[Matchday] Celtic v Dundee Sunday February 20th kick off 3PM Celtic TV

We have been poor since the Rangers game. Good result but was a struggle to watch at times.

Middle of the park was bypassed far too easy at times.

 

Agree, however you’ve forgot about the 4-0 win at fir park. Most important thing is we’ve got 6 points away at Aberdeen and at home today whilst being nowhere near our best, that’s what wins you titles. Think we’ll get out of this run of poor performances by pumping hibs next Sunday.

 

You watch their season collapse once we go 4 clear.

 

Fair point there. I was not aware of that.

 

Truer words have never been spoken @Hammy89.

 

A know it’s mental our 2 best home performance s outside the Huns game we’re our first 2 home games of the season when we blew Dundee and st Mirren away by 6-0, and we were still a shambles, kyogo was on fire then right enough, the sooner he’s back the better

 

A know we absolutely blew the Huns away could easily have been 5 or 6-0 htime, okay saying we’re playing * and still winning, the thing is we’ve seen how good the players starting today can be but since the Motherwell game their standard s have really dropped, if today was hatate, oriley first game, you’d be thinking, jury still out

 

Watching hatates first game ,his passing range and vision was spectacular, first time passes to players and defense splitters , not seeing the same player now , idk why , are the players being g told to keep the ball don't lose possession, if so it goes against wot ange talks about " taking risks " or possibly hibs had a go and there was more space .

 

A hard watch today pace of the game was too slow a few players seem to be off their game a bit, North stand linesman was a joke counted 4 times in the 1st half Mullen came from an offside position to challenge for the ball and the flag stayed down so glad we mamaged to bypass their blatant inability to do the job and get the win

 

He also flagged a Celtic player offside when 4 Dundee players where playing him on

 

Set piece defending is really poor particularly the first one. I feel Hart needs to be more commanding there come and even punch that out or just claim it. Hatate is very poor at defending these too he is totally switched off.

The second one showed our problem, we are always mismatched in the air from set plays if the delivery is right. Good ball from McGinn and Sweeney was too strong for our defence. Hart should have started higher rather than being on his line there as well.

A game like today would have been better for Rogic where a team mainly sat in and allowed him time on the ball instead of being given a chasing by a super fit Bodo/Glimt midfield.

 

Some prediction @martin_d

 

Ahem......

 

This guy has came from nowhere. Gavin Duncan. Straight off the plane from a dodgy back street tattoo parlour in Benidorm. Next to the Ibrox Bar!

A 5 star hun performance if I've ever seen one from a mason in the black with a Rangers tattoo!

Dodgy Duncan!

What a result today for Celtic. That's more like it. You've got to roll with it. You've got to take your time!

 

I can not remember a game this season where so many crosses were whipped in to the box - this was great to see.

However it is the responsibility of receiving players to get to those balls in time and score. A side foot will do, but it needs to get done. We should have scored more today to avoid these last minute desperation goals.

Celtic must not have to keep conceding set piece goals with regularity. This is our Achilles heel.

 

Said it as soon as replay was done goal should never have been given

Said it elsewhere. I think the number of crosses into and around Giakomakas was a big part of Anges plan today.

 

Aye it wasn’t a block it was holding

 

Watch next Saturday morning. If we best Hibs and get 6 in front, that for me could be the tipping point of their bottle falling and shattering...
