    Moussa

    His calamity Pass back aside I think people are being a tad harsh on him.

    That was a tough gig yesterday against a robust hearts backline.

    He will be disappointed with Pass back and getting caught offside so much but he did put himself about and never hid (cardinal sin for me).

    He isn't a world beater but probably a similar standard to Haber.

    Thought deacon had a much quieter game than moussa and cuda put himself about a bit more.

    Agree. Think McCann handled his error pass back well. Gave him time to play a bit in the hope that he might do something to redeem himself. Think MCCann has good man management skills. OK everyone near me thought he should have been subbied when he missed his chance at scoring but it is important that a manager looks after his relationship with all players and does not act in a way that might seem petulant or giving a public rebuke to a player.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Really really impressed with McCann.

    Even the death stare at Moussa after the dugout tantrum was just enough.

    His words to the press afterwards that he let him know he wasn't happy but it's now gone was also good.

    I would also say 're the playing out from the back that he will take the heat from a sizeable minority of fans which again is fantastic.

    I wonder if he will play moussa at parkhead. Hard one to call but I think he will play him.

    Got to agree here,we all love a good centre forward and to me some of my favs were not world beaters (sinky,annand,falconer)to name a few.He is constantly offside and that to me is criminal,could be defendable if most were marginal but he is normally a good yard off.If we are hoping to improve as a club we should be targetting better imo.

    Have been puzzled by his continual being offside. It seems to me that he is caught coming back from an offside position and then going to aattack the ball, rather than starting his run too early. Seems such a simple thing to fix.

    Any player that walks when he should run is lazy, end off

    Since the new rules on offside came in very few centres make the effort to stay onside all the time, certainly very few run to make that effort.

    No advantage in it.

    Most are really looking for either that wee darting bending run from off to on or a 2nd phase play when it's an advantage to be in an offside position to gain a yard or so.

    It's frustrating when a player is offside a lot but not as frustrating as never being off.

    Griffiths is a master at strolling back. Not lazy though.
