Start Defoe vs Kilmarnock?

[tomvallance1983]

Think he’s earned another start and has scored there previously

 

[MSF]

Absolutely not.

 

[steve1873]

It's one of toughest away fixtures we have. We play our strongest available side.

 

[GF7]

Morelos loves a goal against Kilmarnock to be fair. Their shit pitch is also a leveller and usually turns into a scrap, Alfie loves a battle.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Killie away is a game for Morelos imo.

 

[Renoranger]

It's one of toughest away fixtures we have. We play our strongest available side.

Agree with this - huge opportunity to put more daylight between us and the yahoos. Best eleven possible.

 

[tomvallance1983]

Morelos has struggled to score all season

 

[Gibby_ff]

A no from me. Had a good game today and he will be handy for games at Ibrox like that but for Killie away we need to go with either Morelos (who has previous for damaging Killie) or Roofe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Morelos start on Thurs and Roofe on Sun. Great we have these options now! Including big Itten.

 

[Jjbscotty]

roofe or itten for me.

 

[Gazza 8]

Rugby Park isn't the game for Defoe.

Morelos will start on Thursday & Sunday.

 

[Duranman]

Morelos would be the last of the 4 I'd pick just now. Domestically, he wasnt great last season either and his incredible European performances masked that somewhat. Christ Defoe outscored him domestically last season.

He'll score 5 on Sunday.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Roofe on that pitch being nursed back may not be risked.

Can see morelos starting

 

[RutherglenLoyal]

I'd rather start him on Thursday and play Morelos against Kilmarnock.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

We have some players who are excellent on the artificial surfaces.

Tav, Kamara, Arfield and Morelos being the standouts.

Alfredo will start there imo.

 

[GF7]

Morelos has struggled to score all season

True but still highest number out of our 4 strikers with 5. (admittedly with the most game time)

 

[Bulldog_72]

I’d start Alfredo or Roofe. Hopefully Alfredo gets back to his best starting on Thursday.

 

[Albertz Loyal]

Morelos for me, think Stevie has played a blinder today(although before the game I was bit worried, but what do I know!) as he always looks more pumped when he's got something to prove

 

[tomvallance1983]

I'd rather start him on Thursday and play Morelos against Kilmarnock.

He’s not in the EL squad

 

[Balogun1]

We have some players who are excellent on the artificial surfaces.

Tav, Kamara, Arfield and Morelos being the standouts.

Alfredo will start there imo.

Hopefully will be the start of Morelos getting back in amongst the goals.

 

[Birkenshaw Bear]

Concerned over playing Roofe on Astro.

Maybe go Itten? I think Morelos will start though.

 

[Chocco]

Start Itten and Roofe IMO , Morelos isn’t doing it and head been turned

 

[Michael Mols]

Wouldn’t risk Roofe on the pitch. Would play Alfie or Itten with Defoe coming off the bench if we need a goal in the second half.

 

[david1872]

Can't see roofe being risked on that disgraceful pitch.

Alfie will start

 

[Stevie13000]

It's one of toughest away fixtures we have. We play our strongest available side.

Is the correct answer.

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Morelos/ itten
At a push roofe then defoe last

 

[steve1873]

I'd rather start him on Thursday and play Morelos against Kilmarnock.

He isn't in Europa League squad mate.

 

[Unicorn]

Have people been watching morelos this season?

 

[Shota]

I’m Morelos biggest critic at the moment but the game is built for him.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Not for me. The gaffer done well today bringing JD in Burbank against Kilmarnock away I would say Morelos or roofe. Morelos for holding up ans bossing, I know he's not been productive but gives defenders something to think about. How good is it to have those 4 to choose from though, fantastic!!

 

[Macca]

Can't believe this is even up for discussion. Absolutely no chance

 

[Kingging]

Somebody a bit injury prone on that pitch. Nope.

 

[BlueHaze]

Expecting a very physical game v Killie so we need Alfredo strength up front.

 

[davmcc]

I think Morelos will start the next 3 games if he's fit.

 

[Danger Zone]

Absolutely no chance

 

[RFCStu]

Start Itten and Roofe IMO , Morelos isn’t doing it and head been turned

Sorry but I totally disagree. Have you seen Alfredo celebrating our goals last weekend and on Thursday? He is going through a difficult patch but I'm convinced he is still completely dedicated to the team.

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

We’ve barely won at rugby park with Morelos as a lone striker.....

The Killie game is where the manager has to get these big decisions right

For what it’s worth, Defoes link up play today was as good as anything Alfredo has produced this season

 

[Madjid Moments]

This is one for Morelos or Itten

Physicality, Holding the ball up, linking in our wide players and midfielders.

The good thing is we have options.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

Itten or Morelos. Don't really want to risk Roofe on that pitch.

 

[bluetonic]

Paid a lot of money for Itten and Roofe, they need more game time

 

[Arkyblue]

Great finish but unfortunately he’s done. Need our first team next week

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

Na. If we need a goal he's there.

 

[Dean Learner]

I think Alfie starts at Killie with Roofe starting Thursday.

Would not be against Itten and Roofe both starting vs Poznan.

 

[DunantBlue]

Roofe returning from an injury lay off? Seriously doubt he will start on their surface.

Morelos

Kent Arfield Aribo

Kamara Davis

Barisic Helander Goldson Tav

Greegs

 

[gersfanal]

Rugby Park isn't the game for Defoe. Morelos will start on Thursday & Sunday.

---

I agree with the first part !

 

[gersfanal]

Can't see roofe nor Defoe being risked on that disgraceful pitch.

Alfie will start

 

[BattleFeverOn]

Wouldn't play roofe on that daft pitch. Defoe knows where the goal is. Morelos way off the pace for me

 

[dublinbear]

Strongest team away to Killie, he’s not in our strongest team.

can still play a part, but not starting.

 

[Papac5]

Strongest team has got to start with Morelos leading the line. The pitch is obviously a worry so could maybe see Jones flung in on the right hand side before Aribo or Roofe. Apart from that it’s business as usual.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Morelos.

 

[Barca 72]

I think Itten will start against Kille may be wrong but just a feeling I have.
