    In games like yesterday you need cool heads and that's what he brings not only that but he has a fair bit of class about him too. Only 22 He'll be the next multi million pound player can only get better.

    I have to admit didn't fancy him at first because he kept giving the ball away, but his performances have grown, he has became more assured, and for me he should on current form be the first name on the team sheet. A beast! Reminiscent of Victor Wanyama, in my opinion, and clearly Ntcham is headed places. We're lucky to have him in our engine room. Think of all he is learning and picking up from Scott Brown as well. Priceless education.

    It was obvious as soon as he played his first game that he was going to be a class above..

    Pure class. Which makes his lack of precision at dead balls all the more incredible because it is *.

    That being said, his team mates aren't much better.

    His corners are a * take definitely. We almost scored from 1 as soon as McGregor took his first..

    McGregor then took another corner straight after that was about ankle height :56:

    Griffs the man..

    Rogic hit 1 beauty yesterday, Griff is the best with a dead ball though.

    He really did bully their midfield and was absolutely key to that win alongside Brown. So composed on the ball under pressure too and with an eye for a goal. It will be interesting to see how he develops and what the players ambitions are going forward. Just don't let him take any more set pieces though at least not for a while.

    Why is he like Wanyama? Scott Brown is more Wanyama than Ntcham.

    It's because he's black, isn't it?

    Pervert!

    We should let Tierney take more corners, I thought his delivery against Aberdeen were super - very consistant also about 5 of them went to near enough the exact same spot right at the front corner of the 6 yard box and they were all whipped in with pace, think Ajer only got on 1 or 2 of them but people should have been getting the head on them.

    I don't like full backs taking corners as you're right out of position. He does take a decent one though..

    Don't like strikers taking them either but needs must..

    True, especially as Tierney is the guy you'd want back incase we get countered and Griffiths is the guy we'd want sniffing about in the box but they're the two best crossers in the team.

    Ntcham hits balls too high, as does Sinclair, McGregor puts no pace in them. Armstrong's get slagged but I don't think they're too bad I think he puts in better ones than those mentioned but inconsistant but it would be good to have a right-footed player who takes good corners last guy who comes to mind is Hartley unless im forgetting anybody.

    Rogic put in the corner for Dembele who forced Foderingham into a save. By far the best delivery at that point...then for some reason McGregor was back on them.

    Yep. Plus he's quite dangerous 30 yard's out if the ball drops to whip them back in from deep or beat his man..

    Don't like Armstrong's. Too floaty but must have a fair few assists for Boyata..

    * knows man..

    I might be getting mixed up thinking of that one then..

    He pinged about 5 or 6, 30yrd passes right onto Forrest's toe in the first half on Sun, when there looked * all else on.

    He totally bossed it and will only get better when he fully realises he's a class above anything in Scotland.
