Renaissance Man.

So composed and assured in defence, passes more than adequately, strong when in possession and a threat from corners..................

Just looks quality nowadays.
Can't argue with that.

Can't believe I'm saying this. He's our best centre back.

It's ridiculous isn't it. I remember when he started away to Killie and thought "well always good to get the boy in the shop window". Fast forward to now and looks absolute class. Keeps it simple and uses his attributes magnificently

If :ph43r: didn't follow that comment 3 months ago you'd have been in for a serious doing on here. What an amazing development - I can't think of the last time a player who was written off by probably every single fan has become so key so quickly.

Maybe BR's just getting Efe match fit again for another rehabilitation... :lol:

Armstrong I get.
Forrest I get.
Brown I get.

But Dedryk Boyata. I would have paid for some poor side to take him off our hands in January. Thank god BR seen enough in him to keep him around. Fantastic displays recently.

I can't get over the transformation in this guy.

He has been excellent recently. I keep waiting for that one catastrophic error, but it hasnt appeared yet. Hopefully it never appears.

We're in a virtuous circle at the moment- the team are going great, so the players individually have confidence and play well, so the team goes great...
It's great to see, but to put some perspective on it, the catastrophic errors are more likely when we're in the CL and against a higher standard of opposition.
I'm hoping Boyata and the others can build up enough of a reserve of confidence and self-belief to tide them over some of the bigger tests ahead.
I remember Jock Stein getting questioned after we ran amok against a wee team; might have been a friendly or one of the EC games against the likes of Sliema Wanderers. He said that that it was important for the strikers to get in the habit of scoring goals, regardless of the standard of the competition. I hope a bit of that philosophy is rubbing off on the team at the moment.
Still, night and day performances from Dedryk compared to a few months ago though and I hope that continues. :thumbsup:

Boyata's improvement has been very impressive. Just goes to show, sometimes the fans don't know schidt.

Remember listening to a podcast early in the season and someone saying they think he could make a player. Might have been Lachie Mor - can't remember. Anyway, kudos to whoever it was - virtually everyone else was writing him off.

A few of us on here stuck by the big man in his hours of darkness and could see there was a player there

Turned out to be OK, and it wasnt completely calamitous. More unlucky than anything and he's bounced back from it pretty well.

He's doing well but I don't agree he is our best centre back... I still think that is Simunovic. But what a nice problem to have.

He's the only one not being rotated so Rodgers disagrees with you.

You may soon be able to resurrect your "Golden Era" thread that went awol. :suspect: :bawman: :ph43r:

This time I will back you on it :thumbsup: - Brendan Rodgers :worthy: said he wants the Celtic Support to enjoy the "Brendan Rodgers" era - He is doing one hell of a job to succeed in his wish.

Been brilliant but still wouldn't trust his bottle in a big game. He's still got to prove this.

Form is form though and currently you cannot argue with his.
