The thing that gets me is how our forwards aren't scoring goals - Kyogo's first season and Idah's last season they were racking them in. So why not this season?
Is it the way we play? We're supposed to have a decent midfield so why are they not providing the front line?
How many other players have regressed since they joined us? I'd reckon Hatate, Bernardo, Palma and Yang to name but four.

The last few years must be the most frustrating ever to be a Celtic striker. Nothing goes into the box first time, no one even shoots anymore, wingers for whatever reason never get to the line and turn defenders, they prefer to turn inside or constantly play backward passes. If we get a new winger I hope he’s a greedy barsteward coz at least he’ll be taking on the opposition and not forever passing the buck. No point in changing personnel if they offer nothing different.
Aside from the RB game, I can’t really see any improvement. Still grinding out results but are we getting any better?

Kyogo is a great football player but misses too many chances . troy
would 442 work nowadays against out and out defensive set ups with packed midfields? . Idah I think is average. chas I know where you coming from but winning is the bottom line.

Chasaboy - Spot on, was reflecting on the same today, are we getting better? Some better players came in but I thought our level of play would be much improved by now.
We are becoming ponderous and predictable. Opposition knows what to expect. Sevco stifled our wingers, cut off the supply and whacked them asap. Kyogo must get so frustrated. Note how often our players receive a pass with their back to opposition goal, they can't turn, ball goes back. With our talent we really should blow all the rest away in SPL.

We still won 3 nil, regardless of how frustrating it can be at times, widemen not beating a man down the wing to provide for the striker, midfield not going on mazy runs through on goal, it's just how many teams play now, the points on the board are proof in the pudding it works.

We are often worried about our midfield under pressure this season . BR tries to help out midfield by having our full backs moving inside to help to boast up our midfield.
He is hardly likely to regularly go two up front as that would mean that he would be replacing a midfielder with a player up front .
In my opinion BR encourages both wingers and at least one midfielder to make their way into the box . In fact many of our goals are scored by Khun and Maeda getting into area.

I would always keep Kyogo on the field, he might miss a barrow load of chances but he will score some because he always gets himself into goal scoring positions more often than a player like Idah does.
