HT
Kyogo over bar
Thinking off the Maeda offside flag- shouldn’t the Lino only raise the flag if he is sure it’s definitely offside – as it can be reviewed by VAR if it leads to a goal?
3 v 1 and we are so sloppy ….the poorest we’ve been for a long time …probably the surface is having an affect …
HT 3-1. Tetley time.
Good first half performance on the Perth coo field
3 v 1 and we are so sloppy ….the poorest we’ve been for a long time …probably the surface is having an affect…Reo Hatate not at the races….
I agree- our football build up has not been great but we still got 3 very good goals with pleasing moves
Good stuff.
Barely broken sweat and have scored three goals in a half.
What does that say about Ange’s machine?
Downsides?
– Going underfoot is soft.
– Ref is bad (normal)
– Weak goal conceded
Time for tea
Can see Ange kicking a few arses at HT,pitch is poor,but we have been slack.
The refereeing is shameless. Constantly breaking up our okay, awarding non-fouls, penalising CCV on the edge our box whilst in possession and even booking Jota for persistent fouling! All whilst St J have apparently only committed 2 fouls as a team… whilst losing 3-1! And still they can’t stop us.
3 good goals and 1 very poor performance.
Maybe it’s the pitch, but some of our players look slow and half asleep.
Hatate has been dreadful and Jota not much better.
Hopefully a 4th early in the second half and back down the road.
Happy to be 3 goals to the good. The pitch is the same for both teams.
On today’s showing, Johnston isnt markedly better than Raldo.
Our mids not much better than the St Johnstone player Daniel Phillips, who has real presence in that mid area.
I remember saying Aaron was a bit one-paced; who needs pace with a tough like his ??
We just look a bit ‘aff it’, so far.
Half-time Celtic have had 69% possession yet have conceded 9 free-kicks for fouls to St Johnstone’s 2.
In view of recent posts on this apparent anomaly I paid particular attention to each free-kick conceded by Celtic.
At least 7 of those free-kicks were conceded due to St Johnstone players throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest contact from Celtic players.
This is clearly a deliberate tactic when teams face Celtic.

Whats the eilidh thing?

Touch, not tough ffs
Away in Perth against a team giving it a real go on a poor pitch that’s making everyone double think everything
We’ll make fewer but better chances in a game like this, for all our passing hasn’t been great we always look like scoring.
The technical ability of Mooy, Kyogo and Calmac is shining through. The defences are doing very well with the one lapse
A booking for persistent fouling against Jota shows a now very familiar tactic bearing fruit.
3 goals in a tough away pitch to a tough opponent and still we are poor somehow.
Pitch and ref to overcome.

Jota needs to be very careful…this MIB will not need an excuse…he his blowing for fouls to them at every time they go down….
Jota will get a rest and the ref will have his wee plan spoiled.
KLV
Are we adopting a deliberate save energy strategy.
We have not broken sweat, yet we lead 1-3. Ange is a thinker and thinks ahead for more testing times
Just can’t get enough. HH.
Bring Abada on for Jota ,this ref is looking for an excuse to send him off.HH

Spot on.

are half times getting longer and longer ?

Out for a gk
Corner SJ
Good score at HT.
A few good chances created; 3 taken; clinical finishes.
Apart from that (sounds greedy now) but we’ve not played great. The space we are allowing them in our half has led to too many opponents having time to pick out a cross into our box. Only a matter of time before it leads to Hart getting tested, if that continues.
Hatate’s touch and passing is woeful so far. Jota doing very little, apart from that one moment of genius when he laid on for Mooy. That’s what he’s there for, I suppose. Without Jota, we don’t create that 3rd goal. Yet it’s frustrating watching our play slow down or end when he receives the ball.
I’d give Reo and Jota 15 mins max, then sub them. Keep them fresh for the next game. Give others a run out. Maybe Haksabanovic and Iwata.
HH
jota will get sent off when he celbrates his goal
Celtic break quickly but comes to nothing
Swift move from us down left.
Celtic spell of possession
Hatate not having the best of days
SJ break. Calum shadows and stops
1 more goal should sort out St J and the referee
Pitch is poor
Looked like a stamp on jota , not even a foul given
Ps – can’t jump on the bandwagon re the ref. Thought he had a solid 1st half, imo.
Rather than criticising the ref for giving 9 fouls against us, why not single out each and every foul, then tell us why it shouldn’t be given.
I saw Jota concede numerous clumsy fouls. All within a short timeframe. So no issue with him getting carded for it. I’d hook him as a precaution. He can’t tackle a fish supper, especially on that surface. So he’s likely to concede more.
