romanticscot Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I like Morgan alot,and reckon he will be involved soon, the MLS season starts next week and unfortunately for him, the distance is a factor for him with Covid bla bla. He is more suited to the formation over Forrest IMO and can play in a few positions. Edited March 23, 2021 by romanticscot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I dont think Morgan will ever be at the level we need to push us forward. Decent player who will do well in the USA. Im also struggling to see that Mikey Johnson has what it takes to make the step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 He would be in my squad. He was Inter Miami's MVP (POTY). Since the squad includes Higuain and Matuidi, it's quite an achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is of course possible that he and Hendry have improved since leaving a shite set up at Parkhead. And it would also be possible to argue that Johnston hasn't progressed for the same reason, hell you could easily use the same argument for Christie's decline this season.

Malcolm Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Morgan, Johnson, wouldn’t make my squad, Christie isn’t playing well and would merit a squad place only just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you like about Brendan Rodgers, he's an excellent coach. I mean, anyone who can almost make Oli Burke look like a footballer must have a gift!

Fairbairn Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Is Johnny Russell still playing out in the States? He seems to have fallen off the radar recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that as a Hearts fan but he was brilliant at developing players. He played more Scots than Lennon did and certainly more than Gerrard does. Although maybe Gerrard gets the benefit of the doubt due to being newer to the role and the pressure of immediate success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still there and has been made captain of his club this season. He’s lost out recently due to travelling/quarantine issues. Id have him in the squad, can play any where along the front line and unlike Burke can control a football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player improved under Lennon and a lot went backwards. Personally, I thought Morgan was poor for the u21s and every time I watched him for Celtic - most of which were under Rodgers. I'm not sure looking good in that league changes my opinion. Russell looked good in that league. I'd be thrilled if Morgan and Johnston could do what Hendry has done and prove me wrong. I'm more than happy to do that with players. I ruled Copper out in the past but I think he deserves a place in the squad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Strachan had his best run it was because he filled the team with Celtic players. We were starting matches with Gordon, Mulgrew, Tierney, Brown, Armstrong, Forrest and Griffiths while Celtic were playing great football under Rodgers. I still think not bringing inform Callum McGregor through was one of the major reasons Strachan ended up losing his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
