  1. When we were looking at signing Soro,looking at him on you tube,he was hitting fantastic diagonal balls,left and right.More games,hopefully see his game develop.Moi would have been in my picks,if he had not been a bit too careless at times.He has loads of talent.Ajer,different player on the right.Jullien immense in the air tonight.

     

    Anyway,first time happy in a long time.A wee bit of light .

    This is super funny, Bankie, anyone who can’t spot the Huns on here must be thick as mince😂

  3. Always great to record a victory Celtic.

     

    Saw snatches of the game in between grandchildren duties.

     

    We looked better in midfield.

     

    I’ll be emailing Jobo with my top 3….

     

    Turnbull will be among them.

     

     

     

    Something to Build On CSC

  4. Soro finished on 10 tackles (83% success rate). Lille only made 16 as a team.

     

     

    – Those are amazing stats. Well played wee man. A real DM.

    Soro and Turnbull can’t be dropped Sunday.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Experience tells us they will, for Christie and Brown.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Team sheet on Sunday will tell us a lot. Big call for Neil and a bit of bravery required.

     

    Here’s hoping.

    Would you agree Ajer is stick on right back?

     

     

    PS And I would have Bitton in mid-field.

    Good point, The best thing about it is that there were so many good performances it is difficult to fit everyone deserving in to the lineup. That has to bode well.

     

     

    Nice to have those problems I suppose.

    ………………………..

     

    It’s good to have a selection problem this season brought about by having to decide which player to leave out. I love young Henderson. I think I would go with your selection and play him. I did think Moi played very well too tonight.

    I too noticed JK’s total lack of reaction at the end.

     

     

    SFTB

     

     

    ‘Stoic’? Perhaps, my friend. But as a professional leader, wouldn’t an appropriate reaction be positive to encourage his fellow coaching staff and young team. And why would a Celtic man not be beaming after such a great result and performance?

  8. Lastly, what a lad Weah is.

     

     

    Lots of ex-Celts could learn a lot from such a young man about class.

     

     

    Wonder if Charlie Nicholas saw his interview.

  9. Cosy Corner Bhoy on

    Not read back as just in from Big Telly hoose!

     

    The ‘ fringe ‘ players showed us what we could see in them in their cameo appearances. Why couldn’t the coaching staff see that? The big bucks with the small vision team.

     

    Well done to ALL the players o the pitch tonight

     

    Usual gripe… subs.. Soro, Turnbull, out on their feet but still plugging away FL excels himself and waits till 80 plus mins I despair .

     

    Well done to ALL in the coaching staff

  10. Scullybhoy,

     

     

    At RB we’re running out of options now as I suspect Frimpong will be missing so why not.

     

     

    Bitton however, is a no from me. Too slow in midfield. There’s a role still for Christie beside Turnbull and Soro behind them. Play Callum at No. 10 in front.

  11. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    TOSB – cheers.

     

     

    Just a great feeling winning tonight.

     

     

    Good point made earlier – we beat a proper team.

     

     

    They are no mugs.

     

     

    Will this be a catalyst for a recovery in the league?

     

     

    Who knows.

     

     

    Tonight is worth enjoying though.

     

     

    Hail hail

     

     

    Keep The Faith

    That Lille team were way better than anything in the SPFL including Sevco ,which must give us a possibility of rescuing the league IF Lenny takes the lessons from tonight’s brave lineup..

     

    Only doubts I have are with Ajeti who doesn’t seem mobile enough and big Shane .

     

    For a youngster , Hazard looks more assured and exudes more confidence than Barkas , Soro is like Broony with fresh duracells in and Turnbull brought more to the team tonight than either Christie or Ntcham have recently.

     

    Add Eddy and Griff into the equation and this turnaround Lenny is always on about might have a chance of happening .

  13. THE BLOGGER FORMERLY KNOWN AS GM on 10TH DECEMBER 2020 10:28 PM

     

    OSB – nay, nay and thrice nay.

     

     

     

    Elyoanoissi is a liability.

     

     

     

    Half decent in one game in 3/4.

     

     

     

    Another loaner on jolly, who turns up when he can be bothered.

     

     

    …………………….

     

    He is a frustrating player but he has got lots of talent and I thought he gave a very strong performance tonight. I did say above, though, that I would go with Henderson on Sunday as per Ray-Singh Carr’s selection.

  14. For their first McGregor made a mistake but Laxalt letting the scorer have a free run was unbelievable to watch. And his attempt at playing the guy offside and getting wrong by 3 yards near the end equally bad. Bags of energy but could have cost us two goals. He’s exactly what we don’t need at present. We need solid defenders to steady the ship and give us confidence we can hold a lead. Let the attaching players do the damage.

  15. Next big thing — find the right partner for IS as a 2 in MF.

     

    Keep CMcG away from the role as far as legally possible.

     

     

    Given the squad — ON might be the best bet.

     

    He would not want to be overshadowed by his understudy.

     

     

    Not sure RC is in the zone at the moment and he needs time for reflection.

     

    Main thing is that SB is past it as a starter and CMcG is another who has issues to deal with.

     

     

    DT has to start on Sunday.

     

    EH still needs time to develop.

  16. The defence is still a shambles,again gives away 2 Goals,Good result tonight but not getting carried away ,I ll see what team Lennon plays on Sunday ,it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to play mostly the players that started tonight,Big Duffy still dodgy ,Julien not as good as he thinks he is ,No 1 Priority in January 2 Full Backs and a Centre Half.

  17. Just think on this, JOBO’s POTY table shows Soro with exactly ZERO points. After one abysmal game this season ( I forget which one) and out of sheer frustration, I voted for the only 3 players with no points – Soro, Bayo and Dembele.

     

     

    JOBO ruled it out of order on a mere technicality – none of them had actually played. I think Soro will zoom up the table now.

    It was a great performance and a really good game to watch. I don’t think I’ve felt like this at any time this season.

  20. Dexter P. Bampot on

    Big test for Lennon now. If he drops Turnbull and Soro on Sunday (if they are fit), that surely means all hope is gone.

  21. I need 4 votes for Jobo, I’m down to Turnbull, Laxalt Soro & Ajer and I don’t want to drop any of them.

  22. TO THE BLOG

     

    Sorry for duplicate comment. No idea how that happened. I thought it wasn’t even possible.

  23. Remember when Strachan stumbled upon a midfield partnership of Robson and Hartley and it changed our season?

     

    Remember when Rodgers stumbled upon a midfield partnership of CalMac, Christie and Rogic and it changed our season?

     

    Is that what’s happened tonight? Let’s hope so!

     

    Team for Sunday:

     

    Hazard;

     

     

    Ajmer, Duffy (not great tonight but possibly the start of a turnaround and we got him for games against the likes of Killie’s CF), Julien, Taylor.

     

     

    Henderson; Turnbull; Soro; Laxalt;

     

     

    Eddy (playing a bit deeper to help find some space. If his lackadaisical form continues replace him sharpish with Griffiths (assuming fit));

     

     

    Klimala.

    Wee Timo , delighted to be back at ‘Paradise’. For all the time he was here Celtic really got branded on to his heart .
