    He’s clearly not “pish”. I don’t think he’s st the level we need (yet). Some people are desperate to put a negative spin on anything.

    Would like to see him get to the byline more.

    Not targeting him at all.

    I've recognised elsewhere the issues in the team tonight. But I think he did contribute to our play breaking down when the ball got to him numerous times both first half and second. So I would disagree that he's not at fault for some of our issues in that game. Others ahead of him? Aye for sure. But I didn't see much from him that I haven't already. He's always the same and ultimately there's a reason why we are searching for a LW.

    We'll agree to disagree on that point. Our defence conceding 3 weak goals is what cost us tonight, I didn't see any of Yang's mistakes leading to Dundee goals, but I take the overall point of him not being good enough to play every week and we need reinforcements in the LW area. As he is obviously a notable drop in quality from Daizen. But Yang is genuinely one of the few players I'd give pass marks to after this game, and I think he's been ok in our last few.

    He contributed obviously. But I thought he was better against Ross County than he was tonight actually.

    Just felt numerous times tonight it broke down with him and in all honesty I don't think the opposition really fear him. You see what Kuhn does to a backline when he's running at it...we need to aspire to have 4 players like that for the wide position. It's maybe not realistic but it has to be the benchmark.

    But anyway. Will see what the next couple weeks brings, expect us to sign a LW and foe him to not feature as much tbh.

    Yeah the noticeable drop in quality is an issue, but I also sympathise that he hasn't had much game time this season and that it's normally going to take a young player from the other side of the globe far longer to settle in to a team. So comparing him to Kuhn, Daizen and Forrest isn't really a fair comparison. I agree, we need to strengthen the wide area and Yang likely won't feature much for the rest of the season, but I do on the flip side think he does deserve some credit for his attitude and effort when he's been called upon. He's been an easy target recently.

    His effort and work ethic can't be denied. I agree for sure.

    I'm just very critical of wingers at celtic in particular as it's the position on the park I enjoy watching the most.

    That's fair, and we have been blessed with some crackers over the last few years. It's a high bar for sure.

    Yep, some people are clearly letting their compassion cloud their judgement.

    With a few clear instructions, he would improve a lot. What I hope this goal has given him is confidence.

    The problem is he does get the the byline, he just ALWAYS chops back even when he’s managed to get space to put it in. He totally nullifies our usual attack plan by chopping back and passing it to whichever midfielder is on the edge of the box.

    we lose all momentum every time he does it.

    Maybe he's just changing the point of attack:fear:

    He’s always very busy without actually doing much.

    He had a lot of the ball in the first 30 minutes. But I can’t remember him putting a decent ball in the box, having a shot at goal, or playing a dangerous progressive pass into the box.

    Glad he got his goal but he needs to be much more ruthless and direct.

    Glad he got his goal, might give him some confidence. If we sign a winger this month, and Forrest returns to fitness, he's still 5th choice. We should put him on loan for 5 months for our, and his, benefit.

    Never seen a winger check back and look to pass the buck as much in my life horrendous
