Where have I quoted the manager ? If there is an issue with the player do you think BR's going to say it at a media conference ? If the centre of defence was steady and consistent, I could get him not starting. The very fact that it is regularly chopped and changed, hasn't looked all that secure yet Compper still can't get on the bench suggests to me all is not well. Time will tell. |

Makes sense mate. You look at how he warned Griffiths so publicly when Griffiths was being an absolute banger off the park. Griffiths was lucky his career at Celtic wasn't ended there and then. Thankfully he screwed the nut and he's not looked back. Difference with Commper is you are buying a supposedly experienced defender to lead your youngsters. Brendan is well quoted on the players living their life as the ultimate pro off the park too. I just don't believe the stuff about not giving him game time as we are at the business end now. From the 10th of July we will have 8 games in 8 weeks that will shape our season. Commper is either put into the team now or as suggested above I doubt he will be here for those games. I personally don't think Hendry is anywhere near ready for those games - or if he ever will be. |

You haven't. I have. At length, to show what the manager has said about Compper within literally the last five days. I believe he used a press conference to go right through Griffiths, so it's not as if it would be the first time. I just wonder why no one can take those comments at face value but want to frequently mention the Musonda quotes and treat them like Gospel. It's a genuine curiosity to me on how some people like to paint things. Whatever your issues with the defence, they've conceded 1 goal in four games despite a change of goalkeeper, Tierney's injury, and whatever else. Generally, they have also conceded less league goals to this point than the 106 point winning unbeaten season. Rodgers currently prefers Ajer, is probably how this can be best summed up. It reminds me a bit of the stuff about Simunovic "never playing for the club again" after failing to play in Astana in August (go look it up if you don't believe me) despite him back in the line up within literally two games. It just strikes me as a bit OTT. |

I take press conference answers with a pinch of salt. BR said he didn't want three strikers and then went out and got Edouard three weeks later. If there are concerns behind the scenes about Compper i don't believe he would air them at a presser. Given that I suspect that Boyata and Siumonic won't be here next season, I don't think Compper was signed as a Gamboa type squad player. Of the central defence, only Ajer is playing at an acceptable standard with every Celtic supporter I know saying that both Jozo and Boyata are miles of the form they showed this time last year. Hendry has been inconsistent. Yet Compper is struggling to get on the bench. I suspect that something's not right. |

Compper was signed to go straight into the first team and add experience to the central defence, the downside was he couldn't play in Europe, which was quite a downside really. I don't think we would have bought him in June, but for a relatively small outlay it made some sense. Something has happened behind the scenes - touched on by a few posters on here, but he has contributed nothing to Celtic this season so far, the injury probably hid that for a while. It will come out in the wash, always does. |

We don´t have to make excuses for Brendan Rogers. Like you, BR expected Musonda to hit the ground running. But hey. Musonda is human, and so is BR, so he didnt hit the ground running as expected, So BR has decided he needs more time. What exactly is the problem with that? |

The fitness games quote was about Compper? And we didn’t exactly pummel anyone down the flanks those games. Wish to eff we did or would sometime though. |

No problem with that, that’s the point. It’s the rush to infer Musonda wasn’t brought in as an immediate starter, a 10, but was brought in early to give a bedding in period. It looks like Brendan expected him to make more of an impact straight away; the money and time spent pursuing this guy backs that up, and now it hasn’t quite happened (yes, it’s early, yes, it might yet happen) I think it’s fair that people get a bit aggravated over it. We really needed a boost to the team’s creativity and thought this was going to be it. 3 months down the line, we’re still waiting. |

Rogic and Roberts are back, and they need gametime more than Musonda. Looking back, Roberts showed flashes under Ronny, but exploded on to the scene the following season. Musonda could well do the same, but that can wait as we have our flair players back again and they have a chance to make history don’t forget. It’s largely the same squad that could win back to back trebles. And the players who have been most important during this last 2 years are going to be picked first. I think most managers would do the same, there is some level of loyalty awarded to players who have done the hard work. And it keeps the value up of anyone that may be leaving. |

Exactly. It just didn't happen the way everyone hoped. We can get aggravated all we want but that doesn't change things. It's nobody's fault. Not Brendan's, not Musonda's. It just didn't happen, at least not as quickly as we hoped. |

BR could become first Hoops boss in history to beat THREE Rangers managers in cup semi-finals He has already seen off Mark Warburton and Pedro Caixinha at Hampden. C'mon Brendan, set another record. |
