    He's very much on his way to joining 90% of our other signing over the last 18 months on the * list

    I actually thought he was OK when it was 11 v 11, minute we went down to 10 he was awful.

    Said in an earlier post, I just don't think a change in system is causing his sudden drop of form, it's weird to see his form now compared to last season.

    I honestly don't think he's fully fit, he's came off two nasty injuries so it wouldn't be that unexpected.

    Same. Actually thought he was looking really good before they went ahead.

    Was honking from that point on. Should have been subbed well before the end.

    Must be struggling for fitness. A shell of the player he was last season.

    Juranovic, other than maybe one game, never showed much at all in the CL. Similar to Johnston, over hyped for what he was. That's the biggest issue.

    And also got caught wrong side for the 2nd. Absolute horror show tonight from him. Although, he has been absolutely murder since he came back this was atrocious.

    Was better than his last 3 games. Not that they were great.

    We haven't really. Came into a winning team and joined in and was overhyped.

    Good defensively at the start, but nothing more, meh to nonexistent going forwards but over praised. Got a bit better for a few games in attack, got injured, and been pants since then.

    Where did "the player" bit actually happen? Certainly not been close this season.

    In what way?

    He had a great wee 5/6 game spell going forward at one point, but that's it for me. Was utterly honking up to that point in attack but didn't seem to matter as he was a WC signing :39:.

    Been solid mostly defensively last season, but he's a confidence player and doesn't look confident now. Did look a lot better first 15 mins tonight, but then that went pretty quickly too.

    100%. He started bright and him and Maeda looked promising.
