    good player but Brown and Ntcham does not work without another on fire attacking creative midfielder.

    Armstrong (hernia explains why he has not been on song) or Rogic are badly needed.

    Some of his passes were fantastic tonight. Even when Armstrong comes back I don't see how you can keep Ntcham out of the team on his current form right now.

    Our best player just now. Think the 3 of Olivier, Broony and Rogic will work well if we ever get to see it.

    Man of the Match for me yesterday.

    His range of passing is just simply sublime, and great to see him using his power too in the tackle.

    Needs to refine his shooting more as he gets himself into some great positions with the ball at his feet, but this Bhoy is seriously going to be a top top player.

    His passing is wonderful at times. It is like he is playing three-dimensional chess - he sees passing lanes no one else does.

    Love watching him in person, different player when he’s got a bit of confidence. Crowd got a bit frustrated with him and others when they passed it back but I liked that, if he doesn’t think the pass forward is there then just keep possession and keep it simple.

    He needs to be pushed up and played as a number 10, he would offer much more to the team playing that role.

    He has been fantastic playing along side Brown but he needs to be moved further up the pitch.

    I’m not sure he would be better playing as 10, it’s such a tough position to play when teams sit as deep as they do against us..Ntcham looks better with the play in front of him as does McGregor. Difficult taking the ball with your back to goal and make something happen.

    We shouldn’t play 4-2-3-1 unless we sign a 10 or when Rogic comes back in, would even like to see Roberts tried there. But McGregor and Ntcham aren’t 10s and we should change our shape until we have an actual 10 available for selection.

    There’s a reason MON had so much success with 3-5-2, teams sit deep, packing the defence and usually leave one up top.

    Having two strikers in the box making runs makes such a difference, we don’t have a a natural striking partnership tho..

    I’d like to see this tried..

    I think he's already become a vital player for us tbh.

    His passing would unlock defences and he would get forward he is one of the very few in our side who goes forward with the ball and knows a killer pass. We are crying out for someone like that.

    He has not played there at the club and he should be given a chance to see what he can do cause the tactics are clearly not working at the moment and we don' have much creativity.
