Ki

That was the 2nd goal on the opening day at Easter Road.

You can't congratulate a player on taking a penalty, come on. I didn't say he was gash at corners, (though we don't exactly score a bundle from them) I said he was gash at freekicks.

 

He also missed a penalty im sure. And he is pish at corners. Apart from that its not the corner taker who should be applauded its the man who fights off the opposition to get the position to win the ball. Taking vorners is about either aiming for a certain spot or drilling it in without it going out for a shy. I think kis corners are poor. Commons are well better

 

Was definitely Celtic Park, I was sitting in my mates seat that day and not my own and he was slating him and I said watch him score and he opened the scoring

Cannot for the life of me remember who it was against though, I'll get back to that one.

Lots of people have slated his corners on this thread.

I can commend him for scoring a penalty, take a guess how many we had scored in our last 10 before that penalty?

 

Ah right, I get this game.

When it's Commons its a good ball when it's Ki it was good fighting to get on the end of a shoddy ball? When he scores it's not an important one anyway and his assists don't counts.

Also penalties don't count.

Got yees

Spot on

 

You must be thinking of the 3rd goal against Dundee Utd then mate?

Aye, we went on a freakish run of missing them, but he was expected to score and it's not exactly the hardest thing to score a pen. It's not a reason to keep him.

I just don't see what others do in him, he's just a player who keeps things simple in a tidy manner but hides when the going gets tough. I won't be bothered in the slightest if we sell him in the Summer.

 

Im saying commons more often puts in a good ball than ki. Your using one ball that ki put in as evidence he is good at corners. Which he just isnt. Ure sayin he scored a penalty when others have too as if its a point ? He also missed a penalty so looks like he wasnt upto the task like the others who missed by the way ure judging. Every goal is important as are assists but people using examples of ki doing them rarely as evidence of him being a good player just doesnt cut it for me. Hes not a good player to have in our team. We have alot better and its not even close for me.

 

I commend him for stepping up to the mark and scoring it in a massive game against a world class goalkeeper when no other players had the balls to.

It's not an easy thing for our team to do, which is why Broony takes them. Cos he has balls of steel.

I can agree about the deficencies in his game but to shrug off the things he does achieve and what he does do well for Celtic is just disrespectful.

I would sell him if we got a sufficient bid in but I'd rather a Ki Sung Yeung than a Willo Flood or Derek Riordin or Evander Sno sitting on the bench waiting in the wings to help us.

 

How do you know no other player had the balls to? As GG_NE mentioned he missed his next one against Dunfermline which is why he was removed of the duty. When it came to the crunch against Hearts he missed a header from 5 yards out, twice - that's just criminal. The defensive side of his game is non-existant too, and he just doesn't offer enough going forward.

He's fine for our bench, I agree. I'd never start him though.

 

In all fairness, Broony only takes the penalties now because every other * was missing them.

Commons, Stokes, Hooper were all the allocated spot-kick takers. Ki was told to take them because the rest were missing. He ended up missing a couple, and now Broony is da man.

 

The broon-miester is doin good as well ! Never looks nervous at all.

 

Yup because for some reason the rest of our players seem to have a lack of balls some times. Broony's just confidence personified. Think that counts the most in penalties.

Ki allocated himself, Neil said it. That was just one penalty though we seem to have been hung up on that point. All I'm saying is people go kver the top to dismiss the good parts to his gane on here.

He needs to develop further, however he osn't as bad as people make out on here. You would think he was Du * Wei.

 

I should have thought he would have recommended himself - was it not he who claimed set-pieces where his speciality?

He needs to develop yes, especially if his hype is going to come true. Of course he has good points in his game - but myself, and many more notice that his weak points are a liability in the team.

You never think that he gets so much more stick because he is over-hyped to * by some on here?

The way some people go on about him, you'd think he was pe * le! :bbpd::icon_mrgreen:

 

I honestly don't people mention the good things he does and then it gets dismissed. Case in point his corner for Mulgrews first against Kilmarnock in the League Winning game.

It gets dismissed when he does do good things to the point that he's made out to be the worst in the squad. He has his strong points, when he was on his game earlier on in the season he was getting plaudits that he deserved.

Now he's went off form a bit, he has the potential, he has the ability, he just now needs to find the consistancy.

Oh and he has never claimed to be a set piece specialist but he is quite good at them.

 

Or quite the contrary padmill, how can a player in the team perform to the best of his ability without
a) a more consistent run in the team
b) more support from fans

Its indicative of the nature of some fans, fickle. Support the players in your team, thats what i do.

 

I can see the point your trying to get across. But ki does something good once an it seems like everyone thinks Thats an attribute of his that he does regularly when its not the case. Then people say he bosses the midfield.. Has tidy passing .. Tidy as it may be its * useless. Contributes very little if nothing defense wise.

 

He can boss the midfield, he hasn't done it enough though. Hence the reason he's been shinted out wide on occasion to keep his passing and possesion game on the pitch but in a less defensively minded position.

I don't think he is particularly suited to our current style of play and that's a shame because he will be a big player in the future. I believe it will be after we have sold him though.

Still though for somebody who is completely bollocks, can't pass and ca't do anything regarding football in particular he has been astonishingly licky to score 8 goals and set up 6 was it?

Very lucky indeed.

Or were these some lf the goals/assists that don't count?

 

Spot on.

Also.. pe * le

 

Ah, but that depends on matter of opinion, if you get my meaning - what you or others may deem "good", I for instance may deem as nothing other than something that could have been better.

I'll gladly clap Ki when he performs and does something successfully - and enjoy seeing a Celtic player do well.

And I will also offer up criticism where I believe it is deserved.

I don't think I have seen anything to suggest that he is consistently good with set pieces.

 

Thats the major problem i have in this thread, the responses are not at all balanced, you for example Devlin acknowledge both his positives and negatives, but all i see from others are constant negatives and do all they can to belittle the positives.
