Don't know what people want from Morrison, consistenly our best player over the past five years, yet open to severe (and I mean severe) criticism when he does not show sparkling form.
The whole team has not played well for months yet everyone wants to jump on someone or other, its a team game, either the whole team gets criticised or none.
And if you want me to name one player who really should be given a rest, or dropped, then that player is Olsson.
I think that's a bit of a over reaction concerning the criticism Morrison has received over the last few months. Yes, the team has been overall poor over the second half of the season, with certain individuals receiving justifiable criticism. For example, Olsson has took a lot and rightfully so. He is one of few players who we expect to perform at the consistently high standards he has set over the last four years at the club. From the first 20/25 games of the season, Olsson's performances were no lower than a 7/8 out of 10.
Morrison is one of these players who we expect to perform due to the incredibly high standards we know he is more than capable of. He is an excellent player who, in his best position, can pick passes, find space and most importantly, chip in with 6/7 goals a season from midfield. However, in the second half of the season he has sometimes been put out on the wing, or a more regimented right midfield spot in a 4 4 2 that could contribute partly to his poor form. He has shown periods in the last 20 games where he has been too lightweight, gone missing in important games, with his assists and goals drying up significantly.
I think as one of our most important players and arguably our most technically gifted, the constructive criticism that has been dished in his direction is completely fair. Hopefully his form wil return come the start of next season.
