Auston Trusty

He was awful tonight but aside from that and his debut I think he has been solid final included. Weird for the manager to publicly dig him out a touch disrespectful tbh...

 

I think its fair comment. He was rolling around a minute before holding his foot and then got ragdolled by a 21 year old a few seconds later. He should never be getting beat in the air from that position. He had a shocker tonight and the comments from Brendan were deserved. He needs to learn from tonight, put it behind him and concentrate on his performances.

 

Maybe its because Trusty came with a £6M tag, and Rodgers quite rightly expects Trusty to be stronger on the ball and stay on his feet at 6' 4', instead of getting pushed around like a big fucken *.
Rodgers took Trusty off in the Cup Final against the Huns because he was constantly passing the ball back and sideaways, and not providing an outlet. Scales provided the better outball, and most considered it a masterstroke on here.

Rodgers needs to settle on his best CB partnership, and stick with it, personally I think it is CCV and Scales for a lot of reasons.

 

You know, I'd forgotten about that.

I don't dislike him as a player but him getting bullied ahead of that second goal we conceded was just abominable. I literally can't believe a centre-half could get brushed aside like that. CCV needs to get him down the gym.

 

Dreadful, getting skinned by kids, needs to man up bigtime.

 

All these people moaning about trusty he didn’t have a great game aye! But why is no one slaughtering CCV he goes to ground for the 2nd goal when he doesn’t need to also! If he stays on his feet the boy has nowhere to go and isn’t getting that shot away which deflects off him

 

BR is renowned for his man management. If he thinks Trusty would respond better to public criticism than Scales then that'll be why he's done it.

Could motivate or have the opposite effect, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt he that he isn't just * on him for no reason.

 

Had a bad game it happens. If these players were not prone to some bad games they wouldn't be at Celtic he would still be at Arsenal.

 

I would stick with him next few games.
Just not the time for chopping and changing.

 

I think Rodgers was quite right to call him out. You just cannot be getting bullied by Simon Murray when you’re the size of Trusty. It can’t happen.

It was similar to Jullien against Dykes, but at least Dykes is a big lump of a guy.

What I will say though, is that if he’s slating Trusty like that, he should have done the same to Scales after the Ibrox match.
