I used to say he was like Efe but he's a far better player than that. His confidence was just ruined down south. If he had a commanding centreback beside him I think he would be a far, far better player than when he's shunted in beside the vastly overrated Simunovic or the green Ajer. Hopefully big Marvin provides the answer.

I'm not a huge fan but he's had so little 1st team football for someone his age, he gets a bit of slack. Dont forget that he went off injured trying to recover the ball after playing Ajer into a proper legbreaker with another one of his lazy passes. No excuses for that, he does it far too often.
Indeed, and come to think about was rather shaky at Easter rd too. His slackness doesn't always lead to conceding goals, but puts us under pressure and gives opposition openings. Passing is really erratic but his power and recovery are very good.

Might well still be best defender, and I think Rodgers believe he is, but he isn't great. Doesn't look confident just now like a lot a our team. Wish he could replicate anderlrcht away performance more consistently.

One of first games for city was marking drogba, and he done quite well. Seemed to go downhill after that. Was poor at Bolton.

He’ll be a miss. I’m not a huge fan but he’s been steady since the Hearts game.

It's in Europe that both he & Jozo have been shown up.

I thought he played well in both Munich matches (feck up aside) and Anderlecht away. He did alright in in the, Anderlecht match.

PSG away was a horror show for the majority of the team.

More like: in Europe they don't get away with mistakes that they do get away with domestically.

I think that's the case with every player at Celtic. Against a really good team anyone losing the ball, even further up the pitch puts us under pressure.

Yeah, can't really think of many of our players who haven't been 'shown up' in Europe.

Much worse than Sviatchenko’s shaky performance at Ibrox and that was the dealbreaker with him and many Celtic fans.

I’d happily never see Boyata in a Celtic jersey again. Every bit as unreliable as Ambrose who was a joke figure.

Much posting, such opinion, very controversial. wow.

Brutal today, almost cost us the game. Didn’t look fit, Brendan has to take responsibility for picking him.

He’ll get back to his best though with a decent run in the team.
