    Not a CM. Turns out he's not a winger either. Try him in goal maybe?

    Nygren is so pish. No idea what the manager sees in him.

    Always try to give new players some grace period but questions should rightfully be starting to be asked of him.

    He gets himself into really good positions.

    Frustrating player but I've no doubt he'll come good.

    Is he perfect? No.

    But what he does do, better than any of our players, is be involved. He's always making runs, actually takes shots, and has very good movement. I don't think playing on the wing suits him but it's by far our best option right now.

    He was frustrating tonight but he kept at it, kept being involved, and got the goal whilst also winning a lot of set pieces.

    Still don't know what to make of him. He's definitely not RW and I don't know if I trust him as an 8 to get back when we lose the ball. Has quality though.

    He's not ideal but he's better as a RW than CM and given Rodgers won't drop McGregor or Hatate then there's only one space in midfield and that should go to Engles so stick with him RW till January

    I don't really understand why we bought this guy. He has his strengths and he's not a terrible player or anything; but he's not the answer to anything. I can only assume he was like 4th or 5th on some list and everyone above him was either too expensive or knocked us back.

    He's OK, though. I don't mean to get on his back or anything. More "meh" rather than "poor".

    Albeit he started as a RW tonight, but very much he drifted inside more often than not and didn't really play as a RW.
    He became most dangerous as well in the middle playing more as a number ten come secondary striker.

    We need to utilise him in that position a lot more than RW or sitting deeper in the 8 role.

    Was very good tonight, albeit frustrating at times before he finally got his goal. It was due for him.

    Tonight was incredibly frustrating.

    Partly down to him and to luck.

    Should've been subbed long before his goal but delighted he got it.

    Mixed bag, but kept going when the crowd was on his back.

    That's the character you need here.
