Great goal tonight but was in no way the difference made out by tv pundits. Ntcham, Brown, Forrest and Sinclair playes as big a part, if not bigger, in the teams performance in the second half. |

I'm not sure what's going on with Moussa, whether he's downed tools, had his head turned, struggling with fitness, I've no idea but if he goes we should be very very grateful we have Griffiths. I agree he's not world class but he's head and shoulders above SP level, and what would we have to pay to get someone else in who would guarantee goals for us like he provides? of course he has faults nearly all player do, but for me his positives far far outweigh his negatives and that makes him a good player for us.

You could count on your thumbs the amount of top centre halfs Griffiths has given the run around. There is nothing really to suggest he can make the difference at CL level other than a tap in vs Anderlecht.

This in a nutshell. . Come on this thread and moan about him when he has a bad game. He deserves only but praise tonight for winning us that game. You just look bitter and petty with your negative comments. |

What about his miss from 5 yards out vs Kilmarnock at home that cost us 2 points? Or his miss vs Motherwell from 5 yards out that cost us 2 points? Or do we just forget about that because he got the winner tonight? Griffiths has been praised by me, Remy and pretty much everyone else on the thread. We are all happy we got the 3 points but it doesnt mean you cant discuss his overall performance. EDIT Just to say I brought up the misses in my first point to show that he isnt going to score every week - thats why its important to discuss the other aspects of his game that actually matter as well.

Why are you talking about games gone past I’m sure you had your rant then. Tonight He won us the game with his overall performance and you are being petty focusing on small things like being greedy. A top striker being greedy well I never,. |

He did. He still missed an open goal from 5 yards at 1-1. People moaning about me bringing up games in which his misses have cost us despite being challenged to do so.

I'm assuming Hartson and Sutton are discounted because they played with Larsson. Other than Dembele and a holidaying Robbie Keane only McDonald would be close to LG in my opinion. Although I appreciate that might say more about our level of striker. I've read that wrong. And he certainly isn't better than PVH Cadete Sutton or Hartson.

Lg is better than Hooper in my opinion. More likely to get a goal from nothing and works harder. |

Scraping the barrel and embarrassing yourself , not a striker in the world that doesn’t miss chances. Go micro analyse them , there will be countless examples. Griff has been brilliant since he joined us and his goal scoring stands up to all the scrutiny you want to put on it. |

Strikers miss chances though. He's no Messi. It's trite to bring up examples like that, you're reaching now Especially saying he lost us two points when he technically gained us one. Again, I agree with you overall but you seem hell bent on going on about Griffiths negatively tonight. He came on and won Celtic the game. The criticisms can come when deserved. |

Hooper over griffiths for me too. Did well when he came on today. He’s deceptively slow, I used to think he was a whippet but he isn’t really. |

The point isn't about missing chances. The point is that when you ARE missing chances you need to be doing the other stuff right. With Griff his head goes down and he belts shots from impossible angles. I'm okay with strikers missing chances if they are doing everything else right and playing for the team which is far more important than one mans goal tally. |
