Enjoyed the game last night, couple of points for me:

Who is this guy boyata we have signed in Jan?
Great movement last night, when Rogic is back we will move up another level he has great vision.

Liam Henderson has a great tough and range of passing.
Solid shifts from the midfield, bitton looking much more direct and confident the last two games.

My concerns:
When PR goes back to city we will lose a serious quality player, forest has done well this year, but doesn't have the same ability to change a game week in week out. For me this position is a future concern.

If moussa goes, and if we receive s £40 mill bid i think we should take it, then we are seriously light up top.

Craig Gordon was untroubled last night, what he did do he did well, I can't help but panic when he has the bell at his feet under pressure.

Teams who press us high up the park seem to have the most success, but so far the back line have coped well.

Great times to be a tim

Hail hail

Agree that Belgian CB we signed in Jan is getting better every game, i hope its no fluke, very impressed with LH when he came on as well, GMS looked lost, hasn't got that raw pace which makes him vulnerable. I'm not getting worried about what if players depart anymore, as long as BR is in charge im optimistic if any of our players go they will do so for the right fee, and that potential successors will already be targeted and agents contacted, and finally just a big shout out to Scott Brown, he plays host socks off every match, his touch, pass, turn and vision are remarkable, joy to have in our team

We won't receive 40m for dembele and even if we did we would be luck to see 10m invested while the rest goes to the brass at the top like it always does. As far as I'm concerned it will be a lose, lose scenario for us when he leaves.
As for Forrest, I don't buy into this "improvement" tag. He looked good for the first month or 2 of the season and has down nowt for me since. (1 good game in 6 is not good enough and good is as good as you will get with him. never very good. With us missing out on the Nigerian lad and Roberts 99% certain to return south I have serious concerns about that position as well. We should have done more to improve that area when we had the chance in January.
As for Boyata, if he keeps up this form we could save some money on buying another CB in the summer. Looking like the player that had all the potential a few years ago.
We are still short on quite a few positions for me.
We will need a new GK, LB (I fizzy leaves) , probably 2 wingers and someone to rival rogic. If we can keep dembele and Griffiths gets his finger out I don't see the need for another striker.
On another note, I would like to see young ralston and aithcison given some game time between now and end of the season even if it's just for lags 15/ 20mins of games that have already been won.

Agreed but for 1 point if dembele was sold for 40m we would still only spend 10m max in summer so team would be weakened so keep him for at least another year.

His proformances are still hit and miss so it would be good for him and us.

Forrest has been ineffective for weeks - as most of us expected the new improved model was short lived.
He needs to be dropped, but when we play with two wingers our wide options are limited so we will have to wait for a striker to get back fit.
Roberts would be a dream signing, but I think it is a dream as I can't see him leaving City - even though he will not get a start and may well end up like Denayer - out and about.
Dembele has obviously been carrying an injury as his form has been very patchy for a while and I really hope he regains those £40m performances - and we haven't missed the chance to cash-in at top price? Personally I would not have minded that kind of deal for a player we had for only six months and was not a king-pin like Tierney.

Totally agree about forrest been saying it for a while now just has no end product he's scared to take his man on an always cutting inside. Hides behind players an not showing for the ball. Would love roberts to sign but if not we need another player in the mould of sinclair. What a player he is for us and everything down the left is a real threat for us.

Boyata is certainly a more accomplished player than what he was a year ago as is a few others Well done to BR and the back room team

@Belfast Celt £10m investment would go a long way. Don't understand why you think team would be weakened. Obviously it's a matter of time before Dembele does go and he is going to need replacing
