Well again CG cost us goals. 1st instead of playing to whistle he thought is was offside and didn't try. 2nd just lies on the ground and let's him just walk around him.
As soon as a goal goes in people was on De vries, so better do the same for CG people on here. That's on top of CG kicking it out of bounce.

Have to disagree 1st goal Fernandnio miss hit and gordon was wrong footed 2nd goal was a great touch from Sterling to cut back on to his right foot Gordon had no chance with either.

Utter pish, second goal came from dembele wrong pass and brown extremely weak in tackle. All our problems come from poor first touch and very poor ball retention. That is the class difference in class. And we just scored 😊😊😊.

Dont know if we can blame CG for any of the goals tbh i wouldn't have expected him to do better.
That's the thing with him tho he never makes a save and I think wow how did he get that.

I thought Gordon played well
He is a far better shot stopper than the other guy
My only problem is he does not open his mouth
Several times tonight he just needed to call Lustig, Eric or Toure " leave it " and it would have been his ball and panic over.
Now they good stuff
well organized. lustig, Toure, Eric and tierney ALL immense
Rogic1st halt, Bitton what a shift. captains performance from SB
Dembele. keeps getting in position and putting it away
James Forest. revelation. works hard in defense and his final ball getting better
Sinclair great in first half
I would have take a draw before this game with an expectation that we will beat BM at home and get a result away
Europa League after Xmas with a chance to get out of the group stages is a good performance if we can hold it together.

Aaaaaaa dembele/ brown mistake was in middle of the park soooooo CG had a lot of time to see the play.
What about that WIDE OPEN net when CG completely missed the cross and dived out leaving only lustic to save the WIDE OPEN net?
If you come on here and say DE vires should have stop every goal in game he has played. even against barca, then complain about CG mistakes and poor play.
The 3rd goal he palmed it right to middle of box, I'd that was DES then you would be on here complaining about that too. so why not CG?

We've just got a fantastic result against a class team, can we not just enjoy it instead of funding negatives.

What a lot of sxxt if you think CG was at fault for any of this goals you know nothing. CG has been poor for 20 months and deserved to be dropped but also deserved to regain his place after a poor replacement.
1st Goal - a lucky deflection leaves the Man City player on the penalty spot man on man with 24 ft of goal to aim at CG get down to them?
2nd Goal - sterling runs beating KT superbly switches feet. Beautifully selling both KT and CG as he turns back in himself. CG going down as he thinks he's taking a pop so covering the shot so I don't think lying down as he walks the ball past him is a fair appraisal.
3rd goal - great movement. Should have been cleared better from defence but Aguero gets in takes a pop CG gets down low and saves and pushes out past penalty spot with Nolito runs in. From that angle it's almost impossible to get it round the post. Aguero is 6 yards out and the save is pure reaction. But Stevie Woods will get CG into training on Monday morning to teach him how to flick that one up over the bar next time. Easy.
As for the stoppage time save that was sheer luck. A one handed push over the. At from a deflected shot from 18 yards. That's so easy every goalie should be getting them.
Not saying CG is a great goalie but credit where credits due and get behind the team when they perform like that. They battled played great football and entertained. Yes players made mistake but it's football that happens
There wasn't a bad performance on the park it was a game to enjoy and be proud of yet someone always wants to focus on the negatives.
28 Sep 2016 22:48:17
The problem lies with Bitton didn't make strong tackle all night does not track back quickly enough. Had wanyama been playing we would havewon 3-0. Yes Dembele got it wrong yes Brown could have done better but you need someone in the centre who could cover the central midfield area.

Tommobhoy that's the point! Ppl always blame DE vires even when we win, or any other player in the team as Ppl think Celtic have the right to win every game and losing or losing a goal they lose their shiat!
DE vires is always wrong to a lot on here yet CG gets no blame, so I ask why does CG not blamed for every goal like DES? Is it cause he is Scottish?
It was a great game! Not being negative just trying to open Ppl eyes and trying to understand how CG after all these years of costing us in CL and EL gets away with it yet an injured new keeper gets beat by the best team in world and great 1 in 1000 goal on weekend gets slated?
28 Sep 2016 23:24:50
Footy, think you're missing the point, you don't bring in a replacement who is no better if not worse than the one you are replacing. We all know CG s deficiencies it's just that De vries obviously is not a solution!
28 Sep 2016 23:50:18
Haha 1 in 1000 Goal. Yeah 1 goalie out of 1000 would have let it in. DDV has been poor his shot stopping and decision making haven't been good. So Craig Gordon as I said deserved to dropped but so did DDV I actually think Leo Fasan should be given a chance as I don't think either is doing enough to be an outright No1.
However your point was CG cost us goals tonight which is ball ox he played well and deserved credit there was even a marked improvement in his distribution. He's not been at his bedt but it's not fair just to criticise for the sake of it. Especially after a result like that. It's even more unfair to criticise just because another player is getting criticised.
Watch the goals again and ask yourself honestly. Would you really have expected him to save any of the goals. He ain't inspector gadget
But hey to quote a typical football cliche. It's a game of opinions.
