So I've just watched the first half again. Sinclair's work on the ball was as follows:
8 minutes. Gets his first touch of the night (So I did him a disservice). Tries to make a run up the left but puts the ball out of play for a Bayern throw.
14 minutes. (Being generous here). Gets a toe on a Bayern pass. Bayern retain possession.
28 minutes. Ball drops to him inside Celtic half. Played upfield with possession lost.
30 minutes. Collects ball inside the Celtic half and completes first pass of the night.
33 minutes. Collects ball inside Celtic half and lays off short pass for second completed pass.
37. Miscontrolls pass. Possession lost.
39 minutes. Collects the ball runs at defender possession lost.
42 minutes. Nice swivel on the centre circle to complete third pass and first inside the Bayern half.

That about covers the first half on the ball. Off the ball he resembled a dog chasing a ball at the beach. Pretty easy to see why he got taken off 15 minutes into the second half. All that to say I like Sinclair, he has been a top signing. But last night was beyond disappointing for someone of his ability.
Who goes out their way to study a bad performance from one of our best players on a night where the team and the supporters did the club proud :cuckoo:
That's the thing he wasn't one of our best players on the night is what Murphio is getting at. We can all see it. just hoping BR has a plan to bring him back to form.

It's obvious he has an immense talent and his lack of form is psychological, but maybe to fix that isn't dropping him but keeping faith. I dunno. I was in agreement to drop him but it depends on the player.

He needs a break. Everyone can see it. Same way most sensible folk realised after the amount of football griffiths has played in the last 6 months or so, he needed a break too. But Griff's form was better right enough.

I guess the sports science? tech guys will be able to work out which types of games he's been more effective and select him for those to get his level/confidence up?

Say home against easier teams or away from the bigger crowds etc.

Are you serious? He had two weeks off during the international break last month and will have another two weeks off in a few weeks.

Teams have started sitting so deep against us at home. IMO, Sinclair doesn't suit playing against teams set up like that. He's tricky but not as tricky as Roberts so he's less likely to beat an opposition player. When he cuts inside he runs into traffic. I think he gets more joy when teams have to come on to us and he gets more space to run at the opposition. Strikes me that those games are more likely to be when we're away from home.

A break from playing as he's not performing well. Not because he is knackered.

I mentioned Griff needing a break because of game time.

He was also left out of the Hibs game and came on as a sub before the International break.

Sinclair is just in bad form - and has been for quite a while. His goals mask the poor performances at times. No doubt he'll be back firing soon enough though.

A couple of weeks ago, people were saying it was obvious Tierney needed a rest and looking at him at one point in a game, he looked as if he'd been carting sofabeds up 16 flights of stairs (before going on another lungbursting run).

He never got dropped and his next game was at Pittodrie and he had another blinder a week later against Bayern Munich. Sinclair will come good, but there's absolutely no point in coming out with Regi Blinker style insults about a guy whose dipped a bit from an incredible season - but still has scored double figures already this term.

He's a quality player. Let's not go overboard with the denunciations.

:thumbsup:

He has shaded badly and was a passenger on Tuesday night but he is far too good a player that he won't come good again.


I would still play him against the Perthshire Cloggers as he is streets ahead of Hayes - He can have his rest then and if necessary also against Ross County.

I simply said Sinclair hid and didn't want the ball. That was the sum total of my 'analysis'. The blow by blow of what he did with the ball in the first half would tend to back that up. :thumbsup:

So do you have time stamps of what he did without the ball? Runs, dragging men away from others, defensive covering? Do you have an idea of what he was told to do by the coaches?

Yeah. He made one interception and spent the rest of the time chasing shadows. Let's face it he is no Rino Gattuso - his game and effectiveness is on the ball, not off it. If we are to have any chance against the likes of Bayern we can't afford to carry passengers and he was one. You need your best players to step up to the plate; not go into hiding.
