Ryan Christie is the most creative player Celtic have, he missed a few and the keeper made a few fantastic saves from him yesterday but they were all chances more or less created by himself.
If not for him we wouldn’t be creating half the chances we are, he was the best player on the pitch at Tannadice by a mile and his level of performance is consistently in our top 3 week on week.
Get Christie signed up on a decent new deal before someone in England turns his head. He could replace Mata at Manchester United as he certainly has the vision and technical ability.
Celtic can’t afford to start with Broony, Ntcham and Cal Mac they simply aren’t creative enough or quick enough to trouble teams and all three sit too deep when we could use an extra body going forward. I was glad to see Forrest dropped and it’s not before time.
Neil Lennon has his favourites and he seems to be one of them, Cal Mac and Broony are the others who continually retain their place after 6/10 performances. Don’t give me passing stats from those guys either, most of those passes are sideways or back and even those forward passes come from teams sitting off us so giving the 3 plenty of time to see the pass. We need a winger with pace who’s not afraid to run defenders Forrest doesn’t have that now.
Why did Neil Lennon substitute Moi Elyounoussi for James Forrest when he could have taken one of the seven defensive players off (given Dundee Utd never had much of a goal threat)? Lenny could have added a goal-scoring threat rather than a like-for-like change.
Does anyone else think Ten-in-a-Row is in danger unless Peter Lawwell gets the cheque book out for another central defender, winger, left-back cover and striker if Eddie or Griff are either sold or continuously injured? Why not buy Ivan Toney from Posh, he really is decent and wants to come?
