    That goal against Ostrava reminds me of big Tams strike against the vermin at the shitpit, vending it past McGregor!!! Quality strike.

    Back to back classy finishes.

    That wee flick through the boys legs near the end of the first half was beautiful.

    Will be between him and Kyogo for POTY.

    He's absolutely class. I don't think we could find a better player to slot into Rogic's role.

    I still keep seeing people say we need to sign a Rogic replacement and I have no idea why, it's been clear from day one that O'Riley was taking his place in the team, that's half the reason Rogic was let go, he just wasn't going to be getting picked over O'Riley going forward.

    Class pler but only problem is.....his Stamina but I'm sure he'll be working on it just like Rogic did when he first came to the Paradise.

    Brilliant. Linked really well with Forrest, they had some lovely interplay first half.

    The lads a bit special. We’ve won a watch here.

    Matty is the Rolex of watches. You buy him and he's immediately worth 10 times what you paid for him.

    Doesn't he have asthma? Was using an inhaler on pitch during Rangers game at Ibrox and sometimes sounds like he is gulping air in post match interviews. He seems like the type to be on top of these things so will be doing everything he can to keep in the best possible shape to mitigate any impact on his game. But may mean their will be a ceiling on his stamina levels. As long as he can keep passing and shooting like he does now and improve on that, it shouldn't matter. Plenty of top top players didn't have amazing stamina. People focus too much on it imo.

    * it just came back to me, Ibrox! he used an inhaler in the middle of match yeah I remember. Paul Scholes played over 800 matches for United as asthma suffer so didn't bother him then.

    I think the one thing that might hold him back from the top EPL teams will be his stamina/mobility, and that can only be to our benefit. A similar situation to Rogic, when he was absolutely flying under Rodgers but nobody thought he could last 90 minutes. If Matty lad sorts that side of his game out he can play wherever he wants.

    Still, I fully expect him to be here for the this full season at least.
