    He's alright for games in the SPFL, but he should never be starting for us in Europe.

    Jogging you say? Sauntering with his hands behind his back and his big *-eating grin across his mug.

    As I said in the match thread, I don't want to get on his case too much as I think he may actually have learning disabilities. I mean he makes the same mistakes game after game after game after game afte.... You get the point.

    Can now say I've been wrong about him. Never gonny make it at Celtic, his discipline is shocking and amateurish. His booking * him making the challenge for their 1st and his effort to get to the guy for the 3rd was a * disgrace.

    I like many other are starting to see he's a liability. Was walking on egg shells after 20 mins. He'll cost us points and games unless he can learn how to tackle properly.

    So rash man. Any glimpse of the ball and he fires into a tackle. Looks good when it comes up and he made a couple of good tackles, but so often it's not really on and he puts us under pressure. If he can't learn that he'll get nowhere.

    I never bought into the hype surrounding him last season, but I understood the reasoning for some of the adulation.

    Still, he offered something a wee bit different so I was looking forward to seeing more of him.

    I’ve now seen enough! Move him on next window please.

    Basically you're right, but one part of why we suck defensively is that other midfielders don't tackle much, and have bad stamina. My personal preference is- make the foul early (far away from goal). Soro will have to play some games, because overwork has already caused McGregor to get injured (slightly?).

    I love the chap. But he seems a real liability. He's gonna walk in a close game and cost us.
    If he could just hold himself back he'd be a smashing player.

    Headless chicken!

    He DOES offer some wee glimpses of quality. I love his sharp turn and pass when he's facing his defence, and he CAN intercept balls well.

    BUT, those count for nothing when you make idiotic decisions and jog about the park when your team are on the backfoot.

    I pointed that out on another thread, we must have been really bad last season as he looked a decent player. Just shows how bad Scott Brown was in his final year.

    Just doesn’t have the touch or the decision making. Always believed he’d develop that, but we’re, what, 18 months down the line(?), and it’s just not coming.

    So, so hasty. Loses the ball far too often to make it here.

    He can be coached through rashness and poor decision making but he needs to start showing that soon.

    We’ve been saying this same thing for months and months, though.

    Comes a point where you ask, how much time does he actually need? There’s ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ and there’s trying to make the Coliseum out of Play Doh. Growing convinced he simply doesn’t have what it takes.

    Think there clearly wasn’t any coaching going on last season, so I discount that. Ange would have taken a bit of time to see what was needed for him to make sound judgement, and then it’ll take a while to come into but he needs to show some improvement there.
