    I thought technically he was absolutely superb. His decision making was spot on as well.

    I love the kid.

    You know what he did well? See the role of going wide to receive the ball around halfway/just inside their half. He did that so well yesterday.

    That really * teams up when a midfielder can do that job well. That's a subtle place were quality makes a huge difference. Hatate was always good at it under Ange and McCowan did it well yesterday a few times.

    It can be hard playing against your former team, as they've worked with you every day. Thought he did well.

    I'm not surprised how well he's doing..

    He's already an important and reliable member of the squad.

    A lot of talk about him being a good squad player, but I reckon he’s played himself into contention for a starting spot in our midfield, with a full strength squad to choose from.

    Been said already, but had he been the £9m signing we’d be pleased with how he’d started.

    Feel like that was a game that was crying out for bos energy. Manager got it wrong, despite us winning as the midfield looked very leggy for the most part..

    These are exactly the games he should be starting.
    Energy sapped midweek game, tricky away ground against a wee hun team. We needed his energy and wee bit of gallus swagger

    Instantly getting in about it and digging out their players. He just deserves far more game time..

    Nice quality on the ball and that's twice now against Dundee and Killie where he's bent one from outside the box, just by the post..

    He's deffo scoring at Tynecastle..

    That was a game tailor made for him to play in for me. He’s played at Rugby park before so knows the state of the pitch and what to expect from their Rugby style approach.

    I'd definitely start him against the diet huns as he looks more up for the battle than Engles who has really disappointed me so far
