On form Morelos is our best player.
It is up to management to get Morelos engaged and fit and ready for action.
If he leaves then he leaves but while he is still here he has to be used.
The alternative is to start Sakala through the middle and have the extra man in midfield - Tillman/Arfield.
The last 2 years - Morelos pre injury was more than good enough that wasn’t 2 years ago?
Would you honestly be confident of beating them at Hampden with Colak up top given his performances against them and the likes of his performances against Raith rovers and Patrick thistle?
The rewriting of history from guys like you is really quite something hahaMorelos pre injury wasn't that good though, let's not make out like he was banging in goals left right and centre.
FWIW if our other players perform better and create chances for our striker then I'd rather Colak 100%. If we get 1 or 2 chances in the box I reckon he takes them, whereas Morelos I'm not as confident.
The midfield was the big problem against them.I picked Morelos, but I'd rather he came on as a sub when Colak was struggling than repeat the Final debacle.
And guys like yourself are incapable of dealing in the here and now.The rewriting of history from guys like you is really quite something haha
Would love to get threads up when Morelos got injured - would make really interesting reading.
What’s that got to do with him saying he wasn’t good enough pre injury?And guys like yourself are incapable of dealing in the here and now.
Morelos pre injury.What’s that got to do with him saying he wasn’t good enough pre injury?
You love jumping in two footed eh.
