Thought he was brilliant first half of season but I think it’s clear now that it took such a monumental effort from him to reach that level & he’s now got nothing left in the tank.
He’s been poor since Christmas really. |  |

I've said elsewhere, he's been too slow in every respect for a number of games now. He needs a rest. We need to start Cajuste and Philips for a few games. |  | | |

Hard to make a case for him as a starter at the moment. He has lost his bite. In KM's preferred double pivot midfield you need two very strong players with PL knowhow. Finishing the game with Taylor and Morsy contributed to the defeat. Start Phillips and Cajuste, use Morsy as a finisher. Challenge Phillips, Cajuste, Godfrey, O'Shea, Axel to lead. | | | |

Yes. It was evident to me when he didn’t start at Brentford that he have more dynamic options. KM’s been way too ponderous in this one, unfortunately as he was on Muric. | | | |

As per Mullet's observation, he was a passenger for bth goals.
My view is that he'd be far more effective in later stages of a game. He's too slow, needs too many touches and he slows our moves down whilst being left for dead by most younger Premier League midfielders. |  |

He is beginning to look like he is better suited to coming on to shore up a slight lead rather than play the 90mins. |  |

Not cooked, just playing above his level, he couldn't get in a championship side when we bought him. Fair play to him he's done his best and been brilliant for the most part but it doesn't help he has very little support around him this season. | | | |

He’s been incredible for us , we wouldn’t be where we are without him and he still has flashes where he looks as if he belongs in the premier league. In answer to your question though “yes”. Definitely the right move to keep him as our captain and to begin this season with him as a regular starter but the time has come to look to the future. He has a part to play this season but it’s becoming increasingly clear that if we’re going to have any chance of staying up we need to look at other options. He just hasn’t got a good 90 minutes in him at this level. | |

He has been brilliant for us and MOTM almost every game in league1. Not up to it now though. Too slow, doesn't get play going, every midfield in the premier league just plays through him. Thought Philips was our best player against Liverpool and then he doesn't play him in the most crucial game of the season. | | | |

The trouble is the other options we have aren't good enough.
If Phillips was a better option than Morsy he'd have been playing every week when fit, but he hasn't been.
Morsy struggles to do the things he did so easily in L1 and the Champ. His trademark pirouette wasn't really coming off yesterday and when he can't drive past players and use his strength effectively, it does leave him a bit limited.
Yeah you could put Phillips in there, but he wouldn't even be trying that same move as Morsy, he'll recycle possession nicely all day but I think he'll be just as limited in driving us forward and actually hurting teams. I might be proved wrong but I still see Morsy as a more effective option overall. It could improve us defensively but a much bigger issue is our creativity and finishing IMO. |  |

Pains me to say it, as I really have a soft spot for him, but he won’t be a premier league starter next season regardless of our placing in the league. |  |

Unfortunately, I think so. Phillips and Cajuste seem to be knacked after 70 minutes also. A real problem for us and one I hope can be sorted by 11pm tomorrow. |  |

As most have said, makes sense for him to finish out the games with Cajuste and KP starting. |  | | |

Agree with views on here, but boy, how difficult is it to drop your captain,
If MA isn’t already looking for a replacement going forward anyway, he wants shooting. Every player has his day, and sadly as much as I love Morsy, I think his time is approaching fast. |  |

Tias is the problem. He's being picked for his leadership skills rather than how he performs on the pitch.
Are we a quiet team? Is there no one else who could step up to the role of on pitch captain? | |

I agree but I think that you could argue that with most of the team tbh. This league is relentless and it takes a monumental effort each week just to compete. A couple of percent off and we have no chance on any given game. It’s getting harder each week.
I’ve said it before but failing to future proof our midfield was one of the biggest failings of our summer recruitment. | |

All our midfielders who start the games look cooked around the 65/70 minutes mark.
Cajuste yesterday was the same, dynamic first half and then 2nd half starting from 60 mins he stayed predominantly around the centre circle.
Compare that with Aribo who never stopped all game. He even had to play as a CH for a short period after the sub CH was also subbed. Even in extra time he never stopped running |  | | |

I thought O'Shea stood in well for him as captain. | | | |

Why can’t Cajuste last 90 minutes?
He does look class and glides past players.
Phillips to do the heavy work, Cajuste to pull the strings.
Still the question what is wrong with his fitness level? | | | |

To be fair a lot of sh**e around him and a defence and a keeper like a sieve. | | | |

Brentford pulled out of the running to sign him because of this knee issue.
The fact that 6 months later he's still managing it makes me wonder what the problem was in the first place.
Feels like Camara all over again | |

Even when he's played well (at this level and the Championship), he's always had the issue with speed of thought/movement/pass and now it's properly caught up with him.
Quite a few players look like they've been run into the ground to be honest - the physicality of the division is taking its toll on us quite a bit I fear. |  |

Here's the thing.. Morsy starts more premiership games compared to Cajuste and Phillips due to his durability.. he's able to keep himself fit and that's the difference..
Cajuste was brought in with an existing knee issue, which has had to be managed... Phillips has not been fit enough either and spent a time out of the team after his undeserved red card against Leicester... Morsy, is admittedly limited compared to both Cajuste/Phillips, but stays fitter and therefore available over both of them...
We should have strengthened in midfield, as opposed to wide areas and the number 10 role in the summer and Jan | | | |

Morsy has been an absolute hero to me since he has been here. In fact the only player I’ve really loved since Marcus Stewart was here.
But he just hasn’t got the legs for the Premier League.
There. I’ve said it. Feels terrible. | | | |

What does this say for today’s footballers? Fit young men who train day in day out,play on snooker tables unlike in past years when there was only one sub playing on a mud patch and we are saying players can’t last 90 mins🙄 | | | |

What leads?? He is still a better option than Phillips who has offered next to nothing | | | |
