    He was easily the worst player on the pitch on Wednesday night. As bad as brown and ntcham were, at least they were trying to get on the ball and weren’t hiding. It’s no coincidence that we started to play a lot better when he came off

    The whole team was poor mate,imo Forrest,Rogic and Dembele were our best players,coming on as subs,so possibly more to do with player instructions?

    Yeah, I agree with you, but at least the rest of the team tried, I honestly don’t remember him touching the ball in the first half.( and I wasn’t even drinking )

    @georgiebhoy sorry bud I edited my post before you replied,I rate Armstrong highly,think he is at his best playing deeper,breaking into box.This is our best midfield 3 imo

    Brown Armstrong

    2 games in the Champions League, 2 poor performances. It has to be said. ‘Legs’ or no ‘legs’.

    We won 3 nil in Belgium without him and whilst I’d never for a second suggest he’s the reason, Rogic or McGregor deserve to start in front of him.

    Agree with the comments above about him being best from deep.

    He's best in a middle 2 because his best attribute is the way he covers the ground. In a 3 he's getting in people's way and vice versa. And he isn't creative enough in the advanced role.

    For me, Rogic,McGregor, Ntcham and Armstong all bring different qualities to play with Broony and depends on how BR views the opposition as to who will play.Im happy with them all...Ntcham is still being developed by BR.
    Armstrong and McGregor are more flexible and both have played at full back when required.
    I think Armstrong will start against Hibs, him and Brown will take it turns to cool McGinns jets(who had an excellent game at Parkhead)
    Wouldn't be surprised that we get a big win at Hampden.

    Been a man down in the last two games, gave the ball away a few times today and looked like he was blowing out his * second half.

    For me he's been nowhere near the player he was last season.

    Him and McGregor were the best players on the pitch in the first half. Linked up really well and were about the only two players attempting forward passes.

    Dropped off massively in the second half, though.

    Starting to think we should've cashed in in the summer he's be woeful at times this season, no consistency both domestically and in Europe. For someone who probably wont sign a new deal and wants to play in England you would think he'd have stepped up a level this year to get a decent move or at least maintain the form of last year, personally think he's gone back to the kind of form he had under Deila.

    Doesn’t deserve to be playing when he isn’t providing the dynamic energy he can.

    The long and short of it is, Tam and McGregor are better footballers.

    Yup.

    Ntcham is probably already ahead of him in the pecking order at CM, and hopefully Eboue is soon too.
