AJF Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 52 minutes ago, Jinky67 said: We will always favour our own that goes without saying however saying a player who has a better goals to game record than the “supposed” best striker in the league is a bit of a stretch and i found that funny. I assume there is nothing wrong with that? Roofe has a better goal ratio than Morelos, but that doesn’t make him better, does it? Stats only get you so far and the “eye-test” is more credible, and Kyogo fails that test when compared with Morelos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what is made up about that as it’s the main way of judging a players ability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Haven't 5 of Kyogo's goals come against bottom of the table Dundee? As much as I've ripped the piss out of Morelos, to claim Kyogo is the better player is tenuous at best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t my argument, i came into this with a retort to you saying Kyogo was shite, i just posted he is more prolific than Morelos which is factually accurate. Does that make him better? That’s subjective based on what you prefer from a striker my only purpose here is to counter your initial post 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik's tongue Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Young Half Man Half Haircut is about as prolific against Celtic as Kris Boyd was for the old dead club. Fucking rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'd rather have Morelos in my team than Kyogo, but I bet they'd work amazing played together. "Who's better" depends on what you want from a striker really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 No8 was utterly obsessed by the Boyd v Larsson debate. Boyd was obviously a more effective seal clubber but utterly failed against Celtic and in Europe. Larsson from my vague recollection managed to score in OF games and regularly in Europe. Kyogo Vs HalfHeid is the Tesco value version of Larsson v Boyd tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
