    Worry for me is that every time we sign a midfield player with drive within weeks we seem to stop them doing it

    He’s far less inspiring than Engels was at this point in his first season.

    We seem to sign midfielders with the ability to take games by the scruff, but they just don’t have the mentality to do it.

    I think the 4-3-3 needs ditched. We have several players who look more comfortable as a no10 or inverted winger/CAM.

    Rodgers needs to see that surely. Nygren and Balikwisha would both benefit.

    These guys aren't poor footballers. They've both played at a good level and been successful.

    Agree.
    Is it the Calmac negativity disease that infects the new guys or is it the Brendan 'thou shalt not lose the ball' mantra?

    Agree also ref systems, we are far too predictable and easy to play against.
    Just man mark the 3 midfielders and we are busted.

    Rogers really has to shake the formation up now and then.

    Really struggling to work out if he’s good or not, at times he takes it on the half turn like Rogic and others it bounces off him. Hopefully once he knows the role inside out he will kick on because he should have all the attributes to play that role for us when drifting wide etc

    He is one of those clumsy looking player that looks much worse than what he really is. created 2 of the goals yesterday.

    He's very effective, two assists and his challenge in our box, set off the move for Tounekti’s goal.

    He has been easily the biggest positive out of the summer shambles.

    To be honest, nobody we bought for this summer has been bad... Just a couple we don't know about yet, and a whole lot of business we DIDN'T do... That's not the players faults!

    Are they worldie signings? No! Are they bad? Also, appears to be, no!

    His stats will be good but then so were Palma’s…

    I’ve no real issue with his lack of speed in terms of physically getting up and down the park but he really needs to sharpen up his decision making, which makes me think he could come good here because that’s a mental thing as opposed to not physically being capable of it.

    He’s clearly a talented player and Rodgers has already stated if he makes the right runs at the right times he will score plenty for us.
