    If you watch it again, he definitely should have squared it to Kuhn..

    Tbf, if we had scored Muir pulls it back for a pen..

    He was class again.

    To think he's not even 100% match fit yet.

    So good to watch. Makes a game like last night so much more enjoyable. We didn’t play that great last night, tired looking and the leagues done so not much at stake.

    You wonder why he never cut it in the Spanish and French Leagues.

    He has the best quality on the ball probably since Lubo in terms of his control and passing and creativity and the quality of the final ball and delivery etc it's shocking how good his delivery from the wings is on either foot or how often he holdd the ball when you don't expect it and dribbles past guys rarely ever losing a ball.

    Must doubt himself a bit when up against bigger athletes or that you get in those Leagues or maybe Valladolid and Rennes couldn't get him on the ball enough or up the park enough, possible also that he was just unfit at Rennes and lost confidence and was only 21 when he played in Spain.

    But you feel lucky to have him. He's definitely too good to play here.

    Don't think valladolid played him as a winger and struggled coz of it. And rennes? Judging by their league form just didn't utilise him correctly and didn't get his fitness up.

    Love having him back here. Been excellent already and is just going to get better.
    Think he's just someone who needs loved to get his best and he is appreciated like * here. Not saying he needs to be a "it's all me" guy...not at all. Just needs to have good vibes in the work place

    Was absolutely superb last night. Aberdeen simply could not deal with him at all.

    I think it largely comes down to the fact he wasn't playing in ball dominant sides.

    Valladolid are pretty pants. And rennes certainly this season have been.

    Quite hard to make an impression. Same as when players like Hooper have for example have gone to relegation fodder in the past. If you stuck him in a side further up the table he would have still had the quality to stand out and score goals due to chances created.

    I still can't believe he is back.

    Next season we will have Jota and KT patrolling the left side after selling both for 50 mill and getting them back for practically nothing. :giggle1:

    Looked absolutely delighted for Yang. Love having his energy back in the squad again. Proper team player.

    Aye, I don't think yesterday Jota was as involved as you'd want but it's great having him back.

    Its been brilliant no doubt. I hope too now that he has been away once and made a fair bit of cash I am sure but also has seen how the grass is most definitely not greener away from Celtic Park that we may see Jota stay longer term.

    He just oozes positivity not just in the way he plays but also in his personality.
