gosh martin. gonnae stoap it!
@alanmorrison5981 no chance. You should be in some advisory capacity at celtic. Just a wee joke there BTW
Great show again troops. HH
Superb insight and discussion guys,cheers 👍
Thank you
Great show guys. Always an interesting insight!
Great to finally see the pod lads .. that excuse at the start over the delay was like a child saying the dog ate my homework 😂
yep but to be fair me and James are pretty clueless so we do need yer man Enda
Why the hell are we not utilising Khun's pace on the left wing, skinning his man hitting an early cross for Kyogo or hitting the byline for Idah. I'm baffled as to why we aren't doing this?
Interesting that Alan mentioned early that Dundee allowed Scales and CCV to bring the ball into the Dundee half and Docherty had his team man-mark from that point on. Dochery was with McInnes as an assistant for many years and this is carbon copy of how McInnes has played Celtic tactically. Therefore, this idea is when the center backs have the ball, they are not capable of seeing the ‘holes’ and making touch passes (they do not have this skill). This is displayed so often as Kyogo never sees the ball when he makes his runs. When Celtic are up high on the field you need creative players on the ball. If you are man marked the requirements to get free are change running speeds, first touch and constant movement off the ball. I’m not seeing this. The (3) player combination (first goal, we used this move once more at the end of the first half), 1 - 2 passes and players that can go past opponents are the key. Move the wingers to their strong side Kuhn (left) and Forrest, Palma and Yang right side. The complaints re: that those players do not go to the line and cross on their off wing. Those players are one-foot dominant, naturally they will come inside.
For all the talk about poor signings I think the biggest disappointment this season has been Rodgers himself, I was delighted and amazed that he came back to us and the SPL. An elite coach to replace Postecoglu. I keep waiting for him to transform this squad but it never happens. Has he lost it or is it simply a case of you cant make that silk purse from a sow`s ear?
John - i'm holding reservations. i thought he approached Europe sensibly but for now, my ire is aimed at the recruitment function. That all said Rodgers should be doing more., Now is not the time, however.
Hmm, I think even if Ange had stayed we would have struggled this season (partly why he left?). We needed 3 or 4 quality players for this season. Instead we lost 2.
I missed you guys I thought you were dead thank goodness you’re not.
Thanks Tom - always expect the worst - you'd make a grand Risk Manager
yea,my first thought too.
Good episode. I don't think we need worry too much about honest mistakes vs hearts. However the nature of how they'll play vs us is a worry. The hearts game is the one I'm most concerned about. For me, win today vs hearts and the league is ours. I have no worries about next week. I even think Killie may take a point tomorrow... If we win today. I know McInnes is a rangers man (I wouldn't call him a hun) but I'm not convinced he ever does anything but try to get a result for whichever team he manages. And the Killie team setup essentially cuts off the sevco midfield. Could be good.
not heard for definite yet but believe Beningeme is out for Saturday (hopefully).
Good player but not seemingly recovered from his bad injury. Still big blow for them
Cheers Robert - much appreciated
Hey, where are you guys? We got the diets to review and full fat to preview!
great show guys as usual but dont open that convenience store
Excellent as always Alan and James. Keen on your thoughts on Bernardo potentially being a player who could be adapted into a solid number 6? To my untrained eye he appears to have everything required apart from speed maybe? Iwata's positioning is great but lacks ball progression imo.
Bernardo has upsides especially OOP but simply doesn't progress the ball well enough for an attacking 8 at Celtic. I'd be surprised if Celtic exercise the buy option.
That was a pass from Kyogo, I believe.
ohnonono alanbros we're getting rekt on x
Hearts will play on Saturday if it’s a cup final forget the last game against rangers just look at the stats which are facts
Given our problems on the wing this season, has James Forrest been "criminally undervalued" by Brendan Rodgers for months?
not sure - it's tricky! What you can say is others have been given their chance
Where've you been!?!
grow up or buy yourself a dummy
Alan how do you rate Scales, by stats!
I think he is over criticised !
i've written about this on the Celtic Way extensively. Who doesn't love a tier? But there are inherent limitations.
I’ll have a look , think there something on huddle breakdown .. I was keen to see an analysis on the 3 semi final goals … you’d think Scales scored 3 own goals
@@eddiemarzella3249 he was in no mans land for the 1st and left CCV totally exposed albeit CCVs body shape was out. 2nd and 3rd hes caught under the ball and criminally was ball watching for both albeit Taylor did nothing to help him.
Not a fan of Scales
They also stole at least three metres with every throw
If Forrest came on instead of Yang at ibrox, I reckon we’d have won the game. But we will never know and might not even matter.
Agree, we would've but we will never know. And I don't even just mean that Forrest wouldn't have made that error, with his experience that ball would've been 60 yards up the pitch with him holding someone off.
