Nicolas Kühn

Looks Like BR was spot on early on, a real player who just needed his stamina & health back up to task.
This season showing up as a very skillfull & tough enough wee man.

 

Probably been our best player this season and theres been a lot of comptition as Schmeichel, McGregor, even Scales, Taylor, Johnston have all been quality, Maeda as well and even Kyogo good.

Just needs to his more shots sometimes, seems like it never crosses his mind just to shift the ball and have a shot. Always looking to pass and move and play other people in even when chances open up.

 

Love this boy so much. Unbelievable control, ball retention, dribbling, vision. Only thing he doesn't have is a decent hit. Incredible player though.

 

His pass to Kyogo deserved a goal straight after our first.

 

Another quality performance, had his man on toast but needs to get a shot off sometimes-decision making needs improving.

 

One of a few in our team just now who has me absolutely buzzing. Love seeing this kind of turnaround after a shaky start to his career here.

 

Who we see now is not the same guy who joined.

What a * turnaround, he is looking fantastic

 

Excellent touch, pace and can beat a man for fun. Would like him to shoot more when cutting inside though. Looks good value for £3M.

 

Looks a completely different player from last season. Had a good pre season and has been brilliant.

 

I love this guy.

His close control is brilliant and he’s incredibly unselfish.

His work rate is overlooked as well probably because on the other side you’ve a super human in Maeda in that department, but he works like a dog.

Delighted with how he’s playing.

 

I thought he was going to be another of those players that has the talent but not the mentality to make it here. I'm not sure what changed for him but he is a different animal from the player we saw last season and I like it.

 

On a different level to last season. Really influencing games this season

 

Biggest surprise of the season for me, even with an excellent pre-season, wasn't expecting him to be so effective..

 

Able both to take on his man and has a good end product, really impressed with him so far this season

 

He’s playing very well. Obviously a lot more settled now and consistent. But folk are making out he was some dud last season, he wasn’t he had some really good games but did have a couple shockers.

 

Nicolas Kuhn has long had a goal of playing in the UEFA Champions League, and on Wednesday night he achieved that ambition at Celtic Park.

The fact that he was able to experience the world-famous Paradise atmosphere and also play his part in a stunning 5-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava only helped to enhance the experience.

And having now played his first game in the competition, he’s looking forward to further Champions League matches, beginning with a trip to his homeland in 10 days’ time for a match against Borussia Dortmund.

“It was unbelievable and the craziest thing I ever experienced,” he admitted. “It’s been a long journey and finally arriving in the Champions League in such a stadium was unreal. It was more than what I expected. After the anthem it was so loud.

'Everyone said that it’s amazing and they are special nights, so I was really looking forward to it, and now I can say that I played in the game here, so I’m really happy.'

“My goal has always been to play in the Champions League. When I was on loan for a year from Bayern, I was in the second league in Germany, but the goal was always the Champions League and the national team, so it’s going all in a good way.

“It was just the first game but it was an important start for us. Now we just focus on the next game and every game that’s coming, and we’re going to give 100 per cent.”


Next up for Brendan Rodgers’ side is a League Cup quarter-final at home to Falkirk this Sunday.

It’s a clash between the top side in the Premiership and the Championship league leaders, and Kuhn is looking forward to the game and the chance to progress to the last four of the competition.

“You have to show respect for every opponent, but we’re going to focus on our strengths and if we keep doing what we’ve been doing then we’ll have a good chance.

'It’s been a really good start to the season and it was a really good game and we just want to keep going and take it into the next game.'

“Before I came in, I had some good talks with the manager and it was all about getting into those positions to score and create chances, so that’s what we’re doing and he’s helped me a lot.

“I think there are still levels to go to and there’s a lot more in me, so I hope I will achieve what I’m looking for.

“I knew that if I was fit then I’d play well. The team, the coaches, the staff have all helped me a lot and I’ve said it a lot of times that when I came in, it was a little bit difficult for me, but now I’m feeling good.

“If it’s going well, it’s really nice, and now that I’m settled in, I just feel well so the performances are coming as well.”

 

His defensive work is tremendous and going to be a great help in CL. Great at dressing and retrieving
