West Ham cutting them to ribbons

Spart7 said:
Watched the whole game. They started with what will very likely be their first 11 in Europe, whu were missing 6 first picks due to euros, including Rice, but still fielded a strong team. Going forward they looked ok at times, particularly on the break, and it was pretty even first 10mins. They pressed high and the young Israeli was constantly in acres of space down the right and threatened until it came to his final ball, which was woeful. Their first came from good pressing/a defensive mistake, and was a good finish. Moyes tightened up on the wings and Abada disappeared out the game from 20mins onwards.

Christie, out of contract come xmas, was by a country mile the best Celtic player on show but even his goal was a keeper error as hit virtually straight at him and he flapped and palmed it in. Edouard missed 2 absolute sitters but held the ball and linked the attacks very well, they will really miss that when he's gone as none of their other strikers have that in their game. Turnbull was non existent the entire time he was on the pitch and other than his goal mcgregor contributed little. Soro was the best of their 3 midfielders, which isn't saying much given how poor their other 2 were and he also conceded the penalty with a stupid challenge from behind.

Barkas actually made 2 very good saves before whu scored their equaliser and another good save later in the 1st half too but his positioning was woeful for the 2nd he conceded. The entire back 4 were unbelievably poor and defensively incredibly naive. Cut open again and again and caught out with balls in behind countless times. Any teams with genuine pace up front will murder them.

West Ham could, and should, have scored 10+ as they also squandered 4 clear 1 on 1's with the keepers. Had a good laugh at the subliminal message Ange sent to the GFITW by making all his subs on the 56th minute of the match and at the level of abuse directed at Griffiths. Their new signings that played, Abada started brightly and looked a threat then vanished for the rest of the match, the 2 young guys from Sheffield Wednesday were woeful, particularly the defender and it was telling that the youth player (Murray?) started the match ahead of him. All in all a thoroughly amusing watch. :)

Murray is 100% a bluenose as is his family. Hope he gets a move south soon.

West Ham would have ran these disgusting vermin ragged.

What a vile club, genuinely disgusting.

Peado FC...families still waiting on justice.
 
When large Ange arrived, I felt a bit sorry for him. He seemed like a decent enough bloke that didn’t really know what he got himself into.

Turns out he is a disgusting nonce enabler that fits right in at that club. Griffiths should have left their training ground with a black eye the day that news came out but he’s been given support.

Hopefully the likes of Dolly and Hibs will take note.

All good to hear :D

I’ve seen it a few times that Christie is out of context in January. That’s a bit unusual isn’t it? Is that accurate?

Your post is hopefully an insight as to what lies ahead.

What we have to remember is that there are not going to be as many incisive passes ripping them from many Scottish opponents.

I think you might be doing some of the other Scottish teams a disservice.

if they don’t add significantly better players to their defence and other areas to be fair I fancy a few of the teams up here to take points from them.

goal keeper and current back four are miles off the quality they need to try and compete with us.

Tbh, watching that today it reminded me a lot of Warburton's season in the premiership. Some days it will work, others it'll fall apart. It's fine playing all out attack against far inferior players in a division below but once he came up against organised, physical defences set up on the counter it just didn't work often enough. He wouldn't change tactics and we didn't have the quality in the squad to always score more than the opposition. They are being asked to play even more expansively than Warburton did and are so exposed middle to back it's actually unbelievable. In this window they will have to get in 5 or 6 genuine quality players to have enough to even be a threat to us imo. If we play them in the style we play European matches then that scoreline today could be easily repeated as on the break and/or balls in behind and they are struggling to cope big time.
 
This is from The Record tonight:

Leigh Griffiths set Celtic fan turnaround challenge as Ange Postecoglou reacts to Parkhead jeers

“Ange Postecoglou says it’s up to Leigh Griffiths to win back the trust of the Celtic fans.”



What the hell is going on here? Am I taking crazy pills? HE ASKED A CHILD FOR PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOS. HOW THE HELL DO YOU TURN THAT AROUND? HE IS A PREDATOR AND SHOULD BE IN PRISON.

What has happened to this country?

Yeah, he is free to talk to other clubs just now. I can't see him still being there once the window shuts and if he has something sorted but the clubs can't agree on a fee for him to go early then I can really see him downing tools until Xmas as he won't want injured. Win, win either way as he has been by far their best player so far.

Basically a job interview for Christie today.
 
Erm, ok what’s this about?

Who is this Abada fella they're pinning all their hopes on?

Young Israeli winger. Going by his analytics, posted on another thread the other day, he is a decent finisher but apparently a poor dribbler and crosser of the ball. Given freedom to play he looked dangerous, going by today, but in the same way Frimpong looked dangerous. In other words looked good in flashes but zero end product. He also didn't appear to have overly high workrate today either.
 
You hear it said that results in friendlies don't really matter - unless you get a tanking.



Well, that's a tanking!
 
I hadn’t heard of the assault on the girlfriend but Google threw up a tasty little sound bite from his old man


[Officers interviewed him on Thursday night. They also spoke to Elizabeth at her home.

When we tried to speak to McGregor, dad Matthew said: "We don't want to talk to you. There better not be a story in the newspaper."]
 
Celtc are in a rather invidious position with him.

They can't sack him as he wasn't charged (huge difference than being found innocent as some tinks are saying).

They can't play him as he'll cause riots in his own crowd and the opposition fans ,at every club, will hound him.

They can't sell him as no club will want to be associated with a nonce.


All they can do is keep him in the books until his contract is up.

I doubt it.

n recent times, Dundee Utd allowed their two strongest players to go them before a cup final.

Compare and contrast the same club's attitude when we wanted Duncan Ferguson?

I'll be astounded if any Scottish club goes the whole hog with this mob regards transfers.
