Griffiths would have been hounded on here for that miss at the start.

He was as bored as we were ?

Not acceptable then , he's getting paid a small fortune NOT to be fecking bored and to give his all every time he's out there .

A man who knows he's for the off soon and is not giving a toss half the time.

Don't agree that he wasn't trying. Extremely hard for a striker playing centrally against a midfield and defence content to defend their 18 yard box. Also shown by how little Griffiths was involved other than his goal. Edouard got a little bit more success as he played deeper.

What was frustrating was that in the first half when he was getting into good positions to link up his passing was nowhere near good enough. Was a lack of quality today rather than effort.

Dembele took his foot off the gas after that Motherwell player tried to break his leg (the guy didn't even get booked). He will likely be sold for a hefty fee and go on to be a very good player at a higher level. You can't blame him for protecting himself a bit when playing in a league in which officials allow dangerous challenges to fly in left right and centre

5 in his last 6 games including 2 goals and 2 assists against 2nd and 3rd place in their own pit.

Celtic fans are unbelievable.
You're unbelievable by ignoring what's right in front of you, he has played mostly pish the whole season and yes he hardly looks as if he can be arsed half the time. You can dress that up in stats as much as you like, Sinclair has the best goalscoring and assist stats than any other player this year yet it is widely accepted that he too has been mostly pish this season.

Dembeles performances and all round team play have been unbelievable this season.

Hope he gets the big move he's looking for in the summer as right now he's not giving us 100% although he always receives 100% of his wage!
He has looked disinterested most of the season...thats a bona fide genuine criticism.

Anything else from any of us simply is not the truth.

He has scored and lookedup for it in patches this season. Very good player when on song so frustrating to see him not applying himself as we know he can.

Surely off this summer.

Dembele's performances in the last month or two have been brilliant. :ponder:

It's difficult for our strikers to play on their own up there against teams who are sticking 11 behind the ball.

Dont know about the not trying but just looks uninterested at times...anonymous today as we have seen multiple times this season.

Hard to blame a striker for his performance in a game where we were so laborious and pedestrian in our build up play.
To get the best out of Moussa we need to get crosses in to the box or thread ball through to him, today all we did was play back and across Hamilto.

Absolutely bang on the money. He is paid a effing fortune to play a game we would all kill to play. Time he gets his finger out his arse. 5 goals lately or not he has been poor most of the season when he has played.

If the goals don't matter how do you think Griffiths played in the second half?

I thought goal aside he was pretty much the same as Moussa.

The other players around them aren't doing enough.

Not doing enough for me still looks half arsed at times.

If a half decent offer comes in the summer he's offski.

He did more than Dembele did. Looked more interested.

As for this it's everyone else's fault :ffs: You have said it yourself. He is a big game player. He is more than capable, and should, be getting more involved. A top player demands the ball and goes looking for it to make things happen. He isnt interested unless it's being laid on a plate for him.

Its probably the right time for it too. For us its about investing in the right replacement.

Some of the names linked like Thy and even Eduoard dont get the juices flowing...

This whole 'looking interested' thing is a load of nonsense. Dembele looks the same vs Hamilton away as he does vs PSG away.

Dembele as a player isn't best suited to the way teams are playing against us - that's why his quality shows when we play against teams who don't pack their defence with 10 men. When this does happen the onus is on our wide players to create chances for him - and lets be honest - they aren't doing it.

Dembele did. Particularly in the first half and either his touch or his passing wasn't up to scratch. He played poorly and wasn't involved as much in the second half as Hamilton flooded the centre of the park and restricted any space that our central players could get which also affected Griffiths. Griffiths really wasn't any more involved than Dembele though he done well for his goal.

Dunno, mate. I'm not saying it's great, just how it looks to me. I do reckon he's quite highly rated and will get a high transfer fee.
