    Typical Rodgers player, comfortable with the ball, can pass it and take it under pressure. His defending is also very good.

    Love the way he fires balls into feet. Once he gets up to speed with the physical side of the game he'll be excellent.

    Liked what I saw from him today. Good solid debut. Very comfortable on the ball, passed it well and he certainly is a big unit which we have needed a bit more of.

    Decent start for him. Only thing he needs to work on is his high ball game, i knew he wasn't great in the air beforehand looking at vids and stats etc. Defo needs to improve that part of his game in tbe spfl.

    He looks a big solid unit but I did notice that he was a bit iffy at high balls however, I think all of our defence needs to work on defending high balls as we are still suspect at crosses etc. coming into our area which teams will utilise.

    The straight ball over the top with spin in the first half to Maeda was genuine class, his range of passing is unbelievable for a 21 year old. He got used to the physical battle quick and only misplaced 1 pass. Another good one.

    I really like the look of him, think his style is similar to Starfelt only he has more of a passing range and is comfortable on the ball. I always thought Starfelt actually passed the ball well, just looked like a shitebag having to do it.

    Starfelt I felt was quicker though although we seen Starfelt in full flow in runs of games, Nawrocki probably not fully fit yet.

    Very promising. Great to see a left-footer LCB that's comfortable carrying the ball out from the back.

    Looked up for the physical battle too at set pieces.

    Sorry he’s 22, still very young for a centre back that’s so comfortable on the ball.

    It's turning into a formidable back line back to the days of O'Neill.

    Johnston, ccv, nawrocki ....Taylor as a backup but a no nonsense lb....Tierney would really solidify that line

    I was thinking he was 24/25. Looked very well established for 22. Think we might have a gem on our hands here

    Pretty sure his ariel ability will improve, he looks an intelligent player, composed on the ball, likes to pick out a pass and strides forward when ok to do so.

    Really impressive competitive debit from the lad. As other have said his composure and range of passing will be a huge asset for us and will save the likes of McGregor and O'Riley having to come deep to receive the ball and start attacks. Also an asset on the counter in Europe with Maeda and Kyogo making runs at pace.

    Good signing.

    Looks decent, will be bigger tests to come but dealt with anything that came his way.

    Was actually a good test for his competitive debut. Murray and White up front for them are two big units and probably one of the more dangerous front pairings in the League.

    Most of the other teams in the League dont really test you at the back and a lot only play 1 up and not many if any have as big a forwards.
