    Think if the huns put the press on us tomorrow his passing will be massive. Can zip balls about like mad. When he's on it, he's a Rolls.

    If they press us he'll disappear.

    Funny how people can view things so differently.

    It is. I suppose he's not the first to divide opinion - I accept I'm on the smaller side of the divide but I just don't get what people see in him.

    3 seasons of 'but when he's on it'. Think it might be telling us something.

    I think he’ll be a key player tomorrow.

    That label could be placed for almost every single big game player we’ve had this decade; VVD, Dembele, Rogic, Forrest, Sinclair et al.

    If a match winner is ‘on it’ then you win matches, Ntcham is no different in that respect.

    I think Lennon pretty much confirmed the starting line up will be the same as the game on Thursday.

    Mental, innit, how differently we see things. Since Lenny has been back, Ntcham hasn't put a foot wrong in my mind. Maybe last year he looked huffy or disinterested, maybe that was a symptom of everything else that was happening in private at that time. But he's been nothing but brilliant for Lenny. One of the more common accusations thrown at him is being lazy. Well, he wasn't lazy scoring the winner in Rome.

    Think he’s been on it pretty much this full season and his first.

    After all the supposed kick up about his transfer being rejected and him coming back into the team he’s been superb imo. He is easily one of the better players we have and I hope he’s here for a while rather than sold.

    Agreed. Cynics may say he's playing for a move, perhaps he is, but if that is the case I hope he gives us another season before moving on.

    I think he's defo got all the attributes to be a match winner and a pler bud, just tomorrow I think we need to win the midfield battle and have plenty width too, for that reason my midfield would be Broony, calmac and christie with wee Mikey wide.

    I worry when they animals in midfield start the kicking and pressing he will go AWOL....I'm more than delighted to be proven wrong bud.

    The thing he has in his locker that not many of our other players have is a killer through pass under pressure. Could be vital on the break when the uglies are pressing us, him and Edouard are too good for them.

    I like Ntcham, but Lenny moving Forrest left and Christie right just so he can fit Ntcham into the side is mental. If he's not good enough to shift Broony or McGregor then bench him. Christie has to play in his most effective position behind Eddy. Forrest doesn't cut it on the left. Let's not * about here. HH
