They were very depleted but let’s not pretend that the team they put out tonight was some poor inexperienced reserve/youth team.
Frimpong, Duffy Laxalt & McGregor are first team players
Turnbull, Rogic, Johnstone and Soro aren’t in the strongest 11 but are part of the main squad and would walk into any other team in this league with the exception of Rangers.
Off topic. There's some eye watering comedy on laffback, apparently the result tonight was a disaster for both teams pure comedy gold verging on some serious mental illness 🤣🤣🤣
Makes my grey days go away at times 😆
The quality of final ball and delivery needs to improve considerably. We have two very good strikers up there who are being short changed by their team mates with the standard of crossing and passing.
Had some good spells during the game and fell out of it at times, but showed a bit of resilience in not giving up the ghost after conceding from the free kick.
Thought a draw was about right all things considered.
I didn’t find it tough to watch at all. As I said, I thought it was a pretty good performance. Conditions not great either, pitch was heavy to start with and got cut up badly as the game went on.
Midfield definitely wasn’t non existent. Gogic was really good, Newell played well until he went off and Hallberg got forward quite well.
Thought Gogic did well tonight. He was the one that really wanted to press and win the ball but I didn’t think the other two went with him. Hallberg runs about a lot but I think it’s largely ineffective and Newell floats in and out the game too much for me. I just think we struggle to build the play up and it inevitably gets passed back to the centre halves to shell a big diagonal up the park too often.
A little off topic but a goal at Parkhead must surely have Nisbet ahead of Shankland now in the race for a place in the Euro21 squad. He is joint top scorer in the league on 11 having played fewer games than Tavernier, 2 of those goals against Celtic. Shankland I believe has scored 3 all season.
Whys it always the way when your own team loses a goal, it’s always someone’s in our teams fault.
If Mallan scored that freekick at the other end, nobody would be saying that a Celtc player in the wall didn’t do well enough. We’d just be pointing out that it’s a beauty of a freekick. Which is what Turnbulls tonight was.
Did you watch the free kick again? The players either side of Hanlon jumped and he stayed on the deck. The ball went a few inches over his head. I’m just pointing out what happened. Hanlon always jumps when he’s in the wall. I don’t know why he didn’t tonight. It was a great free kick but could have been blocked.
No that’s fair enough.
I still dispute the reserves argument. Their starting 11 had those 2 young lads and Johnston, the rest were first team quality and would walk in to any team in the league.
The only way that result would have disappointed me would have been if we were playing their under 18’s, otherwise I can be content with a point at parkhead.
