    Some of his hold up play and running with the ball at pace was a joy to watch. Has a real guile about him that I don't even think Dembele had.

    That actually made me chuckle to myself after reading the comment directly above before seeing that picture.

    Orchestrated perfectly :D

    Didn't realise he'd scored as many as that. A good return considering the amount of games played.

    He’s definitely a lot more adaptable than Moussa, looks comfortable coming in from the left, playing target man and holding the ball up as well as getting in behind making a lot of runs. Seriously impressive for a 20 year old and he’s only going to get better.

    Moussa was better in the air and stronger at holding the ball. Edouard is a better dribbler, probably more skillful and quicker. Moussa could turn a player better but Edouard can run with the ball better.

    Both of them are pretty good finishers with decent shots on them, Moussa had a bit more variety in his shooting though Edouard always seems to go for placement and curling

    Aye Moussa was definitely better in the air but I think they are pretty equal for their hold up play, plenty times Moussa’s touch was awful and wasn’t in the mood but of course when he was in the mood he’d bully defences.

    Both very different styles of strikers but both very effective, I think Edouard will get more in goals in Europe for us than Moussa did.

    Ridiculously greedy..

    I've lost count the amount of game's he tries to take 3 or 4 touches to control the ball in the box instead of laying it off just so he can go it alone and take the much harder route of beating 2/3 men to get a shot off..

    Better be up for this tomorrow..

    They know Griff is out and he's all we have. They'll kick * out him for tomorrow and if that doesn't work, try and put him out of the game next week..

    Worst way to treat him for me, he gets annoyed and starts bouncing folk about. Huns tried it twice and he molested them, Motherwell tried it, he scored a hat trick.

    It’s when everythings all nicey nicey he tends to drift out and just try and play nice. * him off he remembers wait am a big * tank, lets ragdoll folk.

    Good way of looking at it mate..

    His style can look disinterested. Fiddling about with the long sleeves and taking loads of touches. He's rapid. Strong as *. Can carry the ball and finish beautifully..

    I want him taking their manhood tomorrow..

    With no Berra and * Souttar. I'm expecting us to create so much on that big pitch..

    I don't think it'll be close..

    Aye that's what I'm meaning Berra done and Souttar recently put out and I don't rate him so know they're playing a loan boy Dunne and someone else so we should be filling our boots with their high line on this size of a pitch..

    Crowd will be right up for this and we'll rub it right in their faces, all going to plan..

    I'm no sure how big but I'm assuming it's close or possibly even bigger than ours..

    Terrible for them..
