Could go on a big tangent about this guy, but why bother? Some folk have their heels dug in so deep that it's a waste of time arguing. I'm just glad we have him in this age of fleeting loyalty in football, where so many see no long-term future at Celtic. As another poster put it very aptly in the post-match thread. We don't need to buy him, we don't need to sell him. He's ours. Proven himself at every level other than against the PSG/Man Citys of this world. How we do against the likes of Anderlecht, Astana, Be'er Sheva (sadly) is more important these days. He's been our best player in a good amount of these games and I hope he continues this form and gets the nod against Zenit as well. |

You're right. I forgot how much we struggled last season with two centre forwards. Rotation is fine - and I said I'm happy with us having 3 strikers in the squad but what I want is for us to have an agreed number 1 striker with someone putting pressure on him and someone happy to be a bit part player. Rotating one position - maybe the most important in the team - between 3 players who all have different styles is detrimental to building any sort of rhythm in the side. |

Totally agree. Griff should be no 1 striker. It was Brendan's only error last year to put Moussa in ahead of Griff too often. Moussa will be a fantastic player within 2 years, and rightly will command an enormous transfer fee, but right now Griff is just a better player. |

I don't think the rotation has been entirely by design. I think the setup you've described more or less matches what we aimed to do this season but because of injury, form, bad behaviour and speculation it hasn't happened like that. It rarely ever will if you say here's my man, I'll stick by him, he's the guy for these sixty games coming up! It's all a bit fantasy island for me, no injuries, no international fatigue, no personal schmaltz Edited by Pussyfoot, 24 Jan 2018, 01:47 AM.

What I want is a team that can go 70 something games with just one defeat, win every trophy they are in and reach the CL consistently. Seems more important than being able to put labels on what kind of strikers you have in your squad, but that’s just me. |

We'd certainly notice the difference if we lost Leigh instead of Moussa in my opinion |

As per the last thread, if the personal squabbling takes over the thread, the thread will get closed. People are allowed to hold an opinion on a player, and discuss why they hold that opinion - good or bad. Deal with it. If you're getting too personal in your posts, put the other person on ignore. |

The bickering in this thread has already become tedious and it is going the same way as the last one. Why has a mod not said anything? |

I don't really see why the Mods are being so sensitive about people debating on this thread. Just let them get on with it - I'm sure nobody will top themselves for having someone disagree with them on their opinions of one player

Changed the game last night. Just lifted the whole team when he came on and offered us something Edouard couldn't. Took his goal really well but should have had another two. His first chance in particular was a bad miss. |

So you're saying he scored 1 out of 3 chances, that's not bad IMO |

It is not bad. The fact he missed a far easier chance in his first one on one is not good. Give him time to think about a chance and more often than not he will miss it. Can't afford that against Zenit. |
