Our stats from the wide players this season is a huge concern.
The Tounekti final ball is poor for the amount of times he runs at the defence.
It's also a concern how easy the full Celtic team get turned over when he loses the ball.
I would like to see him on the right hand side because the lad hasn't a left foot and can't cross a ball.
Tounekti has played 17 times for Celtic and has Zero assists.
Yang has played 10 times this season and has his usual Zero assists.
Balikwisha has played 12 times and has 2 assists.
Usually Mr Assists James Forrest has played 17 times this season and has Zero assists.
Maeda has a couple of assists to his name.
Nygren has a decent record with 11 goals and assists this season ( 6 goals + 5 assists )
It looks like we need to limp along to the January window and pray that we sign one or two wingers who can set up a few goals.

Wow . . . literally couldn't do worse if we tried.

The boy from last week showed him how it's done as soon as he got inside ralston he let fly and tounekti doesn't do that enough, khun was good at it as well.

I thought Tounetki would be dynamite after a great start, but he flatters to deceive as you say with a poor final ball, and only a couple of goals considering the amount of play we concentrate down the left. Nygren for me - although he needs several chances to score - creates more than most and that reflects badly on the others.
We have amassed a squad with quite a few nearly, but not quite Celtic class players, over the past few seasons along with some who will never be good enough. Leaving, whoever the next manager will be, a real job on his hands between injuries and what we urgently and who will be leaving. It's a worry for me.

I think switching Tounetki and Maeda would improve things. Certainly worth a try as couldn't be any worse!
12 Nov 2025 10:31:38
At this time nygren is not good enough Hope he improves but he's a bench player for me.
12 Nov 2025 10:59:25
The problem is your taking goals and assists out the team if we bench Nygren.
12 Nov 2025 11:34:26
Yeah, I meant to add that MIB. Maeda made his name on the left wing and although he has been well below par for obvious reasons, switching him back there may benefit the team.

Nygren misses too many sitters.

Mikey tounekti needs to up his game, too often holding ball for too long, too often not taking opportunities to shoot and too often no end product,
12 Nov 2025 14:49:01
100 % I like him but he needs to improve his finished product hopefully maloney is on his case.

Great points again, Buzz. I'd take Tounekti's first few months over Kuhn's first few months though. Hopefully with a bit of managerial stability and focus we can get a lot more out of him and maybe a few others.
