    From now on anyone (and I know I've been guilty in the past) who says he and Broony can't play together should be forced to watch that first half.

    Great to see Ntcham back and that up for the game. Should be fully up to speed by the cup semi-final I would think which is a massive boost for us. Without a doubt we are a better team when Ntcham is fully fit and on form.

    He was really good until he was taken off, I’ve got a felling he will be away in the summer.

    Don’t ask me why but maybe Rodgers will come in for him or he will force a move. Hasn’t been the player he was last season when Moussa was here.

    I can’t see him following Brendan, think Moussa told him he was a rat and he wasn’t giving his all for him.

    He was great in the first half. Looked up for it.

    When he plays like that he is a stick on for the first XI.

    I think that was the difference yesterday, where as before he got injured he had looked lazy and uninterested. Is that the NL effect??

    I think you could argue that he, Brown and McGregor all suit a midfield 3 best. Look forward to seeing those 3 together again and getting the best from Ntcham.

    In a 4-2-3-1 I think they are terrible together, similar to Brown and Bitton. Having McGregor in there helped imo.

    Glad he’s back though, on his day he’s probably our most talented player

    Perhaps the Rodgers/Moussa effect?

    I thought the big man was excellent yesterday! We started to lose it once Rogic came on, as he didn't look fit at all.

    In the first half we dominated the middle of the park. All the through balls came through the middle. That's why I don't understand why we started passing side to side in the second half

    See our first goal.. Brown and Forrest are absolutely bursting their bollocks to get up for support while Ntcham just jogs along. What's that all about?

    He has the potential to be our best player there's no doubt about that.

    He's a really tidy midfielder who doesn't give the ball away easily when in possession. His vision of passing is exceptional too. Great to see him back in the team.

    On his day, great player for us.

    But by * we would be lucky to get what we spent on him(3.5mill?).

    I pressed post on that before he struck that penalty.

    * hate players who try and be fly with their run ups, deserve to have their shot saved (I say this since we are winning).

    I'm. Going against the grain it seems, thought he was pretty average at the weekend and has been fkn brutal tonight.

    I think he's turned into someone who thinks he's actually better than he is already.

    Would flog in a second in the summer. Anything over £4m I'd bite.
