    He'll link up well with tierney. He seen him go forward and done a class flick over. Tbh think He'll be a star.

    I'm not going to be too harsh on him with that performance tbh. Just in and thrown straight in with our team going through a really rough patch.

    Needs to be a bit braver on the ball though.

    Looked exactly like his YouTube clips. Gets the ball and plays it backwards. * only know we have enough of them.

    It’s an ominous sign but I pray he proves me wrong.

    Too early to judge. Not really a harder fixture to make his debut in.

    Based on what I seen of him in his clips that's exactly what I expected he doesn't look quick and loves the easy option

    Mate the huns are * *, couldn't ask for an easier time to play them, Motherwell, Dundee and St Mirren forwards showed more attacking threat against that shower

    People are allowed opinions. But I dunno why folk go overboard when guys make their debuts. Especially in games like that.

    I just don't see a point in even commenting that greatly when there were 10 others out there who had been there and done it before, playing just as badly.

    Pointless. But I'm not surprised as our fanbase are terrible for it.

    Nah disagree, no matter how bad huns are they raise their game against us. We haven't beaten them in the league in a year. So you're absolutely wrong.

    You’re allowed an opinion. But it’s embarrassing.

    People always forget how badly our best ever player started here.

    Even last season they were nowhere near as poor as they are currently, in isolation today there's no excuse, a top player rinses them today

    It’s more the fixture. Like Scales said, form goes out the window. Nothing to do with the level of the opposition.

    It’ll be an atmosphere he’s never experienced, a pressure he’s never experienced. We need to give players time, especially when we are so bad and disjointed.

    I thought he started positively a few nice link ups with midfielders but the lack of willingness to go at his man was a concern. Mind you Tavernier got away with one when he got in behind him and got a freekick for nothing.

    I think he could be a decent player but we badly need someone to get the ball and beat a man then do something the lack of on ball quality in this team is chronic.

    Can’t judge him on that game. Will see how he gets on in the next few.

    A top player thats had time to settle and play in our system yes. Anyone making their debut today would struggle with our turgid midfield and poor intensity in the game. He signed 2 days ago to expect miracles from him is totally unrealistic.
