Journeyman CB. I just can't see a slew of PL teams lining up to take him. He came in with a big reputation, blew it, recovered it somewhat and has now settled into a level somewhere in between McManus and Stubbs. Decent enough but as with a number of players on our squad we should be looking to squeak the quality up a little.

Will never be good enough. Won his share of headers but almost sold the jerseys again with his regular clanger. Let's hope Compper can settle into the team with Ajer.

It's taken you a long time since the game ended to get in your usual slagging post. I quite thought you'd forgotten.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
:ffs:

Watch the one gordon saved with his legs. The other one looks like ajer passes morelos on to boyata and they both leave him.
I have watched them. Ajer lets Morelos run off him twice. Not blaming, Ajer. He is a young lad.

Watch it when you are sober :thumbsup:

Boyata badly at fault for both morelos chances. Brutal defending.

Mixed bag really - his positioning was slack at times and in possession he gave the ball away cheaply a couple of times.

On the other hand i remember him making some good challenges and supplying the odd decent ball forward.

Agree completely. However he is a 27 year old centre half who isn't going to improve much. We cant afford to constantly gift chances with his basic errors.

A lot of people made their minds up about Boyata a long time ago and simply refuse to budge, no matter what happens. He'll be fine for weeks, eff up a pass or lose a man and we'll get the usual, "I always knew he was a bombscare" nonsense.

He was fine today. Even played and defended well in patches but will take pelters off the usual suspects. It happens with every player.

He's looked miles better with Ajer next to him.

Hes been shocking for 70% of his celtic career. If you want to see people refusing to budge check out the mcgregor and Gordon threads :lol:

It's because of what's been happening-the constant mistakes, giving the ball away in lethal areas- that people are not changing their opinion of him.

I’ve gave him pelters recently but he was alright today. Shame Lustig took over the role of the player who can’t play a ten yard pass.

I think opinion is split because his performances tend to be a mixture of really good things (the pass for Lustig at the end) and really bad errors.

Some people remember the good. Others can't get over the awful.

Off the top of my head...

Tavernier has the ball - boyata is tight on morelos at the penalty spot. Notices a runner and inexplicably leaves morelos to go towards the runner. The cross immediately comes in and morelos is unmarked and misses a sitter.

First half, dives in on one of their players getting nowhere near him. Skips past and only a poor pass prevents a one on one with gordon.

Morelos is at Ajers back. 2 v 1 to us - Ajer clearly leaves him to Boyata/Boyata knows he needs to cover. Boyata stops in his tracks and morelos misses another sitter.
