    His distribution certainly isn't woeful. Plays a lot of forward passes with a bit of pace behind them.

    His distribution is woeful, he's played a dozen games for us and he already has a highlight reel of shocking passes.

    Was on today for a short period and nearly gifts a goal away through his slack passing.

    It really is , was an accepted and established notion among most fans before he got injured and he was at it again today straight after their equaliser. He gives it way far too often.

    He gave it away once today, admittedly it was almost a crucial mistake. Outside of that his passing looked very much improved from last year, which is good considering that's his first action in the first team in 8 months.

    Jozo Simunovic came off the bench for the final 22 minutes after a proposed summer switch to Torino collapsed.

    ‘Jozo is a class act,’ added Rodgers. ‘He fits the profile of what I like. He defends forward, he is aggressive, wins his headers, can play football and is quick.

    ‘I think there is a lot to come from him. I’m delighted he didn’t leave. I can see why a top Italian team would want him. He is delighted he stayed.’

    Begs the question why the * was he being pushed out if Rodgers likes the look of him and the player himself didn't want to go.

    No sure mate.

    Maybe Rodgers hadn't seen much of him at that point with him just being back from injury.

    His passing isn't woeful, one single video on twitter has concreted your views on his passing, rather than any objective thought

    I'll echo what Rodgers is saying, real class about him and I see a fair lot of potential. I like him very much.

    I don't doubt he has potential but if anyone watches that video and disagrees that his passing has been erratic at best then they are kidding themselves on.

    He's only played a dozen games, it's not as if it's deliberately hunting for poor passes he's made sloppy passes in every game he's played.

    He looked really good, carrying the ball into midfield spraying passes forward but then he nearly cost us when he passed the ball to them, ruined his good display a bit.

    Thought his passing and control was really good yesterday on the whole. One video compilation of him playing poor passes playing through an injury isn't gonna see me writing him off. Rodgers has had a seemingly huge impact on guys like Forrest, don't see why he can't do the same with someone like Simunovic.

    He looked quicker too compared to last season, could be being free of quite a bad injury but he did look a bit slimmer too.
