    Correct. Hatate and Engels are genuinely lazy when it comes to defensive duties.

    Think there's some reactionary comments here.

    He's 2 months into a 5 year deal. 8 games in. I think it's way too early to be saying he's lazy etc, I don't think he is as the first few games showed that isn't the case.

    To me he looks a bit overawed last few games and I think would benefit from a game out.

    Just find it a bit mental to be questioning the fee paid yet. I'm still not entirely sure we've found the right role for him yet.

    Only a four year deal; does that mean it’s time to panic? :fear:

    We could sell him tomorrow for a profit, without a shadow of a doubt. He was a shrewd signing despite folk over reacting to a poor run of current form.

    Not worried about him at this stage. He's shown he's got talent. Just had a bit of a wakeup call against Dortmund an hasn't quite recovered from it. He's a young guy who's been humbled. Brendan will get him firing for us.

    It's not even really that poor... It's just that he looked amazing straight away and everyone thought it'd get better... If he'd taken this long to settle initially, with the form in reverse, noone would be freaking out like this... Hasn't even got double figure games under his belt yet...

    I agree he's got to improve. However, he's not been here long, is the clubs record transfer, he's still young and there's so much pressure on that.

    He needs some time and BR will help him along the way. Thought he should have been off before RH tonight.

    Also, in the world of football, he isn't even that expensive. This is where we need to be shopping if we want to keep improving.

    *he'll get there

    He had a class start and has just dropped off a little. We need to give all signings time. New Club, New Country, Champions League record wins and thumpings, Rangers Games, and international call ups, it's a lot for him to go through. He's clearly class just give him time. And it's great we've got Bernardo and McGowan to rotate with

    Don't worry. He will become a super star for us. It's tough for young guys with no experience in the CL. Calmac said in a interview that everyone was looking at him at training thinking he is a special player.

    Actually thought Reo done reasonably well defensively last night. Maeda and Engles were the only 2 last night that disappointed.

    A just don't see it he looks like a overpriced turnbull nobody will convince me otherwise total waste of money. If this is the player Rodgers and this * "football doctor" tisdale identified then i would be more than happy for pistol and Nicholson to not give them 1 more penny.

    Guy will go down as the biggest and most expensive flop in our history.

    Played 50 bundesliga games how I don't know augsburg must have been pish.

    Looked ok against the worst team in this year's UCL apart from that 2 penalties and * all else

    People need to calm the * down. Trusty was a waste of £6M before last night too, look how that turned out.

    Engels will be fine. Look at Kuhn last season when he'd just come in.
