    Another performance to forget. He should've been brave enough to take a shot. But instead he plays a * pass that gets cleared.

    Disappointing. He's destined for a transfer out of Celtic. And this season.

    Aye a player with more confidence would have buried it. He was actually pretty good when he came on though.

    Dumpling should have shot when through on goal with only their keeper to beat.

    It's purely a confidence issue. The talent is there and we've all seen it. But we saw it about 3 seasons ago. What's happened?

    Such a shame.

    Done very well to get through as well, fast, direct, put them on the back foot, determined to get through when it looked like the defender might get it.

    Confidence was shattered though, could literally see him thinking if I miss this I'm going to get slated for not giving it to Griffiths or Commons.

    Apart from a poor slit second decision I thought he came on and showed why he's on our books. Whenever he got the ball he would shake up their defence and force them into making a challenge or conceding a throw-in.

    Tonight actually showed why he is a good player to have in the squad. Squaring it instead of shooting was clearly to do with a lack of confidence.

    Neither of them were going to reach the pass he made either, even if it had passed the first defender.

    Exactly my thoughts at the time. Apart from that I thought he was decent after coming on.

    Not sure about that, would need to see it again. I thought it was going straight to Griffiths. I wouldn't be surprised though, just fire that across goal. Get it on target, if the keeper saves it then it's most likely going to Commons.

    Poor decision trying to square the ball when he should have gone for goal, but he did brilliantly getting into that position in the first place.

    I just think that because of how tightly Griffiths was marked, and Commons was a bit far away for the weight of the pass. Just speculating here though.

    Done brilliantly then shat his pants. Frustrating as *. The talent is clearly there but not seen enough.

    Done more than Gms did the full game, much more encouraging.

    Had to hit the target one on one with the keeper.

    Sums him up really as Lennon said, does all the hard work then * it for himself. That's a mentality thing IMO.

    You could probably hear my groan back in Scotland when he decided to pass. :54:
