    Really wouldn’t worry about the result.

    Huns are already comparing the two, which is honestly music to my ears.

    Minimum we need signing wise IMO is

    Goalkeeper
    Two centre backs
    Left back
    Right and left wingers

    Dembele is a fantastic talent running with the ball but I always thought he is too lightweight and the last two appearances and has done nothing to change my mind. Pushed off the ball way to easy and in the last match he didnt even jump for a ball in our box.

    Aye 100% seems to be wrong side constantly when defending. But he definitely has something about him.

    I think we need a 1st choice LB, would have Taylor as back up.

    Aye, I worry about Taylor's pace in Europe up against pace but his positional awareness, passing and crossing is superior to Boli.

    Aye, I can see a loan back to Rapid happening.

    What's that * Stewart (who I quite like actually) talking about, soft decision, he fouled him.

    Still can't believe the officiating, from VAR to refs, they're having a laugh. I know it's only a friendly tournie, but * me, this is standrd in Europe tbh.

    As others have said, Klimala, Dembele and Soro have been the best so far, Robertson has been OK too. Would like to see us go through a couple of they * in the 2nd half though, cos they've not been holding back.

    Ive defended Boli a bit on here as I think he can still be a player for us with a loooot of work but his positioning at times is mental.

    Dembele is completely out of his depth and Henderson has been awful with a fairly petulant attitude , soro been very impresssive bar bit raw with ball at his feet

    If Dembele and Mikey can step it up this season I think the wide areas are okay and will be last on the list of the priorities. 2 CBs would be magic, but I expect only 1. GK and LB completely agree.

    Taylor's number one left back at the moment, no question

    Must be watching a different game from me because Dembele is showing he can fight against top level pro's and with a run of games could continue to grow in to a cracking player.

    Would like to see Robertson get a run out with our stronger team against PSG or another friendly. Looks so composed.

    Aye think 3 or 4 of them in the first half would all look good in a full strength side to help bring them on.
    Obviously shoving Henderson and Robertson out in an SPFL match would be suicide, but one of them alongside McGregor could work

    Absolutely. He's tenacious as *, won the ball back well for that move and played a few nice passes. Early days but he'll only get better.

    GK
    CB
    LWB
    ST

    Aye the priority imo.. Maybe one winger who can play either side.

    Forrest, Elyounoussi, MJ, Dembele
