    Players cannot just come back into the team after being out for a long time. He needs to be eased back in.

    Made a difference when he came on. The ability to go past players is so important when breaking sides down, but we need to be careful with him given his injury history.

    He’s just a breath of fresh air tbh, I saw him take on players with ease and put some decent crosses in. I feel like we haven’t really had that from our wingers for a while

    Was it a Fk when he went down after skinning a couple of folk? Never seen a replay of it and Hearts got a FK every time they went down.

    He's a far, far better & more effective player at LW over Elyounoussi, he causes the opposition trouble every time he's in possession, same can't be said for Moi.

    So you expect more things to happen when the ball lands at the feet of Elyounoussi as opposed to Johnston in the final third?

    It’s a literal fact, yes.

    I’m like a broken record but MJ has become a player that he isn’t (yet) in some fans eyes because he’s been injured.

    Moi is our top goal scorer...

    Mikey is a far more dangerous player than Moi in the final third mate, quicker, more skillful & more clever in his decision making.

    Talking about goals Mikey scored 5 in 9 starts last season, that's a better scoring ratio than Moi this season.

    His decision making is arguably his worst attribute so I strongly disagree. His end product isn’t where it’s going to need to be for him to be a regular starter. Yet.

    Quick check of Transfermarkt, MJ scored 6 in 22 last season? Moi currently has 12 in 23?

    Moi's decision making is too often shocking, so many attacks break down in the final third when the ball lands at his feet, I said starts not overall number of games.

    So you’ve skewed the stats to suit an argument?

    MJ has loads of potential but his decision making and end product MUST get better if he’s to fulfil it.

    Not skewed them at all, compare Moi's goals to starts ratio this season with Mikey's goals to starts ratio from last season

    I wouldn't bicker regarding Mikey and Moi. Rotating them is the answer. This way, Johnston gets experience, while Elyounoussi stays fresh enough to consistently provide goals in crucial moments. I'd set up teams so that Elyounoussi plays less until the Rangers game, where he'd start.
