Paddy McCourt

Is the only person at Celtic who prob doesn't like Commons.

It's really been the fact that Commons has been on fire since his transfer that has kept McCourt out. PErsonally I rate Paddy much better than Forrest at the moment though Forrest is young and has a lot of upside

 

you serious..... ljungberg,id probably get on before him!!!!!

 

You're right there, I'd have Paddy over Ljunberg.

 

Wasn't even on the bench again, is he injured or something? Thought Lennon said he was part of his plans?

 

Hes not capable of playing for us.

 

He isn't good enough against any decent teams. Looks great against wee teams but against anybody that can defend properly he can't do it

 

I'm not sure how much difference McCourt could have made yesterday. We kept playing long high balls that skipped the midfield and unless McCourt gets the ball played to feet, he's not going to be much use.

The bigger mistake yesterday was not putting Ledley on when we saw that Ki was anonymous.

Funnily enough, the one time we did play a passing game was when Brown sent the through ball to Hooper and we equalised.

 

Still recovering from a calf injury mate. No doubt he could have made a difference yesterday. He would have kept the ball on the ground and created chances. But there's no point in if's but's and maybe's let's just look forward to the next one

 

Think it is a disgrace. It is so good to have a player like him to make an impact in the last 20 minutes or so. He can do more than Stokes or Bangura if they come off the bench.

 

Paddy would have made no difference whatsoever yesterday he would have been as much of a passenger as samaras imo.

 

paddys being out hurt , back in full training to day ,as for sat in the stands he wasnt even at yesterdays game he was at home ?

 

paddys being out hurt , back in full training from today , paddy wasnt in the stands yesterday he was home with his family .

 

He would have made a difference yesterday, and samaras a passenger? What about the other 10 players? Sammy was about the only one with pass marks, he shouldn't be used as a scapegoat every time we lose.

 

Paddy Mc Court is a game changer.......... However in yesterdays game I dont think he would have been able to make an impact as rangers are on to him and would have buried him..... Im very dissapointed he hasnt even made the bench since lennon told him that he wants him to stay, and i hope its due to the fact that hes recovering from injury, otherwise its a complete mystery........ if we had struggled last week against moterwell we would have been screaming for him to come on and do something...... yesterday we were crying out for someone like commons or ledley........ I dont doubt lennys managerial abilities as every manager makes mistakes..... but keep dropping Paddy and changing your winning tactics and formations for oppositions and gambling with inconsistent players in a defensive formation and were doomed

 

Ah the obligatory Paddy McCourt thread that appears everytime we get beat.

 

true...... but how many threads about him being not good enough etc. appear when hes playing and we win?? which happens quite a lot....

 

Pish, he played well against the huns in the 2-0 Ibrox win and played well against Hamburg the year before. You can't give him ten minutes against the huns and expect a Messi moment.

He's being unfairly judged in that if he doesn't score a wonder goal every other game in his 15 minute cameo the sniping starts. Scored vital goals and made vital assists last season before Commons came in. Would rather have him coming off the bench than Forrest.

I'd rather he just left in January cos he isn't gettin a fair crack of the whip.
