Whole season been stressful. Dreading the next 5 games. Miracle if we win the title. Celtic are throwing this season away slowly. Terrible performances
@@1888.cfc. Describing us winning the title as a ''miracle'' is perhaps a little over the top & particularly in the context of where we sit at this precise moment in time, but for sure our remaining five League games are going to be ''very interesting'' in light of that overall for me, near totally horrific ''performance'' against the worst Aberdeen side in four decades & certainly there is completely no hiding place for Rodgers or ANY of the most awful crap we signed this season for a grand total of aboot TWENTY THREE MILLION poonds...
Do you know wit that c.n.d symbol actually Is? It's mocking God and his son Jesus Christ our only saviour. That symbol is the cross upside down with snapped arms. It's not a peace symbol you are mocking Jesus Christ.
Indeed Scales is COMPLETELY not good enough & he saved his truly most worst ''performance'' of the season so far for the Cup Semi - Final & even sadder for me was the ''performance'' of the once Invincible CCV, who quite literally didn't have a single, solitary ''bad'' game in the previous two seasons under Ange & here he was letting someone like Miovski get totally in & about him & Scales too of course & the very last thing we need going into these last five League games, is ANY kind of a shaky centre back pairing to go along with our truly dismal wing play that has seen Kyogo starved of ANYTHING like proper service ALL season....
Need a fair few signings in the summer. I think we'll realistically need 2 keepers, centre back, left back, 2 centre mids, a winger and a striker. That's basically a rebuild
Depends on your definition of what ''a fair few signings'' actually are & of course, there is also the small matter not to forget (how could we?) of signing a huge big NINE (excluding Idah) duds this season at a collective cost of a huge big whopping TWENTY THREE MILLION poonds, for goodness sake & even worse, nearly ALL of them on huge big whopping FIVE YEAR deals & so for near certainty they will nearly ALL still be on our books & drawing a wage this summer, so save for a goalkeeper (see what I did there?) & maybe two or three others at most & depending too if we win the League & the £60 million that goes with it, totally NOTHING like ''the rebuild'' you legitimately speak of....
That game was horrific team selection and game management on Saturday from Brendan. Starting Yang and Scales is like two men down. The amount of times CCV and Scales came together going for the same ball was chronic to watch. That’s got to be the worst game I’ve seen from CCV. Midfield was non existent first half. Think Melly’s harsh on Iwata because he was far better than Cal Mac, who’s clearly not ready to be starting. Scales needs to be taken out as well as Yang and Cal Mac because we don’t look as comfortable with him at the moment. Thought Khun looked good though.
At least Disney will get a good score from blackrock...remember we have to force change until its accepted...this shit aint going away because the owners the real owners don't want that...keep up the good work my friend 😎👍
Many sleepless nights ahead .. and i’m not convinced BR should be Celtic manager if we lose the title from here on in. We are to easy way! to score against
Watched again the highlights and Scales shouldn't be in the starting line, he is hopelessly out of position all the time eg challenges the same ball as CCV. We can't afford to play Yang again this season.
Look lads Yang is trying his arse ok! 😂 No in all seriousness the only reason Yang is playing is he’s the fittest winger we have. Obviously that’s the only reason. Anyone who knows football can see that. He’s at the level fitness wise, he’s not gony be the answer in the long term but it’s not the time at this stage of the season to be changing the team.
Just as ''elite'' Brenda has a complete blind spot when it comes to Scales, he's developed a similar blind spot when it comes to starting with Yang & Khun & these two have miserably failed to deliver in the last two big games against the other lot & the sheep worriers & indeed dramatically so & if ''elite'' Brenda persists with this in the six Cup Finals that are left to play for this season, the chances really are it could all go horribly & most costly wrong when it ONLY completely matters MOST....
@@johnwatt72 The winger bar has been set really low for 32 year old Wee Jamesy with the likes of Yang, Khun & Palma, but the fact remains that he is the best winger we have when compared with this other sorry little trio & not forgetting too, that he has done next to NOTHING for us over the last three years or so & for me, I would be starting with him in the six Cup Finals we have left & start with Palma too & yes I know he's ONLY a one trick cut inside dud & Mickey The Mole reject, but he is ''better'' than the woeful & dire Yang & Khun....
I'm left with Ptsd. And btw.. if anyone thinks we'll get thru x5 league games without dropping points they are delusional. Cany stop conceding goals in dying mins. Disaster. But we done it🇮🇪💪
Rodgers played Turnbull ahead of Hatate at the start of the season simply because Hatate's head had completely gone & ONLY wanted away & he still does & then as often happens in such instances, lengthy injuries then start to occur to the player concerned & as completely took place in Hatate's case & as for Nawrocki, he too has proved to be injury prone but certainly overall would seem to a better player when compared to Scales on an individual basis, but sadly neither of them inspires great confidence going into the six Cup Finals left to play for season 2023 - 2024....
