But to where, Celtic are akin to a midtable EPL side these days
Quality of Scottish football is terrible imo. You see average players like Sinclair move there and dominate. Would rather him play in a mid table prem side or maybe Italy. 30+ games against good opponents beats the 6 hard games he gets if Celtic make the ucl

Rogic, Risdon, Behich and Mooy all had much better games this time round. Sainsbury and Leckie remain our two best players at the tournament so far. I thought Nabbout did well in winning one on ones, but he's not proving to be much of a threat on goal (then again Juric just came on and got in the way). I know he's a whipping boy on here, but Kruse needs to go for Arzani next match.

Nothing wrong with Celtic.

Need to get some of our players playing in better leagues though. Behich and Sainbury should be playing in bigger leagues imo. Even Risdon Has been looking surprisingly looking good
Scottish football is hash these days though. Celtic are fine but their competition is horrid

Nabbout tries hard but I don't think es the answer. Juric, even in limited minutes, was our worst today but I think he has more tools and his game suits this formation better than Nabbout

We need strikers,strikers,strikers.
I know Jedinak has scored the goals, but we need guys who play forward like Luongo at CM. Jedinak sits on it and plays it back and side ways too often.

The Irvine sub was wrong. In those last 10' we needed another guy who was going to infiltrate the box, rather than a box to box guy. Arzani was whipping them in, and Leckie also had penetration.

Rogic took them on, but he took an extra touch here and there when he should of let rip.

I'm done with Kruse, but loathe to start Arzani at this stage. Danny needs another 5 or 10' game time though

At a stretch bring him on at the half.

Start JMac against Peru.

Nope.

Nabboot was in the A League until February and he was the best. All the others are foreigners.
Can't fault Nabbout's effort, works his socks off but it doesn't look like he's going to score any time soon.

In saying that though would much rather have him on than that donkey juric who is not anywhere near good enough for international level.
