    Brilliant again as CB. He's been good there last couple weeks. Just that penalty shout in Partick everyone got on his back for some reason.

    What a masterstroke from Brendan, we really shouldn't be surprised and well done Nir, glad to see you looking happy and confident on the pitch again.

    Sounded like it to me too and why the * not :biggrin:

    Don't think any of our players would give Napoli too much trouble mate, I wouldn't pick Bitton out and give him a hard time.

    The gamble paid off. But make no mistake, playing him at centre-back tonight was a gamble.

    Credit where it's due. Still don't believe he's a suitable choice for CB but performed admirably tonight and played out his skin.

    Feel a bit sorry for him at times. Even tonight the crowd was on his back at the slightest mistake. Played well though, especially when you consider he's only recently been thrown in there and that it isn't his natural position.

    Brendan pointing to him and encouraging fans to clap in front of him at full time tonight tells you all you need to know about how he rates him. That is good enough for me as he is in a front row position to judge and see the attributes this guy has on a daily basis.

    As one person said earlier, simply a very good footballer who is now also proving to be versatile.

    Never been happier to be wrong. Was very vocal that I did not want him at CB last night. I am happily eating crow. And it's tasty too.
