    i think we need to be honest about this, the only reason he played from the start thursday is because mcgregor wasnt fit, he hasnt been a regular first teamer since 5 august away to jablonec and previous july games

    since then ange has went with rogic with soro getting no more than 23m in any of the last 7 games, thursday showed the reason why hes been out of it, he isnt good enough at present, only good enough to come on late to protect a lead

    maybe he isnt an out and out defensvie mid ?, to be a regular he either needs to be a brilliant dm or have a bit going forward aswell so we can keep shape and bring him in for one of the other mids in rotation

    Had previously worried about Soro's temper rather than ability but I'm beginning to chalk it up to poor decision-making in general. Repeatedly he seems to make poor choices under pressure, whether it's where he places a pass or when he times a tackle.

    Deserved his slagging Thursday but came on and played the pass of the game in to Ajeti..

    Carter-Vickers maybe the better one for Abada but it was exactly what we were missing. Getting on the ball, looking forward and a crisp pass in-between the centre back's that Ajeti was unlucky with..

    He was a lot busier and positive in his short cameo in my opinion..

    Puts me in mind of N'Guemo strong in the tackle and that's about it

    Think a loan out to a championship club down south would be beneficial

    No having criticism of him today. Came on and showed more energy and purpose than anyone else in the midfield.

    Soro has his limitations as a footballer, but he looks like Zidane compared to James McCarthy.

    Aye I know today's raw, I've taken it badly myself but there needs to be some balance..

    He was slaughtered on Thursday and rightly so for how rash he was..

    Today he came on and made thing's happen. Was getting on it and made that killer pass and was high up, winning back possession high up also..

    I thought the majority of his passing was horrendous today. There was a moment he had the ball at the near touch line and * about with it, ended up running it out. He lost it in a couple of dangerous positions too.

    Thought Soro would do well here as coming from a league we have had good players from before & looked good.
    Looses the ball in terrible areas of the pitch
    Tries to win the ball first time always & gives shocking freekicks away
    Doesn't go forward with the ball as much as i thought he would
    Passing is diabolical at times

    Actually looked better in a more advanced role when he came on last night.
    Might be worth a try JMcC, Soro and Turnbull on Sunday.
    Its just we need to try something different, without CMcG, DT and Tam not working.

    CalMac & Soro should be the first choice central MF pairing when both fit

    I don’t see the buzz about him. Slow and unimaginative

    If he's not getting caught wrong side or fouling , he's simply playing wayward passes. Imposter.

    I wanted him to get a shot for a while, but now watching him is totally infuriating.

    Thought we were getting a poundland Kante, and have just ended up with a * thick * who gives away more fouls than a fat *'s * with flatulence.
