Celtic v Dundee United

Christ, this second half display has been farcical.

4 mins added on.

Loovens the wimp down injured when we’re trying to win the fucking game.

That was brutal.

Pass marks for Fox, Maloney, McGinn and Samaras when he came on.

Neutral on N’Guemo, Boruc and Brown.

Caldwell was poor, Crosas was far too quiet. Loovens was appalling, really really appalling, Hinkel did most things right but I’ll take it he was partly to blame for the goal (I didn’t see it again). McDonald was as bad as Loovens. Completely uninvolved and sloppy when he did get it.

Boruc - fine, no chance with the goal.

Hinkel - shit, needs to defend properly.
Caldwell - not good. Again.
Loovens - appalling. Embarrassing at times.
Fox - good display.

McGinn - impressive debut. Quick, direct and put in some good crosses.
Crosas - ineffective. A couple of lovely defence splitting passes but where was he for the rest of the game? Do you want to play midfield for Celtic or fanny around hiding and taking the easy option in the middle of the park? Needs a good kicking.
N’Guemo - nowhere near the level of his early performances. Sloppy in possession.
Maloney - played well in the first half. Faded after the break.

Brown - again, good in the first half but wasn’t a factor in the second half. Possibly the effects of playing twice for Scotland with an injury.

McDonald - scored but didn’t contribute much else. Caught offside when looking along the line a few times. One or maybe two were unluckly and possibly level but needs to cop on, stay onside and put the chances away.

Fuck all pattern to the play in the second half. Hard to decipher what the formation was meant to be. Ended up with Caddis in midfield, I think. Needed to strengthen the squad more in every single sector in the transfer window and didn’t bother. Have a debt free balance sheet though - that’s apparently the main thing. :mad:

Be 500 Mil in debt but win the Champions league. :thumbsup:

Was the Hearts match called off due to a chemical spill?

Apparently so. Kilmarnock team bus was stuck on the motorway for a few hours after the spill/crash.

Just seen the second half of this game, granted it mightn’t have the best representive sample of how celtic play the game but christ it was shite!
Long balls, rubbish first touches …
Like an even worse version of the EPL!

It was fucking shite all right. There was no shape to the team at all. Bring back Massimo Donati.
