Youth/Development Team Thread

Roberts, Christie, Allan should all be in the first team!
McMullan as a striker should also be there before Cole or Kazim-Richards as well.

Embarressing how many good young talent we have, yet we manage to * it up so much.

 

Would be delighted if Christie was in Ronny's plans. What a young player to waste.

 

Would love a 3 of roberts,allan,Christie behind the thumb.

I thought johansen looked a lot better Saturday mind u

 

get him in the team.

 

Roberts bursts inside, collects a return pass and forces Gill into an excellent save with a powerful drive.

 

half time Celtic 4 Pars 0

 

These lads might just give us the lift the place needs..

 

Would rather keep Christie in the middle, but depending how well Roberts is out wide, having Christie on the other side may be ok. Definetely an exciting attacking trio though.
Would also argue to put Johansen in CM next to Bitton. Be a dogged midfielder who can close down, high pressin and can link between the defensive 5 and the attacking 4.
Playing Brown and Bitton in the same team always has us looking very square and resorting to side passing around the half way line.

Never been too sure if he was a RW or a ST to be fair. Who else is in the ranks that could be brought up for that position, surely one worth the time and patience than Cole or Kazim-Richards

 

I think he is. Deila made a point in a recent press conference (maybe after his Christie's first appearance?) to say that he's going to be a part of Celtic for years to come. Something about the way he said it came across as very genuine.

 

Teams back out for the second half.

hopefully another few goals

 

What's that for Roberts in the unders now? 2 games, 3 goals 4 assists?

 

Yep. Well 1 game and a half, hopefully he adds to that tally.

 

4-1

 

I don't think so, mate. For all the talk about youth, I don't think he's a risk taker. He sees something inherently safe (albeit ineffective) in Johansen and Armstrong therefore that's 2 out of 3 attacking positions filled week-in-week-out. I don't fancy Christie or Hendersons Chances of getting a fair crack of the whip despite their talents. Even less so next season with the Zombies up and Ronny is in ever more of a state of panic.

 

Roberts and Christie running things for Celtic tonight

 

What a goal,1st time I've seen this.

 

20 minutes left still 4-1
