    Malaria when he first arrived Marie.




    I really like him and haven’t seen the game today cos I was working, but playing him in big games and leaving him out every other week makes no sense.

    He's another one that has generally looked ok when he's been in the side, but he's just not getting the game time. To expect him to come in and play a blinder in central midfield in one of our toughest fixtures having barely kicked a ball for a season and a half is a bit harsh. Brendan either needs to give some guys like Kouassi more game time or get rid either on loan or permanently because nobody is winning keep throwing players in to big games like today.

    rogic had a couple of shots didn't do a * of a lot.I thought eboue passed the ball well was quick to support any player with the ball considering his lack of matches i thought he done ok by no means a brilliant performance

    People saying he’s garbage are just being *.

    Rodgers has done the same with Gamboa. Him and Kouassi rarely set foot on the pitch, but for whatever reason get chucked in at the deep end...whether that be Bayern/CL qualifiers or games like today.

    Can’t understand the logic behind it.

    I don't actually think the guy is mince, he's probably a good player, i'm just trying to figure oot why we signed him, because he get's the odd game here and there and then you don't see him again for ages.


    Does Brendan not rate him ? :43:

    After his performance vs Zenit at home last season and several impressive domestic displays he should of been given a lot more game time last season.

    Seems like the majority of the team was garbage today. Since February, Eboue has played 22 minutes against Alashkert. Then he got chucked in from the start at Tynecastle.

    Hung out to dry.

    Said it in the match thread..

    To throw him in was a bit unfair with hardly any game time, in what can be our toughest fixture in a season.

    Makes me think he was a target before BR has come into the club..

    Hung out to dry * all mate, this is always the warcry whenever anyone gets any criticism "Ohhhh scapegoat" blah blah * blah.

    It's a thread about Kouassi so he's getting stick in his own thread for a * * awful performance.

    It only be justified in starting him today, if we win on Tues, otherwise it was pointless and needlessly risky and unfair on him too.

    Not saying he’s a scapegoat. Just saying to completely write him off as a dud is * nonsense.

    Fair enough he was * today. Everybody has a * game from time to time. But I don’t know what people expect when he never gets a look in then gets thrown in at arguably our toughest away day in the past year or so. Obviously he’ll be rusty as *.

    He’s shown before that he has talent.

    I’m sure he was desperate to play today. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be rusty and lacking match sharpness.

    He’s played virtually zero football this season tho, how on earth can he be expected to come in to that game and make an impact.. it took Ntcham totally by surprise last season too..

    Not only this season. He’s barely kicked a ball since he joined, despite looking pretty good whenever he’s had a chance.

    In his defence, you can't have him sitting about for week's and month's on end and then put him in to frantic, past paced battles at Rugby Park and then Tynecastle with no time on the ball in pishy side's..

    Stick him in a home game and give him a chance/run instead of doing it like that. You can see he's someone who likes to get on the ball and pop it off but he wasn't at the right tempo for it whatsoever today as they were all over us..
