    He's had a poor run of form recently. But he's a very good player and Im not gonna forget that due to a few bad games. Deserves to be benched but he'll be back soon enough

    He shouldn't be playing in the attacking midfield position.

    He's better in his own half or around the centre-circle starting off moves from deep and drifting forward into space playing 1-2s.

    When we play him in the attacking mid position he's not quick or strong enough to take the ball in and get away from players and can't play with his back to goal in there he just ends up passing it back to Brown or the defence as he gets shut down and knows he'll be outmuscled.

    Rogic has the ball control and the strength about him to take a clatter and turn people.

    As good as he was the first 3 months this season, his December has been quite *. That was the worst of the bunch, another player picking a bad to have a bad game. Some absolutely atrocious decisions, especially in the first half.

    I've also notcied his ball control in the last few weeks has been brutal, which is usually his best quality.

    He's lost form in recent weeks. Maybe the mix of the team is the problem?

    How he gets a starting position over Ntcham is truly baffling..

    I don't like him in there, but wouldn't drop Ntcham in order to push him backwards.

    I still really like him as a player, very tidy but if we sign another number 10 soon and Rogic is back fit, then he will maybe find a regular place hard to come by again.

    Never a number 10.

    Neither is Armstrong though. We only have Rogic and we were crying out for some cover for him in the summer

    Playing as 10 in a 4-2-3-1 defo doesn't suit him, especially when nothing sticks to Edouard.

    He's much better from a deeper position or any formation that has a back 3, where's there's an extra man in the midfield or up top.

    When teams camp on their 18yard box he's not the answer playing 10. He still keeps possession well but can't roll his man and create space, the way Rogic does..

    This and CB is where we need to strengthen the most. If we don't I'd like to see Paddy tried at 10 more.

    He’s better a bit deeper in the midfield starting moves imo. Definitely dropped off since about November, still a good player to have though. He’d walk into any other team in Scotland and be their best player.

    I got frustrated last night with him just passing the ball backwards all the time.

    Rogic can't come back quick enough. McGregor needs dropped.

    He'll make a couple of tippy tappy plays then goes invisible for 30mins as i said ineffective.
