    He’s been at it all season coming out of the right side position and coming centrally in the defence when their be no need to

    Come on, this was brutal from AJ. Then Yang was looking like a headless chicken.

    Watching back their from unique angle on Celtic tv am fuming with him he’s went right out of his defensive position on right side cone more centrally in the box standing right next to another Celtic player as the goal goes in when he should be hunting down matondo

    I see what he was doing, it's no excuse though, he's got dragged inside and then thought he can't leave a space and that someone else has it covered in front of him.

    But he didn't need to stay there.

    Specially when he sees Yang being left as the only one marking him, he should have immediately stepped forward to Yang's left side and helped press.

    That simple action would have forced the Hun to not make the move, even if he did, present another defender he has to get by, making the shot not viable

    Very poor actually from AJ, caught ball watching and being far to naive.

    More you watch it Iwata is poor, sure either Peter Grant or Neil McCann mentioned it last night and can see their point, AJ like the cbs is quite big so they're probably told to try and make themselves big around box.

    Shocking for their third goal. Weak as *.

    Actually thought he played quite well up until that point.

    Worst bit for me was when missed the ball for what should have been an easy clearance.

    It's no wonder Beaton picked the two on the right to book early on.
    Completely makes them stand off their man and gives them that free space.

    We let them get in our heads in that sense.

    Thought the second he took the game by the scruff of the neck. Set up two goals and always looked to press forward. His best game in some time for us.

    Interview great again.
    He should just be the official spokesperson from the players for the media

    The difference was mental but could say that about most of the team.
