We are seeing the real Weah. He doesn't do enough at either end of the pitch. Kostic beats his man on occasions, he did it today to set up Vlahovic. The other thing going for him is that he doesn't even need to beat his man to find crosses a lot of the time. Ideally I'd like a LWB who could...

:lol: That is a stretch. He didn't do much in he first half but improved in the second. Once again he creates good chances though. He set up Vlahovic who really should have scored with a header and his cross for the second is basically an assist. At the moment only a Cambiaso LWB / McKennie...

I was surprised he started but thought he was fine again. Unspectacular but did his job. Once again even when not having a particularly good game he manages to create at least one good chance (created a when Weah fired well over from 6 yards out by beating his man well outside the box, driving...

He was fine today. Even when not on form he usually finds a way to create a chance (he created a good chance for McKennie) and had a shot cleared off the line. In a team that typically struggles for chances he offers something, particularly when Cambiaso is the only WB impressing. It is up to...

Terrible game. His set pieces are usually reliable and even they were poor.

I thought he started poorly but improved as the first half went on (had a good shot cleared off the line). Second half he was good and was heavily involved in the goal. If we get more bodies in the box his crosses will be more successful. He does a very good job of finding a way to dig out a...

Seemed to get criticism at half time but created 4 good chances, 3 of which really should have been goals (2xKean, 1xVlahovic). In a team that struggles for goals his ability to consistently creates chance is really important. Great to have Cambiaso finding form too. Tactically they are quite...

Good game. There is no need to overcomplicate it with him, work some space and send it wide and he'll put in a cross that the defence will need to deal with. Defended well too. Should be taking corner/free-kick delivery when on the pitch. No idea why Miretti takes them but when Kostic took over...

Because they know they can get him on loan and we will probably contribute to his wages. We have done our usual and made it clear the player isn't wanted late in the window, so we have little bargaining power.

I agree but I think he'd still contribute in a 4-3-3 and get more out of Chiesa.

We struggle to score or create goals. Kostic creates goals. The coach should be finding a solution to get him in the starting lineup. 4-3-3 with Cambiaso inverted, Kostic on the left, Chiesa on the right and Vlahovic in the middle seems like it would be more successful than this muddled 3-5-2...

What a signing. Unlucky not to have a couple of assists too.

Another assist. His crossing is so good at times and really unlucky not to have another one on Soule's goal. I actually thought Zanoli had a good game for them and did a really good job on Kostic. But he still manages to pull out dangerous crosses when it seems like he won't be able to.

Big fan of Kostic. He was quite quiet tonight but still pulled out a brilliant assist.

I really like him. Superb workrate defensively and offensively, always makes himself available, some nice dribbles and always makes himself available. Really unlucky not to have an assist for Vlahovic's disallowed goal. Nice to see him making those back post runs too, he needs to work on his...

Best performance in a few weeks. Perfect cross for the goal, unlucky not to score and put one on a plate for Kean if he made the right run.

I like him but he hasn't turned up since the World Cup.

Was less than 2 years ago. Of course he could have developed, he has really good speed and stamina which is essential for a modern fullback. I just think he would have had to have taken a significant jump in that period to be at the standard we need and for what he'd cost. I'm not getting into...

Frimpong wasn't great when he played in Scotland. Not good defensively and although he had excellent speed/stamina to get in good positions his end product was poor. Unless he has stepped up significantly I'd be wary. There have been a lot of players who look like stars in the Bundesliga and...

A one trick pony whose trick is to run fast, run a lot, be defensively aware, pass the ball well, have a good shot, capable of taking players on and puts crosses in the box. Pretty much exactly what you need for a winger or wing back. He isn't a show pony with tricks but is an effective player...
