Did you have to drop your voice an octave to join in DRA67?!

After watching last night, I have come to the conclusion that Mikey J is a greedy, selfish little s--, The coaching staff need to seriously take him in hand, show him how to lift his head, how and when to pass, get him in the gym and bulk him up, show him how hold the ball up.
He is a talent, a good dribbler with no direction. We need contributors, not headless chickens.

He will mature into a good player.
It shows he has confidence in his own ability and that he is taking on the responsibility of playing for such a massive club.
Most young players get stage fright and are too scared to show what they can really do. I am happy with his progress and I believe he will eventually be another James Forrest.

Leon your talking like he's some wee bhoy of 15 or 16. he's 21 in April.

Malika20 been saying for sometime now that Johnston is not a team player he wants to do it all himself. You are correct the coaching staff need to have a word with him that it is a team game and that he is not Messi.

13 Dec 2019 12:17:22
Bit like DiCanio, the only player he could pass to in the team was himself.

13 Dec 2019 12:19:57
I know your not his biggest fan Kev but I think we have another Forrest on our hands. Their Celtic paths, have so far been very similar, breaking into the first team at 18 and they both have had their progression hindered by niggling injuries early in their Celtic careers.
They are both very direct and with good coaching Johnston could be a star. 🙏.

I think he has been taking lessons from Forrest on how to be a ball greedy wee rubbish.

13 Dec 2019 14:49:25
It a about opinions but if we can't make a player out of him with that ability then we have a problem.

13 Dec 2019 16:09:48
Said that a while ago about Johnston. Stop being so greedy simple pass he's got somthing about him
Its up to him and lenny and our captain to show him a better way.

13 Dec 2019 19:44:30
21yr old that's played about 15 full games for first team. He will come good.

13 Dec 2019 23:55:13
He can't run with the ball he has to learn that quickly. He kicks the ball 3or 4 yards in front of him and defenders just lap it up if you watch the Cluj game you will see it every time he had to run with the ball easy pickings. He has good close control from a standing position.

Some nonsense on here
Give mikey time and a decent run - some people slagging him off probably did the same with Forrest
As for Morgan he may not be able to step up but at least the manager is giving him run. Time will tell
Sinky - great 1st season and some great memories but his time is over - he’s had plenty of chances but doesn’t look like the same player.

Brilliant management by lenny last night full team rested couple of young players blooded especially young Robertson who on that showing could be a real find and we played ok. puzzler for me is griff who had a good game led the line well where was he Sun surely a better option than Morgan.

13 Dec 2019 10:33:35
mally, the manager explained why grifiths had to be left out on sunday and with the result he was right. i agree with you a half fit griff is better than a full fit morgan. but looking forward we are in a great place. hail hail.

13 Dec 2019 11:31:21
Anno mate but he could have started griff as he had eddy on bench What s the difference he was using Morgan as a striker.

Robroy67,

C'mon the dugs in the street know we got lucky against the zombies. He wasn't right playing Morgan before Griffiths.

13 Dec 2019 23:38:50
DRA1967 were is the league cup right now? sure we got lucky but the fact we have it shows lennon was right. or do you want to hand it back to them.

14 Dec 2019 11:35:40
Robroy67,
I wouldn't give them the steam of my mince pie. Watched them nick games they shouldn't have won that's football sometimes.
As picking Morgan before Griffiths wasn't the correct choice. The boy is a poor winger never mind a forward. There whole defence got to push up due to the fact Morgan was so ineffective. Over running the midfield. Never happened as much when Eddie came on. That and slippys tactics.

12 Dec 2019 22:36:22
Sinclair, Benyu, Kouasi, Hendry, Morgan, see ya.

13 Dec 2019 08:33:59
Add Gordon and Bayo to your list.

13 Dec 2019 09:43:17
Can't watch Celtic without wanting the best for them. Ntcham, Johnson and Griffiths were only 3 that looked like football player. Defence was brutal. How much money do these fringe players cost us.

13 Dec 2019 11:47:36
Defence of Julien Bauer Biton and Boli then Ajer for Julien. Hardly fringe?

13 Dec 2019 09:28:02
Can't really blame Sinclair as he has been ignored and omitted all season and must feel a wee bit resentful after all he has done? However I can understand NL wanting to build his own team, with it's own style and obviously does not see Sinclair in his plans at all. What I don't get is what he sees in Lewis Morgan?
Money can easily be raised for better players if he was sold or the wages freed-up along with the other guys mentioned by Chinks and Pud,

Kwaj,
The defence were brutal. Bauer and Bitton fringe. Big Julian had a bad night. Boli just back so will leave him.
