    Was more like his old self tonight popped up all over the right hand side, some of the combination play between Johnston, Yang and O’Riley was really good.

    Him and Yang nearly linked up really well a couple of times.

    Fantastic tonight, makes such a difference having Yang and AJ beside him and Iwata behind him. You can easily see how much AJ benefitted from playing with Yang but I think O'Riley did nearly just as much. He draws in so many players and frees up space and O'Riley is smart enough to find the positions left open.

    Looked like he was hobbling when leaving the pitch.

    More good news.

    Great finish for the goal but shat out of a lot of 50/50's and didn't seem up for it at all..

    I’ve seen milk turn quicker . An obvious sale in the summer to raise funds for the rebuild.

    Everybody is talking about the red card, and the penalty decision.

    But in what * world was his tackle a foul? Early on in the game he slid in and won the ball and conceded a foul for it.

    An absolutely * bullshit decision. Cheating orange * referee.

    Clean as a whistle and the * gives a foul.

    Modern football can get tae *.

    Can’t see us getting anywhere near £20-25m for him based on current form. He’s been absolutely brutal and was our worst player today.

    Blows hot and cold. Still think he's class though.

    Aye.

    Complete nonsense. It's making me really question the game tbh. Was speaking to my da about it tonight.

    You can't * do anything now without it being reviewed or "excessive force".

    If he follows through onto the man...where else is he to go? Was a fine tackle. Eventually tackling just won't be a thing.

    No chance he was worse than Taylor or Maeda mate. Basically everything good for hearts came down their side.

    Nonsense. The rubbish spouted in here is ridiculous sometimes. He’s been far and away our best player all season ( and it isn’t even close).
    If the reports are correct he’s been sick most of the week. I’d like to see anyone in here run the length of themselves whilst having the flu/cold/whatever never mind played a professional football game.

    He has 25+ goal contributions already this season, which is vastly more than any of his last seasons already. We’ve knocked away 20mil+ bid from European giants and there’s daily reports of more interested him. Yet, he has a few off games and people on the forum are saying he’s our worst player etc etc
