Luis Palma

Cuts inside, then gets the ball took off him. That’s the theme over and over.

 

So one footed. That was a chance for him to make an impression and he done nothing of note. Had high hopes when he arrived but he’s just not what we need now

 

Find it hard to be critical when he's played so little but after that first 5 mins he was atrocious. He will smash the MLS if he goes there I'm sure but not good enough for us now

 

Punt in January.

 

Given how 1 dimensional he is I don't get how he's never really been tried on the opposite side of the park.

Delivery is only thing he's got going for him. Would probably be better off just taking touch and whipping one into the box from the right hand side, especially once Idah was on.

 

Looked a little better then Yang yesterday but just doesn't have the athleticism Rodgers wants. Hopefully the MLS rumours are true because he is a good guy and is a decent player just not suited to how we play. So hopefully a deal for him to go to a club in MLS is worked out next month.

 

Looks like a winger badly lacking in confidence. He was afraid to try anything creative yesterday.

 

I think that's the only tiny thing in his favour at the moment, the fact that he was thrown in from the cold and expected to produce something.

 

He went on the outside several times when he came on as well to be fair.

Looked dangerous at the start, then dwindled away. Also thought he made a couple yards a good few times and had to check back, with no movement in the box to hit. All so static.

He’s not making it here now, that’s clear, Brendan doesn’t rate him, but I stand by him being a far better option than Yang.

Throwing him on yesterday to save the game after not playing doesn’t surprise me when he doesn’t play fully fluent. For me he should be coming on as the first back up option. A different option, that can be very dangerous.

 

Just said it in the previous comment but thought he was trying to be very careful about when he would try the final pass, and the lack of movement in the box was very poor. And he’d check back, looking for the perfect option, and lose the ball.

Still for me probably showed more creativity than both Yang and Maeda though. The latter I’m sure being effected by the bug in the squad, he was actually sweating. Maeda doesn’t usually break a sweat regardless of the shift.

 

Empty him with immediate effect, nowhere near good enough. I remember laughing when Beale said he was offered him and didn’t want him………looks like Beale was correct.

 

He's never making it at celtic. He's had too many chances and he just never really makes much of an impact. Kind of player who may end up going somewhere else and looking better than he does here, but i see almost no chance that he suddenly 'clicks' and becomes a starter for celtic most weeks.
