MacK1950 2,378 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 HI guys a lot has been said in the other topic on today.I would like to give my view on performances perhaps you will too. McGregor-- picked the ball out of the net and "Scared" Johnston into missing a "sitter", money for nothing? Tavernier--a better afternoon but mix up with Goldson cost us. Goldson- mix up as above and poor headers at attacking corners otherwise sound. Helander--as Goldson but for me continues to disappoint. Barisic--showed his class but some poor crosses. Aribo--some good moments but poor reading of game cost him a couple of chances. Jack-- by far our best player,made absence of Davis his own. Kamara--not positive enough and quite anonymous. Arfield--industrious . Morelos--trying too hard and should have passed on a couple of occasions and not a penalty taker. Kent--mainly anonymous and far short of what he can do. Subs, Defoe --hardly noticed he had come on. Barker--a waste of a jersey and position on bench. Katic--on due to Helander injury and no time to show his credentials. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post T-1000 174 Posted December 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2019 Mack1950, I think you are a bit harsh on Kamara who, along with Arfield, was industrious and part of the reason our midfield outplayed them. Having said that I believe we need someone with a bit more bite and pace than Arfield. Although Kent did not have his best game he was tightly marked by Celtic players which allowed others the space to operate. I agree, however, that it would be beneficial to see Kent do his work nearer the opponent's goal rather than meandering across the pitch 40 or so yards from the goal. Leaving aside the terrific shot from Jack, today's game also showed that we need players, other than Morelos, to be stepping up and scoring goals in the big games. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 It's a wonder we played them off the park with all that mediocrity 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,378 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Yes we played them off the park but think what we could have done without the mediocrity I posted. I posted my personal views player by player hoping I was pointing out weaknesses which if corrected could make us invincible and was pleased by our performance today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weebluedevil 1,239 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We are still depending on Alfredo. When he doesn’t fire we struggle. Pressure was too much for Alfie yesterday. I don’t buy into the claims that we hammered them yesterday since nobody was able to compensate for Alfredo bottling it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure was too much for Alfie yesterday. I don’t buy into the claims that we hammered them yesterday since nobody was able to compensate for Alfredo bottling it. Morelos was on a mission and did very well to manufacture and/or get on the end of so many chances. He´s probably the only striker who has had so many chances in a 90 minutes against Celtic this season. The obvious and big negative was that he didn´t take any. Alfredo is getting the stick but for me it´s Ryan Kent who didn´t do enough wrt adding a touch of quality. Basically we huffed and we puffed but lacked the definition/quality to blow their house down. Got a feeling that Aribo is going to need this season to learn and it won´t be until 20/21 when we see him at his best. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
