Welcome to Celtic Alex Valle

Yup.

Saw enough to say he isn't honking. He tracked back well in most cases and some good blocks.

Needs more game time and beside more established players, both in front of him and beside him.

Would like to see him with scales and CCV beside him and Maeda Infront of him

He does fight, but Scottish physicality is a stark contrast to Spanish football. Hopefully the assist will mean Rodgers at least gives him more chances.

 

Mixed bag but so difficult to make your debut in a completely new back four. Better introducing these guys one at a time.

 

Looks really good on the ball and on the attacking side of things. But he did struggle defensively and building from the back. Showed good flashes though, definitely potential there.

 

Lots of promise going forward, always wanted the ball and made some neat 1-2's
Defensively, clearly needs some work but it was unfair to drop him into reserve back 4.
Falkirk.lad against him was excellent tbf

 

Looked good going forward but defends like Bernabei

 

He was rag dolled for both of their goals, and that's a big worry.

 

He looked very poor defensively today. The Falkirk winger was giving him a torrid time in the first half. Didn't look strong and didn't wasn't quick at getting back into position off the ball. Can see why we haven't seen much of him so far. Really needs to hit the gym and up the work rate.

 

Early days but I thought he was decent! One thing that was noticeable though, when Taylor came on it was like a step up in quality. Valle will grow into it if given opportunities though

 

As others have said, absolutely can't be judged on todays game, but today showed why Barca loaned him, looked miles off the finished article. Early on his passing, in particular, was shocking. Time will tell, but maybe we should have just promoted a development player, as think we are doing exactly that here.

If we don't get Taylor's contract extended soon we should be seriously looking at bringing in a LB in January.

 

He looked like a young player, looked physcially weak and I was surprised he was outrun a few times also by that Agyeman guy. Sloppy on the ball 3/4 times as well, think that Agyeman got the better of him and had him rattled a bit.

Although the whole team were quite poor and slack and never really got into full flow.

 

A guy can have all the skill in the world but to cut it in Scotland, need that bit of physicality, like AJ and Ralston on the other flank. And that's why Taylor gets it constantly on here, his lack of physicality. And why Benny failed.

 

Ideally we’d see him get his first game alongside a full strength team to see how he looks rather than alongside a back 4 with another newbie welsh and raldo…. Also had that * show palma on his side. Amount of times he made a run first half just for palma to cut in slow it down and do nothing.think the one time palma played him on his run it resulted in the bernardo goal. Bardo to judge on that game but he showed glimpses.

 

I thought he showed some positive signs but ultimately looked lightweight and unsure about our system. Very much like a kid making his debut.

Still think we should have went for someone more established. Hopefully we can give him proper gametime in a more settled team to see what he's about.

Taylor has obvious limitations but domestically he fits our system like a glove.

 

I’d love to see him get a game with our strongest team.

 

Why? Was it his play today, because you expect a Barca club player to be a step above, or something else?

 

Tbf, the whole of the left side were pish..

Trusty, Valle, Hatate & Palma.. didn't do each other many favours but it's clear those were too many changes..

Can't make any judgement on Valle or Trusty tbf.. Hatate's and Palma's attitude to the game was more of a concern..
