    He was good before his suspension mate, I thought he’d be better can’t blame Rodgers on Yang being * yday

    Seemed to be spooked by the occasion. Didn't settle, and seemed to mistime the pace of the game.

    His ability on the ball is very good. He is capable of beating anyone when in a one on one. However he never seems to be aware of what is going on around him and he doesn't seem to have much tactical nous. I am not sure that type of thing can be taught. In big high pressure games in particular the best players in our team always seem to be situationally aware. I get that he is young at 21 but he is old enough to be aware of what is around him.

    Sorry M8, I can't recall him "being good" and I really tend to have rose tinted glasses on when assessing a new player (done it Nawrocki, The Belke and many others in the past)
    Glimpses? - possibly, but that's about it.
    20% of Abada's value imo - in terms of his contribution.

    Still a young guy but it is worrying how poor he has been in bigger games. Was awful anytime he was on in the Champions league and although Idah made a mess of the one where he should have squared it, when it did come to Yang he still has the ball on the edge of their 6 yard box and just gives it away, a sign of totally panicking. Whereas had that been Kuhn I would have fancied him to pick someone out or get a shot off.

    Decision making does seem really poor, in all phases of play, example above combined with what he did for the Matondo goal.

    He has a place against weaker opposition but the fundamental question for me is was he really the best option out there for us at over £2m? Did he massively improve our options out wide when we needed two first team ready wingers? His actual output this season has been on par with Mikey Johnston in more game time and the verdict was resoundingly Johnston is not good enough.

    Sadly I probably have more hope for him than Kwon or Oh, which probably says more about where they are.

    He's fine backup. The fact we were relying on him a few weeks ago is more a reflection on the club.

    Can't get over how poor he was for their 3rd goal. Just completely gives up. Doesn't show Matondo on to his weaker foot at all. Embarrassing. Pretty much cost us the win.

    Kwon was hauled off at half time on Saturday and according to couple of my mates who are St mirren fans he was awful.

    They have given him plenty of praise to be fair too but agree all 3 need a full season out on loan bcoz none of them currently have the consistency to be playing with us. Although being honest I have my doubts if any of the 3 ever will.

    It was a very poor decision to bring him on.
    Yang is fine when we've got lots of the ball and looking for a goal - but when you need a sub that puts hard yards and also has to defend, it's simply not him.

    Aye a loan of a footballers body, he's fkn gash and needs punted. Both Killie wingers are levels above him, that's where he is.

    How people want to persevere with him I'll never know.

    He was poor for it definitely but AJ was pathetic for that goal, not just his * attempt at clearing it, he ran back and hid inside not doing anything. He steps up at all covering the room that was left for him to cut into, he’d have not been able to get that equaliser it’d have been easy to handle. He * it, tucked in doing nothing and left a young winger to deal with the winger he should be dealing with.

    As * as Yang was as well, I expect AJ to be so much better every step of that.

    I don't see it as being on AJ at all, it was Yang's man.

    Even his attempted clearance isn’t on AJ?

    From the little bit I’ve seen of Kwon I think he’s one of the poorest players we’ve signed for quite a while.

    I only caught 2 games or so when he first went and was happy with what I seen. * knows since then, he was also playing different than I thought he was judging from the glimpses pre-season he was more box to box than a deep lying playmaker type. He’ll not make it here though regardless, another year loan, maybe to Championship we may get a fee though. He has something about him, not enough though.

    If his loan spell there has made us think he could return and be an option, another loan in our league though, if not get him somewhere for an inflated fee. MJ’s loan has made his fee go from a consolation afterthought to demanding actual good money. Down there of somebody performs, suddenly the fees a lot more than if they were even coming off the bench being useful for us. We complain about how close England markets * us up, but we can use that as well. Haksa I thought would be one of them, turns out MJ was that.

    He's baws.

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I think out of the 3 South Koreans, Kwon has the best chance of doing anything here.
