Contrasting Christie when he’s moved right

433

That’s five consecutive wins after the post-isolation debacle in January but Aberdeen have never come closer to scoring in their six games without a goal than at Celtic Park last night.  The game was decided by the excellent 30-yard strike from David Turnbull that found the corner of the net and the almost-as-good shot from Aberdeen’s Kamberi that struck the post.

Celtic mastered the opening 30 minutes as Aberdeen were content to sit off, but there was no fluidity to our passing from the moment the visitors pressed.  This run of wins is as much as we can ask of the team right now, but it was far from reassuring.

I don’t think I have seen as big a contrast in a player’s performance when he switches positions than that of Ryan Christie, who looks like a £20m player in the No. 10 role and appears anonymous on the right.  For a whole raft of reasons, it is right to retain David Turnbull in the 10 role, but Ryan needs to do his work in the middle of the field.  When he stops deputising for injured James Forrest he should be cover for Turnbull or Neil needs to find him a deeper role.

    If this Arsenal game doesn’t get better could end up watching the huns second half. Four shots all game dearly me!

  2. Huns score. The twerp high line fails for umpteenth time but keeper smothers and then spills it out to aribo. Spawny but twerps very stupid

  3. That big right sided defender – dyed blonde heid – No 4.

  4. Have sevco played a decent team in Europe other than leverkusen? I’m torn between wanting them to have three more games after this one and getting pumped.

     

     

    Actually I’m not really. Get intae thum antwerp

  5. I get Burnley’s point about Sevco winning and fixture pile-up suiting us……thinking logically.

     

     

    However, I can’t bring myself to do it. Even if Sevco winning somehow helped us in any way, I can never, never bring myself to want them to win a game of football.
