    He scores goals. I like Celtic players that do that

    Played really well today, best I've seen him in a long while was a right handful and seemed to be in the right positions to disrupt them and be really effective took both goals really well. He's typically done this- scored for a couple of games running then went on a goalless streak for half a dozen games , so I think it is essential that he scores a few in the last 5 games of the season and ends on a high looking to be a big part of next season. Think we will sign another striker regardless as we need 3 .

    Bullied * out of their makeshift centre half and knew it..

    2 good goals and some lovely flicks and link up. He has to do this more often though and cut out the sloppy heavy first touches..

    Idah tormented that Dundee United defence when he came on, scored two good goals and a great dummy for Kuhn's goal.

    On this form he is a real handful for any defence in the country.

    Over the peace you’d have to say his season has been nowhere near as bad as it’s perceived to be, mainly from within the media.

    Similar to Engels, his fee skews everything.

    Am I right in saying that's goals 16 and 17 of his season for us - 10 league, 4 cup and 3 euro? In fairness, if he gets to about 20 by the end of the season you can only guage him as not reaching his potential, not as being disappointing... Bit of an enigma of a season, where he's actually kinda done well, but is being (rightly) questioned because he could have had about twice as many...

    100% what I was just saying... Only much more concisely! :50:

    Can be a top no 9 when on it. Just needs that moment when the switch flicks and he starts producing it consistently. Hopefully next year is the time.

    If their defence is anything like the one that played today against St Mirren, he should be getting told to get up and in their face like he was prepared to do today. That Nsila and Propper are both hopeless at dealing with physicality.

    Get Maeda to hunt Soutar when he is on the ball.

    I've been one of his biggest critics this season but actually his goal return for a back up/sub is more than decent. Looks like we've been doing a lot of training based on getting runners off him and linking up too so he will only improve.

    Think with Jotas injury he will start at ibrox next week, hopefully he can get himself a goal

    18 this year for him being mostly a back up, not a consistent amount of game time back to back coming on as a sub and scores either off the bench or as a starter.

    Works like *, always effects the game working when it doesn’t go his way.

    Time for the fans to cut him some slack. He’s done brilliant, and theres a lot of room for improvement and to kick on. And he has the right attitude to

    Some of his hold up play near their goal, was really good.
    Big summer coming up for him, he needs to work on so many aspects of his game, really needs to bulk up, way too easily bullied off the ball when he comes deep.
    Its worth noting that in the last 3 games, we have blown away the opposition scoring 15 goals-and he has been on the park for most of those goals. So he brings a lot to the table.
    Just needs that massive pre season and he will kick on.

    With Jota being injured he starts next week with Meada out wide.

    Deffo someone who will get us goals regardless, has his dips but he’s shown enough for us to get behind him.

    Large fee or not that’s been repaid in full with last season and this season.

    think we need to get over that fee and he has got us some very important goals.

    will continue to get more important goals too.

    Starting to improve. Rodgers will work his magic.

    Done well when he come on. He will probably get a run of games now with Jota out.

    Played well today, better when he takes the ball into feet and he seem to play alot more central yesterday where he should be all the time

    Yes you would imagine it will be Idah through the middle at the debt star next week with Maeda and Kuhn out wide. Hopefully more of the same from Idah next week.

    Very much agree with you. Some need to get over the fee we paid for Idah with what he has done so far that has repaid that IMHO.

    Seems to me, Idah likes having something to prove.

    His best performances have been Kilmarnock away and the final lost year on loan, after Kyogo left against Villa and the redemption after honking in the back of a cab!!

    Get his head right and unquestionably there’s a player there!!
