    Obviously with him being injured recenty my following point disregards the recent injury. Honestly though, despite my love for kyogo (like everyone else), I cannot ignore the fact the goals per minute ratio is surely in the favour of Giakoumakis.

    We find ourselves domestically and in europe where chances are at a plenty but the goals are not. For me the goal scorer should be first choice. Both score goals but surely statistically GG is the better return. From there it's up to kyogo to prove he can provide a better goal return

    There’s an argument for him to be starting next Tuesday. Although Kyogo played well tonight he had a few headers you’d have preferred to fall to GG coupled with the fact we’re creating loads and not converting and arguably even more important Leipzig are all big lumps and GG is physical enough to deal with them.

    There a very strong argument for him starting next Tuesday..... Unfortunately our manager doesn't see it that way

    GG for St Johnstone, Kyogo for Leipzig.

    I am with you there. Feel he needs the start and hopefully he can bag himself a goal if he does.

    Link up play was terrible but might be down to lack of game time. Done what good strikers do in the end.

    He never let's us down, there when we needed him in the end, brilliant from the big man.

    Think his lack of games recently showed, was really poor but pops up when we need him most as all good strikers do

    Awful performance but thank * he popped up at the end there. I don't think he completed a single pass today and * up so many of our attacks.
