    That's what I was about to say.

    Hope he's not being tested for anything soon :84:

    Think he's just getting used to playing further forward than he has previously.. when he and Brownie started playing together he was almost as deep..

    His decision making can be a bit off at times when it comes to shooting as I don't think it comes natural to him when he finds himself in the 10 position.. his passing is so accurate tho.. he has everything and will only get better, he has a touch of arrogance to his game and think we'll see him dominate more next season.

    For a player with such accuracy in his passing his corners are terrible tho..

    That’s was a lovely bit of skill, he’s so good with his feet. Wish he’d get stuck in a bit more though, seems like he’s switched off for half a game then shows a nice wee bit of his magic and disappears for another 10 minutes.

    I still think we'd get more out of him further up the park. On a more consistent basis anyway.

    Aye same, I’d start Armstrong beside Broony next week and put Ntcham further up.

    But then that’s leaving Rogic out who loves a goal against the scum. And who I love as well so * knows what I’d do to be honest :giggle1:

    Aye it's a difficult one. I'd start Rogic but in other games when he isn't around like today, I'd put Ntcham in the 10.

    He’s definitely got the passing and skill for the 10 role.

    Rogic is so good in there as well though, because he’s great at holding 2 and 3 players off because of his big stature then ripping the pish out then with his quick feet. I’m unsure whether Ntcham would be as good, I’d maybe just prefer him in a slightly advanced CM role.

    * knows:giggle1: we’ve got such a talented pool of players and they’re just not showing it just now. Frustrating as *!

    I'd have Rogic over Ntcham in the 10 role any day of the week

    I think most would.

    What I'm saying is Ntcham is wasted slightly in a deeper role IMO.

    Has to start next week.

    Horrible feeling Rodgers will pick Armstrong over him though.

    I would put N'tcham ahead of Rogic on a Monday.
