If we bring him back too soon he could have a setback. Being deemed fit and match fit are 2 different animals. Catch 22 situation. Dare I suggest that it will make little difference until we know how we want to play. Colak literally got no service last night which is a worry. That therefore to me suggests that swapping to Alfie is not going to simply provide the magic bullet to our current predicament. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Morelos has better hold up play and movement than Colak which is why he got no service. Same thing has happened with Itten and Roofe at times when Morelos has been absent. We need to remember Morelos is quite good. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Alfie comes deep a lot. Colak is more of a traditional centre forward. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 If you can't see the difference in the way Morelos and Colak play the game then you must be blind. Two very different kinds of forward. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you move, find space and the pass never comes - what then? At the moment we are consumed with square passes and misplaced crosses. The problem isn’t the front man. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,322 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The tactics were wrong. The forward line did next to nothing because it was completely cut off from everything behind it. If Morelos was playing then we could just punt it up to him. That wasn't an option. Why didn't the manager play Tillman deeper? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chasm between the back 5/midfield and our attacking players was like the Grand Canyon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
