Still early days, have no concerns over his physical ability, the lad is absolute powerhouse. The problem is his concentration, he needs to stay switched on at all times.
He's probably brought the assumption that the spfl is a nothing league with him from engerland, and it almost is, but teams do threat.
I would hope a guy who's 24 and never been able to hold down a first team place wouldn't have that attitude. This is his big chance and if he blows he won't get another at any decent level.

A couple of slack passes apart he was doing fine in the first 70 minutes

Then he shipped the first goal, again giving it away and tried to jog back :ffs:

And then the second...... Although to be fair I don't think he was 100% to blame for that one.

He been mostly good so far, but today was a poor show, right before a CL game too. :twitch:

I agree with most of this.

But one of those slack passes could have been punished like his other mistakes if they'd broken away in a similar fashion to when they scored.

I'm afraid a CB can't really just play for 70 mins, as the other 20 today clearer shows.

I'm not writing him off as he's shown plenty so far imo, unfortunately getting back in a timely fashion isn't one of the things he's shown.

Chin up and shake it off.

Should be dropped for Wednesday.

That wasn't the first indication that his concentration levels are poor.

Glad he made those mistakes. He possibly thought Scotland was easy.

Nonsense. Was one of the best players on the park in both Qarabag games.

Last seasons young player of the year looked slow and struggled a bit but learned became fitter and quicker as the season went on so a wee bit of patience might be required. :thumbsup:

How hard is it to tell a player he needs to run back faster when he loses the ball? This has happened at least three times already in his Celtic career. Is he a bit thick?

It's not just giving the ball away - it was his half arsed tackle at the edge of the box that really annoyed me. Ambrose is a better bet.

FFS - the bhoy needs game time and people to back him up not destroy him :angry:
I think that he will come good but he needs to play 10-15 games before people judge him.

You didn't complain about people judging him when he was being praised to the heavens after the Qarabag game.

Is it only negative opinions we can't offer?

He was shocking at the goals yesterday and was very slack on the opening day against Ross County but got away with it.

I don't think there is any problem with people pointing this out.

Not sold on him. Sloppy in his matches, even those were some had him in their top 3.

It's not an issue that he misplaces the odd pass but his miscues and mistimed tackles are a genuine concern.

Boyata was bloody dreadful yesterday but there is a player within him and one that we will bring on. I expect him to play well against Malmo where he won't believe he and the team can cruise it.

To be honest I don't think it would be fair to say he was the next VVD or big Bobo after 3 or 4 games either.
There is a world of difference between offering valid criticism and some of the knee jerk slaughtering of players that goes on at times.
This lad only came to us because his career has stalled partly no doubt due to him and partly due to not playing enough games.

Yep and I thought Ambrose had a decent game minus their goal.

I don't think Boyata is up to speed (understandably - very little football) and is too big a gamble.
