    Or maybe a look ahead to set up in Europe away from home?

    I really like him. His passing is very sharp and pinpoint going forward.

    Think that was his 3rd assist today? @Morcombe tracks these, he'll know.

    But definitely agree that gettign a run in the team has been good, and can see him gaining confidence with every start to show more and more what he can do.

    Should be 4 assists but it'll be officially 3 cause I doubt he'll get credited with the first goal today, with there being a ricochet before the goal

    Taylor's distribution is indeed good, but c'mon, he is sometimes even getting bullied in Scotland :giggle1:

    Something that also Valle could suffer from but he is still young and maybe will be able to compensate his small stature by his superior technique. You can clearly see the deference between a player that learnt how to treat a ball at La Masia and one that learnt it here.

    For me it's pretty open who takes the number one spot at LB atm.

    For GT, half the time a it’s target man pulling onto him from dead balls in Scotland and he handles the targeting well.

    Pretty clear to me its gonna be horses for courses as I see them as very different styles. In a tactical discussion, GT is not gonna be replaced any time soon imo.


    The understanding of that role is superb, even if he can’t be what we want technically or physically. Although I think he is very clean technically also.

    Officially his 3rd today.
    1st was the headed assist for the equaliser against Falkirk.
    Second was the backheel flick to idah in the 6-0 vs. St johnstone
    And then yesterday against motherwell.
