    Yeah, don't think Lenny using him right, he ain't a striker.

    * * awful effort though with lob.

    Didn't even see Klimala, mind you I actually wasn't watching when the chance came about.

    Wasn't even close either. Still waiting on it coming down..

    He was behind * yesterday. Needs to be offering a lot more with his quality and experience..

    That was pathetic yesterday but he wasn't the only one..

    He's a good player. He's just no suited to the Scottish game or our style of play I think. He's too slow. Thats the only criticism I have of him. We'd have been better playing Rogic in that position yesterday I think

    Obviously got good technique but has no pace or strength. Also looks to have very little appetite for it if a game turns into a scrap. Probably be best used as an impact sub if we're struggling against a packed defence.

    I think he's class and not being used appropriately personally.

    If Lennon had his heart set on playing 3-5-2 then resigning Moi seems irrational given he doesn't naturally fit in anywhere in that system.

    But for me he's a quality player that showed his ability in his first spell at LW. Link up play, goals, getting to the byline, a cracking player.

    If we revert back to 4-2-3-1 and find some stability then I still back him to show his qualities. If we persist with 3-5-2 then I agree that this season could be pretty underwhelming.

    Think we would get the best out of him now that we've signed Laxalt. Throw Moi back out on the left and let him cut inside for Laxalt to overlap or play him in Cam behind TWO strikers I don't like the way we're using him he seems isolated and lost and it doesn't help whoever plays up front either

    He's a winger who can cut in and support the strikers.
    He is not a striker though, and he is not a 433 sort of player in the uber attacking sense we want to pretend to be able to achieve.

    He's a winger. Play him in a 4231 or a 442 as a Sinclair replacement, and he is a great player.
    Play him as we are - like a Samaras - and we see the player he is not.

    Dont think he has done it anywhere near enough to be considered class. Wouldnt put him in the best players at the team bracket, let alone the league.

    He's a CAM all day in my opinion, you could employ him as a left winger now too with Laxalt in the fold. Taylor was awful at supporting him.

    He's a good player but he's not being utilised correctly, as others have said. I can understand Lennon playing players out of position to fill a gap, like we're forced into it for example, but this continually playing players out of position is doing my * nut in.

    There’s no doubt he’s not being utilised correctly. However, that doesn’t excuse his first touch being way off, or him picking the wrong pass etc.

    He needs to get the finger out.
