Auston Trusty

Sell all day long, he is a big * that gets rag dolled all season by SPL heifers.
What good is speed if he does not know how to use it ? He's garbage in the air too for a guy of his size.

 

We need better than him and Scales.
Rodgers clearly rates Scales higher and I reckon we’d get more money for Trusty so makes sense.

 

Sunday for a start…

 

Scales was solid Sunday.

 

Your not kidding anyone Liam.

 

You talk an absolute power of *.

 

Id like better than him and Scales and given Scales will be low salary, it'll be Trusty first to go.

 

Scales time and time again has been * against rangers

Only convincing performance last season was Atalanta … ohh yeh was * in cup final too

To be fair if we got the same what we paid for him I would be happy.

Don’t think he is the answer but then again I can’t see us brining someone else in now.

Just a mad window

 

I'm gonna put my faith in him to step up this season, after the start he's had. If he can stay confident even after mistakes it'll go a long way to helping his case. Neither him or Scales are perfect both both can play a big part.

 

If we cant hold on to guys like Trusty and Taylor as squad options it shows the challenge of trying to build genuine depth in the squad

 

He has been poor in the last few derby games we've played, as have most of our team in those games. CCV has had a few shockers in those games too. We have conceded 10 goals in the last 4 derby games CCV has started. Should we drop him too?

Why is the bar always so high for Scales? Other players don't get examined under the harshest lens Scales does. I find that peculiar.

 

Because he’s rarely solid majority of the time he gets bailed out he’s a bomb scare centre back who doesn’t look assured at all we seen this story before when Rodgers persevered with boyata

That's absolute horseshit again. He is generally solid domestically, we would be dropping points around the place if we had a bombscare centre back for us. At SPL level Scales is a solid defender, the stats support that too.

 

Trusty had plenty of other dodgy games last season too. He had a car crash in Dortmund, Ross County away as well, Aberdeen at home in the 2-2 draw he was very poor. For me Trusty is a bit like Starfelt, when he's on his game he's very good but when he's off it he is complete car crash and his brain turns to mush. I would actually have Scales above both Starfelt and Trusty as his base level is far more reliable than either of them. Starflet had games like Tynecastle and the League Cup final where it was mistake after mistake and you just, Trusty has had the likes of Dundee and Dortmund away where he looks like a deer in the headlights. Scales doesn't have those performances where he turns to mush, he seems to have a stronger mentality where he can recover from a mistake.

The revisionism around Starfelt is something else btw, the guy did well for us on a whole but he made an erratic mistake every other game, penalty concessions, red cards, OGs - remember the one against AZ where he hacked one into the net under no pressure. The one where we got caught on the ball v Ferencvaros? The league cup final display where he was at fault for the goal, should have conceded a penalty at the end and took a fresh air swipe that allowed Nisbet in on goal? Do we remember his debut away at Tynecastle? The OG v the huns, the red card at Ross County, the daft penalty concession at Ibrox. And that's off the top of my head.

It's all about narrative, those guys hot held to a low standard because we paid a bit of money from them and they came from more respected leagues. Because we signed Scales from the LOI - people set the bar ridiculously high for him to be acceptable here.

What I've seen from Scales at Celtic. he has performed consistently to a higher level than Starfelt has and Trusty also. It's still relatively early doors for Trusty but his performances last season were of such an erratic nature.

 

If scales is the standard that people are happy to accept then they have poor standards. Trusty doesn't fill me with confidence either but he's better in the air and quicker than scales, both are probably similar on the ball taking it out of defence.That alone would be enough for me to start him over scales. I'm hoping Pusey can be that guy even though it's only a loan but Celtic should definitely have a CB better than both scales and trusty.

 

He is absolutely not better in the air than Scales is. The facts comprehensively disprove that theory. Scales attempts more aerial duels, wins more aerial duels both in raw numbers and %. Scales is statistically 3x more effective at carrying the ball forward than Trusty also. So your basis for starting Trusty flawed. Scales also contributes more in an offensive sense, he is far more aggressive and attack minded with his passing. These are all supported by the stats and this is why Rodgers is currently going with Scales over a £5.5m signing.

I agree we should be looking for someone better than Scales but Trusty, Nawrocki, Lagerbielke and all the other guys people pine for over Scales have not proven they are better than him and Scales starts on merit until we have a better defender than him. Why do you think Rodgers chooses Scales over all of them.

 

I think Trusty is better than Scales in about everything. Maybe Scales have been more consistent domestically even though i think that is debateable, but Trusty have been Way, Way better in Europe.
