Anthony Ralston

I thought he did very well all things considered.
I think we'll see quite a lot of this lad this season.

 

Did well second half, but was poor positional in first which did kill us.

Good experience for him though.

 

The only players who would get any pass marks from me were Lustig, Tierney and Ralston.

The entire midfield were abysmal - Roberts was like a man short at times, Sinky couldn't get into any sort of rythm, Ntcham was caught far too many times stood static and not helping out, Broon (actually might lay ff Broon at least he was having a go) armstrong was utterly gutless...

 

Apart from KT I don't think any of our defence played particularly well, hence the scoreline.

Other than that I don't disagree with a thing your saying. It's early days but... We'll see.

 

Certainly not the lads fault (though he sure helped Lustig's OG) as the team looked out of sorts and looked second rate in comparison, pedestrian slow and disjointed, BR called tactics wrong tonight.

Ralston getting the crowd going, running to no where, good efforts. ok for pass marks but still do not add up to anywhere near standard for what should be Celtic 1st team.

* all about age either as both Tierney and Forrest looked the part at the age, seriously can not see what anyone sees in this kid that has him as any answer in any time soon for Celtic 1st team.

 

Roberts, Broony and Griff do for me to. Roberts was having a go and was frightening them at times, just nobody around to help. Leigh had no right to win as many balls as he did, his hold up play and work rate was brilliant and he was * unlucky with that free kick.

In the best possible way he looked like he won a competition to play. That was any of us out there tonight. Brilliant

 

Griff had one of the most thankless tasks tonight up front on his own, I have absolutely nothing to have against him tonight.

Broony - dug in and tried his best - but * me, that Veratti/Rabiot/Motta ran absolute rings around our midfield tbh

Roberts - few flashes, but overall poor I thought.

 

I honestly thought he was an absolute star. Was up for it, did brilliantly (especially second half) and was a credit to himself. More than justified his selection, particularly given the task he had.

Loved his passion. Showed up some of the others for it. Best player in second half.

 

Not sure the point is here. Would you have preferred he had scored the OG?? Should he have not burst into the box and taken on 3 players? Should he have not show passion for the club? Who was better? Who was worse? Given who they were playing what formation would have done better? Ralston did his job tonight and grew into the game. What more can be asked? The only other options were Bitton or Ajer at CB - would that have changed the result?

 

I'm on board with this.

18 years old and showed the desired passion that you'd expect from a seasoned professional.

 

Motta * us man, wee sat flat in the middle, he just sat back and ran the show under no pressure at all. Verrati's one of my favourite players right now, natural successor to Xavi I think. Rabiot though, what a * player.

 

Mate, that performance from them tonight was the best I've seen in World Football since the best of Guardiola's Barcelona.

Those midfield 3 were about as good as Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets - * dictated the entire game, ran the show and......I dunno, ran out of words for them.

Sublime.

 

Showed great determination in the 2nd half..

I really like him, it's important he keeps playing him..

 

They've also got an excellent keeper and Dani Alves.. so good..

 

Their whole starting 11 from back to front was just simply outstanding.

A team worth about £700m+, as well as one of the best managers in world football (and all time imo) in Unai Emery.

Honestly wish people would take their minds off of the scoreline for one second and actually THINK about who and what we were up against tonight...

 

I'm proud of him. He's a long term fixture at RB in my eyes.

We need a song for him and KT together.

 

Motta is ridiculous!

 

thought he done well.big night and massive experiance for him.
