Kieran Tierney

He will be a good player for celtic over the next 10 or so years.

I can see Izzy getting less games this season after the way Kieran has played so far.

 

Between he and Janko.. Full back is the only position on the squad I'm excited about the future of.

 

aye I'm the same right now

 

Oh for sure Izzy will be back up player now. Ronny playing Tierney tonight was basically him saying he's first choice I'm sure. Do you know who replaced Frail as youth team coach? It's a much more important position for us than other big teams who can just afford to buy players.

Aye Janko is an exciting player, looks to be another player who can read the game well.

Cheers You know much about him?

Thanks So he's been with us since 2009, that sounds good, like they reckon he's progressed enough from the younger teams to handle the Under 19s.

 

A real diamond in the rough that is our current backline

 

He is a breath of fresh is this young man. Head and shoulders above any other player last night. I am still raging this morning, not coming out of my office until at least dinner time * hun * out there ready to pounce on me.

 

It hasn't happened.

We are going backwards. Celtic Park isn't an intimidating place for teams right now - we've conceded 2 goals against Malmo, Fenerbahce and now Molde at home.

And the football isn't exciting. We get the odd game every couple of months (or few months) like Dundee when we play really well and we're exciting. But most of the time it's slow, passing sideways followed by a dozen crosses with no end result.

 

We conceded 5 and scored 2 against a team that are 6th in the norwegian league, the guy who scored the winner was 40. Wake up.

 

Played excellent last night, I thought he was weak for the 2nd goal with Eleynoussi (sp?) - at first thought it was Lustig, but on 2nd viewing noticed it was him. Also had a bad lapse in the 1st half when he slept and expected Blackett to run from his position to clear which was the wrong thing to do.

But he was our best player by a mile, always going forward, crossed well into the box but with our forward line and lack of players in the box, it was wasted on his efforts.

He's looking very promising though.

 

Are you happy with the direction the team are going in? Do you think Deila's tactics are working?

 

So our defending against them was completely acceptable 'because they're the best team in the group'?

We've conceded 2 goals a game in Europe for a good while now. On average, since Ronny came in. That included a defence of Denayer and Van Dijk, two of the best centre backs it's feasible to be at the club, he doesn't know how to defend.

That is not good enough.

 

He was the only player on the park who could hold his head up high last night. The other players could learn a thing or two from him in terms of what it mean to pull on the strip. He is living the dream, and you can see that by the heart and desire he shows, unlike some of the other imposters we have in the squad.

 

I'm happy with SOME aspects so far in Ronny's reign, but when you have been outclassed over two back-to-back games by a (good looking team to be fair) which includes a * 40 year old midfielder......well.......come on to *!

I have defended Ronny to the hilt since his appointment, but now I have run out of excuses.

Our defence is absolutely shambolic (outwith Tierney, and then Lustig), and our "big game" players have been relentlessly toothless/gutless/spineless.
