Great servant but we have better players in the squad now and it's time for Pulis to start utilizing them.
Have to disagree SirMegson, who have we got better in that role?
Great servant has nothing to do with it either, he's still the one consistent creative central midfielder we've got, everyone else is either defensive or better suited to the flanks. Chadli is the obvious alternative, I liked him when he first came but he's seriously blotted his copy book deciding not to go to Austria and clearly has issues with TP.
Nothing wrong with the starting XI it was how they were utilised, and IMO Morrison is in it on merit
Off the pitch issues aside Chadli is clearly a better player than Morrison is now, and not including Chadli if he's fit and just because of these off the pitch issues is cutting our nose off to spite our face.
My point with utilizing the squad better is highlighted with Chadli also as he's often been wasted playing out on a flank instead of in the hole behind Rondon where he could do the most damage. Quite possibly why theres been a run in with TP?
I'm not saying Morrison should be never played again, just that I find he's one of a few players who never seen to get a rollicking off the fans for a poor display when he has one.
I too disagree Mego. Morrison is a better all round player than Chadli. £13m wasted in my opinion.
The only waste was spending that money on an attacking midfielder and playing him on the wing. Hasn't been given a chance to play for a consistent run of games in his preferred position since he signed for us.
