    Weird how we never use him and Bernardo now even though the midfield is doing nothing. Nygren alone has played over 3 hours more in the League than them combined.

    I think it could be wise to play engels and calmac jn a double pivot with a narrower front 3 with nyrgen off the right. That would allow calmac and engels to drop deepr and allows AJ and either KT or sarrachi to overlap the wide men.

    Tounekti loves to cut inside as does nygren. Would be worth a shot

    Probably our best midfield performance of 2025 was when we battered the sheep at Pittodrie and I believe we had Engels, PB and McCowan. We were quick and exciting. BR changed it soon after. None of our mids have convinced long-term this year but I'd try those 3 to see if they can gel again.

    Excellent first half IMO. His pressing and work rate were both exemplary.

    Played well enough to make sure Rogers doesnt start him again for 3 months

    Waste of time again unfortunately. There's a starting spot just waiting for him but he's just not doing it.

    Ridiculous… he’s the only one showing any drive.
    He’s completely changed this game. The smart thinking from the first corner and the delivery for the second. It’s pretty clear regardless of what he does he’ll never ‘live up to the price’

    Some of his balls have been brilliant tonight. Needs a proper run in the team. I still have hope!

    That second half is the best I've seen from him, he was absolutely everywhere.

    He was so lively tonight. Setup a few really good chances both in open play and set pieces.

    He needs a run in the team.

    He needs to stay in the side.

    I don't know how people don't rate him..

    Unlucky no to score off the line first half and those deliveries from set play or open is top class..

    Tonight proved he's a RM, or a RWB, that's his natural position, whipping in balls from the right hand side of MF, hopefully Brendan can finally see that

    Fantastic, a dead heat between him and scales for MOTM for me.

    He is a good player. Needs a run of games to see the best of him.

    Quite simply has to play all the time. Not just he’s the only midfielder with a bit of legs and dig he’s also got that touch of class that’s been missing so often this season. Outstanding performance tonight.

    I'm the exact same. Worse, I see people comparing him to Bernardo and it just boggles my mind.
