    Don't see the point in sacrificing Kayal, Bitton, Brown, Johansen or even Henderson for that matter to try and accomodate him in the middle of the park.

    His lackadaisicalness and ability to beat 4 players and then lose the ball would do us no favours there either.

    Especially the way we are playing at the moment, looking pretty vulnerable on the counter, having Efe as one of the 2 or 3 centre mids would be stupid.

    I think people are just clutching at straws trying to find a way to accommodate him in the starting 11, when really, we don't and shouldn't have to.

    Im not saying he should always be in the starting eleven just a bit sick of hearing people slag him off and knock his game even when hes not always been the worst on the park. Never helps any player becoming a scapegoat.

    Not saying you, just after looking at the last few pages noticed numerous shouts about a central midfield role. Don't see why he is more suited to that, his passing isn't great, shooting shocking, no dig about him and not his natural position.

    I'm not using him as a scapegoat either mate, I have never really rated him and would much prefer a Celtic team without him.

    Might sound harsh to some because he is 'oor efe', but he is one of few in recent times who I really have no time for.

    My point is that yes he makes mistakes at times but one of the biggest complaints people have is him playing at right back. Hes Nigerias starting right back they have a pretty large pool of players to choose from if hes that awful how come hes not been replaced?

    For every good thing he does, he balances it out with something utterly heart attack inducing.

    Do you know any other Nigerian right backs? :56: because I don't.

    In all seriousness though people (me included) have been unsure on him long before he was being played at right back this season.

    They might have a large pool of players but it doesn't mean it's a good pool. Other than the household names a large majority of their squad still plays in Nigeria.

    Ambrose is probably their best option I am guessing.

    My knowledge of right nigerian right backs is not extensive:52: but he doesn't seem to * up for them as often as he does for us maybe the system works better for him. As for the rest thats your opinion and your entitled to it:50:




    ....even if your wrong :wink::smiley-laughing002:

    Utter hysterical rubbish . List the games and the number of people who have incurred heart attacks whilst watching Ambrose play. Jack you are just another example of people who have either rarely watched him play or are influenced by the few who continuously bad mouth Ambrose .

    Sonny if your heart cannot take any more you would be better to stop watching Celtic as maybe someone somewhere might benefit from your continuous existence . I wouldn't imagine by a lot but probably a wee bit .

    Take your tongue out Efe's farter pal. Your the worst kind off supporter out, the pure biased kind that cant see no wrong with your team or player even when it's right there in front of your eyes.

    Ambrose is a good player, but he is an absolute bombscare! Wake up son

    He could be in Donegal, Monaghan or Cavan, to be fair.

    That's a good point you Mr Doire. But still, it doesn't excuse it. He should no better.

    Thought Ambrose played well yesterday apart from the back-pass, won the ball back a good 5/6 times in the first half. Assist for the first goal and great pass to McGregor to set up the 2nd.

    Im still reeling from some of the abuse dished out by ulsterscot on this page. So if you dont like Efe Ambrose you are now a racist, should stop supporting Celtic, or probably dont watch Celtic that much anyway.

    Im not sure of your motivations for posting Ulsterscot, but this thread is for people to offer their thoughts on Ambrose as a player. Stop judging people for exercising their right to free speech. You clearly think Efe is a player that deserves a chance. Fair play. that's your opinion which you are entitled to. I disagree with you, but im not questioning your morals, your right to support the club or anything else about you on a personal level.

    How about you calm the * down and back the * off!

    I think you need to take a look at our team, because the majority of our players play in Europe. And not a single one of them is a natural Right back :54:
