    Thought he did really well, really positive runs. Great penalty as well

    Was our only out ball up top. Wouldn’t start him as Kyogo was actually incredible defensively first half! (I couldn’t believe it either) but idah is the perfect sub and he knows it

    I think the big man can give us an alternative to our usual playing it out from the back which, as we saw today, cab cause us problems. The huns know the way we play now and they know McGregor is our main play maker and that's why they were quick to press our defenders and man mark McGregor. I'm not saying we should revert to humping long high balls all the time but it would be good to mix it now and then.

    Thought he was good when he came on and took his pen well too.

    It’s a big shout but Idah should have started against Dinamo and the Huns for me.

    I say that with the knowledge of how good Kyogo is but the two games passed him by. Not exactly his fault because his game relies on us breaking lines from defence to midfield with our passing and we’ve had no fluidity to our play for weeks in that regard.

    Idah was bought for a reason and we need to know when to use him. He’s a much safer option when we are struggling to build the play up from the back.

    He’s due a run of games as we won’t see the best of him until that happens. Only need to look at last season to see that.

    Not surprised this hasn't happened but would love to see a wee run of both him and Kyogo together.

    No need for Rodgers to change the system though so can't see it happening anytime soon.

    Id start him Kyogo isn’t offering much at the moment and can’t make the ball stick when we play the ball up quicker in the bigger games.

    It’s a shame our formation doesn’t allow for it but I think kyogo would be amazing in a top two up front. Him and idah would work perfectly together. But with the success in our current style it’ll never happen

    With the huns new tactics I’d definitely start Idah, Kyogo barely got a chance to press before it was punted long and with our slow build up play he barely got a sniff.

    Idah had the beating of their centre backs easily.

    I'd love if we started with him and Kyogo, think it would work. I think he deserves to start next game though for sure.

    Knocked his pan in when he came on. He did * me off one time, when he got in behind, out on the touchline and with him being fresh on, just wanted him to carry the ball but he checked back.
    Would love to see him and Kyogo up top together, drop Taylor and go 3 at the back against SPL dross club sometime.

    Kyogo made a mess of what would have been a top assist and goal. Shows he can play well with a partner.
