Cha Du Ri

It was brilliant to see Cha playing again tonight and I think he was one of the few players on the field that can be in some way proud of their performance. He was roasting players up the wing and made some brilliant defensive tackles when we needed it, especially that one near the end where he was the last man and took the ball in a perfectly timed sliding tackle.

He took his chance to show his worth and I think he done it pretty well, anyone else think he is a way too overlooked when it comes to our back line?

 

Agree. Was fantastic tonight

On a related note, Wilson was * again, he's had a bad start to the season IMO

 

cha MOTM

some engine on the chap

 

id say its a throw up between Ledley and Cha, possibly Ki too for MOTM

 

Agree with Joe and cha ki was ok but those 2 were a bit better

 

He should be proud of * all.

Giving away passes all night long, as well as being inept going forward. His defensive positioning is non-existent and it's something I played close attention too tonight.

The only good thing I remember about him tonight was chasing back and tackling their forward out wide and he got a free kick for his troubles. Ironically that came after being caught horribly out of position.

Pace is all he has going for him and I'm afraid that's simply not enough. Should never be a first team player at Celtic, the sooner he's out of the team the better.

 

Ewww... throw up between Ledley & Cha... that doesn't sound too good, lol. :bbpd:.

I know what you mean though. There were some good performers thoughout the team, but these 2 were exceptional for the entire 90 minutes.

 

he was pish tonight only player to gets pass marks from me would be ki and maybe ledley he cant pass and is poor going forward only thing he can do well is knock the ball past a player and run onto it

 

I thought he was good , especially when you take into account his lack of game time

 

cant believe the opinions on the same player for the same match are so varied

if we are going to talk about players giving away the ball and making poor passes we can talk about the entire team. How was he inept at going forward? He made it forward many many times more than Wilson did on the other side. I reckon your anger at the whole team is clouding your judgement at the singular performances by some of our players. Cha played really well for someone that gets * all game time even in SPL matches let alone European nights.

Catch yourself on, he deserves to get his chance and he has had very little of them. Very defeatist attitude wanting him out of the team, there are players who play more than he does that id like to see go alot quicker.

maybe ledley? you must have been watching the wrong game mate Ledley was solid in the middle considering we didnt have Kayal there to perform defensive mid-field duties and he got forward to stick his head to a few to try and score

 

We must have been watching a different game, he was dire going forward.

Why exactly does he deserve a chance ? He's rarely played well for Celtic - anytime he's played he's looked suspect defensively. Mark Wilson has made that position own, Cha would have been nowhere to be seen had Kelvin Wilson been fit. And even then, I would have started Adam Matthews before him.

 

Who deserves your passing mark on tonight's game then ?

 

Best player on the pitch tonight after Ledley IMO

 

Ki & Ledley definitely.

 

He deserves a chance cause he played well, thats my original point. He has rarely played for Celtic, that was also my original point so why not let him prove himself more? I have no arguments though what so ever about Mark Wilson making that position his own, he had a poor game tonight but I cant fault him cause he has come on amazingly this past year - after being frozen out of the first squad for so long. sound familiar? cha du ri familiar? I cant disagree with the fact that he wouldnt have played only Kelvin Wilson is injured. I dont like injuries in our team, who would? But I like the fact Cha got on and played well

 

Class tonight showed passion and desire and played very well attacking and defending .

 

One of our better players tonight everything that was good happened down his side but he was let down by his team mates a few times not even trying to get some movemnet on the go!

 

Name me a single occasion in his celtic career where he was caught in a bad defensive position. He got up and down the pitch really well tonight and if we had a proper target man instead of sammy he would have 2 assists to his name. Not a single winger in the spl can get the better of him, and this has been proven time and time again, and not too many wingers in the world can get the better of him. There is a reason why he has over 50 interantional caps and i think you need get your head around and see that his defending is no worse then any other fullbacks at Celtic. In fact his pace means he is better than in most ways than the likes of Wilson. I truly cannot agree with you on a single point on this player

 

You are seriously expecting me to list all the times that Cha has been caught out defensively ? I'd be here all night ffs, numerous times tonight for starters.

Not too many wingers in the world can get the better of him ? *, I wish! No chance of that happening when he struggles defensively against mediocre SPL players.

Mark Wilson is head and shoulders above him defensively, and in his all round game.
