    Agreed, played well but whenever the wide attacking players are effective like they were today then an inverted fullback simply helps in maintaining that possession in the attacking half by flooding the central areas

    Today, he had an easy job and wasn’t needed to create additional chances but that’s the advantage you have with this tactical approach to exploit when the wide players aren’t beating their markers or aren’t needed to make overlapping runs

    Very comfortable win, did the opponents even get a shot on target?

    Really like what I’ve seen so far. Bit of a throwback in the way he plays which suits us, but also very good on the ball. Pretty much nailed on that Taylor starts against the huns but think him and maeda would cause them so many problems, with AJ and Kuhn on the other side

    I like Taylor, always have, but i always think it's difficult to drop someone after a very good performance and he did everything well. Defended well enough when he had to, but his forward play and change of pace at the wing was quality. He's an excellent player.

    I like him but i always would have more confidence with Taylor in the big games.

    He is erratic with his passing like Berebai was which is strange considering his graduation from La Masia.

    Two fullbacks overlapping the winger and putting in lovely low pick outs. The joys..

    He's first choice in my book.

    All the talk of Tierney etc...we should be doing everything to sign this lad.

    Saints rarely attack when they play us at Celtic Park.

    Pretty apparent, similar to Motherwell but less dirty

    Left me with fewer opportunities to see him defensively unfortunately
