    You see what you want to see in a Football game,

     

    If you get you kicks from slagging players, you will remember the misplaced pass, a ghuy being out of position or beaten by a clever flick etc.

     

    A Football match is not a Ballet performance where you sit down & expect a flawless performance,

     

    If our ghuys can be clever & wrongfoot their defense so can the opposition,

     

    Last night was far from perfect, of course it was, we had a team that had neve played a competitive game together before.

     

    In those circumstances I thought we were brilliant, Welsh, Scales, Urhoghide & Shaw all showed they have potential to be first squad regulars, that alone made the night for me.

    Agree on the corner taking, noticed immediately they had great pace and into great areas.

     

    We should continue with him for now.

     

    I may be wrong on the exact numbers but in the previous two games we had 15+ corners and never threatened. Most hit the first defender.

    Ernie – I think the way we play is clearly going to stretch the players to breaking point. The crap pitches, the industrial tackles, the small squad and the silly schedule for December are bringing a perfect storm.

    Spot on fella. The result and performance had many, many positives. Let’s build on those.

    I agree with that my only gripe is that the players you mentioned, who all did well, lack genuine pace. Urhoghide came onto a game he got roasted in the first 25m but I liked his aggression.

     

    Welsh and Scales definitely deserve more time and I would not be worried playing them against the huns.

    How many players are out with hamstring injuries? Is there an issue with fitness/ training/ playing style that’s causing a problem?

     

     

    Read Ange’s comments from last night about it. He gives a good explanation

  10. celtic40me on

    Asked if he would temper the training and playing style to protect his players from injury, he added: “No, it’s not possible. It’s a by-product of the team we want to be and it’s part of the process.

     

     

    “I’ve been through it a number of times with teams I’ve taken over and the initial process is always difficult.

     

     

    “Games are coming thick and fast, but that’s the level we want to be at.

    I thought Bain did well last night in difficult circumstances playing in a makeshift side few of whom are used to playing Angeball football.. He couldn’t really be blamed for either goal (he was unlucky with the second one) made a couple of decent saves and seemed to cope with the sweeper keeper style required of him.

    CELTIC40ME on 10TH DECEMBER 2021 10:55 AM

     

     

    He seems to have a stubborn, reckless streak. It’s good when it’s going well but there’s hardly any margin for error. What sized squads has he been used to having in the past? Has he relied on rotating a large squad to take account of injuries?

  15. celtic40me on

    ERNIE LYNCH on 10TH DECEMBER 2021 11:01 AM

     

     

    No idea. Simple logic suggests that we’d be picking up more muscle injuries if we increase the intensity of the training and playing

     

     

    Players from Chelsea and Tottenham have both said how tiring the new regimes are, the amount of intense running they are expected to do in training and the matches has taken then by surprise. There was a rumour that a few of the Chelsea players were looking to move in January because they couldn’t handle it anymore, but it was probably a joke

     

     

    Its the way the game is going, and Ange obviously isn’t one for half-measures. Revolution not evolution

    If we want to get better as a team / squad / club then we need to do more of the good and less of the bad.

     

    We need to be realistic — no use blowing smoke up young player’s erses if we allow them to stagnate and not push them to improve.

     

     

    AM @ LB has looked good / positive going forward with the ball.

     

    Not a natural LB to me but he has put in a shift and has been competitive.

     

     

    AM @ LW / last night was honking — totally out of his depth.

     

    Fell over at every opportunity and just kept doing the same failing stuff.

     

    Not sure if the pitch was part of his poor performance but he never looked confident.

     

     

    Reality hit him hard and he didn’t respond well.

     

    Hopefully he realises he has much work to do and learns from last night.

     

    This is big boy football not the St N’s glee club / high school musical auditions.

  19. MadMitch on

    SB love — not getting it.

     

    Looked very poor in the first half.

     

    Wouldn’t back himself to catch the ball.

     

     

    I think we should look for better and get him playing full time with someone else.

  20. RC on

    lots of comments on here about players , invaders, stewards slipping/falling over on that pitch , even noticed 1 of the Real Betis players changing his boots during the game.

    chief nat ! I think you are piece of shit ! and a fake wank , hope that clears it up for you ! if you get away with swearing so should we all ! have a good day you piece of excrement

    Great entertaing game last night – everyone around us seemed to fell the same. Smiles all round, even taking Kyogo injury into account.

     

     

    When people say it was a dead rubber, I understand that from perspective of group standing, but the 2 coefficient points won could see us through to CL next year, so could be important in the long run.

     

     

    MOM for me was Welsh – the bhoy’s getting more assured every game. Passing, pace, solid defender, scored – last gasp tackle to prevent a goal was amazing. He’ll be a cracker for years to come if he keeps improving. Big Scales also looks good every time I see him.

     

     

    Kyogo – hopefully not too bad – didn’t look terrible but we’ll get update today. Options up front if he isn’t fit? Probably as last night MJ through middle with Abada and Monty either site, although Abada and MJ could also switch.

     

     

    Rogic and CCV – and possibly Wee Jimmy – back for Sun. Should be enough – if Kyogo is borderline, leave him on bench / out.

    Bain is a below average goalkeeper. Dundee or Ross County is more his level. Not good enough for Celtic,

  26. Fritzsong on

    Failing to understand the criticism of the manager. His style of play is probably the future of the game.

     

    Acceleration is part and parcel of Kyogo’s game. That’s what makes him so exciting and valuable to us. He could have had the exaact same injury last week at Tannadice or, possibly, in the first minute of the LC Final.

     

    What happened last night was bad luck – no-one’s fault.

    If he hadn’t played he’d still be fit.

     

     

    His injury was no one’s fault, but it was foreseeable so having him play was someone’s fault.

  32. corkcelt on

    Wishaw, I would absolutely love to be in attendance the day you say that to An Tearmann’s face.

     

    Mind you it would be extremely difficult for you but you could always try.

    ‘Bain is a below average goalkeeper’

     

     

    ###

     

     

     

    In which case he played well above his abilities last night, in a makeshift side, playing a style few of them are up to speed with and against a to quality side.

     

     

    Celtic aren’t going to have an absolutely top class second choice keeper. Bain is a good compromise for that role.

    Childish, if you don’t mind me saying so.

  35. the_huddle on

    I thought Bain was pretty poor last night, not for goals but general play.

     

     

    His decision making to pick up or kick the ball was off all night, Sutton was pulling his hair out on commentary.

     

     

    Enjoyable game overall, at least it’s fun watching Celtic these days.
