    Gives a 100% but a shocking player, just doesn’t have a football brain. Would not want him in a free,

    Put him in a decent outfit ( preferably without the * stirrers and passengers we have been carrying for yonks) and he will be a star

    I think the player is there, but we've seen numerous good footballers playing badly for us this season.

    Have to agree. I think he's better than what he's showing... Exactly the same as everyone else in the team.

    Some won't improve dramatically but every single player who was here last year have undoubtedly gone backwards at an astonishing rate. No reason to assume others who joined wouldn't improve under a different manager, and I include Soro and Turnbull in that.

    Footballing brain comes via good coaching. Your not born with it.

    We all seen that he was a decent player with his first two or three matches. I’m afraid we have now brought him down to our defenders level. He will be delighted to get out of Glasgow at the end of his loan spell.

    His final ball is AWFUL. That's it in a nut shell. Taylor is a better player in the final 3rd with his deliveries.

    Thats down to coaching. Rodgers got forrest to take a step back and look. You can tell everyone was micromanaged and improved so much. If he isn't getting told time and time again then ofcourse he won't improve and keep doing it.

    I’ve yet to see him beat a man to whip in a cross and he constantly cuts in and his positioning sense is abysmal. However, that to me comes with coaching. Tell him to stay wide, tell him not to cut in or play backwards if there’s space to drive into, tell him to try beat a man, tell him this is the zone you stay in.
    All these are coach able points and I don’t think he’s been told any of them. We could easily say this about the majority of players in the team.
    More evidence that the management don’t have a * clue.

    I dont buy this coaching thing when it comes to a player his age.
    Experienced international player needs coaching on basic *, naw.
    Tactics yes but coaching??

    Burst out laughing at one of his tackles yesterday, compared to the * that wee * of a ref was blowing for I couldn't believe he let it go. His timing is comical.

    You could put an in prime Roberto Carlos in our team this season and give him 5 or 6 games and he would fall drastically and land in the * level everybody else seems to be at just now.

    Need to rip out the management and start again.

    I agree Laxalt has looked rash and brainless at times, but I wouldn't want to play in a team with the arseholes who play for Celtic just now.

    I would end up wanting to leather Neil Lennon and most of my team mates.

    For those who are in love.....
    Positional sense is non existent..

    Just runs about like a headless chicken..

    Zero quality on the ball..

    All he has just now is being a good 1 v 1 defender..

    Started off quite brightly as well but even at this level you can see he's lacking in many departments. His final ball has been pretty much useless since he walked in the door..

    Started off well but has gone backwards at an alarming rate , another one we should hand back sooner rather than later

    Ever since that goal at Hibs he's gone downhill rapidly

    He’s a class player with no end product. We should definitely be trying to keep him around for next season and work on bettering him.
