Put it on the Match Thread please, Sam…!

He’s been good for us, he got done twice tonight by a very talented youngster who’s gonna go along way

He had a shocker tonight and for me should have come off half time. Recent form in fairness has been good. He will be dropped for Sat for sure with rolls, chambers and Robertson starting barring any fitness issues

I've been very disappointed with Siopis for a while. He started great alongside Ramsey, but as soon as Ramsey got injured, his form quickly dipped and you can see his limitations.

He's small, gets physically dominated and although he covers a lot of ground, this usually pulls him out of position. His second touch is quite frequently a tackle following a bad first touch, but I always felt he was trying to do too much which hindered him.

Chambers in midfield gives us more solid stability, so I thought Siopis would be fine alongside Chambers, being able to press higher up without the risk of leaving a huge open gap behind him.

Unfortunately, tonight was a disaster for him. He looked completely out of his depth at times, getting skinned and embarrassed by their youngster, allowing him past for their goal. Our performance improved when Siopis got subbed, we suddenly started to pick up the loose balls, win our duals and get far more control of the game. I don't think that was a coincidence.

Just seemed like the wrong game for Sio. Was competing against players with a significant physical advantage over him. Wasn’t able to complete. Got done by two bits of brilliant skill, although first one that led to the goal was too easy. Has been in good form recently.
