    Playing class recently! Hopefully he wants to stay, but I think he will want away come the end of the season.

    Outstanding last night, for his goal, he actually started the move, deep in our half, skillfully maneuvering past 3 Diets before a sweeping passing move, continuing his run into the box and then being alive to the rebound.

    Hes back to his sublime best. Some of his touches last night were off the scale good. The fact hes keeping someone like Christie on the bench right now speaks volumes. We are just firing on all cylinders at the perfect time.

    the difference now however is that we can surely command a fair bit of wedge for him than if he was doing nothing rotting in the reserves.

    Should get a very good fee for him in the summer if he keeps this form up.

    Lenny deserves a lot of credit for this. He was mentally gone..

    Ntcham after acting the * also deserves respect for kicking on again..

    Looks the player we all know he's capable if being..

    15 minimum in the summer now. We would've struggled to get above half that last season..

    Showing his class and now chipping in with goals and assists, one of the goals last night I think McGregors, Ntcham was surrounded by 4 Hearts players in the middle and just calmly chipped the ball over them into Forrest.

    Has so much composure under pressure, he thrives in those type of games when its all 100mph and he’s just calm as *.

    He's one of the first name's on the team sheet for Europe and the Huns coming up..

    Harsh on Christie who I'd still try and fit in but Ntcham is undroppable just now..

    Aye him and McGregor just run the whole midfield and can do everything.

    I was thinking Christie would come straight in but Ntcham is getting better every game, I still think we miss Christie’s energy though at times.

    It’s a great dilemma to have.

    Was away to say that, against the Huns he’s definitely one of the first names on the team sheet

    A Rolls Royce of a player and my view hasn’t changed. Just * with the interview about wanting away. Could have been translated wrong.:39: :fear:

    Difficult one for Europe because Christie was so good in the group stages

    I think it was Strachan who said recently that Ntcham, McGregor and Broony is a strong European level midfield and you can't argue..

    Ntcham just now is strong and offers the middle a physicality we've lacked in the middle. Box to box. Has an eye for a pass. Plays brilliantly under any pressure or press. Is scoring as well..

    Him and McGregor taking the ball next week is as comfortable as I'll feel in a European tie with Broony behind..

    It's a great headache. Christie will come again and it'll be sooner rather than later where we're having to accommodate but just now I think we continue with the recent trio..

    What a player to bring on pressing high and as another goal threat..

    Looking so strong..

    Definitely..

    Been great since he came back into the team, such a baller and so hard to shake off the ball. Good engine and a work rate that belies his languid style. Chipping in with goals as well now, different attributes to Christie and it's great we have both.

    100% all of this. Too many times in the recent past in Europe when we have been making a sub in a sticky game and the bench is uninspiring. Now we have several options like Christie, Rogic or Griff (if we play one upfront). These kind of players actually give you hope of turning things around.
