[Official TC Thread]Celtic V Dundee Utd, 02/11/13, 3pm

Look at that, as soon as we start getting the defenders further up the pitch, we get a goal. Glad we got the point, was a pretty tidy goal. I just wish the bigger guys got up to support more often. No injuries, and everyone will be raring to go for the Ajax game.

 

We're missing Commons creativity big time.

 

yep, but where to find one.

 

Agree with missing Commons, both as a goalscorer and a creator. We can't afford to be missing him.

 

Well in Charlie. Leaves us still unbeaten in the league.

Some worrying signs there right enough. Severe lack of creativity and overdone side to side passing. Also none of our strikers showing real intent to get into goal scoring opportunities.

 

Genuine honest mistake not to send Gomis off.

 

Aw for * sake

 

Agreed, Van Dijik knocked down in the six yard box and we had Pukki and Stokes miles away.

Turgid game not helped by the ref killing the game which suited United. Tough to breakdown a team lined-up across the box.

If it wasn`t Celtic playing, I would have stop watching at half time.

 

Well said.

This is exactly how I feel and have felt for a lot of Celtic games these last two years. The football we play is * awful.

 

How does that song go.....

We're all Celtic supporters, faithful through and through.


Sometimes we play ugly and win or draw. Sometimes we play well and lose. I'm sure if we play * against Ajax for 90min and get a last minute winner, people won't complain.

 

He did say if it wasn't Celtic playing...

 

Van Dijk, Ambrose & Izaguirre played very well.

 

Did I quote him.....

 

More of the same * poor performance today, only this time we're playing a decent team, we deserved to lose.

 

I just don't enjoy watching us in the SPL. The standard of football is * woeful. Its been like this for a while - needs to change. It was the main reason I disliked Strachan and wanted him gone even though he was successful

 

our midf was poor yet again today and out of the new signings vvd is the only 1 whos doing it.back to the drawing board in jan as usual

 

the tempo is all wrong when we play home fixtures domestically we need to be much more up and at the opposition

because we play with 2 defensive midfielders and 2 wingers we need a good support striker or and attacking midfielder and a proper instinctive goal scoring striker which neither stokes or pukki are!!! (i think most of us knew that pukki wasn't a goal scorer when we were initially linked with him but the board wouldn't budge on price and then had to buy someone/anyone it seems as usual!!! a bit of a panic buy me thinks, not that he's a bad player but he wasn't what we were looking for in reality)

we are far to slow and predictable! tom rogic doesnt seem as if he's fancied as deputy to kris commons! so we should look at buying another attacking midfielder

i feel sorry for new players trying to bed in to the club as-well big amido aswell as pukki as the team doesnt seem interested in the domestic scene and well you shouldnt jusge them unless our team are playing at full pelt

frustrating solveable problems that dont seem to be getting solved

 

* game ,pish weather more than happy to take the point .ma bhoys first game so glad we never got beat but roll on Ajax and lets get a poacher in January

 

Kayal needs to play as well, he offers more movement and positivity in midfield than any of our other midfielders.

 

There's just no desire to attack through the center of the pitch. We don't leak a lot of goals playing down the sides, but we don't score a lot that way either.

But it's getting results 90% of the time. Players got rested, players are coming into the team. Nobody got injured and it was a good workout before the Ajax game, where we really need that 5 in midfield that we missed today.

Too many random crosses and not enough shots on goal equals a 1-1 draw, which is a pretty fair reflection as Dundee United defended superbly for most of the game.

Just goes to show there is plenty of competition in the league. The last three games have been difficult encounters. But i'd rather take a draw and have everyone raring to go for Amsterdam, so i think it's an ok result.
