    Another 2 assists today,dunno what he has to do for ppl to like him, he is a quality RB, top assists for our team it think, if he has a fault going forward he doesnt get enough goals lol, defending not the best does what he can though and tries hard

    I have been very impressed with Andreas lately and I have been one of his harshest critics.

    Catholic's honor I am glad that he is making me eat my words.

    He's won me over with regard to his attacking play however I still have reservations about his ability to defend well. I suspect those defensive frailties will be put to the test on Thursday night.

    I'll be watching with interest to see how he does.......

    I think this is indictive of the modern full-back tbh, look at ashley Cole and Glen Johnson, they are great bombing down the wings but defensively, not so good.

    Would agree with that, I cant believe people on here not so long ago were claiming Caddis and Wilson were better options :56:, although I do rate Caddis, but he is not in Hinkels league. He is without doubt an asset to the team. :50:

    I actually don't think he's that bad at defending. I think at the start of the season he was partly at fault for the goal against Moscow and maybe was it one arguably against Rangers? Maybe, but the rest of the time he's been solid for me.

    Anyway if you're of the opinion he is poor defensively, people go on and complain about how we should be playing attacking football, or alternatively should be playing "the celtic way", but he is exactly the kind of exciting full-back that fits that bill.

    I am in no way complaining about the defendsive side of things, just a mere observation.

    is this like the myth that nakamura couldnt defend even though every game he was back on the edge of his box winning the ball :rolleyes:

    hinkel always seems to be making important tackles around the penalty area and he always has

    Maybe not you craigy(?) but I was talking in general terms, a few weeks ago Hinkel was one of the least popular guys on the team and people were pining for Caddis for some bizarre reason.

    As Morgan has said Hinkels always making good challenges - and I've also picked up on a good few goal-line clearances and covering Caldwell too. Not to mention he's supposed to be hitting the by-line in attack.

    Being playing well for a good while now, he has good intelligence with his positioning, and a not a bad dribbler at all considering the amount of good dribblers we do have at Celtic, crossing has improved or is it our strikers positioning to get to the crosses in dangerous areas?

    Keep it up Hinkel :50:

    Caddis is average and certainly not as good as Hinkel in many aspects of the game but when we get our consistency back, I'd like to see him get more game time

    im not haveing a go at the guy! as lads have pointed out he does make good tackles but he makes a few errors of judgment at times too! he also gets caught out of position at time too! but understandably thats cos of his good attacking attributes he has.

    he is playing really well imo, has been for ages. he whips in a great ball, a nightmare to defend against & a real joy for the strikers to attack.

    i really have to agree, andreas has been so solid and ive enjoyed watching him play. a good mood lifter amongst the bad eggs in the team currently. hope he stays for a few more years at least. :50:

    is hinkel still in the germany set up? or has someone else now replaced him? it would be good to see him at the world cup though mind you?
