Kenny Miller

That's a good few months he has had to play, and the general consensus is he is not good enough in Europe. The chances he had tonight, Henrik would have stuck them away easily, and changed the game. Kenny's teamwork can't be questioned, but for Europe he's not a goal predator. I accept that he scored good goals against Benfica and Rangers, but against the so called "diddy" teams he has done nothing in terms of bagging goals, which is what he is paid to do. We've had to rely on the midfield to get us out if sticky situations. Then you look at Henrik, who scored barrow-loads against SPL teams week in, week out. Even Hartson did the same.

I realise it's not a crisis, and we are through, but we need an out and out goalscorer, and Magic is doing nothing, nor is the injury prone Vennegoor of Hesselink.

 

Its only once in a while when you get a Henrik, you cant compare anyone to him

 

Aye but for a club to move forward, we need someone who at least regularly scores goals. I know Henrik is incomparable. I like Kenny, but he's not hitting the target enough.

 

hesselink for me is the best finisher we have

hope to * he gets injury free soon

 

Kenny aint a finsisher, he's a creative forward for me.

 

Kenny Miller will try is very best, and the celtic support has come to love that about him.

But lets be honest here, for the Champions League, we need a finisher.

For him to miss those chances tonight, and the one on ones against hibs. Its disgraceful.

His header tonight reminded me of the one against Ukraine. Time to replace him and Magic

 

agreed , but what do you think of zurawski ?

 

Not better. But not worse either!

 

miller gives it his all-110% every game- a would play him in outwide n use his pace to get in behind defenders-will run alday for you. but cany finish much, but at least hes trying and hes in thos places to have a shot or * it up like he done the n8.

 

A striker needs to take his chances though.

Its a sad day when a striker goes through one on one and you know there is more chance of him missing it.

Miller is no more than a fringe player, and i hope GS is aiming to find a new striker in either january or the summer.

 

a do agree hes not a stricker and his 1 on 1s the n8 were poor- still would have him i my team outwide

 

bullsit, one bad game. before this month he has been dino. looks at the goals he has scored for use already, top class. we need to play him eveygame not only is he a play maker, he is always in the right spot and forget what everyone is saying after tonights game, he can still finish

 

more than 1 bad game m8- every celtic goal is a gr8 goal doesy matter who scores it. think he still a gr8 player but * at finishing everything else bout his game is brill would be 3rd name on ma teamsheets.

 

I completely agree. Don't forget that he scored three important goals to get us through to the last 16.

 

If you read the original post mate, you'll see I'm not slagging him. I like him and his team effort. He doesn't score enough goals for a striker though. You can't deny that.

 

i guess he doesnt score as much as the top strikers but he is never in the position that he is the only one on the team relyed on to get the goals. he is playing with other forwards and the modfield is pushing up. the goals he scores are always some at important times and thats why i think he is great.

 

As I said the minute the idiot join us, he'll work, he'll work hard but like Pearson, IT AINT * GOOD ENOUGH!!! He has limited skill and class. Being able to work hard for the team is the more basic requirement of a pro football and when some people see it from Miller and Pearson they confuse it with class and skill.

I said when he joined, I said he cant finish his dinner, and how many times have I been proven right so far this season. I'll be proven more right by the end of this season.

He's not good enough and average SPL performances where he gets one decent goal in 5 of the best chances doesnt cut it.

 

Miller was really hitting form and the goals before injury and circumstances broke up his run. He seems to have lost confidence again but until a few weeks ago he was really looking good and finishing. I would wait and see of he hits scoring form again in the next two weeks before getting on his back. I do, however, reckon that a Celtic strker that plays most games should have at least 20 a season. We will see in May.

 

im IRISH so i dont see any scotland games i dont get the whole kenny Miller thing??? why is held in such high regard in scotland..i believe strachan signed him on one game v.italy..miller seems 2 be the type of player who will impress on any 1 viewing(workrate)..yet thats till u see he couldnt score in a brothel after half dozen games...for example everytime beattie plays he makes scoring chances out of nothing even if he doesnt score..miller never even gets much chances ....i really wanna like him(bigheart) yet he just aint good enough..how is beattie in his recovery by the way

 

couldnt have put it better myself..dont worry mate stokesy will soon be banging them in
