    He's been trying to hold not only his position but the other 3 in midfield for a couple of seasons now.

    He has to cover the lack of effort from Hatate, and whatever other * was the starting midfielder tonight, I cannie even remember...

    Hes another in sharp decline, well before tonight!

    Constabtly dropping deep playing 6 yard passes then pointing where it goes next, * sick watching it.

    Gets taken out of the game by anyone half decent now.

    The older he gets, the more he points.

    Il pass backwards but point forwards and maybe people will be folled into thinking i have passed the ball forward.

    His pass for Maeda was good in fairness though. Just not enough of that from him.

    Needs replacing, signs were there last season and we should have looked at this in the past year.

    Jogging about, pointing constantly but doing nothing himself. Second to every ball. Then the back pass just summed it up. He was woeful from start to finish.

    There's issue across the midfield but he is part of it. We need pace and dynamism in that position for Europe and he doesn't bring it.

    Isn't good enough defensively either.

    We also don't have a single midfielder capable of putting a tackle in. Our stats for tackling/winning 2nd balls must be insanely low.

    Full of shitebags.

    Badly need legs in midfield beside him if he is to play, Nygren and Hatate don’t work in the same team either.

    In addition if a full back doesn’t invert McGregor is left stranded. Teams who play a McGregor type 6 normally have to very physically capable players to support them and that’s probably Hatate and Nygrens worst bits of their game.

    We really should have moved back to more of a 4–2-3-1 or narrow 4-4-2 but we haven’t tried anything really different.

    He is done. People need to come to terms with this sooner rather than later.

    I said last year I hope he retires at the end of the season with his reputation intact, I got laughed at.

    He's a total fucken shitebag, never a Celtic captain in a million years.

    The sheer amount of games he has played since his early 20s will definitely not help.

    What age do you think he is when you watch him play?

    That and the fact he is usually having to cover the other two muppets playing in midfield beside him...

    He's aging like warm milk. I wouldn't be surprised if he did retire this season or next.

    32.

    I see him being just as mobile as the 28 and 24yo in front of him.
