Not the 1st time and won't be the last time I say this on a match thread . Roofe is such a clever player his movement is a class above at this level.
The intense focus on him is a result of him having only a handful of good performances in a calender year now though.Nothing to do with that, I think it’s the way people hone in on a couple of slack passes out of the full first 45 and put intense focus on that. Add to that on a couple of those chances the ball still has to travel most of the length of the pitch before they get a chance so we should be intercepting before that.
Yeah he needs to tighten up his play significantly, but if the chance that came from Balogun misjudging the flight of the ball had lead to a goal you can bet your arse that would have been ignored and it would have been a case of piling into Morelos for losing the ball 90-100 yards from our own goal.
Been saying it for a while that it's the same folk every time. Seemingly remarkably similar usernames too.Its sometimes not even worth replying mate. It's the same names with the negativity. They just seem to need it.
If we go on and win by 4 or 5 from here you won't see them again until Thursday night when somebody makes a slack pass.
Grilled cheese pleaseSettle.
Folks like you belong in the kitchen.
I was actually thinking that, just before he gave the ball away that led to their free kick just before half time.Morelos hasn't played that well so far, but he still is showing terrific movement and creating gaps for others.
Him, Aribo, Roofe and Kent as a front 4 is scarily good and if they all click at once someone is in for a helluva beating.
He's giving our defenders lots of problems in the game I'm watching.What excuse did I give? I said he had made some poor passes. His movement is giving the Aberdeen defenders lots of problems.
Go put the kettle on.
In all honesty some of his touches have been really poor and it’s been a recurring theme this season which is frustrating so he does need to tighten it up significantly.Agree with this entirely. It's not been Alfie's best game but he's dragging defenders out of position and creating space for others - we're also winning comfortably at half time against one of our tougher opponents and we've played some great stuff at times.
I think some folk will moan if we aren't winning 8 nil every week
Arfield's positional play is outstanding. He sits between their lines and finds pockets of space which cause others to move out of position to pick him up, making space for others to exploit.
You logging in via live.Rangers.co.uk/live ?Half time and my login still not working!! I tried the earlier suggestion but still no luck any ideas?
Stop talking tactical sense on FF.Morelos did cause 2 counter attacks but he’s a large reason for how well we’re playing with his dropping deep, dragging defenders and making space
Alfie now has the quality around him to help develope his game, he even seems to be happier now despite not having the top spot. So I dont think its simply a dip in form, hes going to mature into a very good all round striker.Alfie has been fantastic, I know he's lacking goals but the team are more than making up for it around him.
His defending from the front closing everything down is great and his link up past has improved immensely the past few weeks.
I know Defoe took him under his wing last year but I think you can see a bit of Roofe's play rubbing of on him as well this season.
He's learning from both and will be a better rounded player for it
it's great to say that Morelos' movement is causing problems and that means he's playing well but there's players on the bench that could do that without giving Aberdeen 3 chances to counter attack in 45 minutes.
Allowing others to play, it’s the sign of a great team that’s playing for each three. Great to have our Rangers backmap on Sky showed what Morelos has done today, he's only had one touch in the box it looks like, completely unselfish and trying to make space for others
It's absolute poison. He had three dodgy passes, oh no, what a disaster. If Morelos was causing us real issues he'd be dropped but instead he is clearly executing the instructions he is being given by management in a more than satisfactory manner. He's not on fire at the moment but he's hardly playing poorly.Been saying it for a while that it's the same folk every time. Seemingly remarkably similar usernames too.
Anyway, 2nd half time. Mon the Rangers !
This is the nail on the head, Alfie is massively important to the shape and style we playThere’s nobody in our squad that can drag players about the way Morelos can due to the attention the opposition always gives him
The intense focus on him is a result of him having only a handful of good performances in a calender year now though.
He is a square peg in a round hole in this team, he doesn't have the ability to play as a false 9 efficiently.
Cue previous home game DHMorelos hasn't played that well so far, but he still is showing terrific movement and creating gaps for others.
Him, Aribo, Roofe and Kent as a front 4 is scarily good and if they all click at once someone is in for a helluva beating.
Hilariously badThat was an utter crap free kick from the sheep
I'm pretty sure that a management team who have us top of the league by double figures and top of our Europa League group know why they're picking Morelos ahead of these players on the bench.it's great to say that Morelos' movement is causing problems and that means he's playing well but there's players on the bench that could do that without giving Aberdeen 3 chances to counter attack in 45 minutes.
