Welcome to Celtic Auston Trusty

He absolutely should be getting judged plying with "weaker" players as a better player will stand out - Trusty didn't...

 

Too early to judge but he looks like a total dud.

Am I doing it right?

 

I agree that Trusty was bad as well, but i said that i wont judge him because he played alongside Welsh. If you play alongside a hilariously bad defender, you have to run and cover 2 positions. Could say the same in the Welsh thread about Trusty, but we just don't know as Trusty have not played alongside a good defender yet, but Welsh has and he was still as *.

 

Two CBs coming out from cold, a new signing at LB against a team that whilst in the division below us, are clearly playing out of their skin and would be giving most, if not all, the teams in the SPL a run.

Much rather wait to see how the season goes and see if he gets an extended run partnering either CCV or Scales.

 

Wouldn't be going studs up on the guy yet. Kuhn to a good while to get going. Let's be fair to the guy.

 

Way too early to judge, give him a few starts beside CCV and then call it.

 

I understand where you're coming from/going with this, but I'd disagree to an extent... With the keeper and defenders it's very much a case of the weakest link, for me. They might look better than the rest, but rarely hold it all together by themselves. If they do, it's usually the keeper. The other fella is right about the defence pulling each other out of position/shape if it's not right. That's natural for the positions and the way they're expected to cover.

Personally, not impressed by any of the defenders to start with, and not really blaming them either. That was a complete patchwork quilt at the back yesterday, with players who hadn't, and probably won't again, played together seriously beyond training exercises. None of them did anything to stamp their right to challenge and none of them deserved to be torn apart over it either.

Yesterday was an exercise in Rodgers playing the squad during some heavy fixture congestion. It was actually good management to play with the depth and keep our powder dry with the actual 1st team as much as possible. We subbed on strength and showed what we actually could do in the end. Extremely unlikely we see that kind of weakness in more than 2-3 games this season, if at all again

 

I’ve seen him play in the prem last season against both Everton and Liverpool, playing for Sheffield Utd or not he was * hopeless.

I didn’t want us to sign him in the first place but when we did like any other player we sign I want to get behind him. But he didn’t look great at all.

People will blame Welsh but it wasn’t all his fault.

Honestly hope he does come good and we haven’t wasted all that money.
