    1 game isn't enough to make any sort of judgement if he'll fit in.

    Especially when the players around him are absolutey * atm.

    For someone out of the game for as long as he was, he looked more than capable.

    Good defensively, need to see more of him going forward though, never seemed willing to run at his man yesterday, to eager to pump the ball jnto the box if he had possession in their third

    I'm not writing him off after one performance against the huns, but in my opinion I don't think he played well.

    He put in a few good crosses, but two things I remember was tavernier putting him on his *, and him getting passed around and losing arfield who set up the second goal. Again I'm not writing him off but he didn't get pass marks in my eyes.

    Not even gonna comment on him as it would be very unfair.

    I would have expected him to be the most off the pace and poorest of our XI all things considered yesterday, but he wasnt. Which says it all.

    I think he played very well all things considered.
    Not kicked a ball for a long time.
    New environment
    Can't speak the lingo
    New team mates
    Just a few of the challenges he had yesterday...I thought he did well and easy to see there's a good footballer there who's way above the standard we would be signing on a 3 or 4 year deal.

    Along with Brown, Welsh and possibly Mcgregor on account of his first half effort, in my opinion one of the few players to come out with any credit at all.

    I like the specky left wing back.

    He looked like he cared more than most of our other players which is * mental.

    DL: "Tomorrow night will be a difficult game. We need to play a precise game to get the result we want. We're looking forward to a great battle tomorrow."

    DL: "We've got to have faith in our play and be aggressive. We've got to stick together because this is a winning squad

    DL on AC Milan: "They're having a great season but every game is different and we'll be looking to get the win."



    DL: "Every team has its weaknesses. We're well prepared, we've got a great coach and we're looking forward to how it will go tomorrow.

    DL on facing his parent club: "I'll prepare for this like any other game. I'll give my absolute best on the pitch.

    All things considered given the time he's had off, he showed more than enough on Saturday that once he's fully match fit and up yo speed he easily starts most games.

    Just need to see more of his ability going forward

    NL on Diego Laxalt: "He's a player I've admired for quite a while. He's got an opportunity now to play on a regular basis at a big club and I think he'll thrive

    Judge him after 5-10 games. Nothing less.

    Lacked a little bit of quality in the final third which is maybe why Milan punted him but he gives everything..

    Presses well and tenacious as *. Always offering..

    No worries about him..

    Once he's up to speed he'll offer us so much.

    Fantastic determination from this guy tonight. Battled for everything and won balls he probably had no right to win. Pity he's being managed by a clown.
