    He is as hard as nails and knows how to mix it in a smart way. Iwata, McGregor and Hatate perfect midfield for us I think.
    Would like to see this midfield in the Cup Semi and Ibrox game.

    Ange has addressed the lightweight issues in the team, by bringing in * brickhouses in Johnson, Oh and Iwata, the added bonus is they all know how to shift too.

    Smart guy, our Ange.

    There was a marked improvement in our overall composure when he came on.

    Still early days, but I can absolutely see him being an important player for us next season - particularly in Europe.

    Johnston got close to it on Tillman.

    Changed the game when he came on. We scored with the first move he was involved in.

    Looks very good today. Was concerned as to how much we would miss hatate but iwata is making it not a problem at all. It's great they both offer a different game too

    He's first choice ahead of Mooy at the minute.

    Choking to see:

    McGregor Iwata
    Hatate

    Good again and almost got a goal. Must be giving Ange a headache on who to pick for the semi.

    I was saying about him getting a shot in the 8 rather than swapping him with McGregor and he was excellent there..

    Suited it well..

    Quickly becoming my one of my favourites. All round sound and easy on the eye. Another player that epitomises Anges style.

    Haven't seen him amd Reo together properly yet...:35:

    With both Mooy and Hatate nowhere near being match fit, I think he'll start against the huns.

    Getting better game by game but still more to come from him.

    Thought we looked so much better when he came on against the Klan last week.

    I don't want to get too far ahead of myself but I think he's going to have Hatate levels of impact here.

    Really excited to see how he is utilised going forward.

    If Hatate does not make it, I would like to see us start with Iwata, McGregor and O'Riley in the Cup Semi.
    It's probably our best bet.

    We will absolutely steam roll the middle of the park in the semi if we got with this.
