    Guys a * animal. He’s put some much needed physicality in the team. We look absolutely solid with him in the backline.

    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    I got it wrong with him when I confess at the start I just wasn’t feeling it with him.

    he is improving wk on wk and quite dramatically

    No debate. A level or so above and we can see his improvements month on month. Has so much more potential and is still young to sell on for a massive fee - a real moneymaker.

    Tbf I wasn't quite getting the hype around him but after today I'm ready to admit being too sceptical/wrong.

    He loves playing for us, loves representing our club and fans. He's got the bug big time

    For those who are in love.....
    Just off the phone to my brother and we were just saying the same thing..

    Last season one of the things you could say against an Ange side was that we could be bullied a bit at times..

    I don't see that at all now..

    That right side with Johnston and Carter-Vickers is as solid as it gets..

    Starfelt is much more imposing now overall..

    Hatate mixes it well and has the engine to go with it now. Mooy very rarely gets swamped off the ball. Uses his body well..

    Maeda who we know gives it against anyone..

    Could go on and on. We've added more physicality and mobility waiting in the wings as well in Oh and Iwata also..

    We're a much more solid outfit than we were last year..

    Completely agree.

    I think it might’ve been you on here that was talking about the difference in physicality between ourselves and Leipzig.

    That was the thing that struck me in the double header with them. Fantastic technically of course, but full of guys who were absolutely solid, strong willing runners.

    Seen their big right back that ultimately scored over there against us absolutely breeze by Jota at one point. Can remember thinking we were bang in trouble.

    He’s quality. Can’t believe folk didn’t want him because he had a bad 10 minutes against Croatia.

    A big thing I think is that MLS to Celtic is actually a really big deal for him. Getting picked up by a CL club. This is a massive move for him and when you have a player excited to play for the club then they will always give that little extra I think,

    I was worried that he might stand up for himself a bit too much, not knowing what the masons in black are like.

    But he's got it just right, takes no * without giving the masons too much to penalise him for.

    Something very likable about him.

    I love when a player just "gets it".
