Tomoki Iwata

No question the flow of the game changed in our favour at that point.

 

No doubt about it. Clearly McGregor is a ways off being fully fit. Iwata really should start next weekend.

 

He gives the two in front a solid platform. I do wonder if McGregor is also looking more exposed because he doesn't have the fullbacks inverting as much as he did under Ange.

 

Think it's not only McGregor it's affecting. Having inverted FBs also helped the CBs move the ball out from the back. Would probably have helped Scales massively this season.

 

Very true. You mark McGregor and options are very limited.

 

Thought he looks decent when he came on.

Was rapid as * and busting a lung to get us up the park at one point.

 

He was the smart sub to bring a bit more composure into the middle and fresh legs. Very good player to have in our squad.

 

We still got this lad ?

If we have, I wonder if Callum will play further forward with hatate if Matt leaves which sadly I'm sure he will, I always liked Callum in an attacking midfield role and he's a good striker of the ball.

Or Callum stays as deep lying playmaker with Bernardo coming in

 

Aye, I really like him and can't remember him ever having a bad game not sure the manager thinks as highly of him sadly.

Definitely thought he was the midfielder to bring on last Sunday when hibs were coming into the game later on.

 

He's excellent to have in the squad, always reliable off the bench or when McGregor is injured. 7/10 every game

 

Hearts away last year? Remember him having a shocker. But yeah other than that he's fairly solid

 

Forgot about him. He's not been involved at all has he? Injured does anyone know?

 

I don't mind Iwata. He's absolutely fine as a squad player and quite happy to have him come on in the final 3rd of a game to give McGregor a rest if we are coasting.

Certainly wouldn't be trying to upgrade on him this season but wouldn't be against upgrading at DM in the next couple of transfer windows and moving him on.

 

He did but down to 10 men early doors and at times was left playing midfield himself as o'riley was drifting top far to the right to fill Yangs place but aye he was poor on the ball too that day.

Would like to see him get a proper run with Mcgregor in the team, always seems to be in when Cal is out

 

I thought he’d been on the bench both games this season? Just not came on.

 

Pretty sure your right there.

 

Hearing murmurs he could be off?

 

He won't be off unless we're confident of at least one in
