Match Thread [FT] Rangers 3 (Tillman 15', 21'; Arfield 84') - 0 Bayer Leverkusen

[Frankie 8,562]

I've been very critical of Morelos lately but he looked a lot sharper the other day and was more effective than Colak in the 4-2-3-1 we used - he did well in deeper and wider areas especially. 

 

Overall, although it was a friendly, there was lots to be positive about.  If we can get a few more defenders fit asap then we should be better placed than before the break.

1. Attendance given as 26192, did not look like that from GF. Over half capacity?

2. Good game but going back a few months we gubbed West Ham and thought everything was rosy.

Someone on FF said that the actual number in the stadium was around 17,000, which sounds realistic.

Slightly sharper because he was kind enough to actually try a leg but still way out of shape.

Folk have been moaning about Morelos' shape/weight since he got here.  Easy enough to shed a few pounds if the desire is there. 

 

And the desire is what it's all about.

Yes would agree , certainly no more than 20,000.

The published attendances are always based on tickets sold and not people actually in seats.

Morelos looks to me unfit and out of condition 

I thought he looked sharper on Saturday from what I seen on tv (low bar of course), had a few good link-ups from deep, certainly noticed him more than Colak who was pretty anonymous. Just a feeling that Beale will go to try to get Morelos onboard straight away and show him he wants him.

I hope you actually mean 1970.
