You've started it now...I was impressed with him, I think he can become a really big player for us.
Stats don't tell you everything.I think he’s got an 87% pass completion in all matches. He barely wasted a pass tonight and he showed he’s got the ability to mix it - opened up play with a couple of quick balls into wider areas. Certainly getting better.
I was derided for suggesting he had a good game at halftime. Strangely my interlocutor has logged off.Motm tonight, played really well as the deepest midfielder, should play there against Dundee.
Exactly mate, you put my point better than I did earlier.If you're still saying he was just 'okay' tonight then your mind is clearly made up on the guy and nothing will change it. Absolutely controlled that midfield.
Might not be as technically smooth as Davis, but I'd argue his power, strength and ability to win the ball back quickly will help him stand out in some matches Davis might struggle in.My MOTM tonight, great ball winner and normally has a good range of passing, isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as Davis - but very good in the role.
He’s going to be a good player for us.Thought he had a decent game tonight, a lot fitter with plenty energy and drive. Along with Balogun and Tavernier our best player tonight.
Brilliant tonight

His passing was mostly easy stuff and even then it was more hitting a cone than moving the game on.
That game was easy for a player in his position.
You may as well mention that our goalkeeper didn't put a foot wrong.
I don't like being critical and if JL can use tonight to kick on then I will be overjoyed.
I can't really argue with that other than to point out that Steven Davis in he same role can get the other midfield players playing.He was better than both Kamara and Aribo. He moved the ball more purposefully than Aribo did.
Think i was watching the same game as him. Lost the ball continuously first half and should’ve been booked for exactly the same tackle he got sent off for in Europe. Played better second half but too often slowed the pace down. Was hoping he’d turned a corner before this game but nothing convinced me that he’s going to be anything special for us. Hope very much he proves me wrong though.It would appear so.
