    Too lightweight in the middle against a packed physical team. Should of been moved out right for Forrest and use him to stretch the game and pull them out of position.

    Nonsense.

    McGregor has been * abysmal for about 2 months.

    Put him in the team today and he’d have done nothing more than Musonda.

    Dont know about that, McGregor would have had a bit more success at turning players and getting around the box. Musonda done absolutley nothing at all the whole game, not a single pass in behind to anyone, never turned or got away from anyone and his movement was non existant he was easily marked out the game.

    I think Ntcham and Musonda would never have survived beyond HT if we were able to make subs there as it wasn't working.

    Pretty sad that of all the players to criticise, you’re slagging Musonda. He was being fouled constantly. Surrounded by 2 or 3 players as soon as he got the ball.

    He had no chance.

    He seriously needs to add a good bit of weight, you don't see players that skinny in top level football. 21 as well, Mikey Johnston has more physicality about him and he's too small as well.

    Shouldn't have started in hindsight game wasn't right for him he had 2 or 3 hatchet men kicking his ankles everytime he touched it, but he showed flashes that he will be very good, give him 90 mins at Celtic park and see what he can do

    I thought he played well for the opening 2 minutes, like the rest of the team!

    Same problem as Sinclair, far too narrow, on a narrow pitch, surrounded by a camped Killie team. Get him out on the wing, isolate full backs and he will have much joy.

    I can't remember a player fouled as much as that in 1 game. Cute/sly one's with 2 hands on the back or pushed everytime he turned..

    Showed some wee glimpses but today, 11 men camped in tight and compact on a joke of a pitch...wasn't the day..

    Only first impressions as this is only the first time I've seen him play but he looked like a wee boy. Saw literally nothing to convince me that this is one of europes hottest prospects.

    I think he'll offer better on wing.

    Im sure he'll be a good one.

    Will be immense on the big pitch at Hampden when we are 1 up and the other team are pushing men forward.

    Against a packed , physical, killie midfield/defence on a plastic pitch ? Not his game.

    Can't believe folk are writing a guy off, who was on the verge of breaking into the Chelsea 1st team, after one game against a ten man defence. This boy will be different class once he gets going.

    Well he definitely is.

    Hence the 5.5 year deal at Chelsea. Give him time.

    Showed true class at times especially early on..but as the game progressed they sometimes put 4 man on him and nullified.

    Neymar ? Sure I read when he joined Barca he weighed 8 stone or some *. They made him bulk up a bit as he was too lightweight.
