Without Brown. Mulgrew loses the ball too much but Victor is out best defender.... And midfielder. Kayal and Wilson doing well. They are just denying us a chance to get a bit if luck.
Sloppy sloppy goal. Fraser Gerard Forster should have done better though he had to react instinctively - and where were his defenders ... a stupid goal to give away. Too many Celtic players too slow on the ball at the moment - both Gary Hooper and Kristian Arran Commons could and should have had a few more shots on goal first half but taking too many touches ... maybe saving themselves for their visit to Ross County?
Emilio Arturo Izaguirre Girón, ball watching, yes - but he wasn't the only one. Kelvin James Wilson the only one with pass marks tonight so far - other than Victor Mugabe Wanyama when he was on.
I wonder why the Commandant got sent on and not St Okes? Big wee wee hasn't been seen for a while and he jumps the queue.
I knew you 6-0 forecasters would jinx things. Aggregate, maybe but you very nearly got there - unfortunately for the wrong team ... maybe you weren't clear enough? I don't know about the rest of you but I'm very disappointed with that Celtic performance. We weren't totally outclassed by any means but the Juventus defence will be hard put to have a more comfortable time of it. At least we should now be completely debt free - an excellent campaign overall.
Kayal rarely does the full 90. I think he's done fairly well. Joe couldn't get beyond that defence which was great. Sammy showed how well he can operate at this level. Wilson was head and shoulders our stand out performer imo. Loads of lessons learned. I can see how effective it is but I wonder how we would react to giving up so much possession to opposition that ain't as good as us. A different mindset at play.
ach well, wasnt to be. They were very good and cleverer than us, the tie was already over from the first leg. You`d think a rich team like juventus would have a decent pitch though.
Outclassed.... Probably not. Outsmarted. Definitely. Not that this is a criticism of Lennon. I am not sure we have anything in our arsenal to really get at a team like that. They posed a unique conundrum that not so many teams can. Big George is speaking really well. Accentuate the positives. I like that.
I have been watching a fair few of the Juve games, since the draw was made, and i can say that often Juve`s defence make it look easier than it is. There is no denying they are a top class outfit and could go all the way in this.
I don't think any team can match Italian defending and counter-attacking play at it's best - soaking up pressure with seeming ease and then breaking quickly and finishing clinically. I felt tonight, however, that we could and should have had a couple of goals - the opportunities were clearly there. In any case, if Juventus do happen to win the tournament, then being put out by them won't seem so bad!
Well, on a lighter note, I couldn't disappoint you - don't mess with Mr Inbetween ... [video=youtube;fZUmAbi0Vm4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZUmAbi0Vm4[/video]
