At this rate we'll need a first choice RB in the summer as well

 

* me right off that to be honest. Literally tried to steal 10 yards and it ended up wasting about 30 seconds. Just * throw it back to the centre-backs and we'll make the 10 yards up through one forward pass

 

For context, he signed last January and came into an in form team destined for the treble. It’s incredibly easy to slot in when things are goin well.

He was overrated because of it. He’s just a good player that will not go to the next level.

 

He had a terrible game today. So many basic mistakes.

He needs to get back to last season's form and effort.

 

Moaning last week about the fans booing a 1 nil win and taking an age at the end to even take a throw in at 1 each..

I thought he was one who got it..

Getting sick of him..

 

No, he came I to a system that fit his strengths, it's now been flipped to be a different kind of fullback that doesn't suit any of who we have at the club

 

If a fullback can’t adjust to a different style of play then he’s just an average limited footballer.

I believe he was overrated last season. I still think he’s good but playing below his capabilities.

No one is getting passed marks this season

 

I couldn't believe it, trying to get up the pitch and this guy takes 30 seconds on a throw in.

 

We've taken ages on throw-ins all season, but that was particularly bad.

How we've went from getting the ball back into play so quickly the last 2 seasons to where we are is just another sign that Rodgers influence has unpicked success.

 

Remember people saying he was an upgrade on juranovic, absolute balls he is.

he needs dropped bigtime

 

I sang his praise to the high heavens last summer, after his world cup displays (didn't watch every Canada game) and his first 6 months here, I genuinely thought he could've slotted in at a Liverpool or an Arsenal.

But it now looks like a purple patch, and that maybe he's actually not that good at all.

Hard to tell, Rodgers has came in and * a lot of things up in my eyes. We could probably sit and have a pop at Kyogo, when we know how good he is.

It's just a * situation to be in. I just can't believe how bad Brendan Rodgers and the coaching staff have been. Board matters aside.

 

I'd agree except we need TR for LB at the moment. What times we live in.

 

No, I don't agree there. Styles and roles matter, you can see that all over football these days, key example keepers, traditional stoppers that excel at that are being replaced with less good stoppers that are better at playing ball at their feet.

It's evident all over our play where the change of style is impacting. Kyogo far less effective, Maeda, Abada. Taylor gone from POTS candidate to *.

Rodgers wants football that this team was not built to play and that's obvious, he talked about building on what we had but all he's done is go, "right lads, that play you did before, forget it, we pass about in a U shape now. We never stop, no we stop plenty and pass it about the back and let them get 11 behind the ball"

 

You could say the same for strikers

 

Serious regression. Looks bolloxed from the 65th minute in every game aswell. Couldn’t get up to support Kuhn at all

 

Lying down on the pitch too in the 89th minute when he could clearly just walk off. Another minute lost.

 

I think the pressure has got to him. He isn't looking happy and he's making silly mistakes he wouldn't have before.

 

Going to need to stop with the regression patter.

He’s been * for much longer than he’s been good now. Maybe he’s just not that good.

Another one that people love to leave the blame at Rodgers’ door for, yet his best games in a Celtic jersey came in the first few weeks of his arrival.

Hardly enough time for Ange’s world class coaching methods to take effect.

 

I was pulling my hair out at that throw in and shouting at the telly.

Between that and him consistently making a * of very basic passes, crosses or being able to get by a player, I’m seriously beginning to wonder what anyone sees in him. He’s absolutely * crap.
