    I still remember the after match analysis of Wanyama by John Collins, Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp, showed all the individual highlights of Wanyama, "putting out fires all night" as Redknapp called it, they were blown away by him, he was incredible

    Aye but there's a difference between dominating the midfield against one of the top 3 sides in Europe and then a 'decent' performance.

    I agree it's a big night for him I said as much last night but this won't determine whether he's had a good debut season for us or not tonight.

    He was brought in on a 5 year deal to be built up and developed as a footballer. Not to instantly impress his first champions league knockout tie. He's already contributed in Europe this season and shown he belongs there.

    Tonight is his acid test, as long as he constantly shows for the ball and gets stuck in, that's all I'm asking for, just don't want him hiding behind opposition players all night and not making himself available for a pass, been all too guilty of that if you watch him closely in many matches, that's not a top player mentality

    Truth is I'm just extremely frustrated because I believe Bernardo to be the better player and don't think it's fair that Engels constantly starts ahead of him, tonight obviously different with Bernardo being injured but I mean overall

    Think Arnies the best midfielder for Celtic so far . Let's see what happens in the second half.

    Some people were writing him off. Absolutely mental.

    He was good. Not the finished article, but insane potential.

    Just realised I posted this in wrong thread but aye so frustrating. In a way it's a player knowing his limitations and knowing he doesn't have ability to drive forward into the space but a player with those limitations shouldn't be playing at that level then

    In terms of Engels, thought he done really well tonight. Think if he bulks up a bit he would be even better

    I thought he was excellent.

    Anything good we did came through him.

    Yep, I think he really stood up tonight. Looked like he wanted to get stuck in as well.

    His potential really is massive. He needs to iron out a few things, no doubt. That will come. 21 years old, man.
