    Today was the first day I thought ‘thank *, he’s back’. He’s not quite 1st season form, but he’s getting there, or I hope he is.
    Also first time I’ve said in a while that I’d start him ahead of McGregor.

    he's making progress back to his old self, the way he set up the first goal was outstanding

    Still taking a few too many touches and looking a bit indecisive, but definitely an improvement.

    I think he links up better with Izzy than he does Tierney tbh. Izzy was getting him in behind, Tierney prefers doing it himself.

    I genuinely thought he was poor today. Apart from the assist, he gave the ball away far too much and had a poor first touch.

    Looking better than he did in the 2nd half of last season good assist today in his 1st season scored a few goals cutting inside tried one today sailed high but the confidence seems on the up

    He turned a few * inside out today and that’s something he’s not done for a while. Did it to set up the first goal. He’s coming back.

    I thought his touch was abit poor today noticed it a good few times along with a few brilliant touches. Still thought he was decent and over the last few games looks like he’s getting back to himself.

    he's definitely finding a bit of form, starting to find his little pockets of space around the edge of the box to get his curlers away like he did in his first season.

    he could do with a run in the team now to keep that going.

    Brilliant to see him getting back into it. Outstanding player on his day and it was a shame to see him struggling last season.

    Mind Rodgers comments after the pre season game in July saying it’s the hungriest he’s seen sinclair since his chelsea days. Kick on sinky ma mans.

    As much as I want to see this guy get back to his best, my hope is slowly fading!

    BR said at the start of the season he was looking back to his best in preseason and now he isn’t even getting off the bench in some games. Lost his place to Mikey Johnson.

    I know our defence has been ridiculed recently and rightly so but we have been poor middle to front as well, and I think the electricness that Sinclair (when on top form) is a key component missing from the amazing, quick attacking football we seen in Rodgers first season.

    I'm more excited by Mikey. He's got bags of confidence and is going to terrorise defences.

    If we have to lose first team players, I'd rather it was someone like him.

    The team seems disjointed we give Mikey the ball far more then sinclair so it's hard for the boy to do much tbh

    Great assist from Sinclair for the goal there.
