Lots of the ball lots of corners but no real quality chances created

Floaty out swinging corners

Was there any injury updates in that one or were they too busy talking about the CL and the past rather than whats what for St J?

No idea why you'd compare Yilmaz to Kent yeah. But wasn't sure what thresholds you were looking at in terms of playing time before judging as you seemed to use a very small sample set of minutes to differentiate being able to judge one but not another. As well as only looking at SPFL stats to which i think it would be unfair not to look across all competitions as the bulk of Yilmaz appearances have been in Europe and League cup. IMO its fair to judge a player after 15 minutes(remember that chap Ali Dia for Southampton ) or 15 years, call it as you see it. I'm open to debate is all.

Yeah because other than that Yilmaz hasn't played? Or do we only judge on SPFL games?

Ok thanks, had looked to do it myself but not sure where the best place for (free/unpaid) stats are

Looks good. Can you do one that compares availability v unavailability for each player (unavailability due to injury and suspension).

yeah +1 to keep the joker

I’m in. It’s a bit of extra admin for yourself. Games come thick and fast so maybe doing predictions on a weekly basis for people who don’t post often?

By a distance

Except that wee odd chin beard thing he has going on. Tav has one too. What is it with fullbacks.

More a box to box old fashioned #8. Lundstram can play there but i dont see him as a holding midfielder. That's what we need more of. Davis of 10 years ago. Not going to get hung up on tactics/formations. Lundstram and Davis can both get forward without being AM/#10 types. Tillman can do it(Motherwell away). Lowry can do it(Hearts away end of last season). A agree with your initial point its not just more midfielders we need. its the type. We have the right type in Jack/Davis but they cant do it anymore and need replaced. If we sell Kamara perhaps we need another DM but Sands is probably enough.

Tillman, Lowry, Hagi, Lawrence(I know the latter two are injured but thats temporary). Really? Dont think we need any holding midfielders. Sands can do it. Lundstram can do it. Jack can do it (when fit..). Davis can do it. Kamara can do it (if he can be bothered) If we can clone a right sided Lundstram that would be good. An all rounder. Or a Pedro Mendes type.

Kent > Sakala > Tillman. Best 3 players on the night in that order.

Dont think its a secret he has been after a move for some time. Remember we beat them 1-0 at Ibrox and he did a lap of honour as if it was his last game.

And we were beaten 9-1 on aggregate by the team RM beat by a whisker in the CL final last year. Funny that eh.

Have Celtc ever complained publicly about our TV deals with either Sky/BT/Premier? Cant recall it ever happening. Speaks volumes.

yeah agree. If anything our problem has been moving players on. We could have done with moving on Kamara, Kent, Morelos, Barisic, Roofe in the summer in an ideal world but it is what it is.

Yes just posted in the other thread the same. Our summer business will prove to be successful by and large, i still have faith in Matondo. We just needed more midfielders. Liverpool needed help in midfield, the loaned Arthur from Juve. Napoli loaned Anguissa and N'Domblele to help in midfield. Ajax got Ocampos on loan to cover the departure of Antony to Man U at short notice. Chelsea loaned Zakaria from Juve as they were short in midfield. If loans are good enough for the elite clubs then surely there are some out of favour guys we could take on short term to help us out.

Agree entirely. So long as Celtc sell our TV rights to Sky on the cheap the gap will only grow.

It still wasn't enough. I bemoaned at the time I thought our general transfer business was good, but we needed to bring in at least 1 midfielder(ideally 2). Even a loan would have done. Jack cant stay fit. Davies and Arfield cant play full games or 2 games a week. Kamara should have been sold he has since disengaged since the move to Nice fell through. Agree the scale of injuries are unprecedented and the general outlook on the summer transfers look good. I still believe Matondo will come good in time. There have been flashes from him.
