Kieran Tierney

Hands were tied due to the 2 subs in the first half. Had we been 3 or 4 up I’d imagine him and CCV would’ve been off but at 2-1 it would’ve been a huge gamble changing any of the defenders unless they were physically unable to continue.

The Balikwisha sub was also about 15/20 minutes late cause Tounekti was burst but he couldn’t have done it any sooner because it was the only window for a sub we had left.

 

Should have used all the subs, though.

 

There was no need, like I said at 2-1 knowing their only real threat was set pieces (which they were dangerous from) taking off 2 of the back 4 would’ve been a huge gamble. If he did that and we conceded he’d have been getting all sorts of abuse, would’ve been a disastrous result not winning that.

 

Tiredness could have led to conceding, as well. Now, I think Tierney is knackered for Sunday, and shouldn't play.

 

Just checked and if KT can play every match this year he will possibly play his 200th Celtic match against the Huns in the new year match

 

Hate to say it, as KT is genuine quality & Celtic, but the fears of many are correct, so far he has just not added to this current team.
Glimpes look like the old KT , when given space & time & mainly when on his own down wing but that time & space are rare in this league & way teams know to set up against us , KT does not seem to link up like Taylor & simpler more direct players would.
His skills & desire are there but his stamina and speed are not up to old KT & doubt they will be as he has had (and clearly is prone to) too many longe term injuries, and sadly regardless this current team are not there able to play intelligent stuff anyway.

Sad reality is Taylor & similar would improve this side as they are simpler quicker players and needed to fit a team that now needs to play a lot harder & quicker if we are to win this league.

His signing to this team / squad was like putting Gold plate on a cracked bowl.

 

Waste of a position with this guy playing

 

Are you kidding me, GT the reserve left back for PAOK improves the Celtic team over KT.
What are you watching or maybe (mis)remembering?

 

He does though. Was Taylor a great defender? No. Did he improve the way the team played in attack? 100%

We cant * attack anymore.

 

Agreed, but it's absolutely not down to missing Greg Taylor.

 

Well they mark mcgreggor, taylor used to drop into the middle giving a second option. Allowing the attack to flow. Nobody is there now. No attack flows

 

Today's results and the league performances so far is a collective of players under performing but Rodgers is the main problem.

 

Sarachhi should be starting , this isn’t even a 50% first time KT , crossing is woeful and looks scared to tackle or beat a man

 

I miss Greg Taylor
