    Really?

    I honestly don't remember him doing much right. Sclaffed a couple of good chances and hesitant on the break. Didn't see anything there to get excited about.

    Fluffed too many chances, but credit for scoring both penalties. Hopefully he improves.

    Haha knew there would be folk still unhappy with him after that. Can’t please some folk. Done more than Kyogo in 120 mins as he’s done in 3 months. 2 brilliant pens, which as we all know we desperately needed. Got himself in the right places too. Yes he misses a cpl of chances but they were hardly sitters. Will score plenty in this half of the season. What a debut start.

    Good signing, has presence and physicality and I actually feel he’s fairly intelligent from the bits we’ve seen so far.

    Nerves of steel. Puts himself about and can hit a pen. Needs work on his touch and finishing. Should have another couple.

    Balls to take two pressure penalties knowing he's the new guy and would get ridiculed forever had he missed them.
    Has a bit of the Samaras about him, clumsy, difficult to play against and likes to score penalties.

    He can hit a pen, that in itself is worth something.

    I like him, you can see he’s not a natural finisher but he has work rate, power and pace and some nice touches. Plenty to work on anyway.

    Great physique and brilliant composure, but he doesn't look anything close to a natural finisher, which is just not what a club like ours needs for a starting striker. Hopefully that's just down to rustiness. Big man bailed us out tonight.

    He’s a good player and fair * to him for keeping his nerve. He had the weight of millions of supporters on his shoulders there and buried it.

    He should’ve had the ball in the back of the net 5 times tonight though. That’s an issue. He needs to be sharper in front of goal.

    Overall, the best signing we’ve made in a long time.

    Brilliant at penalties, just don't ask him to score outwith.

    Needs to improve big time but maybe that'll give him confidence and he's just in door.

    He’s very much like Oh.
    Constantly busy but not ruthless enough outside of penalties

    If you don’t count Jota and CCV from last season there’s an argument he’s the best signing we’ve made in the past 2 seasons. Palma, Mooy and Bernardo is all he’s up against. Mooy is the best clearly but Idah is one of the best signings we’ve made imo. Better than 95% of the shower of * we’ve signed from the backarse of world football

    First start in fairness pal. I wouldn’t be too critical on him, away from home and the football was poor again from us. Time will tell.

    Seen him enough for Ireland to know he won’t be that clinical.
