Just a thought but is there any chance that we start with Scales at LB.
Now my thinking is that the size of the YB team and especially the forwards are well over 6ft.
If the play the long diagonal ball to the back post, we could be in real trouble tonight.

I still think Taylor will start but I just hope he doesn't have a nightmare like he has done a few times this season.

For some unknown reason, some Celtic fans have said that Taylor has had nightmares regularly ever since we signed him . From time to time it appears that only our Managers, Ange and BR seem to appreciate how well Taylor has served us since we signed him . If YB’s do try play the long diagonal ball to the back post, it is the responsibility of our players playing on the right hand side of our defence and midfield RHS to prevent them from doing so .
That’s an example of what a team game is about, Celtic seek to prevent opponents working on a perceived weakness in our set-up and at the same time exploit a weaknesss.

I don’t think BR will have any sleepless night over G T inability to defend his side of defence from long diagonal high balls to a taller opponent . Two of our best managers over nearly 20 yrs have had complete faith in G T . I hope tonight is no different . If BR has worries about GT been not capable of handling long diagonal balls into his defensive area Brendan will take action for players on our right side to prevent YBs from sending these long diagonal balls into GT area .
Usually if a Celtic is going to win, it has to prevent opponents from playing game to their strengths and thus tonight we should be pressing high and preventing GT having trouble from these long diagonal balls.

He had a nightmare against Rangers in the cup final and at Ibrox.
He set up there first and we could have been 2 down due to him.
He constantly loses the ball in midfield and doesn't have the speed to get back but for some reason Trusty got the blame.
There has been countless other times he nearly cost us but fortunately the teams weren't good enough to punish us.

Johnbhoy you’d be struggling to find anyone who had a good game at IPox, our midfield were all rank rotten especially Hatate and CalMac, no one was showing to take the ball from Taylor. To blame Taylor alone is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone remembers every single mistake he makes but never gives credit for the goals he creates or his pressing like for our second goal v RB L. Kyoto’s sitters this season have been brutal and the midfield tonight really need to up their game.

Scales is terrible at left back, his best position is at centre back, but he is a level below Trusty there.

Jonbhoy You probably are correct for blaming him for first goal in L C F, but you should equally gave him some praise for scoring our first goal in that match .
We should be fair and impartial towards all our players.
If we took a very critical look at most of our back 4 players we may find that they have been responsible for goals we have conceded.
I keep remembering that in Ange and BR we have had two managers who lived for and for most part achieved positive results. I cannot see or understand why either of these men would go out of their way to handicap themselves by persisting in G Taylor as LB If he is as bad as some tell us, we should be able to replace him by signing a fullback at very little money and expecting very small wage, he would suit our Board down to the ground .

TTT1 I think if you look at my past posts you will see that I have said on numerous occasions that it was time we sold Kyogo due to the amount of sitters he misses, I've also mentioned that Hatate needs benched as he only seems to have a good 30mins coming off the bench.

I wouldn't be as hard on Taylor IF he played as a LB.
How many times has he lost the ball thinking he is a RW.

22 Jan 2025 19:58:38
Jonbhoy . I am sure G T is following the direction and tactics of his manager . Other complain about him inverting into midfield. He only does both or either these things because he is following instructions and encouragement by BR.
