Being able to carry the ball forward at a decent pace once he gets moving is good....but for defenders speed over the first few yards from a standing start can be more important. |

Played well yesterday, brought the ball out from the back more than a few times to good effect. As a converted midfielder, certainly a better option than Bitton on yesterday's showing, but whether he can do it consistently remains to be seen. Slightly cautious optimism just now, whether BR reverts to Boyata and Simunovic for the Glasgow derby or sticks with Ajer we shall see. |

Think Boyata and Simunovic have blown it as a partnership, BR put plenty of trust in them and this season its just not happened Perhaps both have their minds on pastures new. Edited by marcat, 24 Dec 2017, 11:33 AM.

Thought he played very well yesterday and it was a toss up between him, Brown and Armstrong for motm. Really hope he gets the gig for the foreseeable as he deserves it. Also thought he handled Rooney very well which wouldn't have been easy. |

Lot of promise can still be guilty of ball watching at times also needs to work on his headed clearances to find a Celtic player, shades of McManus heading it back where it came from. Coming along well though showing good confidence in bringing the ball out of defence |

That's it exactly I think. Like Bobo, for example, once he gets going he's powerful but it takes him a while to get up to that speed. Intelligent players can cover a couple of yards by positioning and reading the game well, so I'm not too bothered about a lack of pace in my defenders, especially in Scotland where a simple ploy creates 30 yards for him to move into. I'd much rather they were quick of thought and are able spot the right pass out of defence a couple of passes in advance so we can play out better in Europe, when 3 rapid, intelligent forwards are closing us down. |

Very assured on Saturday, I think playing alongside an experienced central defender (not Boyata) will be great for him. Need to get him on a Kolo Toure power programme to fill him out a bit in the summer |

You serious? Boy is built like a brick shampoohouse. If anything, I'd say rein it in to keep his mobility good. Still young and filling out. |

Not really for me. When he's in full stride he reminds me a bit of Wieghorst on the ball |

Only 1 mistake the whole game, and even that didn't cause any problem. Should be a definite starter against Sevco |

Love the way he actually has his head up and is looking for a pass when bringing it out of defence. Still not sold on his dependability as a CB howevet |

Deserves to stay in the team. Calm and confident. Will get better and better in that position, simply by playing more games. |
