    Big game against Motherwell sunday. Hoping the diets take points off the huns and I think GG will get a goal or two if he starts

    Should not feel disheartened. His play overburdened their CB-s, and made Hatate impossible to contain.

    He deserved a goal last night. He should have buried his header.

    Good performance otherwise.

    Not sure mate, Kyogo's still out so he'll get plenty of game time. Expect him to start scoring soon too.

    He may miss more than he scores..but he's always in a position to score.

    It's promising for him, he should have scored last night and at the weekend but at least of the 6 good chances he had he hit the target and had 5 of them saved also taking into account he actually got in positions to have those attempts at goal. His performances are good he just needs the goals.

    I thought all that was missing was goals. I thought he had a really good game.

    McGregor stopped one or two and if GG placed his shots better, he should've had a hattrick.

    Certainly didn't shrink in the fashion that a lot of us thought he may have.

    Thought he played well and there's still more in him.

    Great performance from him, though he should have scored the header but then again he done * amazing to even get the leap on him...

    We need his type up front as an option, big solid *.

    Needs to be more clinical. He does really well to get into positions and get shots away but a striker really needs to be scoring goals at the end of the day.

    Get a finishing coach in to teach him how to place his shots in the corner of the net.

    Be actually gets in to soem great position's to score..

    Good penalty box striker who can work and fend off centre halves with ease..

    The goals will come. He can frustrating like Saturday but there is clearly more to come from him. It's clear as day he's got it as he showed last night and Tynecastle. Just hopefully starts banging them in so we don't have as many nervy day's as Saturday..

    Loads to like about him..

    Needs to be more clinical but he seems a handful to play against. Different type of handful to Kyogo and Maeda.

    Usually if a striker dosen't get on the scoresheet the assumption would be that he had a bad game, that wasn't the case last night.

    He offers us a different option in the last third.

    Also looks to have a good understanding with Abada.

    Ran himself into the ground last night. But for a couple of good saves from the beast, he would have scored a couple. Done himself no harm for playing on Sunday.

    The bhoy showed up in the biggest game of the season so far. Worked his * off and his movement in the box caused their defenders all sorts of problems.

    Think he won over a good few last night, myself included, but hopefully still a lot more to come from the big man starting with a goal or two on Sunday.

    Very unfortunate not to score. Made a nuisance of himself in the final third. Defenders didn’t know wether to stick or go.

    Looked gutted when he was coming off, obviously very disappointed not to have scored. Couldn't have come much closer and overall played very well. Always causing them problems and decent link up play.
