    Jesus! Folk had this guy as the Messiah before ever having seen him kick a ball. And he cost a few million, not 50! Of course he wasn't going to be everything everyone wanted... Our players aren't even a week out of quarantine together and folk are expecting prime Barcelona! Give the guy a chance! We've had hundreds of players pass through the team who were written off in the first game, or even before... There's no way he could possibly fix the * of our defence himself, on his first day...

    First impressions are not good though. Forget about the rest of our failings, looking at him as a player - not good in the air, not quick, weak in the tackle, passing was not great. Some of that is solely on him and nothing to do with the rest of the team. Hopefully he improves with time, he has to. Before anyone starts I’m no writing him off it’s just my initial observations.

    Of course he was gonna be rusty, just in the country and at Tynecastle. Some poor moment's but also saw positives..

    I know he's played left centre half plenty but he doesn't look the most comfortable on that side. I'd like to see him on the right side. His passing and turns were quite predictable because of the chopping on to his right and no being comfortable enough like a VVD or Ajer there..

    Ideally get someone in who is actually left footed, or more of a natural on that side..

    He'll come good. Was still good signs in amongst that shaky start. Was composed enough and his recoveries were on point..

    Apart from the mistake for the goal he done quite well i thought to be honest.

    Exactly but imagine we signed guys where you were saying....he looks a player and he's only had one session with the team, superb stuff.


    Instead we're signing a guy that gets totally embarrassed for their first goal but oh well I suppose we give him a 'pass'.

    The goal wasn't his only mistake. He was nutmegged by boyce shortly aftewards. Misjudged the bounce of a ball to let Boyce in again. I could go on.

    I also saw enough to suggest he had a decent side to his game though. He looked like he enjoyed an aerial battle. He looked strong too. Not afraid to muscle a player off a ball.

    I'd like to see him and Welsh/Julien together. Bitton is a * *.

    I won't judge a player till he gets at least 15 games in the side and will have a better idea then .
    Again these players should have been in the door a month ago to play in the qualifiers and league games and it's the same old * show every season .

    Worrying debut I won't lie but there's also a lot of factors playing into it.

    But definitely need a couple more CBs...we knew that already.

    His stature worries me slightly.

    Thought he looked a tad uncomfortable on the left hand side of defence.

    Powderpuff in the lead up to the goal, but not gonna judge him on one game.

    Some players take a season,some take a few games and some hit the ground running right away.Im not judging the guy on one game.

    Last one was wrong too, Abada wasn’t in it initially.

    Early days but I don't think he's going to be a no1 CB for us. Will need a solid partner.

    Hes not suited to the left side either. Said it 2 or 3 times but i get sviathchenko vibes in the way he marks players etc..probably give away a fair few fouls.
