Looks overweight and needs to get back to match sharpness. Had a long-ish injury so will take a few games.
Overweight? :rubeyes: I actually think he looks trimmer and more toned than last season.

I was watching on a pretty dodgy stream on my phone but he looked to be carrying a few extra pounds to me.

His career at Celtic so far has always been a bit streaky. He has a few bad games every now and again due to his age and inexperience, the injury and lack of match sharpness won't have helped either. When he's at his best though he's excellent so hopefully he'll be at that level sooner rather than later.

The lad looks fine. Just taking a wee while to get up to speed. Not helped by the way Linfield defended. A lot of our stuff just got bogged down in a sea of bodies in the middle of the 18 yard line.

Look at all our goals from the tie. Two set piece goals, a long ranger and three strikes after the ball deflected about the box. Linfield wanted to avoid a humping so defended their box in numbers. Not easy for any striker.

Paddy and KT agreed he was the worse trainer if I remember correctly, might be the reason he seems to take a bit to get up to speed.

Like last year, he'll come good. Very good.

Definitely carrying a few extra pounds, he'll shift it with more game time though.

I thought he came more onto a game towards the end with some decent link up play. Linfield seemed to have the box clogged up with players so he just couldn't get the ball as much.

I think he plays better when teams are coming at us a bit more and he gets a good run at the defence.

deja vu on this thread from last summer it seems. If he stays he'll hit 20 plus again no problem for the season

nothing really to see here. Young player getting fitness back looks a bit sluggish.

His first and second touches for the chance he skewed wide ( really wide) in the first half were sublime, and his strength in holding the thugs off became more apparent as the game wore on. Started snatching at half chances for a goal, but what forward doesn't do that?

He'll be awesome again soon.

Not sure he will be carrying a few more pounds. The way BR and his backroom team seem to go about things - I reckon this is meticulously monitored and if they felt he was carrying too much I doubt he would have played. Given he played, I'm taking it that the coaches are happy with his physical condition.

He's young, its game 1 of the season for him, against a team who had 10 men defending in their own third of the pitch. His role was to probably occupy 2/3 defenders to create space elsewhere.

I don't think his carrying extra body fat. That's not acceptable and I don't think he would be playing if that was the case.

BR won't tolerate body fat above 10%, and won't look at new players unless they fit in with this.

That's what I am saying. I don't think he's carrying 'more weight' - contrary to what some seem to think.

Down to the fact that if BR and his team felt he was carrying extra weight he probably wouldn't have played.

But the experts on here said Dembeles overweight?

He may not be overweight. He certainly looked a little heavy to me. Would he really not have played though? We had no other strikers.

Likewise. Carrying a few more pounds than he should've been.
