The fun and the dirty Celtic b's
Very good from United both weeks, minus the brain fart couple minutes end of last week
Looks like we've found an xi we can go with for the next few games, barring injuries, they proved it wasn't a one off last week and no sign of a repeat towards the end, showed character
Lots of good performers again today
Looking solid and carrying a threat
Well done JG and the boys
Agreed, outstanding 2nd half.
Fully deserved.
Can't really disagree either for once, if only we hadn't shot ourselves in the foot last week. But thats just happened too many times for it to be a fluke and I still maintain it's the managers job to sort it out. He did that this week and I'll give him credit where it's due but we need to continue to close games out better if he wants my support next season
Well done to everyone today though, f*cking enjoyed that!
its amazing what a difference it makes when you don't do slow starts, don't just sit in to soak up pressure. Instead try and play on the front foot and attack like we thought we were going to do early season. The last 2 games we have created a lot of chances and yesterday the most shots on goal Celtic have faced in the league this season. I really hope JG has learned a lesson that is how you play, less of this cautious, obsessed about how the opposition line up that forgets we have to play football. Hopefully with the 2 promising attack minded players we have already secured for next season will help enable this.
It's also proving many wrong that it is the 3 at the back is the issue, more specifically 3-4-3
However what we can see is what he's been trying to do but it needs a certain personel to work but when it does it's solid both ways, we've limited the opposition and registered 39 shots in the last two games (we were already top 6 for shots and shots on target before these games)
It can work if the 4 across the middle of Luca Vicko Agyei Ferry
It doesn't work if it's Sibbs instead of Agyei, or if it's Vicko RCB and Iovu out the team like the cup
Farrugia is helping it too as one of the two wide attackers
When we play with the physicality, pace and stamina to make it work then it can, even with a lazy looking Watters in there and we have enough quality in there too
I think when we have the personnel and consistency of selection then there are more pros than cons to it
The 3 at back is only for use on some occassions, for some strange reason other managers like mr oneil didnt exploit the room on the wings.
It was much better, but still too brittle. KK is a brainfart and Watters really did nothing bar pulling players out of position.
Its not proving anything of the kind. Its been a couple of good performances and thats all it's been. Plenty of games all season that system has not worked so dont be coming all "I was right and every c*nt else was wrong" based on 2 games. This is why you're so annoying 😣Quote:

Sometimes it would be nice for him to get a hold of the ball and do something, a very capable player. Two big occasions these games though, id like to see us do it consistently against the likes of Killie etc at home. Less high profile games.
