Don't disagree with you but he wasn't exactly fit, was he? Beale admitted as much by saying he was playing games when lesser players would stick their feet up. Arguably he still isn't fully fit but he's getting there. Which of the 3 do you start as the 9 at Parkhead if all 3 are fit and good to go? Alfie all day long, it's not even close.
Morelos has done great things in Europe no one can deny that the problem he seems to have now is he's caught up between being a midfielder and a striker.
And why wasn’t he fit, in January, to play a full game not blowing out his arse?
So we haven't beat them in the league since 2019 without Morelos starting, I'm not saying he's perfect but surely you have to admit he has an effect on the OF games?
You are clutching at straws now, we should expect our main striker to score against them with the number of times he has played against them.
I'm not clutching at straws at all it's what I've been saying all day, he clearly has an effect on the games
That's laughable tbh, especially given the shift the last year your username put in for us but you will no doubt defend that to the death and say he was genuinely injured etc when we all know he wasn't as bad as made out, which is what you are insinuating here. He didn't do preseason, not fully or from the start anyway, as he still hadn't recovered from the thigh injury from the end of last season and according to Beale still had ongoing issues he was playing through once he came back in. He will 100% go the way of the original Ronaldo and Schneider as soon as he stops training, so not denying he's heavy after a layoff. He came back heavy, late into preseason, never got rid of it and it's not until Beale arrived that he now looks like his old self in flashes. Same, minus the weight issue, could be said for Kent and a few others. If you don't see a link there then that's more on you than anyone else. Do I see him here at the start of next season? No, thanks for the memories. Is he the best we have for the rest of this season? Yes. Simple as that really.
I would start Morelos currently as he's the fittest striker and I would play Roofe if fit on the right side of him but it's really Sakalas shirt to lose.
I have to be completely honest and say I can’t think of a game other than the 2-1 win at Parkhead in 2019, where I recall Morelos being superb and unplayable. That day he was but in true Morelos style, instead of scoring at the end, got himself sent off with a pointless dive.
Ah more blame to everyone else except Morelos. To even compare his professionalism with Laudrup is a new low.
Eh? He was still injured at the start of preseason. He could've been 25 stone, still doesn't change the fact he finished last season injured and returned this season still injured. You seem to be using that as a stick to beat him with. First time that's happened in his entire time at the club and it, along with how long it has taken him to get back into some of shape after, has shown both in his performances and the teams in his absence. Laudrup was, like many others I'd imagine, an absolute hero of mine but if you want to polish the turd regarding his last season with us and his professionalism etc then I'm not alone in the embarrassment stakes as he chucked it and was only concerned with saving himself for what was next. Beale has repeatedly said he's been playing when he really shouldn't have been. I'm not saying it, the manager is.
Hagi has been out for double the length of time Morelos was.
i asked where did you get your opinion from that they dont like him playing against them but you respond with this, i think you're making it up they dont like him playing against them.
Shuts tomorrow night
Did he not get a player sent off at Ibrox in the 55 season? A clown at them went through him on their left back area :shh:
That’s it mate.
Don’t put yourself through that.
Yes, He's been linked by the papers and a twitter account as a poster rightly said transfer business will be the last thing on the Turkish people's minds.
Never mind that, consider who the Celtic defence would rather play against.
You might not remember this but Tavernier’s penalty record at the time wasn’t good.
If Morelos wasn't a decent player I doubt he would be hated by them, but that's my opinion. I admit I don't spend the time with Filth fans that you do.
Correct mate, as I've been saying results speak for themselves when he starts the games against them compared to when he doesn't
His record wasn't bad, he had simply missed a couple in the lead up to that final.
Only took one miss this season!
A poster mentioned that Vickers bullied Morelos in last seasons game.
Good point, GY.
I suspect they may hate him due to multiple sending offs and in at least 1 game at Ibrox he should also have been sent off if honest, as he had a kick at Brown in the baws then stood on Ralston on the deck.
Morelos was bullied by SPL diddy defenders last season under Gerrard when he was in his “couldn’t be arsed” spell. Even some of his biggest defenders on here couldn’t believe how poor he was to the extent diddy defenders were pushing him off the ball.
I stated last month Vickers bullied Morelos in the first half. No idea where last season came from.
It must break your heart every time the lad scores for Rangers.
And that leaves us with Roofe a Colak
What game was that?
What a grown up reply. You should be proud.
Vickers last month at Ibrox, 2-2 game. Morelos spent the first half on his arse begging for fouls or trying to get himself booked. Vickers barely broke sweat.
I think it’s time for him to go but you’ve posted a lot of mince. Consistently our best player in games against them during a period where they didn’t beat us for two years and the clubs record European goal scorer.
Honest and fair post - it’ll never catch on in here!
