    Absolute player. Love the wee guy. Hope this form continues into the full season. Knowing the Japanese work ethic I have no doubt it will.

    I feel like he needs to add a wee bit more in the defensive side of his game, maybe harsh but as much as he presses I feel like he can be all over the place positionally.

    Sound like a right dour faced * after that performance from him today, he was superb going forward

    He’s looking unreal so far, particularly in a more advanced role.

    I think the rest will have done him good. Will wait and see what he’s like when he’s goes out for the second half in a game though as last season he looked shattered any time he did.

    A more attack minded Paul McStay is what I'm seeing, if that makes any sense?

    Going to be immense this season.

    Right now, undroppable. Him CalM and Matt would be my midfield starting three.

    Said similar in the match thread but him, McGregor, O'Riley, Turnbull is some amount of quality ball players in midfield to choose from.

    Reo looking the pick of the bunch just now...

    The Aussies saying he's better than Rogic is certainly high praise..

    Ange pushing him to the end of the season is going to pay massive dividends this year. Going to be some player.

    My thinking was he maybe took a bad knock in training, which would explain why he missed the last game to two, but no idea tbh.

    Definitely didn’t affect the wee man performance wise anyway.

    Yeah kinda how I'm seeing it.

    Ange isn't going to go for the dominating brute of a defensive mid, but he will enjoy a dynamic, partnership in McGregor and Hatate working in tandem to sit back, or go forward with agility and technical skills.

    McGregor, Hatate, O'Reily

    Or

    Ideguchi, mooy, Turnbull.

    Honestly, we've had a lot worse midfield options and won trebles before.

    Great options, though truth to be told it's more likely to be McGregor in for Ideguchi in the second string. Can't see McGregor getting many games off this season. If he does plan on resting McGregor then we still need another 8, in my opinion. I don't think Ideguchi is quite up to it.

    As long as we don’t rest all 3 main midfielders at the same time we should be fine mate.

    McGregor, Turnbull, O’Riley
    McGregor, Hatate, Turnbull
    Mooy, Hatate, O’Riley
    Mooy, Hatate, Turnbull
    McGregor, Mooy, O’Riley
    McGregor, Mooy, Turnbull

    Guchi should be alright as 6th choice, then we’ve got Gav Strachan 7th choice, the Tea Lady 8th choice and then James McCarthy.

    Add in Mooy as well. This is the deepest and most technical set of 8s I can remember us having in my 30 years of watching us.

    Got that part the wrong way round.

    Plus I’ve heard she prefers to be referred to as Theresa Lady in public.

    Aye, it's looking strong. Still would have liked a different profile for the 6 role but hey ho, I've come to terms with it. Looking forward to seeing us do some real damage going forward this year.
