    Ajeti mk2.

    He's another that's got a mountain to climb before I'm even close to being convinced by - our standards have dropped so much.

    His inclusion also affects our game on the pitch adversely.

    Needs to earn a place in the team now I think. Defo not a starter till a big performance from the bench.

    That's how I feel after yesterday..

    Should never be starting before Kyogo unless he's injured. Premature calls that he's a total dud but he's shown Ange that he can't be trusted, yet..

    Kyogo can..

    We don't have the luxury of rotating for important game's still..

    I was actually going to add in my post that the only reason I'm not entirely losing the rag is because he did cost as little.

    It does feel like money wasted either way.

    Yup today was certainly the domino effect of Giakoumakis missing that pen yesterday. Big blow but some perspective needed. As I said yesterday it's anything but fatal.

    We lose so much when Kyogo plays anywhere bar up top even when not directly involved his movement always creates space for others. This guy is the exact opposite of what Kyogo is and it's a million miles from the apparent style the manager wants to implement

    Meh. I think there'll be a lot more heading his way unless he bucks his ideas up.

    That level of personal abuse for a guy just in the door is embarrassing mate, he’s a Celtic player and you’re a Celtic supporter - back him.

    I see he's now getting the Starfelt treatment.
    Had a really bad game yesterday, considering people were raving about his "physical threat" last few games but fans now getting really fickle over him, twitter is a binfire of "sell him in Jan" ,"* ajeti". Pretty embarrassing stuff.

    Well said. Some absolute dickheads on here at times. This thread is a prime example.

    Football fans are passionate, they're notoriously fickle. That's never gonna change, players go from being loved to hated very quickly.
    * has done himself no favours right enough with his antics so far.

    It was a * awful penalty. He absolutely bottled it. I think he will come good though.

    Many overhead kicks has he tried 2 sounds like he's been trying them all the time when you read in here, although trying to do the hardest skill twice when your just in the door have poorly maintained your fitness and have only one goal and hit a * penalty could show a hint of arrogance, all will be forgiven if you get your head down and work hard and start playing well and scoring

    He’s attempted an overhead kick in every game he’s played.

    In each of the attempts, a header or volley would’ve been suffice.

    The same as leathering the ball yesterday would been suffice, instead he went for the fancy Bruno Fernandes nonsense.

    The guy will get dogs abuse if he continues attempting things he’s not capable of doing.

    Yip agreed but he's defo got a point to prove to us all after yesterday. I just thought he was anonymous all game and for someone that's new and not first choice yet.....he needs to be better.

    No one really knows his capabilities tbh , he has a decent rep scoring goals , he won't have come up against negative styles he sees in spl tbh , and that's the difference, a striker scoring north of 20 for us is pretty * good wen u see the way lots of teams set up against us .
    He needs time to find his feet ,he works hard chases down and has had a problematic start here , give him a break , guy was brave enough to step up for the pen , and I would rather have players who have that , but again it's way to early to Wright him or other new players off , get behind players who struggle ,lift them to be as good as they can be .

    Boy's just in the door and written off by some already. Some of the comments are embarrassing. He's appeared 4 times * sake, scoring once. Saw comments yesterday along the lines of calling him arrogant, and a selfish * or something. Weird chat from supposed fans. Hopefully comes on more as he settles.

    Worrying tbh. Should be slotting that if he's as confident as he appears.

    Why he's even taking that when Juranovic has scored his last 2 and looks ice cool ill never know.

    Infuriating. Was never confident of him scoring.
