Callum McGregor

You mean apart from the moves that end in goals that have him near the top of our assist chart every year?

 

Again selective memory. Those "moves " you allude too are principally initiated and finished by Stokes. You overlook the alarming flaws in Izzy's game which has been detrimental to Celtic for some years now which I have highlighted.

 

I'm definitely not against bringing in a young player to deputise and eventually take over from him but * sake mate, he's 29 it's hardly over the hill.

 

No, the moves finished by Stokes are the ones that have him on or near the top of our assist chart.

The moves finished by Izzy are the ones that have him near the top of our assist chart every year.

 

You are still choosing to hide Izzy's defensive frailities, his wasteful crosses, and his lack of height at defending the back post. He is a shadow of the player he once was, and we can do a lot better.

 

I don't think he has, he still skins folk for fun just by knocking it by them and beating them for pace.

Lennon set his team up in such a way that Izzy had the freedom to bomb forward at will safe in the knowledge that a LEdley or Mulgrew would slot into his position and cover for him while he is upfield.

He's still allowed to bomb forward these days but has no one covering for him so leaves huge gaps behind him resulting in him looking like a horrible defender when in actual fact that has never been a strong point of his game.

If Ronny wants to use him a left winger then he has to cover his position when he is up there.

 

Can we get back to saying how pish McGregor is...

* place...

 

Said before and I'll say it again, I won't be over critical of McGregor while he is played out of position as a right winger, is he playing well...no he clearly isn't but what exactly do people expect from a young lad who is being asked to perform in a position he clearly isn't suited to ?

 

wouldn't be averse to him actually playing LW in the future and bringing in a LB.

 

He's been harshly criticised in my opinion, he's not a winger and had an excellent start to the season. To judge him purely on the last few months in terms of determining his ability is useless.

 

Tell that to Cafu

Izzys fine.

 

Anyone notice the change in him tonight?

His face was thinner and he is leaner and stronger looking also, massive differance since I last seen him - basically looks the same as what Griffiths did when he came back into the team recently. Clearly been working hard on the training ground.

 

Not a fan of him at all to be honest.

 

Neither am I, always seen him as Commons/Paul McGowan like where he's just too slow/stiff/not that fit. But looking at him tonight I though * he could come good.

 

Don't like him at all, think he's utter guff.

Although he did more tonight than he has in a few months. Beat a player.

 

Looked in better shape and went by a player or two when he came on. He was only on the pitch for 10 minutes or so but he was decent.
