    He really should get more game time.

    Would love for him to settle back down and commit to us, he's so strong and dangerous in the box when he's on form. Hoping there's still a chance.

    Unlucky not to score, was brilliant when he came on.

    Want him to get more game time.

    He's too good to be a back up striker.

    Don't blame him for being restless.

    Far far better when he came on today. Very unlucky not to get a double.

    Thought he was excellent when he came on today. If he played like that every time he got a chance then Ange would have to give him more game time.

    Could have had a hat trick, that shot on the turn that he hit straight at the keeper.

    His inconsistent touch and passing frustrate the life out of me but he imposes himself on games so much better than Kyogo imo.

    Kyogo can be a ghost for 80 minutes and pop up with a goal. While that's a great quality to have, I can't help but feel that we're a more dangerous side for longer periods of the game when Giakoumakis is playing. I've felt this for a while.

    Basically Giakoumakis should play more. If he wants to leave we need to replace him with someone who can also influence the game in the same way. I love Kyogo, but he's just been a poacher this season.

    I like both of them,.they are both excellent players, but the old adage stands true, goals win games, and kyogo is getting goals

    Agree with pretty much all of this at times in a roundabout way. Even when it contradicts things I've said on both..

    When Jackie's like that today....he's too hot to handle..

    Kyogo’s our main man and class but he does go missing too much in games..

    His touch and link up play are streets ahead of Jackie..

    Jackie makes more happen in and around him though when he's on the pitch. Deffo more involved, even when he isn't touching the ball..

    Two massively different strikers and that's why it's worked so well up til this point (where it now seems Jackie wants away)..

    Undoubtedly and really picked up since the restart..

    You could argue though that if Jackie was starting and the main man....he'd be banging them in as well..

    He isn't starting and knows he's backup..

    Great effort for someone who's supposedly on the verge of leaving. Can't fault his attitude on the pitch and would loved to have seen him bang one in, header was so close. Think it would be a mistake to lose him, even more so if we don't have a replacement for his goals and overall input.

    I hope they resolve this and GG stays. I can't see another player coming in to play second fiddle to Kyogo.
    It was GG's brute strength and forcefulness that helped get Kyogo's equaliser at Ibrox.

    Give Giakoumakis the game time Kyogo gets and he'd get just as many goals. He's proven this already

    Well it's just his misfortune that we play one striker and Kyogo is in form and scoring every week. GG isn't and until he starts finding the net he has no claim to be starting over Kyogo.

    Sadly think it's inevitable he leaves, now.

    Hopefully get the replacement right. We are already a side that lacks physicality, losing him would take away even more.
