You'll need to ask Gio that question. I fully expected Arfield to be in the team ahead of Tillman..Who did we play in this position against Hearts it was Arfield who did we play tonight nobody.
Yes he didn’t have a great game, but I think it’s unfair on a 20 year old the drivel being flung his way.Would not be spending anything close to 6 million to sign him on a permanent deal, heart of a mouse and comes across extremely lazy. Don’t usually agree with much that Gio does but he’s done the right thing by binning him early from previous starting 11’s
This...Tillman is a number 10. We don't play with a 10 in Europe, so he gets shoe horned in to a wider role, something that has happened to many "attacking midfielders" in the past.
There is no excuse though for his application. He got the jersey, that so many players would want. Playing for Rangers at Anfield in the Champions League.
Time for him to show some grit and determination. We all remember Stevie G saying "Joe Aribo shows no ego" when he got shunted to left back and gave us a shift.
Tillman has bags of talent, but its time to stop looking like a typical pampered modern day academy player, and show everyone he can perform week in week out.
He was the greatest thing since sliced bread on here last month.Would not be spending anything close to 6 million to sign him on a permanent deal, heart of a mouse and comes across extremely lazy.

Don’t talk nonsense. He’s had some very good games already for us. Don’t rewrite history and Chuck the toys out just because we were beaten by Liverpool.Garbage but equally hung out to dry - he’s never a right winger but the manager seems hellbent on shoehorning him into this position in European games despite every game played here so far, he’s been utter garbage
I would send him back asap.Would not be spending anything close to 6 million to sign him on a permanent deal, heart of a mouse and comes across extremely lazy. Don’t usually agree with much that Gio does but he’s done the right thing by binning him early from previous starting 11’s
Which good games has he played in Europe for us?Don’t talk nonsense. He’s had some very good games already for us. Don’t rewrite history and Chuck the toys out just because we were beaten by Liverpool.
I agree, he's a player. BUT he cannot maintain concentration and frequently gets caught on ball or worse waiting for it. Get rid.The lad’s a player…..playing him wide right is just bonkers. Although with Gio bonkers is standard issue
I posted this on the match thread but I’ll do so again.Would not be spending anything close to 6 million to sign him on a permanent deal, heart of a mouse and comes across extremely lazy.

He’s started ten games his whole career at senior level. Of course he will be up and down. Back the ladWhich good games has he played in Europe for us?
He scored against USG but was mince for the first 70 or so minutes.
Away to PSV was decent in small spells.
Ajax - disgrace
Tonight - awful
In Belgium - awful
Rather than trying to make excuses for a new player, call it as you see it.
SPL he’s looked ok. Europe nowhere near it
I was hugely worried by what I considered a lack of application in a pre match warm up in the Spurs friendly. I then thought, don’t be daft. But it’s manifesting now in nearly every major game we’ve played. How do you shift a players mentality to be hungry and full of desire? Because we need to do it with this ladFor weeks I’ve thought that Tillman has looked uninterested. I genuinely think he doesn’t want to be with Rangers and thinks he’s better than us. His effort, application and attitude on the pitch screams this out to me. The boy has some talent, no question, but he’s a waste of a jersey and was very much the wrong selection tonight.
He was 1 of a generally poor midfield tonight but for me it’s been evident for some time that he’s just not interested.
He’ll get my backing if selected but it doesn’t mean I won’t call it as I see it.He’s started ten games his whole career at senior level. Of course he will be up and down. Back the lad
Only when he can't be bothered. A machine sometimes and a wee girl others, which points to an attitude issue.For such a big guy he's so easily pushed off the ball.
We’ve played him as a wide right player. He’s been hung out to dry.Natural talent, but no effort, work ethic or tactical knowledge
3 big games he has looked utterly lost and didn’t even give the minimum of effort.
The Manager showing faith in him doesn't excuse his lack of effort in games.Our support are bonkers. He is 20 years old playing against one of the best teams in the world and he's playing out of position...it's the manager that needs looked at not him
This is exactly it, bags of ability and potential but not a guy you'd have in the trenches.Seems good on the ball but has no heart or desire or strength
Would send him back sooner rather than later
Lowry is twice the player
I was permanently banned for commenting that replacing Aribo with a young loanee who had barely played professional football was utter madness. I stand by it.
I do think he has potential but he's never a straight replacement for Aribo. Our recruitment has been so poor recently.
Lawrence and Tillman was supposed to make up for the loss of Aribo.
I genuinely don't think he knew what he was supposed to be doing tonight. Seemed to just amble around taking up pointless positions.
