Matt O'Riley

Seriously impressive debut man. Re-watched the highlights and he was involved in pretty much everything good from us. Some of his first touch passing and link up play was nice as *.

 

Gonna be so hard to pick a midfield 3 when all fully fit lol

 

Yeah agree just need to actually have them all fit for a bit now. When we signed Hatate, Ideguchi and O’Riley we weren’t expecting McGregor to join Turnbull out injured and Ideguchi to have picked up a knock already.

The only CM type we don’t really have is a physical ball winner with decent distribution. Being honest the player I think could bring that to us and have thought this before Ange came in was Riechedly Bazoer of Vitesse. He currently plays CB for them mainly on the left of a three but he has excellent vision, good pace to cover the ground and came through at Ajax as a DCM. Given he is only around 6 ft he is quite short at CB but offers excellent distribution and ball progressing abilities.

Would be another versatile player in the squad too and given how our players are getting injured so regularly having as many of them as possible wouldn’t be a bad thing.

 

Looked promising. Doesn't have any pace but a quick and clever brain can overcome that(see Moravcik, Lubo) and his technique, passing and vision looked spot-on.

 

Still, I hope McGregor is back for the Huns game, he looked a bit shell-shocked after the game last night, he ain't seen nothing yet..

 

Proved he can step in at short notice and preform to a high level. Can't ask more than that given the little football he's played. Looks a very useful addition

 

Having Mcgregor back for the zombies game would be massive but at least O'Riley showed that he is capable of jumping right into a big game and producing.

 

Thing about that though, it’s at Parkhead, no Zombies, first time we’ve had fans against them in over 2 years I think. Everything will be for us and supporting us and against them. Different atmosphere completely than Tynecastle. I know what one would be easier to play I in for me.

 

Aye baptism of fire last night straight in on a tight pitch with no much room..

Be different next week. They'll sit off, play on the counter and he'll have a lot more room to play with..

Be a bit more up to speed after he gets a taste of our pitch on Saturday..

Type of player you can see creating chances on a plate every game..

 

Turnbull going to find it extremely difficult getting back into that midfield

 

something to work a chant for him ?

 

Unreal for a young guy making his debut at Tynecastle that..

Ooft..

 

Brilliant debut , he probably didn’t even know half his teammates names or Ange style, he can only improve as he gets to know his teammates.

 

Wit an aesthetically pleasing human.

 

Brilliant debut he looks a real talented player. Turnbull will find it difficult to displace Rogic and Hatate with O'Riley looking very good too. Great options for the manager to have

 

Absolute find man

He looks familiar, like someone I’ve seen from a film, Matt stifler from American Pie lol

 

Predominately left footed but his cross for giakoumakis was with his right, gona be a classy player for us, him and rogic side by side will give teams nightmares!!

 

Knew exactly what he was doing with the cross as well, not just an aimless ball in like a lot of people would have done in that scenario.

Had the vision to see the run and execute the ball and as you say on his weaker foot.

 

Between him, Sutton and Hart, did Celtic manage to find the only three guys in England who are not *?
