    Loved the way he played yesterday, we need him to build on that. Always available for the ball and making angles for the pass between himself, McGregor and Rogic. Turning and getting the ball up the pitch quickly.

    One think I really like about him is that he never hides. Even though some things did not go for him yesterday, he always showed for the ball.

    If any player has shown the need for us to have sports scientists and dieticians brought in to the club ASAP then Turnbull is that player

    Got the assist late on and was decent on the ball but I want more from him in the big game's..

    I don't want neat and tidy. Want him taking a bigger game by the scruff of the neck..

    As I say, he was decent today and no bad at all but I want more from him. He has it in him..

    He was heavily involved in all 3 goals, and played some sumptuous passes throughout. Is it because he didn't score? Because if my attacking midfielder was creating 3 goals every game, I'd call that taking the game by the scruff of the neck. I'd happily see Turnbull score no more goals this season if he contributes like that every game.

    No..

    I already said he was decent. Just want there to be a high level game where he bosses it, that's all..

    Agreed. It felt wrong writing it. :56:
    Yeah, I wasn't having a go, just pointing out that his contribution was more than you could expect from an attacking midfielder. However, I think we all know he is capable of greatness, and has the potential to go up a level. Which means our expectations are higher for him than some others. Much like Callum MacGregor. Although he was generally playing competently last year, we knew he was capable of so much more, which he is showing this season.

    I do think his corner deliveries are poor-way too much height. We have now got decent areal threat with CCV, Starman, AR and Ajeti, just need to improve the deliveries and we should start nailing some corners.

    Boy is not the answer going forward. Unless you're xavi or pirlo, then you need to have some * pace and fitness.
    He's sooo slow and unfit looking, all the time. So inconsistent too.

    Glad I stayed out the way of the love. In he seemed to get on here, cost nearly £4m, I'm sure my words at the time was we could buy Motherwell squad for that.

    A total imposter..

    He takes an absolute age to get the ball under control because he moves like he's 73..

    He's not doing it in these tight games. Seems to be only a player when we are dominating

    Complete luxury player is the best way to describe him...absolutely no use when the going gets tough.

    It’s been said before. He’s either running a game or abysmal.

    All too often it’s the latter.

    Looks like he's 25 years older than everyone else.

    A total disgrace today. Was saying to my brother's after 20mins that he was a shambles and it only got worse from then on. Really, really upset by that performance today. A long way from acceptable.

    ive never seen a player as static as him.
