    Don’t think he’s been poor or * at all, he’s done what he’s been asked to do efficiently as always.

    It’s what he’s been asked to do that’s the issue...

    Just gone stale, needs a new position.
    Maybe flourish if Brown dropped and he is given the Brown role and the armband?

    Our best player and has been playing in Roles that aren’t his best for ages. He’s a 10 and best when he’s playing quick passes with the two strikers or picking out an overlapping run from the wing. But because he’s such a quality player and workhorse he’s asked to play a role in the centre of the park picking everything up. All our play goes through him at some point whether it be defence or attack. We should be just utilising his attacking prowess and leaving the donkey work for some other *

    Rumour doing the rounds he's another who's wanting away. Can't see that being true surely. Ffs

    He must see all the other guys like McGinn, McArthur, Tomminay and others that play down in the EPL get paid very well for it, get plaudits and think why hang around for CL football if we never make a proper go of it.

    Also look at the likes of McGregor who came on under Rodgers and thinks why not go play for him again.

    Exactly what I thought. He already admitted last season that he was aware of Leicester's interest in him but didn't want to push for a move. Could he have had a change of heart this time around (if of course rumours are true).

    Came out last season he apparently wanted away. Hasn’t really been the same player since, bar a handful of games.

    I’ll be gutted if he goes.

    He hasn't performed this season. Needs to up his game.

    I agree he hasn’t been at his best but I don’t think sitting as part of the deep lying two in a 4-2-3-1 is his best position.

    He was noticeably more effective in the 3-5-2 where he had more licence to get forward. He also looked good playing as a deep lying playmaker when we had The McGregor, Christie and Rogic midfield during the first half of 2018/19 season.

    He clocks some miles up pressing and covering and has an abundance of quality in that left peg..

    Unreal for the first goal when we were crying out for a bit of quality..

    Great to watch all day..

    Don't want to temp fate lol, but i'll be astonished if there are no bids for him, he could easily cut it in the EPL.

    What O'Dea said was true, ideally we'd have a McGregor at number 10 and a McGregor playing deeper where he does play, he's probably our best player in both positions but he plays deeper as hes much better there than other people who play there where as we have other decent options in the 10.

    Much better today.

    Get Brown out of the midfield and let McGregor run it.

    We need to keep him no matter what, he is a massive influence on how we play.
