    He has a bit about him but he's not really got the best of pace for playing out wide even though he does control the ball well in tight areas and seems a decent crosser and striker of a ball. I think he finds it hard to make runs past people as he lacks the extra yard of pace and always has to double back and take people on again. Would maybe be more suited in the middle but he won't get a game there for us.

    Could make an impact from the bench but probably best to loan him to Aberdeen or Hibs and let him get a full season as we'll have Johnston, Sinclair, Shved, Dembele to get games anyway.

    Never seen such a two footed player in my life.

    Started on the left and was using his right foot to control the ball when running. So that the cut in was always on.

    Moved over to the right and was using his left foot to control the ball when running.

    Never really seen anything like it. Like you get players who can hit the ball with both feet ala Lubo but never seen a player dribble like that with both before.

    His unpredictability has to make him an asset. I think he has to just become more confident and dare i say it arrogant in his play.

    I think he'll struggle for game time with us this year and might benefit from a loan at SPL level.

    I think he was one of the positives to take out of tonight. Looked lively, was always looking to take his man on, some nice touches as well. Promising.

    At the risk of sounding like a contrary *, I think in the games folk have been raving about him he’s been no more than decent. Including tonight.

    He looks like he has something about him. Nothing really special but you have to take into account that he barely played last season.

    Not sure he will be a started for us but I wouldn’t object to seeing more of him.

    Was he injured all last season ?

    He was on loan at Sunderland last season, played 17 games and scored 1 goal down there. No sure about injuries tho

    i like his directness his ability to just get wide and get a cross in, hes got good vision he sees things it was good seeing forrest doing some decent work on the left aswell

    that first half was excellent from us in lots of ways, our tempo passing speed and movement was fantastic we should have scored a few goals at least thats the only down side, hopefully it will come and we can become more clinical

    yep good start to this season if he keeps it up he may well be a success, i do think he needs like most of the young guys to work on his upper body strenth

    Think he’s judged very harshly by some of our support, not saying he’s good enough to start for us but he went out on loan and did okay and seems to be liked by Lennon. I reckon he’ll be given until January to fight and then he will be judged.

    I’d rather he was taking up a spot as a squad player than someone else on mental wages or a loan player.

    I'd keep him around this season, pleasantly surprised by him so far this pre season. I don't think he'll be a automatic pick when everyone is fit but he's a good option to have.

    Tries hard and is decent enough. Either loan him or keep him as a squad player, we need better.

    Lenny clearly fancies him though.

    The thing that he done last night that stood out was his crossing, put some quality balls in. Should of been on corners.

    Not going to rave about him but already looks sharp early on and eager to impress, his work rate is excellent as well. Says a lot he’s playing ahead of Sinclair.

    It's hard to know what will happen to him. At the moment 3 of our 5 recognised wingers (wont include Dembele or Okoflex at this stage) are out injured/unfit. If Johnstone pushes on, Shved shows what he showed in Ukraine or Sinclair looks sharp, Morgan will find it difficult. Arzani is an unknown quantity too. Could be class.

    Upto Morgan to keep these guys out though. If he does then it means we have a fine player

    Very impressed. He has great ability and much better than Johnstone for me. With a run in the side we could have a Nakamura in our hands here.
