Fantastic performance and BR got the selection and tactics spot on. I thought the lads that came in were excellent, Edouard a stand out and i hope we see more of him his movement, passing and touch gave them problems throughout the 90. Hayes i thought put in numerous decent balls into the box possibly his best game in the Hoops. Young Ajer composed and confident and hopefully in time will be our CB for years to come. Ntcham who i have praised since his arrival is starting to look like a bargain. All in all great result, team performance with some exceptional individual performances with the fringe players showing they can be relied on and more when needed. Wee special mention for Forrest who has turned his Celtic career around under BR, his consistency, attitude, performances at a different level and he is without doubt currently our star performer. Let's reward the people within the club before we spend in January, Forrest, Ajer, Edouard let's get them tied down on new improved long term deals.

A very good assessment of the game yesterday Stan.
But can I ask did Forrest not sign a new deal this summer?

It was last summer Kev, a 3 year deal so only a year and a half to run. I think, not 100%. His play merits a deal similar to KT in my opinion.

Always felt edourdo was trying too hard, did well yesterday though and a good hatrick, was I imagining it (cause I was not hungover) but I thought we were 3 up at half time, did I imagine that or was a goal chopped off?

Yeh Memaself Rogic had a goal chopped off.

I thought Edouard looked fantastic. I would really like to see plenty of him in Dembele's absence. The Anderlecht game might be too big and too soon for him to start, and LG will be champing at the bit, but I would like to see him feature. He's a bit more in the mould of a striker who will benefit us in Europe. Looks a prospect. Do we have an agreement in place to sign him proper, and how much?

I agree with nearly all that has been said.
The only nagging doubt I have about Forrest is that his upturn in performance has come since Patrick Roberts has been at the club, now that Roberts is out long term and may even not play for us again, will Forrest keep up these levels?, or will a lack of competition see him go back to his old ways? .
I would like to be convinced that he has turned the corner before I pushed the boat out financially on him.

Thanks Stan, thought I’d imagined it in my drunken stupor ðŸ˜ðŸ‘.
