Saint-Armstrong Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 With the game against Ipswich being Morgan's 250th for the club, and with him unlikely (most probably) to hit 300 - I thought it'd be worth a little recap.

Rasiak-9- Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 Any time the skinny, handsome lad from France who's surely supposed to be a pussy flies into a tackle with all the ******** of a third-division, wide-as-he-is-tall centre half and ten times the technique. Awesome player. His crossfield diagonals to Clyne sprinting up level with the right side of the opposing penalty area always look great (especially from where we sit near the Itchen North; looking straight down the barrel!).

SuperMikey Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 Watching Morgan mature into the classy, creative midfielder in the Championship season was glorious. I remember the boxing day game against Crystal Palace in 11/12 when he intercepted the ball on the edge of the area, turned and pinged a perfect 60 yard crossfield pass right onto Steve de Ridder's right boot. Given that it went to de Ridder nothing f*cking happened after he received the ball, but it was still a glorious moment for me and a sign of his potential.

Charlie Wayman Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 By far the most creative mid-fielder we have ever had. I loved the kid from the first time he walked out in a Saints shirt. Every single touch has been a lasting memory. Can't see any reason why he would want to leave us right now except that a change of scene can be as good as a tonic in any situation. Fair enough if he decides 250 games is it. He should be on our Legends banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big grins all round in the back rows of the away end that night as the goals kept flying in. A few days after the scrappy 1-0 win at Barnsley this was the game when the realisation hit that we are actually going to do quite well in this league.

a1ex2001 Posted 5 January, 2015 Share Posted 5 January, 2015 Good to see a reasonably positive thread, still a few idiots floating around! It's easy to forget just how good he is as his good work goes so under the radar with all the summer exodus I can't believe the only bid we received from him was a pittance from Spurs he is exactly the player Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd have been looking for! What ever happened to that chap that cam along on loan to keep him company when he first arrived? Used to love it when we signed a random friend for forign imports (Pahars and Delgado's buddies being woeful!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 5 January, 2015 Share Posted 5 January, 2015 (edited) Burnley away 2011 - we were getting overrun in the middle, should have been trailing and not looking like leaders. Morgan came on and was the best player on the park, even getting the equaliser. People talk about the Ipswich scoop but forget the larger point that Morgan was only a sub in that game and that Hammond/Cork was Adkins preferred combo. It was only after the Burnley game that Morgan began to pull away with the starting CM spot and the rest is history.

The9 Posted 5 January, 2015 Share Posted 5 January, 2015 Ha, I'll take having this opinion back then: "Sounds like we played him in defensive midfield then. He set up a goal against Exeter in the League Cup with an excellent through ball as well, though I'm not sure it was actually the last pass. Just another example of a good player made to look poor by the lack of quality around him. He can't head, he's not the greatest tackler, but he can pass all day and he sees options in advanced roles - when there's someone to actually pass to that is. God knows why we've ended up playing him at DM when he should be playing in the hole. I'd rather Wotton as a DM, and Schneiderlin much more advanced. " At the time, that was exactly what we needed. I'd go as far to say he was pants at DM until we got to the Championship. I'm also happy with this: "Gasmi's quite decent actually, skilful, puts effort in, creative too. But he's a loanee, isn't he ? - EDIT, and leaving. Oh well. Smith is one footed and shoite, like a bloody terrible version of Fabrice Fernandes. Already found his level and now dragging the rest of the club down to it. Pulis is just "meh" and I hope I never have to see him in the first team. All indications are that he brings nothing, though I don't think I've seen him play. Pekhart was and is miles better than McGoldrick in touch, distribution, heading, awareness and speed, with much quicker feet, all of which he showed on his debut, but he clearly got p1ssed off with McGoldrick getting games ahead of him and getting shunted out wide and stopped trying. Molyneux didn't look very good in the one match I've seen him either, but that's not much to go on" I stand by the Pekhart > McGoldrick statement, especially after yesterday - even if I did backtrack on it a bit in 2012 before I found out where Pekhart was playing (which was Nuremburg in the Bundesliga at the time).
