    1st time I've been impressed by him!

    Wish we had as many good options on the other side of the park!

    Is he injured ? If not then we didn't we use him last night instead of breaking up our best CB pairing to shunt Ajer out wide.

    Can't use Frimpong in a back four. Could have used him in a 3 5 2 and gave Forrest a rest

    Can’t use Frimpong in a back 4? That’s a new one to me. He’s our best right back and is absolutely fine defensively.

    A far better player than Bauer.

    He's literally played there and been our best right back all season, he was shaky in the first leg granted but he's still far better than breaking up a partnership to get * simunovic into the side.

    You don't rest players in knockout European ties that are on a knife edge.

    Against better sides when Frimpong goes forward Broony moves out wide to cover him, which seriously weakens midfield. It happened in two games against the huns.
    It also happened in the first leg, but it took their manager 45 minutes to realise we had next to nothing in midfield.
    Once he re organised they walked right through us

    Also pish, in both hun games he was our best outfielder, his vastly more experienced teammates passing him the ball and then watching him try and take on 2 or 3 men was a * embarrassment.

    He was our best player, but at the expense of midfield. I'd have him in a 3 5 2 all day long.
    But in a back four, midfield have to cover for him or it leaves the CBs exposed.

    Agree with this. In the last Rangers game they targetted him first 20 mins until others started providing defensive cover. Which pulled the midfield out of shape.

    JF great going forwards and will improve his defensive game with experience. He is only 19.

    I forgot about Bauer but I also agree he'd have been a better option in a 4 than playing Ajer out of position.

    He’s an average right back and wouldn’t have been signed had we known Frimpong was further on in his development than anyone knew.

    Bauer would've made a difference:56:

    He'll be cut loose as soon as the season is done and we'll sign another right back in the summer 100%..

    He could have played right back and allowed Ajer to stay at CB and kept Simunovic out of harms way. So yes he would have made a difference

    That is no doubt on the money although in fairness no one could have predicted Frimpong would do so well so quickly. Bauer seems like a solid honest pro but he is as you say very average ability wise. No question he will return to Stoke when his loan deal ends and that will be that for him in the hoops.
