    That touch he took to bring that ball down late on was terrific. Thought he took too long to get the shot off though and it allowed the Hearts centre-back to make the block.

    There's more to him than Kenny and because of that I would much rather he started on Wednesday. But also open to the fact there might not be much between them.

    As usual Agathe17 sticks by the pish Irish players and has a dig at the foreign ones.

    This but we’ve saw enough of Kenny now to be sure so I’d give Shin the nod

    Did okay. Time will tell if he’s actually half-decent or just less rubbish than Kenny.


    One thing’s for sure, though, we should’ve seen a lot more of him than we have so far.

    Guarantee you a good motivator in the dugout gets him firing big time. I think he's got everything required to be a success for us, just not gonna happen with Rodgers * him about.

    I thought he was meant to be rapid? He had the chance to open his legs second half when he got wrong side out on the wing, then a few strides later he had to check as was getting caught. I’m no seeing anything better or worse then Kenny to be honest.

    How can anyone slabber this pish based on what we’ve seen from him. Which in reality, is very little.

    Without trying to be negative, I think he’s this seasons Soro.

    He’s probably not good enough but we’re desperate so we need to hope he does enough to drag us through, and when we get to a window we get a proper Celtic quality striker in.

    He definitely needs to start because the alternative is probably worse.

    Has to start against Falkirk midweek. Need to see what he's about now. We know what we're getting from Kenny, so give this guy 60/70,then replace wi Maeda who could do wi some mins before the semi next weekend.

    Any word on why he wasn't in the squad last night?

    Injury or selection related? He could now be down to 5th choice striker for us.

    He needs a loan to see if he has anything for us at all. He's very raw and Osmand looks more ready for scottish football at the moment?
    That touch he plucked out the air against Hearts was outrageous though so gives me hope he has something.

    He needs games but he hasn't really shown much so far other than he likes a physical battle with a defender.

    I was amazed at how sluggish he looked v Hearts. Think Kenny is well ahead of him at the minute.

    Yeah would have to agree but coming out of the cold when loosing 3-1 will always be hard to do especially against top of the league. It's hard to gage when he hasn't had a run of games but we can't afford to do that at the moment.

    Would like to see us rotate a bit now and get him some minutes along with Osmand so we can make a proper judgement of them. Like Kenny did I think he would have benefited from the way we were playing the other night compared to the negative tactics that's been choking our attacking play, actually going for long balls to run on to and putting crosses into the box from different angles, his highlight reels have a decent amount of headed goals and he likes a bending run off the shoulder of the defenders when we're deep, like Kyogo would go for 50 times a game but almost never got the ball played long or over the top.
