    There's better options just now, I think he has a lot of potential and he's a hard worker into the bargain but it isn't happening for him.

    I actually still like him, decent on the ball and good work rate but he is a centre-mid and doesn't cut it out wide.

    fair enough players go through bad spells, and he is even playing out of position, but * me why does he persist on taking free kicks and corners, i dont no if he is told to play for the front post every time, but he hardly ever beats the first man.

    Looks devoid of confidence..

    Needs some time on the bench.. Before his Celtic career becomes irretrievable!

    Looks as if he lacks the belief to make it with us.

    I'm beginning to dislike him which is telling me he needs dropped quick.

    When we have guys waiting in the wings desperate to make an impression I find it incredible he is still in the side. I think Deila is keeping him there purely for his work rate when what we really need is more guile.

    Why does he put both hand's up like it's something that's been worked on with some imagination? He has never put in anything different than the central floater :56:

    I understand he's got more issues in his gane but am I think the only one who notices the glaring issue of his finishing? The guy cannot score, he's probably the biggest culprit in terms of attacking players we have behind the striker who cant put it in the net. Gets golden chances most games and never converts. Not just referencing today, but its been this way all season, with the memorable game for me being Aberdeen at home when we couldve gone 4-5 up if he had the finishing. Get him to work on his finishing and nerve and that will * build up his confidence; we will see a better Armstrong.

    His finishing is worse than Forrest's/ Johansen's nevermind the likes of Commons/Rogic/Gms etc etc..

    When he tries to bend it, he always bends it too much and it goes wide. When he laces it, he drags it well wide or it's a pass back..

    He did all today, again..

    Just a terrible crosser of the ball. You'd think he might try something different.

    Surely JC who was excellent at set piece's, must have a word with him, or set something up?

    We try nothing off the training pitch that would totally throw oppositions big hammer throwing diddies sitting infront of the keeper for one of Armstrong's specials..

    Put one arm up and play a diagonal to the edge of the box for Bitton or when Commons play's, on the volley.... * me, anything..

    We've been quite good as Boyata is pretty dominant when attacking the ball in the air but really, that only tells half a story..

    It's getting tiresome. He has been shocking for months & we have half a dozen players that could offer us more, yet he's a first pick.

    He's a good enough player who just looks like his confidence is shot right now.

    Really looks out of place, and not comfortable playing in that role.

    He's not comfortable, you're right. That said, doesn't help when your first touch is like he's wearing * wellies

    Even if he was to be played centrally I wouldn't have him in the side ahead of Rogic, Commons or Allan. Even Johansen.

    I think they would all offer more.
