    He’s * and no amount of running about will change that. Should have taken up a career in athletics.

    Aye he works hard, did put a good ball in for Kyogo but he's really poor at this level..

    Weak and his first touch and link up play are non-existent..

    He’s just out of form IMO, if he was in form he’d be brilliant for us in Europe but it’s just not clicked yet this season for whatever reason.

    My worry is when he stated he was unsure about coming to us in a previous interview is that he has a clause that if he is fit he plays. Really offers nothing for me even his goals he has scored a few of them he hasn’t scored with conviction and hve been scrappy finishes. His pace was non existent tonight!

    For me, he does lack on the technical side of the game, but I also think he's much better than he's currently showing.

    No idea if it's the system himself or a bit of both, but he scored a * ton in Japan, where the league is around the same level as the SPFL.

    I think he needs some time on the bench, Abada and Jota should be starting, with Haksabanovic being the main rotational option.

    Looks like he’s been carrying an injury for a while now, not as sharp or pacey as he was start of the season. Needs dropped for next few games for sure.

    Looked slow next to the red bull defenders. Bring back agathe. He could run fast.

    If it wasn't for his pace and work rate he'd struggle to get a game for Albion Rovers. Absolutely * all football ability

    I think playing on the right doesn't suit him at all. He's far more effective on the left.

    I was screaming to make himself an option by pulling wide but nope he keeps going central and not making himself an option he can't take a man on.

    I'd play him left when he starts in these games. I know that would potentially limit Jota's output, but it would enable Maeda to help Taylor defensively, plus he's more effective attacking from the left himself. When he gets replaced by Abada, switch Jota back to the left.

    I think as Haksa begins to click into place, and Abada continues to improve, we will see him move a bit further out of the picture.

    If his role becomes ‘speedy depth option’, rather than ‘go-to winger’, I’ll be happy to have him.

    Not sure I fully trust Ange to make that decision though.

    Would you really notice a dip in Jotas output in these games?

    Wanted him in the team before hand but he’s badly out of form at the moment, at the moment all he’s offering us is a bit of graft.
