The difference in his demeanour and his reaction to being fouled is huge. He looks a much more confident and happy player, without having lost an inch of his ability. It says a lot for our management team that they've steered his attitude in so positive a direction. So far so good 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says a lot for our management team that they've steered his attitude in so positive a direction. I tried to recall the last player we bought and improved but I can't remember anyone, and I'm going back 40 years. However Katic, Tav, Kent, Morelos, Jack, and Halliday have all improved greatly under this management team. It's difficult enough to improve players' skills, but almost impossible to change their attitude and behaviour so I too am intrigued as to why Morelos looks like a different person this season. Jack has also changed mentally as I've mentioned in another thread. If we can demonstrate our ability to develop players, it'll be such an attraction for young players. And given that loan deals will continue to be a part of our future, this only improves our chances of securing the hottest talents from bigger clubs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hopefully Morelos comes up against Broonaldo again in a couple of weeks. As has been mentioned by others if they insist on going with him current evidence suggests our midfield will run clean through them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him on one wing and Daryl Horgan on the other - both capable of playing either wide or even behind the striker, Hibs look a real attacking threat. They could do with sorting their defence out though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324312 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wonder if Jermaine Defoe has had something to do with it as well - he's a role model for any young pro. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “plays on the edge” excuse has finally stopped, he hasn’t changed how he plays he just don’t react like a child when he’s fouled. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
