Cardiff boss Slade: West Ham's Morrison needs to play smarter

Cardiff City boss Russell Slade is disappointed with the efforts of on-loan West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison.

Morrison has yet to start a match under him after joining on a three-month loan deal and seems highly unlikely to have a future at the club beyond Boxing Day when he returns to London.<> "Ravel has the ability and everybody says that," said Slade.

"Sometimes, though, he doesn't use that ability in areas you want him to.< p> "We are willing him to show us that ability in the final third where you can hurt the opposition rather than picking it up off the back four."
