    Frimpong coming on was a major factor in the turnaround today but the fact it was Taylor who went off was just as contributing a factor, as much as a slag Ryan Kent playing Taylor against him would suit him to a tee,

    Talking about Odonnell, Taylor is not abysmal but probably on a par with Stephen Odonnell, Odonnell went from Kilmarnock to Motherwell and will be a good addition to Motherwell, Taylor is off the same level and both no where near a starting player at Celtic, would be a decent squad player but not our main starting left back

    I'd honestly never have this boy in a Celtic line-up again..

    He's beyond brutal. I've tried at time's to give him the benfit of doubt but he's absolutely pish..

    Slow. Weak. Tiny. First touch bounces up or out for a throw in. Crossing is pish in the main. Can't beat a man. Constantly looking to pass back..

    It's excruciating to watch..

    Get a left back/wing back. * anyone with pace and a left peg in i don't care who it is as long as it's no Taylor..

    It's not that he can't beat a man, he doesn't bother trying. Any full-back defending against him knows if they show him inside he;ll just end up passing the ball backwards.

    Would love to see some kind of passing stats for him, can't imagine many of them went forward.

    You are just waiting for the back pass, every time he is faced up with someone even if he is passed them when receiving the ball he tends to turn back and knock it back towards the half way line.

    Give Charlton what they want for Doughty as I can’t take watching much more of that from Taylor.

    Honestly I think he looks worse than he did at Kilmarnock, which is pretty mental under the circumstances. Wanted to give the boy a chance (and i'd be willing to give him a chance at back-up) but he is nowhere near good enough to start for us.

    Replacing Tierney with Taylor and Boli should be a sackable offence for the recruitment team.

    Thing is, I just don’t see this ‘useless’ or ‘hopeless’ or whatever other word of that ilk player.

    I actually think he’s a good player but his lack of pace and directness doesn’t work for a Celtic full back.

    Recieves the ball then passes it back and runs like a * into nowhere, rinse and repeat.

    Want him to succeed but I hate it how everytime he bombs forward 30 yards he'll always turn and pass the ball backwards

    Half the switch balls were good balls he was just so out of position to receive them.

    Getting a bit cringey now. Everyone watching & everyone involved in that game tonight including Greg knows he cant beat his man, its stop, turn back and pass it, momentum gone. We are toothless down that side when he plays and tbh honest he's pretty powder-puff in the tackle as well, just gets thrown about. Was fighting his corner initially but as the weeks go by he's becoming a bigger and bigger problem.