Yang has been truly horrific & should NEVER EVER be in the starting eleven for goodness sake & never mind the fact that for me, he & ALL the other nine other duds we've signed this season for a grand total of aboot TWENTY THREE MILLION poonds, should NEVER EVER have been signed in the first instance, but they're here now & us & ''elite'' Brenda are now depending on the likes of Yang, Khun, Palma, Nawrocki to win the League & the £60 million that goes with it on this particular occasion & that's a truly frightening fact....
Results and (performances on the main)have been more consistent/better with Iwata as the 6. The balance is better. Until Calmac is 💯 fit i hope we play Iwata.
Scales at fault for 2 goals possibly even 3 plays everyone onside for the 3rd and the 2nd goal should’ve been more aggressive. The only reason why he plays is because he’s left footed and play out a press easier
Thought it was a wee bit unfair on Iwata who looked very good when he came on. I get Melly's point about staying in position there, but his drifting and 1-2s in the box gave Idah a chance to win it. If he does, we're lauding his run. It's a tough one. I've been defending Yang for ages, cause he has talent, but he needs to go, because he is chaotic in possession. Hoillett is a very good player, the quality of the balls were amazing. Great game overall.
For me, Iwata does have the ''occasional moment'' when he seems to know what he's doing & does it competently too, but sadly these ''occasional moments'' are very few & far between & so then when you have him on the pitch with the likes of the truly awful Yang & Kuhn & an overall shaky defence, we're then ONLY starting to carry a handful of passengers contributing very little, if anything, in a positive sense & not forgetting too the NINE duds we've signed this season are ALL on FIVE YEAR deals, so NONE of them are leaving this summer certainly.
@@masoninho8 I don't know what Kuhn you've been watching but the one I've been watching most certainly has NOT been ANYTHING like ''fantastic'' & again most certainly NOT ''for weeks.''
This pattern of having this windows where we sign bloody amazing talents likes Jota, Abada, Kyogo, Hatate, CCV, Frimpong or in the past guys like Sinclair, Wanyama, Eddie, Dembele, Ledley, Ajer - heck even guys like Christie and Armstrong... but then go on to sell them all and replace them with the worst options that the club can just about justify spending money on is chronic and I can't take it anymore. It is just a constant pattern of behaviour, we'll have one season where the recruitment suddenly looks like we've turned a corner and we finally found a winning method, but we seem to immediately scrap it after that and just go on to downsize in the quality of signings for a good 3 or 4 seasons before fans get so fed up or even worse, the method means we lose a league title (as we still could mathematically do this season) that the board then turn it around and then go full pelt into the market to find great talent again to get fans back on side. Wouldn't be nice, if we just showed some consistency behind the scenes as well as, demanding we see consistency on the pitch?
Are we writing off £8 million of CBS that Rodgers signed off ?? (Rocky & Lager) - surely Rocky I’d better then Scales. Scales peaked early this season, but has seriously faltered of late. Rocky in for me.
Kyogo on the left with Idah up top from now until the end of the season. Yang & Palma can’t be trusted. I’d also put Rocky in for Scales. I’m still not sure if Cal Mac should play when not fit, I’d play Iwata or Bernardo and bring Cal Mac on at 60 mins to see games out. 6 cup finals. We have the players. Brendan just needs to find the right formula for these remaining games. James F to come on at 60 mins to see out games too 👍☘️
Forrest gotta start for last 6 games, crunch time and cant afford to take risks with the liability that is yang. Yang has ability but his poor decision making cant be trusted not to cost us. Centre half wise, stick with scales, best of bad bunch unfortunately. Mckenna on loan at Copenhagen from nottm forest should be looked at, if Copenhagen can afford him so can we
I thought we made it tough for ourselves in this semi-final when we SOLD STARFELDT LAST YEAR SO HE COULD BE CLOSER TO HIS BIRD. Keen-eyed observation I know.
