Morrell - TBP - 12-09-2021
1 draw and 2 defeats since he started. Not the player we were led to believe. It will be interesting to see him in the flesh.

Players are released for a reason I guess.

Very disappointing. Looks slow, as does Williams, although Williams at least looks skilful. Tunnicliffe also a bit ponderous. In fact, apart from Bazunu and Raggers the whole lot rather disappointing! What’s up with Ahadame? Looked great in pre-season, done nothing in the games so far and not surprisingly dropped. Hirst looks a donkey, Marquis his usual self. Harness had 2 or 3 men on him each time he got the ball. Looks like we need Azeez to come and sort us out. Next two games vital. PUP

Correct . Totally agree . They are out of contract or available for transfer for a reason

To be fair to Morrell, he's had a horrendous travelling schedule in the past week.
For me, it's another of about five poor starting selections in a very negative line-up by Cowley.

Starting line-up was even more questionable post-match when DC revealed that Williams had been ill, Morell was knackered etc. So why play them?

Looks like hatters Twitter has picked this thread up and they're enjoying our analysis

Cant understand why Louis Thompson didn't get a start myself. Outstanding in the week as well. The midfield of Williams, Tunni & Morrell is way too defensive as things stand.

I though first half Morrell looked too lightweight especially with Ricco looking rather out of his depth. Second half he seemed to be playing deeper and made some decent passes from there.
Until I saw him play live I did not realise how short he is either.
Very much a work in progress this team.

Would like to see him next to Azeez with Jacobs in the number 10 role. Also think Harrison deserves to start over Marquis but if Marquis is picked he needs to take his chances. Can see Morrell, Williams, Marquis and Tunicliffe out of the side if results don’t improve

At present Morrell looks like the butt plug in our midfield. For Wales he's playing with a Duracell powered Rabbit in Bale. No such luxury for Pompey.
