I love Alfie
Can’t see it tbh.I’m sure everyone’s happy we won but let’s not pretend there won’t be several wishing anyone else had gotten the winner.
You know a few have been in their element tearing strips off him this year.
Kent badly needs a break to recharge imo. He was blowing after 50 minutes, didn't look his usual energetic self and apart from side to side didn't even try to go by a man. It'll be Barker if anyone but I'd like jones to get a shot as he's been good when getting on and knows how to play well on that pitch. Regardless, Kent will no doubt start Sunday anyway though.Looked good tonight and put himself about when he came on and took his goal well.
Much more like it.
Surely in from the start on Sunday given his record against Killie as well.
Who else comes out?
Balogun
Roofe
Hagi
Great 3 points tonight. Grinding the win out. Never felt in doubt even after a poor first half always fancied us to kick on in the second half. Gives us a real cushion in the group now going into the Benfica game.
Special mention also to Kamara. What a player he's developing into by the game for us. Looks born to play on that stage.
You won’t be popular on here tonight
Excellent Alfie. Tonight showed why we need him. Toiled first half
Still our best striker by a distance
Thought he made an absolute mockery of Lille's decision not to push the boat out for him on that wee cameo performance alone tonight. More fool them and thank fk it never happened.
This 1000%I don't think he's been as bad as some have made out.
Agree on the first line. Text my bro about a minute before th goal saying the match had changed, it had a “there’s a goal coming” feel from when he came on. They were penned in, corner after corner, the goal was almost inevitable.Definitely play better as a team with him in it, despite the goal.
Am I right we had no shots on target first half ?

On your second line, I dunno - not a great stat if true.
Davis shot was on target but blocked by a defender so not that. Struggling to recall too...We only had 3 on target mate.
I remember Alfie’s goal & low shot, but can’t remember the third.

Agree he was crisp and looked refreshed . So good to see him back .His touch seemed a lot more confident tonight, hopefully back now as we need him
He leads the line better than any other striker we have. If he can find his form again, he's the first name on team sheetSay what you like about him it has been a joy watch this young man smash his way to the top of the ALL TIME Rangers European goalscoring charts
Alfie doesn’t get anywhere near the credit he deserves at times. He wasn’t at his best in front of goal lately but he always gives us a platform to build from.
His attitude is also much better than people credit him with. His body language doesn’t always help but he is absolutely a team player. He is left out tonight but doesn’t mope, he comes on, plays well and wins the game for us. Across the city there is a striker who looks like he’d rather be anywhere else other than with them yet Alfie consistency is tarred as the moody one.
Was it David they bought instead of him ?
I don't know their exact signing priorities but I believe David was brought in as number one striker for around €30 mil and Morelos was identified as a suitable accomplice if the price was right.
Yep I know and even an off colour Morelos looks a far more potent threat than the player we saw v the mentally challengeds tonight.That was David with that shite Missed penalty tonight.
Don’t think he’s scored for them yet.

Glad he scored tonight , his confidence looked gone so will only do him the world of good
