Then you either drop Dembele, who is quite likely to be our most valuable player in a year or two if he isn't already, or you drop a FORTY goal a season striker, or you shunt one of them off to the wing to be a square peg in a round hole instead of playing Sinclair/ Roberts/Forrest. Which do you prefer? |

Only 3 of Griffiths, Dembele, Roberts, Forrest and Sinclair will play every game otherwise that puts Rogic's role in doubt and he shouldn't be dropped. Brendan seems to like playing him as a 10. They will all get game time over the course of a long season and it's a happy debate to be having. |

It is nonsense though. "absolutely"? So, regardless of form, results, goals scored while playing with one centre forward, you would just say "right lads. It's an spl game so Griffiths and Dembele must play" If you've watched us this season and want to change to a 4-4-2 now you are smoking crack my friend. |

I'd prefer to trust our manager to make the right decisions on the best team available. Arguing over two up front or 1 up front is a bit pointless given we just humped the huns with one striker. |

Or we rotate them based on fitness, sharpness or tactics? I'd rather Dembélé up front against Barça (injury to Griffiths aside), for example. We'll have little of the ball so when we do have it, it'll stick better with him. It's a long season and we'll play over 60 games. Having two good, relatively fresh strikers isn't a bad thing. |

If Dembele is scoring the same number of goals as Griffiths it's not really a concern. I'm not sure that we need to worry too much about making a tactical switch after yesterday. Same with Roberts, Forrest and Sinclair. You could decide some plan to play all three. Or play two of them and won convincingly anyway |

Whichever one is likely to win us the next match. That's the only thing that should be considered. Doesn't matter if LG scored 40 last season or if Dembele will be worth £37m in two years, or if people think 2 strikers is a better than a 4-4-3. The manager sets the team up to give us the best chance of winning the game in front of us. We'll play more than enough games for everyone to get a decent run anyway. As is currently being shown with Dembele, given that he's effectively a squad player. |

No system is better than 4-4-3, provided that we can get away with it. |

A perfect effing hattrick. Like it was nothing. What an absolute joy to watch. I knew he was good but had no idea he'd tear it up like this. Does he have a song? At the bar we were forced into Sports Default Mode and sang his name to the tune of that White Stripes song. |

Juts before the first goal the common consensus in the pub yesterday was that the game was passing him by and he looked a little lost. I'll stick to drinking beer and let Rodgers manage Celtic I think. |

As i said weeks ago when a lot of guys on here were slating him guys like Zidane do not say a player is very good unless they are very good, he is young and seems to have his head screwed on, a player that doesnt care about money, a player that wants to win things and play at a big club, a player that wants to experience everything in football.....i dont know what if any clauses will be in his contract but this guy could (could mind) be as big a player for us a larsson, if we can keep him for a good few years and he keeps developing and still thrives on being at Celtic.....if we are in the group stages every year, winning trophies etc etc then why would he want to leave ? and if he did we could get some serious money for him, unless there is a clause in his contract we do not know about.He seems to have real confidence and ability and thrives on pressure, not many players have that in their game and again it is why i compare him to larsson, i am really looking forward to watching this young guy develop and hopefully become a real Celtic legend. *let the slating begin because i compared him to larsson but before you start i am not saying he is as good, i am saying he could be and he seems to have the same attitude etc. |
