    He lost all positional discipline at times. Aye we had to win but he's meant to be the deepest midfielder and was missing so often on that 2nd half

    He's been brutal for a wee while..

    It came out in all it's glory there. Passing was a disgrace for most of the night..

    Disappointing display despite a couple of shots.

    Needs to be less wasteful and more assured in possession. Far to many times he gave the ball away with lazy slack passes tonight

    The number of times he could've slid in one of our strikers and instead tried some fancy footwork or a tame effort * me off.

    His passing was terrible and his shooting even worse. Long way to go for him, but still young.

    He wasn't the worst on the pitch and is playing out of position but I just think he's not ready for this level yet. Still a way to go before he can play in the UCL with confidence. When he is ready he will be some player.

    Was so inconsistent, done some brilliant things and then some * things. Still don’t think he suits that deep sitting role, he’s much better up the park.

    He tweeks his passing I think he will be unreal, always looks for the ball, never goes hiding that’s what I like about him.

    Tried to many risky passes for me, plenty of times he could've picked out a better pass but opted for one that was top risky.

    Also that last effort in the dying minutes, he could've easily set himself to * leather it with his laces, instead of trying to angle it with his instep.

    Mostly poor night. I'm not his biggest fan in the deeper role

    I think he could do with another season after this one at us. He's still got a long way to go, he has all the tools to be a fantastic player, but he's not there yet.

    Genuinely awful moving ten yards back doesn't make you lose all ability

    He wouldn't be the biggest miss. That shows he's got alot of developing to do before he goes.

    He never shied away but was far too inconsistent

    Abilgaard please.

    Think he's got weak ankles as his shots are powder puff.

    Thought he played well, bit taken aback at the criticism TBH.

    He did move out of his position second half - at the clear instruction of his manager as we chased the winner.
