    Kyogo is the better player but tonight I’d start idah. A Kyogo coming on against tired defenders to break the lines is much more dangerous.

    plus I’m sure the Zagreb team have worked on mainly facing Kyogo

    Can work on stopping kyogo all they want. They still won't manage it. If his finishing boots are on he'll score 3.

    Thought he did OK, held it up well the few times we got the ball to him, couple of decent runs as well.

    He wasn't terrible but he really needs to improve his first touch. That would make a huge difference to his game. I feel like he ends up playing catch up because of that.

    He's nearly 24, this is his "touch" and it won't get better.

    Idah is strange because he can occasionally bring it down nicely and has a decent flick in his locker, but too many times it just bounces off him and he struggles to bring it down.

    Just one of those guys where you never feel fully comfortable when he's on the ball.

    Thought he was okay tonight, done better than Kyogo for me.

    I'd still give Kyogo the nod for Sunday but.

    Much better than Kyogo tonight. Can’t blame him for that late chance the defending was brilliant.

    Thought he did well, looking sharper every game.

    Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with his first touch. He takes it in far more than it gets away from him, usually with a big centre half all over the top of him. * are blind as * man :56:

    Idah for me on Sunday. He's only getting 15 minutes practically each game as a substitute, yet looks more dangerous and focused than Kyogo has been.

    Will be a tough game and we can't afford passengers early doors I suspect, and I am thinking of Kyogo and Hatate here.

    Kyogo is the guaranteed starter at the weekend, however, having already shown what he can do against the knuckle draggers at the Hampden midden big Idah could very well be the decisive player.

    This.
    Tonight was absolutely not Idahs fault, but if he wants to improve and depose Kyogo - for tonights chance, it was not hard to read where the cross was coming into and get in front rather than wait for to come through defender.
    That's one major difference between the two players.
    I'll guarantee Brendan will sit him down and talk about that one.

    Has a way to go to get ahead of Kyogo. Needs to be much stronger and be able to hold the play up a lot better.

    Thought he might get the nod last night. Had he scored at the weekend there and Kyogo didn’t come on and score then he would’ve I’m sure.

    I thought he was a lot better than Kyogo when he came on.

    Excellent penalty as well.

    Would 100% start him away to Dundee United.
