He has a terrible first touch and is not the guy to give the ball to when keeping hold of possession is so important. He is not better at retaining the ball whatsoever. And he is absolutely unsuitable for the pressing game, doesn't have the athleticism, the inclination or the discipline. Armstrong is nothing special but at least he offers some of these attributes. |

True enough. I wasn't offering him as a panacea, just as a marginally better relief option for Rogic until we enter the next transfer window. |

I mean in the short term. If we can get him playing the way he did in the first half against City for 70-odd minutes against that level of opposition over the next couple of seasons, he'll be doing great. But, yes, we should be looking to make him a 90 minute player. |

And you're describing the Commons of 3 years ago. The guy who didn't make it past half time in his last two league starts wasn't even up to away days at Kilmarnock. |

Yep, that's what we'll see I'd guess, Christie is a cracking prospect. Commons doesn't have a future at Celtic, cant see Rodgers giving him any game time. |

I'd rather a wheelchair ridden Tom Rogic carting around an oxygen tank with him on the pitch than Kris Commons. Anyway, for all his lack of stamina he has been playing more and more minutes domestically. Hopefully this will improve his fitness at the higher level. Even if it doesnt improve, his performance in the first half was that good yet still could easily be improved upon, i think we need to plan around his deficiency. |

Not a great game but there were a few moments where he looked top class, the dribble in the first half was superb. |

when he gets the ball at his feet, you always feel something good will happen. I though his shot early in the second half was really clever, hit low and to the corner. Keeper did well to anticipate it. |

Is there an underlying problem with this guy, that even the summariser's are running a book on when he'll be replaced, early in the second-hauf Surely, if there aint no underlying medical reason for his poor levels of stamina, the sports scientists (and the rest) should be able to get him moving for the full bahuna?!? |

The ball sticks to him, his close control is brilliant. |

No inside knowledge but he was picked up relatively late in his career and had a long lay off due to injury Possibly limits his fitness or will take a while to build up |

Being picked up "late" in his career is just an excuse I'm afraid. He wasn't picked up 6 months ago. |

How is it not a disadvantage when he is competing against players who have been destined to play at this level since 10/11? Its clear Rogic is developing in every aspect of the game and his fitness is slowly but surely getting there. |

he has an unusual gait in that he looks a bit "top heavy". I've no idea whether that restricts his fitness levels, or he has a touch of the Paddy McCourts about him, but he is incapable of playing a high tempo game for 90 minutes regularly, so there must be something that needs fixed. |

He's 24 years of age. Was picked up at the age of 19 if I'm led to believe correctly. Even taking into consideration injuries he has had about 18 months or so now to get himself fit. It's used as an excuse because people don't want to critise him which is fair enough. I think it's lazy not to be able to get yourself fit. |
