    Saw someone earlier say he plays lone striker well, I don't think he does.

    I think he works hard and done well tonight, but he looked like he needed help big time. We played brilliant in the middle of the park, but for me klimala isn't a lone striker to hold the ball up or ping it to as a target man.
    He's a flat runner, strong and fast. With an eye for goal.for me he needs a partner to play off, to get the support of running in behind as a ball is knocked on or to support in a one-two

    Done really well tonight and his work rate I don't can ever be questioned. But he needs a partner, or else all that hard work will come to very little.

    I enjoy that he gives a * but I'm still not quite seeing it with him yet

    I like him but need more

    He’s a handful but he needs to do more than just being a nuisance. Played well though.

    I think this is why he needs a strike partner. He's a likeable guy and you can see his work rate, but without the partner he seems to just not do enough - but for me it's needing someone else there to play off to make him a finished striker for us.

    Will never be good enough to be our first choice striker but he’s the only one who actually looks like they’re trying just now.

    Technically i don't think he's up to it, but the guy is a grafter, really think when we are signing a striker we need to look at more of a finished article, of course they don't come cheap but would rather that than a few mil towards a player who isn't really the answer.

    He did well tonight. He created a few half chances and passed the the ball well.

    I like him. Haven’t seen enough of him to make a proper judgement but the signs have been good so far. If he starts on Sunday he’ll score...

    still don't see it in him in the slightest. Can't be starting him in leagues based on what we've seen so far.

    Surprised with some of the comments in here. He's a hard worker and has pace, but other than that he showed nothing tonight.

    Obviously he's not had loads of game time, but he's had more than Soro - and you just can tell Soro's a player. With Klimala, I don't see anything that makes me think he's ever going to be anything better than a third or fourth choice striker.

    Needs a loan where he can start games week in, week out.

    Feel the same about him as I did earlier in the season, probably never going to be a 20-30 goal striker on his own, but as a front 2 his workrate and running will open up space for others, he'll help make more goals than he scores.

    Don't think he'll ever be good enough to be a starter here. But as others have said he would really benefit from having a striking partner.

    Thought he linked up well.
    Gave 100 percent.
    Chased lost causes... if only Eddie earned his wages like that.

    Its a grand old team to play for
    Kenny Miller type player, use him to stretch defences in the last 30 mins, I like the big man, think there's something there

    Question his quality all you like but you can’t question his attitude and desire.

    Very harsh comments on here. The lad was thrown in to play lone striker against a top side in a new look Celtic team. He done really well IMO.

    He seems to be Polands main u21 striker so that should tell you something about his potential. He just needs a consistent run of games, from the start or coming on.

    Not an out and out striker but he runs the channels and puts the graft in with good link up play. Will definitely have a role to play if utilised... reminds me of Kenny Miller lol.

    I like him. Granted he didn’t show a whole lot last night but his work rate is through the roof and he breaks the lines well. Fancied him to finish his chance but he just wrapped his foot around it too much. He’d be better with a strike partner. Griffiths and Edouard are both comfortably still ahead of him. Edouard needs to get the finger out now though.
