    I think he needs to be let loose a bit more, so to speak.

    Playing within himself still I feel and there is so much more to come from him. Still think we'd get more out of him further up the park.

    Excellent after a poor start last night, though. Sign of a good player.

    It would have been very easy for him to retreat into himself after that torrid first half hour but he never once hid. Showed for the ball time and time again and eventually grew into the game.

    That pass for KT should be highlighted on lobstertube.

    Again...same as Boyata...comes down to belief and self confidence when faced with failure, the biggest attribute a player can have, and he showed it in abundance.

    Very sloppy with some simple passes again today. Not comfortable with him in there yet

    I like how he's always looking for the pass forward but I think he needs to learn to be more patient. Despite a few nervy showings, I think he will come good.

    Had a great start to his career here, can remember fans and pundits raving about him. And from what I remember he was very good in the qualifiers and in the opening SPL games.

    However, he has been very poor in the past two games. For the money we paid it's a concern.

    In fairness to him he never hides.

    Woeful today. His passing, outwith the ball to Tierney on Wednesday, hasn't done it for me. I've seen some rave about his passing ability. I personally think it's terrible.

    Easy to forget his age IMO. He's learning on the job at this point, needs to develop the mentality to be a Celtic player. Has all the raw tools though.

    His age? He’s 21 he should be able to play simple passes at 21

    He’s not comfortable in sitting mid that was obvious, his positioning was all over the place and looked a yard off the pace. Got to remember he’s still young and learning and today never had Brown or someone experienced to guide him through it.

    Just needs time, too early to judge if he’s brilliant or terrible.

    His passing is actually good. That's why myself and others are so frustrated when he plays like he did today. He's so much better than that.

    Exactly, he’s been inconsistent which is normal for a young player.

    Was going to post similar. Looks utter class at times and other times aweful. Think he'll come good

    He doesn't have the awareness to play with his back to the opposition goal. When he comes deep to take the ball off the defence he gets caught on the ball far too often as he doesn't know when he is being closed down, leading to either losing the ball there, or rushing his pass which then tends to be wayward. He looks much better when he is playing ahead of Brown or Kouassi and picking up the ball when facing the opposition.
