    Was hoping he would get a goal or two today.

    I absolutely love Kyogo.

    But I've always felt that Giakoumakis is made for this game.

    He absolutely bullies their defence.

    I know he hasn't yet scored against the scum but I think he drags them all over the place and has them shiteing it when he's in the box.

    I don't think he was getting clear cut service today but he absolutely made up for it in other parts of his game. Absolutely gets pass marks even though he never scored.

    Thought he was immense today. Maybe didn't get a goal but bullied and unsettled their defence brilliantly.

    Referee was giving him no help but still kept the pressure on.

    Could've scored with that in swinging cross from O'Riley in the first half, but overall he played very well.

    Just loved when he cracked Lundstram. Could tell the * wanted absolutely nothing to do with it after that

    The big sexy * was immense today. Bullied their two CBs to no end and created so much space. Link up play was excellent too.

    I've got no issue with him going into Real Madrid.

    Could see him getting frustrated at times and that frustration probably lead to him missing chances that did come. One thing we were good at last season that we haven't quite mastered this year is service through the middle to our centre forwards. Big part of that is the lack of Rogic whose vision and ability to see our strikers runs was was huge for us. It's probably the missing piece in our attack, if O'Riley and Hatate can improve there we will be frightening.

    I actually reckon his clever movement makes the space for the likes of Jota and Abada to score. If we had a "static" center forward yesterday, Abada does not score those 2 goals.

    Definitely dragged Barasic away from Abada for the third anyway. Barasic looked confused when it went in :56:

    Genuinely couldn't give a * if he doesn't score against the huns in his Celtic career. His overall play has them * rag dolled and he is integral when playing them imo.

    This but when he does get a goal against them it will be so satisfying.

    Desperate to see Big GG score against them. But he rattles them and all their supporters.

    Take this one eg. from FF.

    "Look at the difference between Colak and their Greek. Both penalty box players but one was battering around possessed, taking the ball off our midfielders, barging defenders. The other was trying to snuggle up to their chum in the tunnel."

    Ah, but if he did, he would take off his top to flaunt his big Greek muscular body which would then give you even more of a reason to * him Hammy:86:

    They can't handle him, brings so much more than goals.
