Decent half. Been fairly dominant. A bit stop start, not helped by a fairly ridiculous refereeing performance. Abada put in a couple of good early crosses but havenāt had him involved enough since. Mikey has dribbled well but could probably release it sooner.
Weāre fine in midfield with Bitton coming in but another injury to an attacking type player is a real concern.
Weāve not created much. Kyogo on the periphary of things. Johnston and Rogic look like the only two capable of making it happen, everything has came down our left. Abada is a passenger out there and doesnāt want to know about it.
Iād get Raldo on for Abada and push Juranovic further up.
Kjogo doesnāt look to be 100% to me at least.
Heās so honest, heāll put in a full shift regardless and aggravate an injury.
Iād add kjogo has made loads of forward runs, just not found the ball yet.
All things being equal this level of dominance and possession will eventually lead to chances flowing more freely. Theyāre expending an awful lot of energy tracking and running. But Iāve seen smash and grabs before and donāt want to encourage them in any way with concentration lapses or silly mistakes. Concern is another attack minded player getting injured and lack of options to change things up if we need to chase a goal.
Think that Kyogo accidental clip on Porteous is the first decision thatās gone Celticās way. Some absolutely bizarre interpretations of whatās a yellow card and whatās a foul in the first half.
I wonder on their goal if CCV could have given Starfelt a shout from the initial long ball. We play such an aggressive line and itās hard to get the centre backs dropping under it. CCV being the spare one got in behind on the cover but Starfelt tries to deal with it anyway from being in in the wrong position
