    However, he is the best option at present. No doubt.

    I'm not really a fan of Rodgers, and can't understand why Iwata isn't getting game time, but to be fair Ange did exactly the same thing.

    Still think Iwata should be playing regularly in midfield. What the * to Ange and Brendan know anyway? Pair of Muppets in my book.

    He will be another 'what if' player. If Calmac wasn't there then he would play every week easy. Feel like were wasting a big talent here. Agree with the poor management of him

    It's becoming obvious that we only have him for 2 scenarios:
    1. CalMac is out
    2. We have a lead, we're under pressure and we need to bring on a second DM to steady the ship.

    Really like the look of him and think he would do well given a run in the team, but doubt he will get that.

    I'd be starting him on Tuesday. If that's not the game for him then he'll never start

    Really tough one to chuck him into, if he had a few games under his belt aye but as it is he’s not match fit. Through no fault of his own.

    100% has to start on Tuesday.

    Bernardo hasn't shown enough
    Holm is decent but very young and can be a bit rash
    Turnbull disappears more in europe than madeline mccann.

    Putting Tuesday aside, would love to see him get more game time.

    A game like yesterday is made for him playing and McGregor being rested.

    Rodgers stated in a recent interview that Turnbull, Holm and Bernardo vying for Hatates spot. Which is desperately unfortunate for Iwata because he is effectively waiting on Cal Mac to get tired/injured/rested to get a start. Although I dont know if that was just for the games vs Hibs/Ross County.

    I really think we would benefit from playing two deeper lying midfielders vs Atletico.

    Gave us energy and played some good balls in behind.

    Maybe rotate him and CalMac, to get the best out of both. Cal needs the rest.

    He's quicker than I thought, quote agile with the ball as well.

    Hopefully he starts more after the break.

    He was pretty good when he came on albeit game was in the bag. But don't think he's ever put a foot wrong when called upon.

    You seen the energy that he injected into the game when he came on was brilliant.

    Honestly, I'd give him a run over McGregor.
