Steven Gerrard would have been extremely relieved after Ryan Kent’s shot hit the back of the net in the 77th minute against Ross County. The win ended a two-game losing streak for Rangers, their worst losing streak of the season.
However, there was one streak that didn’t end on the weekend. Alfredo Morelos has failed to score in the league since Boxing Day, 2019.
After the match, there were many Rangers fans who shared their frustrations at Morelos’ shortcomings in the league during the early stages of 2020. They think he deserves to be dropped outright for Florian Kamberi.
Morelos needs to sit out a few games and get his head right he just looked disinterested again today and isnt causing any problems to there back line so he is not contributing to the team would maybe start kamberi just now or maybe both up top to see if that helps

Kamberi however,should start as Morelos is an actual shadow of himself.

Morelos looks like he has given up. Shoot me down if you like but he needs to be dropped and Kamberi given a chance to start.

Rangers won the game… however you can’t be happy with that performance. Happy for Kent to score but the team looks like confidence is lacking massively. Think Morelos needs dropped, looks unfit and a shadow of the aggressive, lethal goalscorer from a few months ago….

Morelos gone in the summer.

4-2-3-1. Jack Arfield as the 2 CMs we miss both of them, hagi as the number 10 with 2 wingers and kamberi up top, morelos was a passenger today from what I seen

I’d seriously drop morelos for Kamberi

Who should start against Bayer Leverkusen?
Alfredo Morelos
Florian Kamberi
However, another fan points out that, while Morelos has been poor, there are many other players who deserve to be called out before him. Another thinks that fans are only hyping Kamberi up as much as they are because of how poor Morelos has been.
Can’t Be The Only One Who Thinks The Way Morelos Is Playing Is Getting Overreacted , players playing worse and not getting any stick

Morelos’ troubles seem to be inflating folk’s opinions on Kamberi. He tries, but is far from good enough to be a Rangers no.9 for a sustained period.

What do you think?
With a big match against Bayer Leverkusen coming up mid-week, Gerrard has a big decision to make.
Fans will have to wait until Thursday before they know if Kamberi comes in to replace the out of form Morelos in Europe.
