    I prefer him when he's injured.

    Thank * we'll never see him starting for us again. The minute the crowd got on his back, he went into his shell, never to be seen again.

    Honestly, get the scapegoating to him straight to *, his first touch today was loud as * audible groans and moaning.

    His first * touch. That doesn’t help anything.

    Why are we blaming him for being needed to play, and trying to prove himself and at the very least never * hiding.


    Boy deserves plaudits, recognition that he should never ever be in that position that we’ve needed to rely upon him, and direct the rage and toxicity elsewhere where its deserved.


    He’s not good enough, I respect him going through 20 odd operations and trying his damndest, regardless of it working out or not. Some with more ability would do well to have his mentality of demanding and searching to always be available for a pass.


    Injuries * his chances, he shouldn’t be a guy we’re looking towards but we are. That’s not his fault that.

    Looking at the stats, Yang is far better defensively and a lot worse end product wise.

    At least he has a goal & assist though, far more than MJ. Yang was brilliant against Aberdeen, he needs game time.

    Depends on how you look at it, if Yang buries the sitter that MJ set up for him and he gets the assist to his name does that make a difference to what MJ done? Or if Palma buries the chance he set up Thursday, does it make a difference to how good MJ done because he has 2 assists at that point?

    I’d be playing Forrest right now, and we shouldn’t need to be doing that either.

    I've absolutely no time for booing players before a ball is kicked, regardless of your opinion.

    An absolute * disgrace.

    While I'm not his biggest fan, he was far from the worst player in that 1st half, at least he tried to get on the ball and make something happen.

    Maeda was absolute horseshit in the 2nd half and offered nothing, didn't here any boos then.

    I didn't realised he was getting booed, didn't come across on the TV. He was * but no need for that.

    was it Before the game?

    Very true, but just going off stats of G/A.

    Forrest definitely not the answer either, Vata looked promising yet disappeared back to the B team as well last year. Puzzling our lack of youth chances, especially after Frame impressing on Wednesday.

    Don't want to see him anywhere near the first team again.

    Play a kid from the under 20s or whatever.

    * it.

    Would rather give our youth players a chance than guys who have proven on numerous occasions that they will never be good enough for Celtic.

    He literally was the worst player on the park in the first half. Maeda at least has a history to point to where we can see he is at the least competent before considering it was his first game back in how long and he's flung in at the deep end

    It was a hard watch tbh, too slow and predictable, it's incredible that we are still persevering with the guy.

    This is why we're in trouble relaying on players like him and Forrest and seeing bernabi coming on that was enough for me .

    Too many players in and around the squad/team who are nowhere near good enough.

    The one thing we were crying out for in the summer was first team quality, instead we went down a familiar road of cheap options and projects, and this with CL fitbaw on the horizon, total madness.

    I genuinely can't wait til he's gone be it released or on a permanent just so I know I don't need to watch him or hear about how unlucky he is again I'm sure Vitoria will be on the phone on the 1st of Jan to get him back after his stellar season in Portugal last year

    Him and Maeda are both * pish mate. It’s sad that most of our support has accepted this level of player as the norm because we need miles better.
