Liel Abada

Thought his decision making was dire all game. Trying to take long shots on his left through crowds of bodies on the angle.

 

Wonder how he will react when he scores.

Looks totally detached from the support.

It's best to move players like Turnbull and Abada on I think.

 

I’m not too sure why people think he’s “checked out” or that performance had anything to do with the current situation in terms of his homeland. That was just a normal performance from him. Give him space in behind and he’ll look excellent, but without that he’s extremely average technically so will always find it difficult to generate that space on his own.

Was no issue against Buckie thistle as we were able to put the ball in between their centre half and full back at will, today was a different story and he had zero impact on the game because of it.

 

He was decent enough yesterday but just not happening for him, especially his link up with an out of sorts AJ.
I would have actually hooked Kyogo on the hour mark and moved Abada to the front. Kyogo was dreadful yesterday, an empty jersey.

 

He’s just not very good and will never develop into a top player.

He has good movement and can get into goalscoring positions, but other than that he has very little to his game.

Punt him in the summer and get a winger who can actually dribble past a player once or twice a game.

 

He’s * and fact he scored them 3 goals against Rangers seemed to hide it for a while.

 

I think he's a good player but again Rodgers slow style of football is nullifying the good aspects of his game.

 

Think we need to be more patient with abada tbh, played very little football for quite a while now and we won't have any sort of match sharpness yet. We know what he is capable of, give him time to find that form again. If he doesn't by the end of the season then perhaps moving him on is a talking point

 

Really hope we sell him.

Never mind what’s happened off the park, he’s never a Celtic winger in a million years.

Can’t beat his man, scared to even try most of the time.

Looks like a wee boy playing with men.

 

I've always thought he should be sold due to the value of his potential. His stats hide a lot of lackluster general play. With the situation he's in now it's even more imperative to try and move him on soon.

Obviously that's assuming that the money is reinvested (lol).

 

He seemed to get better the longer he was out. I like him but he's a back up

 

He never even clapped the fans when he came off.
You can tell his hearts not in it and I doubt he can be trusted to be giving 100 percent when we need players to stand up and show some fight.

 

I said when we signed Kuhn that a few wingers would be out the door.

Maybe not in this window, but I'd imagine in the summer we will move several players on. Abada might be one of them.

Having said that, when he was good he was very good.

If Rodgers * off in the summer, maybe a new manager can get guys like Abada, Johnston, Taylor, Kyogo etc up and running again.

I have a feeling Rodgers will leave, and if that's the case maybe I'd keep guys who we know have and can do the business. As I've ranted that a lot of our players have been * compared to their usual high standards, even our captain.

 

See the last point there, that’s been something that’s puzzling me, don’t think a lot of the like slowing down stuff going Calmac’s way is true. I think he’s got so much to cover, it looks that way defensively.

But, Calmac developed his full game through Rodgers coaching him and Rodgers extensively has shown he knows his game inside out, and regardless of where played him because it was a lot of * roles Rodgers used him as regardless of what role, CAM, a kind of LAM, an 8 or deep lying playmaker or double pivot, * even played him left back that we all hated but he done very well in, problem was more we didn’t have another Calmac in midfield as well.

Rodgers absolutely knows how to get what he needs out him, and honestly the two Hun games against two separate managers he has * done that, so Rodgers still knows. They two games he had slightly more cover in next to him O’Riley pickin when to help back or be attacking midfield and Calmac himself having more freedom in the role to do what he thinks would impact the game more. Most games I feel like each player has their wee area that they’re supposed to be in, and stick to it. Whereas when we have other players moving and breaking lines, and going places they’re not expected. Anytime that’s happened this year, has been when we’ve been good. And you can see thats a Rodgers thing, because I swear, look at when Taylor moves from classic full back to inverted. When he allows that (most obvious to spot thing for me) everybody else has a bit more freedom in their roles as well. Needs to trust the guys out there a bit more and be less rigid

 

I literally despise this chancer..

He's disgustingly limited..

Should never ever start for us again..

That right side in general is the most limited Celtic right side you'll ever see in your life..

 

Idf loving *

 

Really disappointed with him today, he has oodles of talent but just doesn’t look interested any more.

 

He'll be gone in the summer, and not too soon either, very limited player
