    The decision to play Rogic and O'Riley was a really odd one no doubt.. but O'Riley was far more effective than Rogic.

    Yeah Rogic had a stinker… but who didn’t. I honestly couldn’t give a pass mark to anyone yesterday.

    An O’Riley/Rogic midfield should only be used late in a game when the midfield of the opponent has had the sting taken out of them.

    He is a good SPFL player and certainly cant be criticised for lack of effort but hes clearly not good enough for Europe. If we have ambitions to do anything in Europe Ange needs to address the LB position, any weak link will be badly exposed.

    Didn't have a great game last night but not alone. Our system did not work last night - caught left and right and trying to chase back to defend with often too few players with back to goal. When you see a well drilled team as they were last night, having our left and right backs in the correct position would have helped at least on their 3rd goal. Anyone spot the line and positioning their attacking full backs held when they didn't have the ball?

    We've always known he is a limited footballer, it's up to the manager to address the situation.

    He was mince, he is *, not good enough for us, and never will be. But like others have said, it’s not his fault he is picked and that’s down to the manager.

    Just ask Bodo how much their left back is and their was a few players who could a job for us .
    Taylor only good enough as a back up to play in the spl and not Europe .

    And he was rotten with no left foot.

    Abada made him look good by allowing him to come inside with very little challenge basically every time.

    Taylor will "do a job" for us in the League, as he's shown this season but we really need someone more dynamic in the summer if we want to challenge in Europe.

    Don’t think he was rotten to be fair, done a good job for them.

    Full way they set up made him going on the inside on his right very easy for them, just gave us a lesson all over the pitch and in the dugout as well.

    Aye, we need to go up a level from him. Like him in the squad but he’s the obvious weak link to upgrade on.

    I thought in the very few times we put him under pressure he flapped and played it either out the park or into an area to be won.

    Showing a guy onto their weaker foot is a basic of a good defender - pretty sure big Virg did a video on it recently. Abada is obviously young but that either that should've been pointed out in opponent analysis or if it was, he should have executed the plan.

    The good thing is, we won't come.up against a better coached team this season. They were all well-drilled on their shape in and out of possession, it was impressive.

    Think when Abada was pressing he expected others to be doing it with them, but the others were worried about positions their other players were taking up so * it altogether.

    But aye, see what you’re saying, he was good against us but we let him be.

    He created the best chance today with that cut back.

    But overall he ruins too many of our attacks, no pace or strength. Concedes possession far too cheaply.

    He's like your wee brother or cousin that you bring to 7 side to fill up the numbers. So weak, so slow, looks suspect when someone's running at him.

    Such a non-threatening player

    He offers nothing going forward 90% of the time.

    Tbh as good as juranovic has been both of our full backs could be doing with contributing more in terms of assists.

    Hes just such an average player. Had a good spell there for 2 or 3 games but when you're up against it hes not gonna help you.

    Wee shitebag as well. I think we've most all said it before. Not really much we can do now but wait and see if we buy a LB in the summer.

    I've voiced my opinion on this guy many times. If he's our best left back then we've accepted mediocrity. An honest pro doesn't make you good enough for Celtic. How I miss Izzy never mind Tierney.
