    You making up words now? :97:

    The high-line we play makes us susceptible to quick breaks, to say nothing of the incredibly intricate play we saw against Barca.

    Serious question, without sarcasm.

    i think most of us regard our defenders as our best players. Toure. Erik, Jozo, Tierney, a polivalent Lustig, a decent emergency sub on O'Connell.

    Then why we concede so many goals? We had no clean sheet in the league so far and 10 goals conceded on two games at UCL. I am not disputing Toure and our other defenders are great players. But what is wrong that we concede so much?

    My first language is a latin one dude. This is not the place for lingustic pedantism but your explanation is quite good regardless

    OFLooked as calm and assured as I've seen a Celtic defender in years.

    Proved yet again how good a signing he was. Absolutely immense tonight.

    That headed clearance in the last minute was incredible.

    The ultimate professional, still has the desire to win and such hunger as well as being a top class defender. We're so lucky to have him.

    What a performance, what a signing, what a centre half.

    He was outstanding. Seriously outstanding.

    His experience at the back is vital for us at this level. Last minute of the match, cross whipped into our box, two Man City players running on to it, one of them guaranteed to put it in the net and break our hearts. Who's there to head it clear? Kolo.

    Made such a difference tonight with his experience. Even at his age was quick enough and timed challenges to perfection. Great asset this year

    Me anaw but if he was a bit younger we'd likely not have been able to get him. Such is life.
