Batistuta87 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Told yous he was a player. Ran the show last night and caused us loads of problems. Thought, grudgingly, that his technique, vision and positioning was excellent. Gutting as it is I don't mind admitting when they've signed a good player. Not that it happens often, but they definitely have done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyRightPeg Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Step above us and Hibs. Sometimes you just need to enjoy watching a player. Not necessarily wishing him or his team well, but just enjoying the way he plays the game. Seemed to have time and space everytime he had the ball last night. Difficult to do in a game which is so high tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect the fact that he has only played a few games caught our management out in terms of knowing what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is actually a wee bit funny, since they were clearly delighted with the draw and trying to protect it but we were raging 🤣 He played well though. I was glad they did that when they did as I didn't really want him pushing hard for the last 10mins and maybe getting something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 He scored a goal which was down to our defending. He missed a big chance at the end of the first half, then faded out of the game.

You can @ me if you want. I'm a Hearts fan first and foremost, but I love football and love watching good players. We've been screaming out for a #10 for 3 seasons now, and last night he showed how to play the position effectively. First half in particular he was a class above every single other player on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glad they did that when they did as I didn't really want him pushing hard for the last 10mins and maybe getting something. He was blowing out his hoop. Said that to the boy next to me and 5 mins later he was hooked. A good player but not one I'm particularly bothered about. We were shocking defensively down our right hand side all night and he was clever in dropping in there and exploiting the 2 v 1 they constantly had. He'll blow hot and cold in this league. He's their Barrie McKay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a deby you shouldn't get a minute on the ball and we were too passive. We've played in Europe against guys of similar even better. We need to learn lessons.

Famous 1874 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Can tell he is a good player but I wouldn’t say he ran the show. He was often in acres of space but either didn’t get the ball enough or was wasteful. Scored his goal but you’d expect anyone competent to bury it.

Mikey1874 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Set piece delivery was good. Brilliant of Hibs to take him off when they had a corner.
