    I'm happy with him so far. Good strength, nice footwork on the ball, always showing for the ball whether it's to feet or in the air, he made plenty of runs last night trying to get in behind their defence and he also has the ability to create opportunities for himself.

    You could see he was getting a bit frustrated last night, as he had his opportunities but I'm sure the goals will come for him.

    I get the sense with him that he'll be a player that plays better against higher quality opposition and he'll be a big game player for us. That's just an early observation though, I could be completely wrong.

    He's still settling in, just desperate to get his first goal. It's really a good sign that he's putting that sort of pressure on himself.

    he makes some good runs as well looking for the ball over the top. Sometimes i feel our midfielders are too afraid to have a long ball pass up front. Both him and Griffiths at times peeled off their markers in acres of space looking for a pass over the top to run on to but they never got the service. genuinely think that a playmaker style is needed in the middle of the park that can find passes like that. We do lack that in the midfield

    Rogic can be a play maker, as can Allan.

    "Moussa has certainly shown what he can do already. Moussa has a lot of good assets. He is strong, fast and holds people up.
    He also has a real eye for goal and will score lots of goals here, I am in no doubt about that."

    The more him and Griffiths the better they'll get. Moussa showed he is great in the air and can be a target man but also has the pace to get in behind. Already seen a few bits of interplay between them last night, a lot more to come.

    From the little I seen of the match he was really putting himself about, I always like watching a player give it 100% regardless of performance. Him and Griffiths up front will put defenders under a lot of pressure and we should be playing that domestically.

    Guy saying Ciftci is better is off his head

    Snatching at chances at the moment, just nerves and wanting that first goal.

    He put himself about quite well against Red Imps I was surprised by the size of him. He'll do a good job with Griff up top it's our 3rd choice that concerns me Ciftci can't be our next choice striker.

    Another frustrating performance.

    Early days. If he scored that bicycle kick first half we'd have seen a different performance. Needs confidence.
