Ravel Morrison

[Ramarena]

He’s always had the talent, but he’s never been able to put a consistent run together for whatever reason.

Hopefully he can keep his performances at this level as the season drags on.

No mate, just whacked the chipolata out in the middle of the South Stand.

FTFY

Felt sorry for him when he kicked the ball out for a boro "injury" crowd went mad and you could see he was a bit pissed off by it. However the next time he had the ball he played a simple 10 yard pass to Byrne and the pass was greeted like the greatest pass the crowd had ever seen. The fans know he needs support and encouragement and it was epitomised by that 2 minute passage of play.

Also his no look pass to sibley in the first half was superb.

A very naturally talented footballer. Worth the admission alone. Far too good for this division. Lucky to have him. 

He's a real talent.

[DCFC1388]

Absolute quality player.

My only gripe with him is the number of times he finds him in acres of space but doesnt then attack the space infront of him with any purpose. When he does he looks quality, like in the play upto Birds chance, would like to see it more from him.

Jagielka was the same yesterday too, absolute quality but when he had space infront he didnt advance into he opted to pass to someone instead.

Wouldn’t it be lovely for us, the Club, and Ravel for it to work out properly and we get a few seasons out of him.

I presume you missed the next 3 minutes of the game.

Was there a 2 minute queue for the toilets?

Seriously?

Yeah they closed the road off but they opened it just for him and his mates. Stewards were also confused.

That number 7 though needs to have a look at himself. If you lie down unmoving (like that) and then spring up an sprint 50 yards 30s later and then next time one of his team mates could do something similar and is PROPERLY hurt, then Ravell or another of our players could be justified in ignoring that prone player assuming he’s a cheating barsteward.

Yep and he had to sing Happy Birthday while he washed his hands.

He was a gamble that not many sides would have taken. We didn't really have too much choice.

I hope he comes good and I'm glad he has started his career well with us. But if he stays fit and features in every game, then before the end of January, we'll become the club he has appeared for the most in his career. He's 28 years old.

I still have some concerns, for example a few days before he signed, posting a story and unfollowing the Club on social media etc. It sounds minor, but I would be worried that he might still fly off the handle like he has with other teams, because we really can't afford any player to do that this season.

However I'll judge him on his performances and conduct for Derby only, and it's so far so good, so right now I'm glad we have a player with the quality of Ravel Morrison.

[Rosythram]

So many Man U players have intimidated that he was a cut above when he was younger.

Lets hope he’s got all his inner demons out of the way and just wants to enjoy playing.

If he has then all things being equal DCFC could be the benefactor!

[angieram]

He's a classy footballer. What I pay my admission money for.

You can keep your Matt Crookses and Ryan Yateses. 

Even if we get bullied occasionally,  I still want to see us try and play football the right way. For me, that's what Morrison does. Hope he goes from strength to strength with us.

 

[EtoileSportiveDeDerby]

Was in the same youth team as Pogba at Manure and rated the better one of these two, so quality ought to be there. If Wayne manages to get his head in the right place, we definetely got a player capable of influencing the game and tempo. Great start, Long may it continue.

[Premier ram]

Hope Rav stays injury free , him and Bielik in the middle is a moutwatering prospect

[KBB]

Can always tell a good player by their weight of pass. Hughes has it, Thorne had it and Ravel has it.

His ball to bird after the little stop drag turn was weighed perfectly, you so often see them over or under hit slightly and bird sidnt have to break stride. Shame it didnt end in a goal.

I loved the way Boro refused to play on while Jagielka was treated for the cut to his head that their player inflicted.... oh, hang on, they didn't, did they? 

I wish the players would just play to the referee's whistle. It's his job to stop play for serious injuries, not theirs.

I am simply going to believe that Wayne and Ravel get on well and that Ravel will enjoy being a fans favourite whilst enjoying his football.

I totally agree. He shouldn’t have kicked the ball out. Their player was clearly not injured. There was more chance of me getting hurt in my apoplectic rage. Hate stuff like that - it is cheating. Feigning injury and pretending you are dead is just embarrassing and should be a yellow card in my book.

Can't blame players for erring on the side of player safety. The ref should had dealt with the situation more clearly, if he thought the player wasn't hurt book him for time-wasting.
