    He was sloppy with the passing at times but it wasn't as if he was the only player who struggled at times with the ball. So to use that as an example of saying he was "poor" is harsh.

    I thought he, along with Brown and Bitton were very good. When these 3 get on top of the opposition(like last season), we don't give them a chance. All 3 have a great work-rate, composure and use the ball well.

    Needs to up his game or be dropped for Armstrong.

    Aye his stats are good but we all know he can perform alot better than he has been, it was the same at the beginning of last season.

    He was getting slated in here and a good few wanted him dropped permanently. It was crazy.

    It's like I said last night, he has the knack of being a bit sloppy or below par but still popping up at crucial moments. Sign of a good player.

    If he could improve his finishing he'd grab alot more goals as well.

    What you WILL notice is that even when Stefan isn't having the greatest of games (sometimes his passing does my * in), he never shirks, or hides, or lets his head go down.

    Heart of a lion has this guy.

    Bang on. Strongest character in the side after Broony.

    Aye I mentioned that as well last night, he doesn't go hiding and that is one thing you can always guarantee. Much like Brown in that respect.

    I did think last night he was a wee bit lucky to get away with a few challenges, might need to watch himself. Other refs on the continent won't have it and it could cost us.

    That's something that has quietly crept into his game, obviously spending too much time with Broon.

    I quite liked that side of Johansen, he's always had that dig but with a bit of spite now. It's the easy passes that go astray, as has been mentioned, that can be annoying..

    I like it too but sometimes I think he goes over the top, will need to watch it. Like that wee head movement he made towards the guy off the ball, sly kicks etc.

    Just makes me * myself a bit because we all know what foreign refs are like, especially away from home.

    Especially him last night. The one bit where he annoyed me was when he went to argue with the ref when it was the water break, he was already on a booking. He is on the line but I like having more than broony to wind up and scare the opposition, which I think he does..

    I musta went for a * and missed the header, anyone got it?

    his goal and assist record this season has started well, and his work rate off the ball is never in doubt, but * me his use of the ball and decision making so far this season has been poor, maybe we expect so much after last year.

    He doesn't have the defensive discipline to play in a holding 2. He looked better when he went out right. But aye it's been a weird start to the season for him, good on paper.

    He's started the season the exact same as he did last season when folk were giving him pelters.

    Not worried. He will improve, still creating chances.

    As i have said many times on here , one of the most over rated players in recent memory. He has consistently sloppy performances and people always come up with excuses for him .

    Why do you feel the need to keep saying it then?

    Was poor tonight, but still a vital player for us if played in the right position.
