What a frustrating game. calmed them down early, decent possession, and a goal up then izzy goes mental! Start again, get control, score and look comfortable. But the second half was a nightmare. If we are honest they probably should have scored, we were a bit toothless in attack, and have Forster to thank with that brilliant save.

The lack of composure this team show at times is incredible. Fair enough you can't legislate for a mistake like izzy's, but get your game heads on quicker Bhoys. I see a poster on our rumours praising Forrest for midweek and today. Not me. One assist for Sammi and two today look great on paper but does not tell the whole story for me. In 180 minutes he has had 4-5 good minutes, enough for praise? The talent is there, we all know that, but not enough seen of it. yet.

Ledley, as usual, Matthews, Wanyama and Wilson were our best I thought. Forster must get a mention for that save but the rest were quite ineffectual. One last thing, it seems Rogne will be on his way. Shame as there looked to be a good centre back in there, so why play him?I would honestly rather see young Fraser in there. Any time I have seen this kid he has let no one down. I think he needs more regular run outs to send a message to players, there are kids at your back so you need to play being my message! Through though!. green jhedi

I can honestly say as of yet iv no confidence at all that this team will win the cup

The second half was very poor from our point of view and I lost count of the terrible first touches of the front players.
I know we are through, but I seriously expect a bit more class from the Bhoys and not so many basic errors causing goals.
Izzy made a boz of it but I do think big Forster dawdles about his area like a dooly when a guy of his size should rule his box; and before you get excited -
I know he comes up with special saves and he kept us in the cup today, but if he would come for more crosses and be more decisive the defenders might not be so hesitant?
Great to see NL sees the same game as the supporters and Stokes and Rogne were rightly hooked for under-performing.
Hope we get back to basics for Juventus and give them a right good game.

@JJ; Get excited mate? I agree with you, it is a major weakness in his game for me. 6ft 6in! anything in the air should be his to a 6-7 yard length from his line. green jhedi

Very harsh on Forrest. Wingers are dependent on supply from their team mates, Which was very poor today. When he had the ball he was nothing short of outstanding, by far Celtics best player. You must remeber the two men he occupies from the opposition, and the outlet his pace provides when under pressure. I for one will be more then happy if he continues this form. Meastro8

I agree a
Maestro. I have been critical of Forrest recently but I thought he was by far our best player today.

The criticism of izzy is over the top. two bad games out of the last 8

Izzy also one of the few to get pass marks in the juve game. leave off. in the end the manager has like wgs learn to turn a game from good to bad.

I don't know, I just feel that recently (pretty much after the Juve game) there seems to be an air of complacency around the Celtic players, no real urgency in their play. I can understand it to an extent due to the league being merely a formality but still, It's becoming frustrating to watch, especially when you know thet team can perform so much better.
