Callum McGregor

Agreed lads.

There is a lot of anger and apathy about the club right now, it's not good.

 

comes deep for the ball from defender, gives ball back to defender, repeat

 

I said this the other day as well. He will benefit massively with either Lustig or Matthews behind him. Needs to lift his head at times I feel though. There was one second half when he could have played in Wakaso or Scepovic, and probably should have, but blasted one over.

 

Spot on. Fans moan about giving youth a chance then when we do they get right on their backs if they are of the boil a little bit.

McGregor will be inconsistent this season and will make mistakes but that is what happens when we give young players a chance.

Maybe he does need a rest as he carried the side at the start of the season and ease him back into with a couple sub appearances.

 

He's 21 so hardly a youth now imo he should be competent enough in the first team with consistancy and I don't think it's unfair to say his performances have dropped quite drastically the last few weeks and now needs to have a spell out.

When you think guys like Matthews, Wanyama and Forster came in at 19/20 years old or even Hooper and Kayal(Until injury) coming in at 21/22 years old performed with consistancy in the first team straight away.

Everyone likes to see youth given a chance but there's only so much you can see them and if they aren't performing then they need to come out the side no matter whether they're youth or not, imo.

 

I agree..

 

I agree, I think it will make a massive difference to our overall play just to have a real right back in the team. I would have given Fisher some game time at the weekend.

 

good to see CM back among the goals , his runs into the box are lampard-esque and he will easily get 15-20 goals this season if he stays fit . My tip to have a great match on thursday night .

 

McGreggor's a greedy wee *. On a few occasions I've seen him hit the keeper from a near impossible angle when a square ball (to scepovic, I think it was on each occasion) would have resulted in a tap in. Not a team player.

 

Mcgregor has a better shot on him than anybody in the celtic team. I believe he will replace Common's as goal scoring midfielder, this bhoy has class and i'll defend him to the hilt because he posses a lot of qualities that no one else in our team has - a lot more than commons and he will be 10x the player commons is. People need to just trust in him and let him grow as a player he's had a lot of goals already and is going only going to get better technically and positionally as a player.

 

I prefer him to Commons the now, quicker, actually scoring more and causing more problems to teams.

Only thing is it's early days and he's yet to prove consistency like Commons.

 

He has the same amount of goals as Commons

 

Was he even on the pitch

 

Time to give him a wee rest and bring him on as a sub. We need to protect our youngsters when things aren't going there way.

 

He could really do with bulking up, gets pushed off the ball far too easily.

 

Is he not 22

 

He's 21, wouldn't matter if he's 22. Still a young player.

 

I think he really needs resting as he is flattering to deceive just now without making any meaningful contribution overall. I would bring in Biton and give him a run with Stefan and Scott in midfield.

 

Not once did he take on his man tonight, constantly took the ball and passed backwards or opted for the easy option. Added nothing to the side, by far the worst I've seen him play.
