    His passing is the least of my worries, the only weakness I can see is quite easy to get in behind. He likes to be touch tight to Strikers and can be caught out if they pull him in then run off him.

    I've always really rated him and was gutted when I thought he was going, delighted he's still here.

    I would play Simunovic in midfield against Kilmarnock. We have 5 daunting UCL games before the window reopens and Bitton has at last been found out. Playing McGregor or Armstrong out of position against de Bruyne and co would be calamitous IMO. Rodgers tried to sell Simunovic because he *probably* wouldn't improve our defence and it would suit everyone if Kolo and big Erik settled in well together. Desperate times call for desperate measures HH.

    Efe will sit in front of our defence and do a Wanyama, just you wait and see.

    Wishful thinking, Efe is ineligible.

    Ok.

    Not really been overly tested, comfy on the ball, won a few headers. Not much he could personally have done about the goal.

    I like his confidence on the ball, passes with real conviction. Fizzes the ball about.

    Not perfect, but promising.

    There's something about him that tells me that he can be a quality player for us. Not Van Dijk level, but still quality. He needs to be tested against better opposition, playing against fat 33 year old Boyd won't make him a better player.

    He was class today. Stepped it up a level second half.

    Strolled it.

    Didn't get tested much but he still stood out. Fantastic on the ball again and always looking to pass it forward rather than sideways.

    Him and Sviatchenko certainly has potential as a pair.

    That is definitely the long term option. Having Toure here will help both.

    Delighted to finally see him partner Sviatchenko for 90 mins, two of them bossed it. Has the potential of a very good partnership, the best here since.... * knows when?

    Individually we don't have a bad defence at all, we just need to be much sharper in Europe as a team and pack the midfield to give more protection.

    Got something of a van Dijk about him with his casual, unhurried play, willingness to get forward, and accurate passing.

    I was shocked when I heard about the Torino move glad he stayed and hopefully is injury free
