Tactical change ahead for Celtic

178

Kieran Tierney went from being talked about as a future Arsenal captain to sitting on the bench.  There was no apparent drop in form, the change was due to tactical requirements.

Mikel Arteta follows the City Football Group preference for full backs who cut inside, can take the ball under pressure and turn. This hasn’t is natural to Greg Taylor, who started life in central mid.

Kieran is a classic overlapping full back. He likes the ball in front of him, can hit the bye-line and cross. This is also Alistair Johnston’s natural game. Alistair had to relearn the roll when he came to Celtic.

With two overlapping full backs the midfield well take on a completely different shape, while the rule of the wingers will be different.

I also think a striker with a physical presence does better with this plan.  More crosses into the box fits with someone like Adam Idah more than Kyogo, whose sale in January looks more like forward planning.

There’s lots to look out for when Celtic return after the summer.

  1. Evening all.

     

     

    Just read back, oh dear, some people.😟

     

     

    As always, I am looking forward to meeting up with my Celtic chums from both CQN and Sentinel Celts. Always good banter and support, never a cross word spoke.

     

     

    I am particularly looking forward to meeting up with two of the new monikers that I have seen recently, GIRD ‘n CLEEK.

    Trolls, cliques…they all have the same mindset…a lot of them meet up in pubs on a weekly/bi-monthly/monthly basis….they’re an absolute pain…

     

     

    ………………..

     

     

     

    HOW you manage to equate any CQN Bhoys with ” TROLLS” is beyond me ?

     

     

     

    This is NOT the first time that you have ” Trolled” several of the CQN and SC Bhoys who meet up for a few beers every few weeks in a Pub.

     

     

    Where do you suggest that we meet up ?

     

     

     

    It is painfully obvious that YOU STILL have that ” JEALOUS HEID” firmly on, as why would you say that some friends who meet up now and then are ” TROLLS or a CLIQUE” ?

     

     

     

    Your Post reeks of Jealousy and ” Trollism” on your part just because you are a ” Billy NO MATES”.

     

     

    You obviously don’t do Irony do you….CHUMP ?

     

     

     

    What age are You….THREE….with a TWO Year old Brain ?

     

     

    Several others on here KNOW you to be a LIAR, and a TROLL.

     

     

    1)…..who said I was talking about you and your “mates?” I never mentioned any names..

     

    2)…….are you now admitting you and your mates are indeed in a clique?..

     

    3)……your outrage at my post would suggest you are….

     

    4)……notice I used no insults at petty names while answering your post…

    Why don’t you remind the Posters in here about YOUR thoughts on Folk with DEMENTIA ?

     

     

    As I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about why don’t you remind us?…..

  4. You obviously don’t do Irony do you….CHUMP ?

     

     

     

     

    What age are You….THREE….with a TWO Year old Brain ?

     

     

    How ironic….

  5. Several others on here KNOW you to be a LIAR, and a TROLL.

     

     

    What lies were they?….

    I will post all posts from that day. I’m an easy going fella but I will not tolerate a liar and a troll. Unfortunately I have been left no choice.

    Thanks for the heads up….beloow is my apology at the time…

     

     

    My dementia post was to Tom McLaughlin when he had quoted me as posting something that that I hadn’t

     

    I asked him on a couple of occasions to show me the supposed post…he couldn’t

     

    I was man enough to issue the apology but never received any in return for misquoting me..

    And when did I Bar you from the Shipbank?This should be good.

     

     

    You can’t ban me from the shipbank….unless you and your cronies have bought it….

     

     

    Fair to say though that I’m sure I wouldn’t be welcome….

     

     

    And for the record…..the archives on here also keep a record of posts….

     

    In this case I won’t dredge back through to highlight the outrageous slur against me and my family by one of your mates….much worse than I’ve been hounded for…he was royally pissed at the time….and never an apology received….but can’t let that get in the way of clique membership eh……

  9. BIGRAILROADBLUES on 11TH JUNE 2025 7:51 PM

  19. Jackie mac, me, but only because I’m too young. Getting into a vinyl Revival though and I now own it! Saw Brian Wilson at Usher hall a few years ago when he played Pet Sounds in full, great night. 2016 maybe?

  20. Jeezo GB – you saw him – dad and ma had a BEach Boys album, Please Please Me (none after the beatles went weird), Blondie and a Jonny Mathis album in the front room ( I wasn’t allowed in there)! Magical.
