Dundee Utd v. Celtic, Saturday 22/08/15, 12pm Kick Off, Live BT Sport 2

emdae got the goals

 

Good win at a usually hard venue.
Positives. Good game time for a lot of players before the dust up in Malmo, and no injuries which is important. Good to see Scott Allan make his mark, and getting an obligatory booking like Broony :icon_mrgreen:
Ronny has options at his disposal for Malmo, should put the heat on them.

 

Janko and Rogic played well, Janko should def start on Tuesday if Lustig isn't fit. Griffiths scoring early again aswell, no surprise.

Stokes was awful, Commons not much better.

 

Celtic manager Ronny Deila speaking to @CelticTV after today's win over Dundee United: "It was a good performance.


RD: The first half was very good although irritating to concede a goal just at the end of the half.


RD: That made us a little stressed in the second-half but we continued after a bad start and got more into the game.


RD: We got the third goal and in the end we won in a comfortable way. We should have scored more goals even though we score three.

RD: We have a lot of players that can do a job now. It's not just the players who play regularly that are improving.

RD: That makes the whole squad better so that's a good thing for us to know that we can put on nine changes and still win games away.

 

Thought Commons was decent.

 

Stokes had a hand in two of the goals. He has had next to no game time this year.
I swear some people on here are just lining up to pan Stokes at the first opportunity.
Disgraceful.

 

Griffiths does well scoring all those goals but it isn't all him usually. He is very often played through by a great pass.

 

Which goals? The first was a deflected through ball from Izzy, second was an OG after a poor pass from Commons, third was a deflection.

 

O'Connell was good today.

 

I have a good feeling about Scott Allan.

This Bhoy will read off the defenses` clearances.
With which we have been lacking in lately.

 

Did you miss Stokes' pass for the 3rd? Was a * belter.

I did, will give him that. Was a really good touch by GMS though

 

First and third goals mate.
What game were you watching ?
Stokes threaded through two lovely defence splitting passes.

 

Stokes was *, deal with it

 

He wasn't involved in the first at all. Mulgrew passes to Izzy who passes to Griffiths. The game where Stokes was constantly losing the ball and ending good attacks. Might have been cause he's unfit but he didn't play well

 

He played really well mate, I kept a close eye on him and he was talking the rest of the defence through the game. Impressed.

Good result and great to see Janko do well, as did the others. Just wasn't happening for Stokes today. Allan was very good, liked his touch and passing was good. So unlucky with the drag around back heel thing to almost put Commons in.

 

Good win and managed to rest most of our players while as far as I can tell Malmo is only resting two players for their game today.

 

Stokes was the poorest man on the park for us today.

Which is quite something, considering Ambrose started.

 

Sorry but no he didn't he never touched the ball once for Griff's goal that was Mulgrew to Izzy then Izzy to Griff

fair enough it was a good ball to GMS but apart fae that Stokes is a * Moon Monkey......

Couldnae get a game wie the * hurricanes (showing my age but * it)
