There’s Morelos too though. Has he earned a place over Hagi? Not for me, especially with how well Roofe has played centrally. 

But you're hardly objective when it comes to Morelos. ?

You're accusing Gerrard of picking players due to reputation rather than what they bring to the team? That he's not going to pick the team that he feels has the best chance of beating Celtic? Wow.

 

Or could it be that Gerrard sees things both in training and on the pitch that is beyond you and me and that he picks the teams that he believes will perform the best?

Gerrard hasn’t picked his team yet

I can hardly be accused of bias for saying I think Hagi has earned the shirt. That accusation would be more valid in the other direction, people being biased towards him. I see a lot of people saying Hagi is a certainty to drop out for Kent/Morelos and the reasons aren’t to do with current form and performances.

Thankfully team selection is down to Mr Gerrard, in whom we trust.

Davis is killing us in midfield.   Too many side passes and back passes from him.    But as a whole we have changed.   Too many tippy tippy passes no width .     We're less direct than we used to be.  We need to be far quicker up the park.

Yet, you will only see that against teams that sit deep or keep all our players covered. Kamara et al do it too, BTW, but somehow you need to draw the opposition out as well as finding a better angle. We did that last season too, difference now is that we have more potent options up front, options that convert a few of the chances we create.

 

On a sidenote, Davis does control the midfield as well as being excellent - despite his age - to cover positions, chasing people and lost cases, even dropping into a semi- CH half role every now and then yesterday. He`ll be  acert for Saturday, as will be Kamara, Aribo, Roofe, Morelos, and Kent instead of Hagi, I`d assume.

No but you can be accused of bias for your incessant criticism of Alfie. You even managed to have a go at him recently for a performance that you hadn't even seen at that point. You always pick him (or Kent) for criticism even if he's not the worst performer.

When? Any time I have commented on a game without having seen it I have made that known as a caveat, and have never made a comment beyond the scope of what I have seen. 
 

You are getting personal and it’s uncalled for. Argue with the content of my comments, that is what I do with others. I have no bias against a Rangers player, I call it as I see it and some don’t like that.

kent and alfie could certainly do better. unfortunately what we have in the wings can't or at least don't

We could play Roofe, Itten and Hagi as a front three.  Itten has a decent goal to game ratio and Hagi's end product is significantly better than Kent's.

 

I'd go with Roofe, Morelos and Hagi.
