Celtic light years ahead with nearly 70% possession but like the last game in Lanarkshire just the one goal to the good, when overall the outcome should be safe.
If anything Celtic are playing too much football and taking that one extra unnecessary touch especially around the penalty box.
Blackett Boyata and Ambrose an untroubled holy trinity, and Celtic should run out easy winners here, hitting into the Celtic end of Fir Park , with at least two more goals to come.
p.s. Imagine if you can a Celtic player committing a foul like Pearson on Ambrose, with no yellow? * no neither can I*

You can see the Celtic players are aware of tolerance refs show our opponents especially on challenges from behind.
Some great passing coupled with equally poor passing.
Armstrong Rogic Biton and Izzy all playing very well
Geordie Munro on
Doc and Canamalar,
For a third time…
There have been a couple of howlers, especially where cards are concerned but there are some who see every challenge a foul and every foul given against us as wrong.
That doesn’t help our fight Imo.

Reading back as kettle boils
Two successive but slightly different views on pitch.
One says pitch is decent the next says it’s sloppy.
Well it made me smile

As on sided a first half as you will see.
Some lovely one touch football, but my god Motherwell are dross.

Iām not paranoid, Iām right, they are out to get us.
Ha,ha! brilliant!

We’re playing some great football but we’re only 1 up. Doubt the midfield will get as much room in second half. Would like to see Rogic more involved.
Geordie Munro on
Hebcelt,
I know they are not mate.
Opinions. awbdy is entitled to them :)
I’d say he’s somewhere between off the pace and playing OK :))

Would love to see us go 3-5-2 against a team who have 11 men behind the ball.Would take off a defender,get Griffiths on and blitz this mob off the park.We have no need to have 4 defenders here.

Geordie…,
I’ve no seen anyone comment on any of the 50/50 decisions, it’s the blatant impunity on attempts to inflict injury on our players that’s being called out.

Not sure if young Joe is related to Stevie, but think some of his family post on here, I can remember wishing him well when he moved from us
Very Impressive performance- deserved a better return.
With Brown and Biton available, I did not need to be worried about the 2 part of 4:2:3:1 but I am now worried about the 3.
Only Armstrong is playing with any width and has formed a seamless partnership with Izzy. On the other side, Ambrose is isolated when he comes forward and he is not good enough to retain possession without support. Commons and Rogic are competing for the Centre spot of the 3 which both favour; I honestly do not know which one is supposed to be right of the 3.
Thankfully, Motherwell are garbage today but we need to put this away early before we give a window for this ref to influence.
Our back 4 have coped well with Motherwell and Blackett will do until we see Simunovic again.
We need another goal 0-1 is always a dangerous score line as it keeps Motherwell in with a chance of stealing something.H.H.

Playing some lovely football. Just need to tidy up the balls into the box and take a few less touches. 1 goal from 45 minutes of utter dominance is disappointing but I think we’ll add a couple in the second half.
Top of the league from now until the season ends.

Canamalar,
I have. But we’ll probably disagree on what the 50/50’s are

The fouls on Izzy and Efe were both clear yellows.
There is a constant leniency in enforcing the existing laws of the game by officials in our matches.
Referees are a major reason for the lack of skill in Scottish football.

SA just loses out as he goes down left
The pitch looks decent today
Sloppy pitch again today. Must have been heavily watered recently.

Ron67,
What are you watching ?
Geordie, there have been three tackles which should have resulted in bookings, one a penalty, one was probably a straight red.
We should feel lucky we got the fouls though, except the penalty of course, we were never getting that.
I’m not paranoid, I’m right, they are out to get us.
Brown, well wide
Sloppy = Slippy
Snapshot from Brown goes well wide and over
HT
Only 1-0,don’t know how,we’re murdering Murderwell.
Gg,
Lol. :)
I just think there are shocking decisions against us but the constant moaning when every 50/50 doesn’t go our way just makes us look like moaners.
HH
Motherwell not threatening at all. Celtic, with a bit of sharpness and decisiveness up front, would be 3 or 4 up
Good performance – but only one goal. A couple more as they tire will wrap this one up
HT and we have DOMINATED only lead 1-0
Need a couple more goals to reflect our superior play
Tetley time
Geordie Munro not my comments but from two of our esteemed posters,just asking who is right -if either?
Biton so good! The Motherwell number 5 chasing shadows.
1st half plenty of celtic possession not to much end product,
some lovely interplay , one ,two touch football .
motherwell not really in the game , second half, the same would do me .
but lets hope for more goals
Excellent first half, should more goals going on posession and one touch football, just not coming off around the box.
Thoroughly enjoying this game, we look like we could score a barrel load if we can get a bit sharper around the 18 yard box.

I said pitch looks decent.
It’s so unusual to see grass at Fir park
Normally looks like a bog
