Emilio Izaguirre

i think the subbing of izzy was completely tactical ,br had set up wrong for the tactics used against us that day and changed quickly to fix this , this is why he played the next game and every one since ,if he was so bad then br would not use him ,someone else would fill in till kt gets back ,
i was also correct that rogic subbing was not to do with fittness and was a tactical thing , br is not rutheless ,he will give players a chance to shine ,look at ambrose ,he got lots of game time despite 80% screaming for his head ,why ?because brendan sees a good pro in him and would have had intel from staff , could see there is a player there but was lacking confidence, and that fans were not willing to let him regain it here ,so he put him out the team for his own good for that reason.

 

Izzy has been looking back to his best again. Certainly going forward, for sure. If only he had competition for his place over the last couple of years. I wouldn't be confident of walking straight back into the side if I was Keiran Tierney.

 

Doing well mate but KT is the better player.

 

He's awful at defending but good going forward.

 

Thought he was the worst player on the park first half, which is some going because Lustig was horrendous.

So badly out of position it wasn't even funny.

Picked up in the second half though.

 

Love the guy but not good enough. KT can't be available soon enough.

 

I thought he was terrific today.

 

His crossing wasn't the best today. I tend to agree with whomever said that, when KT crosses, he has a target in mind, while Izzy tends to rely on simply getting it into the danger area and hoping someone's there.

 

Hia energy and will to win was top class today.

How anyone thought he was the worst player on the field in the 1st half is beyond me.

Great shift.

 

Was at fault for the goal,ball watching and again later on,but they seemed to target his side,needed a bit more help

 

Sleeping for the huns goal but other than that I thought he played well. He has some engine on him.

 

I thought he was one of the better players today - don't understand the criticism. Kept the ball moving and always made himself available.

 

Horrific first half. Better second. Still not good enough to be first choice.

Haste ye back KT!

 

I would that goal was lustigs fault, he was sleeping when miller strolled past him to tap it in. And before all that someone else gave the ball away

I thought izzy along with Armstrong were our best players in the first half. He played really well and defended well for the most part.

 

Sold the goal but great going forward. Quite an amazing 'back-up' option.

 

He had a great 2nd half but the whole first half he was caught wrong side of their winger or not tight enough so a long switch cut us open time and time again

 

I think it's nonsense to say he was at fault for their goal. Sviatchenko lost the ball that initially put us under that pressure.

 

Sviatchenko did cause the goal. Absolutely but Izaguirre fell asleep and lost his man as well. I don't think Tierney would have let that cross come over.

 

Absolutley.

I'd need a replay of that goal , but naw can't be izzys fault.

 

him and erik were all over place first 30 mins
