I'd say when everyone's fit he's starting, but we don't really have many guaranteed starters outside of McGregor, Goldson, Tav, Davis and Morelos.An Aribo who isn’t a guaranteed starter today,

Very underrated player.Edu put in performances in the champions league against Manchester United at Old Trafford and Valencia at Ibrox that Jack and Aribo can only dream of.
It's flawed logic to dictate that better teams win trophies 100% of the time, and it ignores the fact that football is inherently unpredictable, particularly when it comes to knock-out cup competitions.
2 points clear and this team is suddenly super human .
Last Friday morning they were all pish!
I love FF. This current team need to win trophies for any comparison to the past.
Edu wouldn't have been anywhere near first 11 if Walter had a Jack in his squad.Edu put in performances in the champions league against Manchester United at Old Trafford and Valencia at Ibrox that Jack and Aribo can only dream of.
Individually that 10/11 team wasn't incredible but it was how they played to their strengths together that worked so well as a team. The same way some old Fergie sides had average players dominating superstars, I think that's why guys like Alfie, Tav and Jack would get in that team (possibly Kent as well because we never had much out left after DMB left)
Doesn’t make them better players in any way.It's not flawed fact though that one set of them have won trophies and the other ones haven't.
I'm not saying better teams win all the time. It's clear that those players, what ever we thought of them, could win things though.
So if we agree that better teams do not win all of the trophies all of the time, it's possible, or even probable, that we have had some teams that didn't win a trophy that are better than teams that did.It's not flawed fact though that one set of them have won trophies and the other ones haven't.

People always underplay the factor that luck has in trophy wins. It's huge.
Personally, I think this side is better than 10/11. And it's a whole lot better than 11/12.
Doesn’t make them better players in any way.
For example, was the team of 67 to 69 better than that of 1970?
No he never.Edu put in performances in the champions league against Manchester United at Old Trafford and Valencia at Ibrox that Jack and Aribo can only dream of.
The wonder of FF for you,go from one extreme to another.2 points clear and this team is suddenly super human .

If you want to talk about individual players, then even better. That 2010/11 side had some very agricultural players.What you're talking about in that first sentence isn't the point of this thread. We're talking about individual players.
Using your logic, given this Celtic side is worse than their 2011 one, you'll be sticking the mortgage on us winning the league then?
We went behind a fair few times in that run too and came back to win.That 2010/11 season started out brilliantly in the league. We didn't drop a single point until the 30th October (draw at home v ICT).
Included a 3-1 away win at Parkhead and a 4-0 home win v Dundee United.
First loss came 10th November home to Hibs. Total of five losses during the season (Hibs (H), Celtic (H), Hearts (A), Celtic (A), Dundee United (H) ) and three draws (Inverness (H), Celtic (H), Inverness (A) )
If you want to talk about individual players, then even better. That 2010/11 side had some very agricultural players.
I would strongly contest that this Celtic side is much better than their 2011 one. The wage bill reflects that too.
No he never.
He certainly didn't at Stoke either!
Come on. We pumped Hamilton 5-0We were shite last Thursday now being compared to a team that won 3IAR
Madness on here
He was adequate.No he never what? He was very good in both those games.
I don't really remember Edu being a regular starter either. Certainly neither of those were capable of filling the void left by the immense Kevin Thomson leaving. Seemed to work ok though.An Aribo who isn’t a guaranteed starter today,
