  1. mullet and co 2 on

    Leigh Griffiths for me. We might get 18 million for Dembele. He might go on to be as good as Drogba but we would have Griff sniffing out goals.

     

     

    Who would you sign to improve this team?

     

     

    Imagine a Nakamura or a Lubo signing now? Personally I’d go for a 3rd midfielder to compliment Armstrong and Brown.

     

     

    A right back? A goalie in the summer.

  2. Tonight was the first of some ‘easier’ domestic opponents after an intensive few months of critical games.

     

    A few changes – maybe a touch 2nd gear first half but job done. Armstrong on a rich vein of form at the moment – Griff a tad rusty but the goal scoring instinct is ever there.

     

    Craig maybe lucky (light brush of PT player) not to be carded but equally would’ve been harsh given the PT player made a meal of it when going down (didn’t deserve a yellow).

     

    Think the MIB was ‘on the spot’ after Besiktas – was frightened of making an arse of it and took the easy option.

     

    Expect BR to make use of upcoming home games to examine some of the fringe squad pre-January window.

     

    Looking good. Onwards & upwards!

  3. I think Griff is an excellent player in SPL.

     

    In Europe he is a little slow in thought against better defenders.

     

    He can make this adjustment as Rogic has done.

     

    Dembele is better at this and holds the ball up well.

     

    They both are excellent and since one striker is not enough why would we even contemplate selling either?

  4. Griffiths for me. Better finisher and more of a team player. I look at reactions when other players score, Moussa seems disinterested where as Griffiths loves each and every goal.

  5. What is the Stars on

    Seems to be a bit of a Leigh Griffiths love in her tonight

  6. SFTB/Big Jimmy,

  7. 2 gemes less than 72 hours apart…..a creditable performance, crap result, against the Mancs 2nd string with 200+ caps n a great 2nd half performance vs Partick…..job done ;-))

    Lurkintim

     

     

    Nothing against Griff per se ( except my bet went down cos he didnt get a second goal)

     

    If I picked the team I would play the 2 of them

     

     

    But if at gunpoint I had to make a choice I would answer ….shoot me …no too much of a coward…I would answer Moo Sa…Moo Sa Dem Bell Ay Moo Sa Dem Bell Ay

    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

     

     

    I Love you to bits… My opinion is that Leighser is not anywhere near Moussa as a Striker @ the Highest levels.

     

     

     

    Just my opinion.

  13. Gamboa…..not for me….not Celtic class….A Ralston….not sure if ready for the step up….SPL ready mibbe….give him a chance to bed in and see if he enhances….CL chances nxt year ;-))

  14. Despite struggling in the strong wind Celtic coasted to a victory by 4 goals to 1.

     

     

    Armstrong again was a stand out but McGregor, Izzy and Griffiths all deserve praise for their performances.

     

     

    This Celtic just keep marching on.

  15. WITS,

     

     

    wit aboot Mousa n Griff both playin….interchangin the RW position….cause we both know….PR is mr anonymous for the majority of most gemes….

    I like Roberts he has a bit of Je Ne Sais Quoi about him

     

     

    ……………………………………………………………

     

     

    I asked MM to put a figure on that young Mans heid…. Wisely he said f all.

     

     

    I’m hoping he is fully committed to CELTIC soon.

  18. WITS,

     

     

    Roberts is a master of finding a cul-de-sac….was watching the game earlier…. n wishin we had a dribbler that could pass a player n open up space…..Roberts aint him IMHO…..

  19. What is the Stars on

    Lurkin Tim

     

     

     

    Dribblers often dribble into dead ends

     

    He is smashing player,we are blessed to have him,Keep taking them on,lose the ball,get up and try it again

  20. Brendan speaks about the game like no other well not since Stein

     

     

    From the BBC

     

     

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: “I don’t think Partick Thistle have conceded more than two goals in a game this season. On the back of Tuesday night [away to Manchester City] with only two days recovery, to come here and play to that level was exceptional really.

     

     

    “You give Partick credit tonight, they made it really difficult, but the mentally in the team is very strong. I can see the development, the relationship between training and the game, they are taking on board the concepts of our build-up play and consolidating the game and then we’ve obviously got goals in the team.

     

     

    “We’re staying very composed and calm under pressure and that’s a really good sign.”

  22. WITS,

     

     

    thats the problem….we as a support can’t accept a dribbler that is only successful some of the time…..I blame player stats….ffs it seems that SB is the best passin middy in Europe…..

  23. TLT

     

     

    The type of player that Roberts is means that he’s always likely to infuriate the support.

     

     

    We’ve seen dozens of them at Celtic in our lifetimes. I’ve spoken to many older Celtic supporters who talk of Jinky’s off days. Provan, McGeadie et al could win a game on their own but could also play 90 minutes without meaningful contribution.

     

     

    Tonight Paddy was predictable and frustrating.

     

     

    Then I think of his goal against a top team on Tuesday night and I smile.

  24. WC,

     

     

    Aye, it seems as if our best player…..for years to come…..is underappreciated….;-))

    I used to listen to MON and be in awe of his media management.

     

     

    I listened to WGS and was in awe of his game intelligence.

     

     

    Now I listen to Brendan Rodgers and I’m in awe of both of these aspects.

  26. Armstrong was immense tonight. McGregors cameo was fantastic also. Nice to see the griff get his gallusness back after he scored.

     

     

    Not a ticket to be had tonight. Loads looking as well.
