"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”
Very good debut, saw everything I expected, it will take time and appearances with the best 11 for all the players to know where and when he wants the ball, he does need to run like he did when he played against us twice though, he was a lot quicker in those 2 games than we saw today

He looked a little shocked at the work rate exspected of him. I was surprised he played up the middle and fluffed a good headed chance in the first half.
6.5/10.
He had quite a lot of touches, it was frustrating watching at times, not because of him, but because if any of our lads had bothered to watch some footage of him playing for Salzburg they might have had a bit more appreciation of where he likes the ball and when, he got in great positions loads of times, the ball was on and they didn't give it him, that'll come with more games and training together though. He gets in pockets and between lines and channels, he's very good at turning in the same motion as receiving the ball and likes it drilled into his feet or through the channel when he's in those positions, got in them loads today and nobody passed it to him even though he was mostly wide open in great positions to turn and look to play Origi or Elliott in

Not an easy game to get involved in for your first game. was a bit helter skelter. He will be more efficient when we can control the game better.
Cleaning up the Scots since the 13th century
Hasn’t played in a competitive match since the second leg v us in Salzburg... First game at a new club in a new league - playing in an 11 made up mostly of kids AND of all games - it’s Merseyside Derby.....!
I think he did just fine- that’s as tough a debut as you could ever expect.
A solid performance.
