Any one think we should give Derek a chance up front he had a good goal scoring record and I can remember when he came to us they said he can play up top?
Kenny

I just hope he starts if his ankle is better, he has goals, good plays and crosses in him

Commonwealth games are July 23 - Aug 03 so only 21 days without stadium. Eight months to build the Parkhead gateway and landscape improvements is plenty time.

Paranoid on so many levels it's unbelievable. Just cause there's a dozen guys sit in the House of Lords, in this cold weather, in their Celtic scarfs. Don't even mention the House of Commons, he'll go off on one.

Didnt the house of commons get broke into on saturday night

with the delay regarding joe ledleys contract extension. I would like us to go for stuart armstrong from dundee utd.
really like the look of the lad, he also looks a creative player we lack.
as he is scottish we don't need to worry about him settling into the country.
also good to keep some money circulating in the spfl

Our strikers are atrocious. They have been atrocious all season. Any they will continue to be atrocious because they simply aren't good enough. End of.

Bah humbug again from chrisbhoy yes the strikers are not performing but at least the goals are coming from elsewhere . Hopefully this will take the pressure off the strikers and fingers crossed they will start banging the goals in! stay positive m8 lifes not that bad martybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully they start performing soon then because they can't keep going like this and expect to stay in the team. Am sure we would all love pukki to turn up in a game but he just ain't.
Nearly turn of the year who is top goalscorer with how many, commons has 6 in league kinda says it all.

@chrisbhoy, I think we may have scored more and lost the same as last reason uptill now, might be wrong i'm more concerned about our lack of noise and passion on matchdays, if more of us put as much effort in our singing as we do on all the blogs paradise would be rocking , Aberdeens support in the decibel department was a credit to them, pity they went over the score with the lyrics, maybe i've just realised why we are as quiet, our repitiore of songs is limited now . ah do'nt know but somethings missing, what's your feeling on it guys . evnin Ed007.

Agree0 Disagree0

Granted the forwards don't seem to be getting a massive amount of goals but could some of the blame not be put firmly at the managers door?
Does he really know his best formation? Does he know his forwards strengths?
Does the style of football played suit the forwards?
Pukki has decent movement (outside the box at times) but the ball doesn't get to him quickly enough.
When playing with two wingers is stokes really going to win his share of headers?
When playing one up does stokes have the touch or the speed/ power to play that role
I'm not saying we should lump the ball up to balde to knock down to Pukki/ stokes but surely we need to start playing to these guys strengths and give them a decent chance to show us what they can do, and what made us buy them in the first place

@4 I totally agree mate. playing one up top is by no means the answer and especially in the spl. I would like to see us go out against milan with balde and derk up top. power and pace cause if we don't play two up I feel we have no chance unless commons pops up again with a goal
it wouldn't matter if we had pele and maradona up front at times anyway the service most of the time is non existent to none
change it up a bit lenny!

on a brighter note glad to see fisher making inroads in to the team. good strong runner and not scared of the physical side of things

Agree0 Disagree0

@1) martybhoy, you can say what you like mate. I'm simply stating facts and if you want to look at our striking power through rose tinted glasses then that's fine.
If our midfielders/wide players are weighing in with occasional or even regular goals then that should be the icing on the cake, not a necessity for us to get through games.

Its now official Teemu Pukey is a waste of space. Move him on in jan he's one of the worst attacking players I've seen in 30years at celtic park, honestly taking into account we paid money for him and also he was to replace our top scorer of the last few years. Understand the "let him settle" brigade but he's just not got it settled or not.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Goals from winger and midfielder. No goals again from a striker. Been like that for ages. And late, very late. Looks like we're relying on Commons to be the striker. The club must use this window to put this problem right.

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks that way not been impressed with him at all, would imagine he'll get up till the window then we'll only se him as a sub or when players need a rest. Who's gony want to buy him from us if he can't cut it in Scotland.
This could also have been the case if we spent 5m on a player like Finbogason there is still no gaurentee he would have been a sucsess. Maybe this is a reason the board are reluctant to spend big. A 2m flop we could live with but a 5m flop would be harder

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats what happens when our boss ain't backed and has to settle for 5th/6th choice. Back the boss or sack the board

Agree0 Disagree0

Shocking result only to win 3-1 to remain unbeaten in league 13/14

sack everyone

Worst in 30 year are you on drugs Wayne biggins tony cassercarino to name only two the boy not great but it early days Ffs

Eh Adam Virgo anyone?

MgC

Agree0 Disagree0

@5 andrew i'll give you cascarino as he did cost decent money 1.1M but biggins cost pennies. No! No drugs bud, you?
@6 virgo was a defender, who(if in an emergency)could be thrown up front. A bit like vega, varga and van dijk, but was signed as a defender. {Ed007's Note - And at least we got Tom Boyd in exchange for Cascarino.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats right ed007,, your a wee clever clogs now aren't you? {Ed007's Note - It was the only good part of the entire deal.}

@6 Rafael schiedt defender ( I use the term loosely ) but what a waste

Agree0 Disagree0

OK we are unbeaten but that was a minute away from a draw (or even a defeat if it wasn't for Forster's save).
Our forwards are not creating and scoring enough every week and the team is not playing good attacking football because we do not have enough quality/creativity full stop.
Balde and Pukki have had months to prove me wrong and they have failed.
Izzy is our best wide player and that tells a story and while we still cannot keep clean sheets in most games we almost certainly need to score 2 or 3 to get a result.
It's good the team fight to the last as all good Celtic teams have done, but we could make things a lot easier if we had a proven striker a creative mid and a defensive left back.

JJ

Agree0 Disagree0

@11 "balde and pukki have had months to prove me wrong" what? How many minutes has balde had?

Agree0 Disagree0

Re Balde: The manger refuses to play him in the SPL so he obviously does not think he can cut it at the basic levels and in what little time he has played - he is clumsy and basically rank rotten.
Definitely not the standard the fans expect or deserve for the price or the money they pay to watch the team.
