    Lads i have only seen short highlights of sat game and from the reports and the goal assists its clear Shaun was super..

    But how did the other two lads play Loovens started and Crosas got a half hour???

    crossa's was hitting some nice passes apparently and i dont think loovens had much to do, but he was solid enough

    Loovens didn't have much to do and Crosas did good and played some good balls but it's unfair to judge anyone after one game.

    Yes, shaun was amazing, the most exciting thing ive seen at Parkhead in a while, Loovens n the beginning nearly made a big mistake but it's only the first game and he is still trying to settle in i suppose, he looked sturdy. Crosas, well lets just say the passing is very nice and very accurate, looks like he wants on the ball alot, he's got a good touch.


    Can't wait till we play the manks !

    I think crosas will be a great signing for us. He plays the kind of passing football that GS wants to see and more importantly the fans want to see! :50:

    The highlights on the BBC website shows just how good some of Maloneys link up play was. If I was Jan and Scott I'd be pretty worried right now!

    my dad said Loovens was solid and composed.

    Said Wee Shaun was all over the pitch, and Crosas looked a touch of class.


    Looking good

    I wouldn't give him his first start against Rangers, would probably bring him on with 15mins to go though.

    I only see the goals and wasnt at the game hence why im asking all the questions! When we 1st signed him i was really upbeat about the guy and i really think he could be our replacement for stan.
    In your opinion did he look the finished article ie distribution, tackling, eye for goal, def duties, strong etc etc?

    would be great if crosas started but i think he will maybe go with brown hartley mcgeady naka, would like to see crosa's get on though and sam and shaun for the front two as they worked hard on sat and looked very good together

    Loovens will prove himself when he mets a decent strike force and Crosas was good for the brief spell he was on..Not enough to say he should start on Sunday imo.

    Cheers lads gave me a good insight into how the new boys are doing watched the game yesterday and agree will majority of posts..

    Am i the only one who is still very unconvinced by Scott Brown i think Barry is twice the player he is..

    Amazing ?? just goes to show how our standards have fallen the whole team played slightly better than the previous 2 games which wasnt a great feet however we are light weight all over the park .the back 2 are poor on the evidance of 1 game which you cannot judge anyone loovens looks no better than caldwell but he will be judged over 10 games not one .a left back is a must as willson is only a stand in and should not be first pick left back by default the german just does not look any more than average and young caddis must be on the fringe of taking over this position .scot brown has to start showing that he is worth the transfer fee or he will be shipped out at christmas and i would certainly start robson in cente midfield on sunday .
    big improvements required before sunday

    hail hail mick

    in total agreement his control is so poor his second touch is always a tackle to try and win the ball back
