    Honestly it’s the lack of decision for me more than anything, go for the ball or track the spare man. He done neither, last night for me though he was left himself to deal with 2 players a lot. Palma was trying his heart out to help, but he was rarely actually doing it. A lot of work, rather than clever work.

    That’s ok for him that’ll come with time, or it needs to anyway

    Aye he does neither. The main danger is the man with the ball, and when Bernardo gets a toe in, Taylor must surely know that’s his ball then to go for. He actually starts to go for it and then backs off.

    Canny believe folk are actually questioning how Scales or CCV didn’t cut out the cross. Anybody who knows football should understand that cross is just too good. Both are holding a decent line and the ball gets whipped with pace in behind them. I honestly cannot comprehend how anybody can possibly think either should be cutting that out. As I said, CCV losing Morata could perhaps be criticised, but it goes back to Taylor allowing Llorente time to pick out the cross.

    It's quite an achievement for someone as * awful he is but today may actually be his worst performance yet.

    * useless wee *

    He's the opposite of everything a celtic full back should be.

    He's not even playing as an inverted full back he just goes in there to hide. * would do anything to avoid having to take someone on or go forward

    Watching him is a monotonous exercise these days. Sideways and backwards passing for the majority. No pace, can't cross, can't dribble.

    The occasional link up play or ball over the top shouldn't justify his constant inclusion. But here we are.

    Everyone knows we still haven't made any decent attempt to replace KT and that is shocking. The money we have wasted on projects would have been enough to buy a half decent LB

    His form has fell off a cliff since the Athletico game. Last 3 games he's been atrocious, before that it looked like he'd turned a corner.

    Need a LB to challenge/replace him in January stat

    Very nearly cost a goal with one of the strangest attempts at a cross field pass I’ve seen in the first half. He was better second half with his distribution in fairness, much better actually, but he isn’t good enough, it’s that simple.

    I actually thought he was decent last night and took a lot of responsibility in when in the middle of the park. Not his fault he was continually left 3 on 1 when crosses come into the box.

    The flip flopping of extreme opinions on him is wild.

    Poor recruitment has meant we can't afford to rest him no matter who we play.

    He must be knackered.

    Aye I thought he did alright, one mental attempted clearance aside. Fair play to him though, he's always trying to make himself available for a pass, he never hides.

    Wouldn’t say anyone is flip flopping, you get some who rate him and some who don’t.
