    In that case he won't come into his own at Pittodrie.

    Nygren should absolutely start at Pittordrie, what did Engels do that was in any way better?

    Nygren was anonymous against St.Mirren, that was one of the reasons we struggled, maybe not on the same wavelength yet and he didn't look quite up to speed yet either. Engels showed a lot more of aggression and intent when he came on as a substitute.

    I think he will start against Aberdeen.

    He needs game time to get match fitness, I’d personally be starting him.

    I don’t think he was poor at all at the weekend, he was OK and then was * and was subbed as a result.

    Ok. That's not what I saw at all, but it's all about opinions.
    With Nygren I saw a very steady league debut full.of intelligent movement and positive forward passing that admittedly tailed off badly 2nd half as he got tired.
    With Engels I saw lots of endeavour against a tiring St Mirren - but nothing decisive or creative at all - what did I miss?

    He’s slotted in so easily, has livened up our right side so quickly and he looked good off the wing as well if needed.

    Reminds me a lot of O’Riley. Looks a proper player.

    Got room to get better but I already much prefer him to Engels.

    He receives the ball and immediately looks to turn and face the goal
    I hope Rodgers won't couch it out of him ;)

    * this exactly! The amount of times we just pass the ball backwards unnecessarily drives me insane!
