Arne Engels

I really don't see many, if any, being overly harsh on the lad.

Almost everyone is able to admit and see he is a talent, but needs dropped for a period to help himself and the squad.

In a way that he gets a rest from constantly playing and having more (relatively) poor games than would be ideal.

Some players, during development years, need a little rest from the action.
That's not a bad thing to acknowledge.

At the same time, we are able to acknowledge others in the squad are in better form and are able to help out for each other.

It's literally a positive suggestion to have Engels rested from some games currently.

Scapegoat for what?

Mentioning someone has been pish for weeks isn't "scapegoating", especially not when it's mentioned in their dedicated thread...

 

A myth that fans are looking to do that, how many players were scape goated after the win over Leipzig?

None, why, because they all performed that night, Engels has been under performing for multiple games in a row now, the criticism is justified, hence why he's getting it, with the added frustration being that everyone knows Bernardo should be starting ahead of him atm on form and hasn't been, hopefully Bernardo will now get a well deserved run ahead of him in the starting 11

 

Not gonna give up in him just yet but he has been pretty poor of late and deserved the criticism.

He's still adjusting to our style and league and country hopefully.. We've seen this with plenty of players who just need time to adjust to life here. Kuhn being the prime example I'd say

Coming from Ausburg to Celtic is a complete change of environment and maybe BR is trying to change his style of play.

First few games he played he was outstanding so maybe just a dip in form, it happens.

Probably stands out more too because of the price tag and everyone else in the squad playing really well for the most part .
