    Wonder why that was. 'He's too small' - Naw. If he was good enough, he'd have played.

    No defensive qualities at all.

    What is he supposed to be better at than Janko? It isn't football.

    I'm not worried about him, he will turn out to be a good player for us.

    I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt. Hasn't played much in the last few years, debuted in the worst possible game so confidence is probably low. Needs to settle in.

    Give the guy a chance for * sake. Not everyone hits the ground running like Sinclair and Toure. He has played two games, one against Barca and apart from the defending at the first goal I don't think he did too badly.

    Think he will be decent enough for us.

    Can't help but get the feeling we will see more than a few defensive lapses from him though.

    I dont have any hopes for him, but will give him a couple more games before judging him.

    People can't actually be writing this guy off already...? He will turn into a good player for us, let him get up to full match fitness and fully ingratiated with his new team. Hasn't played a consistent run of games in a year. Was rated enough to be bought by a mid table Premier League team, who never used him to his full potential. He will come good, give him time.

    He has pace to burn but I think he has a temperature to him he was very lucky to get away with knocking King off the ball on the edge of the area.

    Still think he will do a job for us.

    Decision making and passing under pressure not great, he does have electric pace though.

    We seemed to have bought another defender who can't defend, Gamboa
    Pullis pulled a fast one on us flogging us this guy, speed and nothing else.
    Played for Costa Rica, that's nothing, anybody could play for Costa Rica.

    He never had anything to do today, cant mind him being attacked and going forward was only involved once or twice.

    Most of the game flowed through Brown, McGregor, Rogic, Tierney and Sinclair. Gamboa and Roberts hardly had a sniff of the ball.