FAB pod again, lads. There’s absolutely no doubts about James Forrest’s talents, and it was great seeing him back and scoring goals again. But, the one nagging doubt I have about him is when the going gets tough, he hides. He’s scored plenty of equalisers, some in big games, but I don’t ever recall him scoring when Celtic are two or more goals down. By that stage, he’s in hiding. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I think he lacks fight and grit.
James Forrest has scored many goals in big games, more than anyone else in the squad. Assists too. Re. your point on him not scoring when Celtic are two or more goals down - how often are Celtic in that situation?
My point remains the same - he’s never done it.
@@tinamac2380Can you name me some other Celtic wingers from the last decade who have done it?
I completely agree with you Tina when you say 32 year old Wee Jamesy ''lacks fight & grit'' & sadly we have such types in abundance in the current crop & it always is laughable when you get some who speak of us ''grinding out results'' when we quite literally don't have a single, solitary, grinder in the squad to grind out ANY kind of a winning result & so just completely abandon the grinding notion once for all, but if Wee Jamesy really does have anything about him, he has five games left to go out there & make it a season he'll remember when he's long retired & we do NEED him to perform in these five games like he's never performed before & for sure, he's a far better player than the awful & woeful Kuhn, Palma & Yang ALL put together
User-oh. Take the time and read my post. I’ve acknowledged Forrest’s contribution over the years. But, it’s my view that he ‘hides’ on the pitch when we struggle. It would also be fair to say that over the past 2 years, both Jota and Abada dug us out of a few holes.
Yes indeed, when you're fast running out of road as we are & the other lot are too of course, the ''qualitative'' issues become even more ''pressure cooker'' like focused & analysed & bhoy oh bhoy, have we had our substantial ''qualitative'' issues to deal with literally ALL season & as our performances & results have so lamentably & woefully demonstrated & proved, but are we with four games left & three of them at Celtic Park, really NOW going to go out & strut our stuff & perform ANYTHING like a 1/6 shot in these remaining four games to win this season's League Title & the £60 million that goes with it on this particular occasion?
Well your guess is as good as mine, since I have completely no idea what kind of Celtic is it that will turn up on Saturday at Celtic Park in front of a full house & against a zombie managed very average, to be polite, Swinecastle rabble with nothing left to play for, but if you're a 1/6 shot to win the League & the £60 million that goes with it, we should ONLY be going out there & winning 3-0 or 4-0 & even when you factor in ''honest mistakes'' and/or the weather if you're desperate enough to talk about that & hey ho, maybe we actually do go out there on Saturday & play with a real flourish & zest as a collective for the very first time this season & so do go on to win 3-0 or 4-0 after getting an early goal to settle the nerves & then immediately going all out for a second, but most sadly there is also every chance that it's ONLY yet another in a long string of pedestrian & turgid like shows from us that gets the Celtic Park full house slowly but surely, most demonstrably frustrated & nervous with every passing minute waiting for the first goal & then at least a second, as one is just NEVER EVER enough going into the final fifteen minutes or so & as was so dutifully proved against Dundee last week.
Hope you feel better after that Frank
@@alanmorrison5981 What part of it do you disagree with and/or have difficulties with Alan?
@@frankbrennan1619hi Frank. I was just a little overwhelmed by such a tsunami of negativity. So my comment was general not specific.
@@alanmorrison5981 And therein lies the difficulty of you being ''a little overwhelmed'' in that you're giving a ''general comment'' to quite a specific question I asked of you & which you chose not to address in any way & that's perfectly fine & for sure I do love your hyperbole & just the thought of big roughty, toughty, regular gym goer Alan being in ANY way ''overwhelmed'' & no matter how little, by my two wee paragraphs of quintessentially factual comment & as if they really are in ANY way ''a tsunami of negativity'' or as dear old David Beckham himself might put it '' what's it got to do with the Toon Army?'''
gasbag.
As much as i like Greg Taylor every side targets his lack of physically be it in the champions league the league or the cup . This can't go on . We need to replace him with a taller physical left back in the mould of k.t . It is also apparent that teams allow scales to have the ball as he can't do anything with it . Again he needs replaced with someone who is competent on the ball.
A change of dietician in the sports science dept. mibbe needed to solve the wind problem?
what are you,5?
We failed to find a suitable replacement for Jota and Mooy. Their talent has been sorely missed. Will the board continue this infuriating trend and fail to replace Hart, and upgrades at LB and CB? This league should have been done and dusted with the 8 point lead we held months ago. Buying from the bargain bin is going to cost us eventually. We have one challenger and we had them down and out. Yet the board didn't give Brendan what was required to finish the job early. One slip up and it could cost us 10's of millions.
Tony - yes all true. But we are living in the reality of where we are. So let's get behind it
I'd rather have one Forrest cross than six Yang crosses.
Even Dracula wouldn't mind Yang's crosses too much....