A "90 minute performance" is a subjective term but to me it boils down to playing well in each half OR having the game put to bed early enough that the final 20-30 mins is played in testimonial mode etc... In betting terms it'd be - Celtic Halftime/Fulltime So, How many league games this season have we been winning at HT and then gone on to collect all three points? - 15 Also How many league games have we won both halves? - 8 So less than half of our league games this season have we been winning at HT and then gone on to secure all 3pts. And in less than a quarter of our league games have we won the 1st half AND won the second half. Obviously it is not possible for any team to play well in every minute of every game and "Winning ugly" in some matches is always a part of any title winning season but I would suggest that 8 out of 33 games where we've won both halves, is a very low figure and certainly backs up the perception that we've not put in too many "90 minute performances"
@@20MinuteTims Yeah 8 but that criteria does exclude the 7-1 vs Dundee as it was 6-0 at HT so technically we didn't win both halves in that match. But whatever way you slice it, we've not been good enough in a huge number of games this season. (For comparison - After 33 league games last season we'd won both halves in 14 of those matches)
James and AJ looked really good against Aberdeen but it was scary having Forrest play for almost 60 mins. I remember thinking when he was subbed in at 60 mins that 30 mins might be too much for him and then we get the OT lmao. Yang needs to either go out on a loan or be sold. Right now the only reason he starts imo is because Forrest cannot play an entire game. The only times Yang have been looking good has been when he comes in against tired defenders or when his job was so incredibly simple even he could follow instructions (beat 1 guy, either pass AJ whos running on your inside or cross to Idah/Maeda) like he did vs Motherwell(?)
Why can’t Celtic put more crosses in from the wide positions- every fecking time are wingers look like their going to go to the bye- line or put in a cross, but every time they will cut it back inside and they pass around the 18! INFURIATING!!
Again with you guys ! James Forrest is a must to.play a significant role in the next games. He gets what it takes to play for Celtic, he scored one and made the 3rd, what else is BR expecting? Hail Hail
It would absolutely help the team to put the wingers on the same side as their preferred foot. Kuhn on the left and Yang/Forrest on the right. Our main issue is not keeping our width and not getting crosses in early enough, if at all.
Elliot & Petrov were slaughtered by Celtic support in 1st season. Petrov replaced Burley & "would never be half as good as burley". While Elliott went from worst ever, to best since Caesar, yet only played 2 seasons at Celtic, 1 bad, 1 good.
Miovski is a quality player for me... would be interested to see what someone like him could do at a club like ours. Just because he's been doing in SPFL with Aberdeen consistently for two seasons on the bounce now shouldn't be cause enough to not sign a player - in the same vein we'd all find it insulting that an EPL club would refuse Kyogo.
Soon to be 25 year old Miovski does have some positive attributes, rather than being an out & out overall ''quality player'' & we can debate that all day long, but the fact remains Aberdeen have overpriced him in the market place & we know they have because NOBODY would pay them what they wanted for him in the last January transfer window & that would have been at least £5 million & probably nearer to £7 million, when his actual market value price is £3.5 million absolute max & similarly the soon to be 29 years old zombie Shankland, with the Swinecastle rabble also ridiculously over pricing him in the market place & wanting as close as possible to £5 million for him when he's only worth half of that maximum....
Enjoy the quality and objectivity you guys deliver on this podsite, but the point you made about Celtic playing better in the second half doesn’t hold up, Celtic lost a two lead at Ibrox and eventually scraped 3 - 3 draw. Taylor gets a lot of unwarranted criticism always the fall guy. Worried about Scales? Let’s switch him and Goldson out, are you up for that? To me Alistair Johnson is the shakiest on the back line, a loose cannon! Great going forward, but prone to making errors when put under pressure. Celtic are not fielding a settled formation, too many in and outs. Brendan is not the same coach in this second tenure, cracks are appearing in his decision making.
Great analysis. Yang, Scales not good enough. AJ and Taylor doesn't stop crosses, therefore 1 out 4 in the defence good enough for next season. Joe Hart should have claimed the 2 crosses? however they should have prevented. 6 games to go and yet we are do inconsistent. Hail Hail
Yang rightly got all of the blame for the other lot's equaliser at Ibrokes, but in complete fairness to him, he was left to do the work of a right full back because our right full back Johnston was completely missing in action & I still don't know where he was on that occasion & similarly against Aberdeen & their second goal, when their guy had an eternity to put his far post cross in because again Johnston was nowhere to be seen & nobody had stepped in to cover for his total absence, although he was actually visible for Aberdeen's third goal but standing way off their guy & so he was able to get another completely unchallenged far post cross in to get a carbon copy of their second goal....
Your patter about nawrocki makes no sense at a basic level. Scales plays we concede 3. Nawarocki comes in, clean sheet. Scales back in we concede 3 to a bottom 6 team. Nawrocki has only seen us concede more than 1 goal in one game all season where he has played
Can't win trophies developing players,we need the sleeves rolled up attitude for the run-in,some of them don't have that,gives me the fear watching them
This season has been hard going because of the signings simple as that. With exception of Idah they have offered nuthin. Be happy to fall over the line this season and draw a line under it. Big Summer ahead
Saturday showed that despite all the laughing at rangers recently and the gap we have, we are in no position to be complacent or cocky...far too many passengers in r side...if get over the line ot would be a great achievement but win or lose I'd have 75% out and replaced
