    I can see where you’re coming from but he’ll play both.

    Hasnt got a mention yet but I thought he was far better today with a bit more space at his disposal.

    From the get go he was much more positive in either bringing the ball out himself or passing it forward.

    Tonight is the reason I never jump on the bandwagon about him being done or losing pace.

    Time and time again he shows, in spurts, he can drive with the ball past 2 and 3 opponents when he wants to. It’s not a physical issue, it’s a tactical one - he’s been given a different job. However, he’s so good at it he should be using that all the time. Especially in games like the weekend coming, stamp his authority on the midfield again.

    He was much better tonight and brave knowing he was gonna take a sore one for their red card. Much more like it.

    Now we know that McGregor and Engels should start together. Now we just need to learn who to replace Hatate because he is not a footballer.

    He stood up after we went behind in fairness to him, was much better than he has been. Was also a bit more positive in his passing rather than playing safe constantly then pointing around at other players.

    Not a coincidence he plays better when Engels was there to get close to him and have someone to play off of

    Thought he was excellent, as said above Engels being in there helped him.. and so would Bernardo from time to time.

    Doesn't get so exposed because Engels gets about the pitch a lot better than Nygren, i also thought Hatate was a lot better at both dropping to offer himself to Cal Mac and then also running off Tounekti.

    Knew it changed when he received a pass from scales at the halfway line and turned with it and passed.......forwards!!!! Opened ip their defence and created a chance.

    That is all we have been asking for which isn't much.

    The difference in quick decisive passing and facing up to the opposition makes that much ofna difference and it needs to be maintained

    Better last night. Shows he's not done and could flourish in a better set up.

    First half wasn’t great, second was very good.

    Need that consistently.

    I totally agree. Has to be Bernardo.

    Id like to see either a 3 of McGregor, Engles and Nygren but with Nygren at LCM or Bernardo as a 6 with McGregor and Engels as 8s but McGregor seems stuck in that number 6 role
