    Said it before but it does bear repeating while Idah has lots of room for improvement in his all round game particularly IMHO his hold up play and using his physical size more effectively his finishing is absolutely top draw and we saw that once again last night.

    That first finish was utter class how he adjusted his body..

    Nice run and finish for the second as well..

    Exactly what we've needed from him, at the perfect time. Doing it away at a very good EPL side, in the champions league....has to give him all his confidence back. Real strikers goals both of them..

    He deffo has it in the locker. Need to find that consistency from now..

    You see him making the runs between the 2 CBs when the ball was deep and Khun just didn't get his head up or turned back to play the safe ball, I think Jota on the left will get that ball in a lot quicker

    Kyogo record in champions league is appalling it’s the only thing that goes against him that debut season in it I remember being so * off at how wasteful he was in it

    I think the first finish is unbelievable but the second is a lot harder than it looks. If he doesn’t lift it, it looks like Martinez will get in the way of it.

    Kyogo would miss 3 of them every game and lift it when the keeper was up and smash it off his legs when he is low.

    One of the most entertaining games for a while btw…absolutely brilliant from him.Better and more deserving team won on the night,but that’ll do Idah wonders.Big guy steps up when needed…I love him and know he’s got big things a’gwan.

    It's always been confidence with big Idah imo, when he's fully confident I think he's a great striker, there was no doubt that dry run was getting to him.

    Engels the same in a way, both young players who are 100% confidence players, it's something that'll come to them as the season progresses.

    This CF * up in the transfer window will play perfectly into his hands. Run of games and * be Dyno. Plus Meada will be CF with Jota back.

    Tierney and a loan CF

    Make or break for him if we end this window without replacing kyogo.

    Either he will step up to the plate and we will all be wondering what the fear was.
    Or he's gonna crumble under the pressure

    Comes across as a confidence player.

    The bit of luck he earned v young boys seems to have got his confidence back and he should be absolutely flying now after the last week, 2 goals v villa and becoming out 1st choice striker.

    He's on 10 goals now for the season. Good run of games and I could see him hitting 20-25.

    He has everything, just needs to put a consistent run of goals together.

    He absolutely bossed that defence, very unlucky not to have another goal.

    Those two goals during the week made him again! What a difference today, the presence and confidence he showed was top class. Kick on now…
