I don't understand how anyone can think he's good enough for Celtic.
I you drew up a list of all of our centre halves this century, he'd be nearer the top than the bottom.
:hmmm:

Feel as if I've done that for no reason other than to be evil and remind folk that Paul Telfer and Daniel Majstorovic once played for Celtic :lol:

edit : and it's all defenders, not just centre halves :(

Harsh on Mulgrew, was amazing for us the year he played CB

edit - the fact you've got Loovens as a 6 makes me think you must be at the bam up

I like Boyata but his passing can let him down . Because of the position he plays any misplaced passes can be costly . Anywhere else on the pitch it wouldn't show up so much.

Mulgrew as a '2' and Caddis as a '1' is mad. Mathews 7, Kaddouri 6, Loovens (!) 6 - same as MacManus - and Eoghan O'Connell on the same level as Misun??? These are just some of the things wrong with this picture

Despite his mistake v Munich at home he also had a good game. The same was true on Tues. Despite a few slack passes he defended very well.


I'm not blinded, I just have a different opinion from you and I'm yet to see an argument that has changed my mind. Given that your argument seems to be "apart from the effing huge, colossal, game-deciding mistake he made against Munich, who also played no striker, he had a good game".

"He had a good game." :lol:

He cost us the points!

And yes, he did make multiple mistakes against Hibs in the semi, and he made another crucial error against Motherwell last week which cost us a goal. The guy isn't good enough, IMO. Just because you have a different one, doesn't make me blind. I'm not the one giving it the old "apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?".

:lol:

So made up pish is better than actually stats? Got you.

No getting away from the fact that Boyata made a few bad passes last night but so did most of the team.
It's more the fact that stats can be twisted, and saying "my stats are better than your stats" is a bit of a fruitless endeavour. The official site lists attempted crosses as a pass for example, whilst the other site separates them into another category.

The point is Boyata makes poor decisions, has cost us already in this CL campaign (in a game against a team without a CF) and is just not cut out for it at this level. He was at least partly to blame for the Motherwell goal at the weekend as well, allowing (yet another) ball to pass over his head instead of just getting it to eff.

The guy is 27, not 20, he's hardly a young guy learning his trade. He also, BTW, and this is another topic, appears unwilling to negotiate a new contract. Punt.
Still easily our most reliable CB.

He also played well v Hibs.

Fluffed his lines with the header at the end. Passing crap again. Defended better than his partner though.

Have absolutely no confidence in his passing, he approaches the ball at times like a timid child scared to dip his toe in a cold swimming pool.

Never going to happen. People said you can coach concentration and focus, but the evidence says that either you can't or BR can't.

He's marginally better than Ambrose - that's about it.

I think your spot on. I really want to like him and he has some great attributes but he doesn’t look at all look comfortable taking the ball out of defence. He never actually carries the ball forward or makes an incisive pass - he dithers and then plays a 2 yard square ball. For me he lacks confidence and that contributes to his mistakes. I wish I was wrong but I don’t think he is good enough.

Thought his poor passing was overplayed in the Anderlecht game but he was brutal today. Sitter at 2-2 as well.
