James Forrest’s injury in September happened three days before Jeremie Frimpong’s best performance of the season, in the home win against Hibs. I remember using the MVP acronym for Jeremie at the time. Team form until that point was patchy: wins with alarming defensive performances and an unmitigated disaster against Ferencvaros. The team shape was clearly wrong and pushing Jeremie forward in James absence seemed logical.
It was the first of many changes I wanted to see, each followed by a realisation that we were groping around in the darkness, until Ismaila Soro and David Turnbull became the central points of a midfield diamond. Having (hopefully) fixed the fundamental tactical problem, James return to full training offers Neil Lennon the flexibility he is denied on the right and enhances his option in the middle.
Ryan Christie is well short of his best form in a Celtic shirt but all of those best performances came when he played through the middle. He can cover for James and offer options on the right while giving the manager a different option when he wants to swap out David Turnbull in the 10 position.

Carroll is having a fine game, in defence and attack.
Let’s-he definitely didn’t elbow anyone.The picture shows the boy jumping into him.
A big lump for sure but did nothing wrong in that instance
LETS ALL……….
When was the last time SUPER FRENCH EDDY missed 2 sitters in a game?

Since his scintillating performance against Hamilton reserves he’s no done very much.
But we’re guaranteed at least ??? million this windy when he signs for err,……………..
KT brilliant!!
ive always been a fan of carroll.
but i dont think scottish refereeing would be to his liking
LETS ALL……..
He’s still playing well tonight, in err, England.
Kieran Tierney reminding us what we miss.
Class act.
Needed a year to get up to the pace in the EPL.
Now looks brilliant in good company.
As for Celtic (and others).
Why do clubs routinely sell a single player for large sums and then buy two or more to replace them?
BACK TO BASICS…………….
Agree about KT.
Superb.
But not a fullback.
Wide left in midfield.
We never played him there.
Years ago, somebody said Andy Carroll was like a character out of Viz –
‘Andy Carroll – the big Geordie centre forward’.
Did anyone see the Motherwell game today , if so , how did Gallagher play …anybody .
….Big Packy’s a nugget.
Damien Duff has sparked surprise by leaving his role as first team coach with the Republic of Ireland.

Who has he sparked, err, surprise to……………?
RC
.and it’s auld news, so no surprised.

Eddy is a great player but he has spent most of this season pretending not to be . Other than his lob goal against DU He has been either missing the target or sclaffing it straight at the keeper . It’s only when you watch footage of him from previous seasons that you realise how much he’s gone backwards .
Dot
only joined Ireland in August but has now left his role
GLENDALYSTONSILS
Agree!
But some on here don’t see that and think we will get still get mega millions for him.
Canny see it!
RC
His family never settled……………..

Damien Duff leaves…..
PHILBHOY
If we want mega millions we should make a promo video for Eddy but just don’t put anything from this season in it!
Having said that I’d love him to stay if he could recapture some of his old form .
Doughty off to Stoke by the looks of it .
There was a video shown to Irish team as a motivational tool before the England game.
It featured footage of Easter Rising.
Some Blazers thought it was inappropriate and there was an investigation.
Duff was furious & told the Blazers to eff themselves and wanted to pack it in on the spot.
Kenny persuaded him to stay but his heart was gone from it and he eventually resigned.
The FAI are the greatest shower of Twits that God has created.

Aye, the Eddy of old would be great, but more difficult to hold on to!
“Celtic squad face anxious wait for coronavirus results as squad are tested following Dubai flight”
—
headline from a scottish paper
anxious wait?
why?
its not as if they had been in the covid capital of the world
in fact, they had spent a week away from the covid capital of the world
so will have been safer
shark jumping shite
eddys biggest issue this season isnt his missing of sitters
its that every time he gets the ball he just tries to nutmeg or dribble by every defender in his way with no intention of passing it to a team mate so almost always losing the ball
thats not a good attitude in my opinion
