    Yeah especially in Europe. Have him sit in next to Cal and allow Hatate bit more freedom. Can't believe he never done that 15 mins into Dortmund game

    I think maybe because Engels has the athleticism and probably the legs to be the all action, box to box midfielder akin to what Mctominay is.

    Keep Hatate away from the team until his attitude improves. It’s sticking out like a sore thumb he’s our worst player at the moment. So slack with his passing. He offers very little. Hasn’t contributed in a positive manner in a game for a long time. Must have the poorest goals and assist’s in the team.

    Looked great in the sitting role, definitely more comfortable in there and Bernardo is better further up the pitch.

    Another good game in my opinion. I think he’s settling well overall.

    You can see he has quality too. He’ll develop well.

    Actually didn't like his performance..

    Thought he was quite slow. His passing was really bad at times and his shooting from distance was even worse..

    Fair play winning the ball and his wee run and slipped pass for Kyogo..

    Looked better in the deeper role.

    Can definitely see him getting better in time, has a good turn of pace. Was a bit quiet as the game went on but his work and run for penalty was excellent. Not afraid to have a dig either which is sometimes something we're missing.

    He wasn’t great.

    One thing I did notice though, he gets some power on his long shots. Bit better placement and he’ll score plenty for us.

    Looks more natural in the deeper role than Bernardo I think, would imagine he will take over that role even when they play together in future, just takes up better positions when in possession.

    Played 6 in Germany so not surprising.

    Does look a bit slow at times. Think he's one that takes a while to get going on the sprint.

    Poor tonight other than that one run. Not seeing it in him at all.

    I'm also in the 'he looked much better sitting deep' club.

    Another thing he could likely use from the deeper role is his late runs into the box, he only managed that once last night where Palma played a cracking reverse ball to him and a good block from one of their defenders stopped a likely goal.

    Thought he was decent and looked a lot more confident last night, I thought the Dortmund result had visibly affected his performances. Took his pen well too.

    He’ll be our best midfielder in the not to distant future. He’s 21 remember and just moved country and club. You’d think he hasn’t had a good game yet by some of the comments. He’s only started 8 games and was pretty good in a few of them.

    3 goals from the spot and a couple of assists in the CL. Not a bad start. Team since Dortmund has changed so much every game there’s not been much fluidity as earlier in the season.

    Once we get more settled and some players back he’ll start to shine.

    We killed the game off minutes after he entered that role. I think anyone would’ve looked fine in that position with having the time and being able to just spread the ball about to free men.

    I’m sure he could play the role in a more meaningful scenario but think he should be further forward for now.

    I'm still frying my brain at how he's suddenly looking laboured when trying to cover the ground. He looked much more mobile in his first few games..

    Now looks a bit slow..

    It's where he played for Augsburg too, so that's probably what people are picking up on. Natural that he'd be more comfortable in the position he's played most.
