[Matchday] Celtic v Partick Thistle, League Cup, Quarter Final, Wed 25th Sep :KO 19:45(Good luck with streams)

Well he was better than any of the other wingers tonight...so who’s ahead of him? Why not judge on the here and now.

Apart from Forrest, the winger positions are absolutely up for grabs. There are no other first choices per se.

 

Johnston's been good. We've missed Johnston I think he tears guys apart and always looks like scoring or creating goals, he's definitely first choice on the left and would probably have done damage to Rennes, the weekend and tonight.

Morgan I prefer on the right but he doesn't look a winger, not quick enough and unable to get behind players plays a bit like a poor mans Christie rather than a winger but he probably won't get a game in the middle as theres Rogic, Christie and Ntcham.

Elyounoussi has had a quiet start, looked decent on his debut but since then hasn't really done a lot and not been involved much. Could have subbed him at HT tonight to make a point.

 

In Sinclairs position, Elyounoussi and Mickey Johnston are ahead of him. We didnt bring in a £16 million player on loan to not play him and MJ needs to develop in the first team. If both are fit it will be Lennon's plan to rotate those two, Sinclair is not ahead them.

 

We refused to play a £15m loan to player at the end of last season

 

That is probably the most idiotic stat Ive seen for a long time. You think this suggests he is going to produce better form than his first season based on his first 80 minutes of this season . PMSL

 

Game of 2 halves

 

His price doesn’t determine if he’s going to start or whether he is going to be good enough. So far, Elyounoussi has been quiet and Sinclair deserves to start ahead of him at Hibs in my opinion. I’m sure Elyounoussi will turn out decent though.

 

Tbf a stat can't be idiotic. You've interpreted that entirely on your own.

 

Johnstone has started this season really well but I think because of his age he will still be a bit inconsistent. At times last season he was like a lost bhoy.

Elyounoussi has been quite quiet. I think he will turn out good. I think he will be the type of player who can play an incisive pass or hit a good shot. However, there is absolutely no way that he is going to take a man on and hit the byline which is the exact criticism that is levelled at Sinclair by some people. I believe that wingers can be much much more than just runners anyway.

Morgan should really have been loaned out again. He isn’t ready at the moment.

 

Aye good one.

 

Players who didn't even make the squad tonight:

Bain
Bauer Šimunović Jullien Taylor
Bitton Christie
Shved Johnston Arzani
Griffiths
​

Hazard
O'Connor
Kouassi
Connell
Dembélé
Oko-Flex
Afolabi

 

We've got some amount of talent at our disposal.

 

Going to be a nightmare picking a bench when everyone is fi....

Bain, Gordon, Bitton, Simunovic, Bauer, Taylor, Ntcham, Rogic, Hayes, Morgan, Elyounoussi, Sinclair, Griffiths, Bayo

Imagine trying to narrow that down to 7. Gordon, Simunovic, Bauer, Taylor, Morgan, Sinclair and Griffiths possibly sitting in the stand. Guys like Frimpong, O'Connor, Eboue, Connell, Okoflex, Dembele, Arzani, Shved, Afolabi not going to get a look in.

 

We should be looking to use the loan market in January. Get some boy's out on loan in England or likes of O'Connor and Connell out to SPL side's for 6 month..

 

Always like fan highlights.

 

Considering the game tonight I’d say Sinclair deserves a start ahead of Elyounoussi, he was only on 10 mins before he scored whilst Elyounoussi played over an hour

Sinclair deserves a chance. I've defended him to death in here.

But Elyounoussi has been just fine. Still settling in and 2 assists.
