    Izzy was horrendous. He can't deal with the aerial diagonal ball, was way off the pace mentally, and Elfsborg targeted his position all night long, as he is the definite weak link in that defense. We need a new left back.

    I would say he or mulgrew were our worst players, both constantly giving the ball away, izzy especially kept losing it in bad spots such as that freekick he gave away in the second half.

    EVERYONES passing was pish!! Ledley gave the ball away more times in that match than he ever has and hes usually our safest passer. I blame the pitch wholeheartedly, you could tell the players were nervous on it.

    Totally agree. Everything was coming from that side.

    I don't think he was any worse than anyone else. They were all as bad as each other.

    Thought he was okay, looking quite comfortable on the ball.

    Was great defensively. Superb in fact. Was culpable as so many were in terms of playing a simple ball but by no means the worst there either.

    Don't think I've seen Izzy play as bad as he did tonight. Absolutely pish performance.

    * weird performance from Izzy. Absolutely * at times. He couldn't pass wind doesn't know how to clear it then makes a few quality blocks and interceptions. Still he was dodgy looking as * for most of it.

    Good defensive performance from him I thought last night. Just has to cut out those aimless runs from side to side and patch up his passing a wee bit.

    He was excellent defensively imo but he got caught out far too often when trying to play it out from the back. It isn't a crime to punt it now and again but Izzy never likes to do this. Overall though a pretty solid performance.

    Hate to say it because I really like Izzy as a player but he was very poor last night. To be fair he had plenty of company especially in the second half. But he got caught in possession in some dangerous spots and gave away some bad free kicks. Needs to just clear the ball sometimes. I love his ability going forward and he can be a solid defender. But he really does over play things sometimes at the back.

    He's a defender and his defending last night was fantastic!! Won almost every tackle. He was * in possession though, but tell me a Celtic player who wasn't?

    What is with his constant fear of clearing the ball ? He tries to play it out of trouble far too often.

    I actually thought he had a decent game last night. What is it with our defence trying to dribble in and around our own box though it shortens my life dramatically lol
