MOTM Celtic 6/2/2022

[weeyin]

Make your pick - and pretend we were saving ourselves for Wednesday.

[Spiderpig]

For me it was a toss-up between Kelly and cornelius,  went for Cornelius as he put in a great shift, never stopped probably deserves a run in the team.

[0Neils40yarder]

Kelly by a million miles...if not for him, it would've been a far bigger humiliation 

[joewarkfanclub]

Thought Deano had as good a game as any of the outfield players and deserves to keep his place on Wednesday. But it has to be Kelly who stopped it getting really embarassing. 

[SteelmaninOZ]

DC or LK

went for LK

[GazzyB]

Went for Deano, his direct searching pass in the first half into the feet of KVV out of nowhere was a very encouraging sign.

 

Efford started well but is miles off the pace, and Tierney looked a little more like he believes he belongs here this week. A few gurns at the ref which is good to see.

Had to be Liam Kelly for me. It could’ve be 10 if it wasn’t for Scotland’s number 1 between the sticks

Liam Kelly, best outfield player was Dean.

[Yorkyred]

Kelly but I thought that overall McGinley  had a solid game especially in the first half.

[maz]

Went for Cornelius, you wouldn't have thought it was only his third league start while some of his experienced team mates were hiding. Special mention to Kelly as he made numerous cracking saves.

[David]

Surprised at so little recognition for the effort and performance by McGinley. Thought he looked good out there.

I agree. Especially as he was hung out to dry. Expected to cover all across the back line, even to the extent of right back. And when Celtic were rampaging down the left he received no help whatsoever from Goss, Donnelly and Carroll who spent more time playing hide and seek than tracking back. He did make a few mistakes, but at least he was willing to get involved and never hid. The others mentioned would do well to look at the way the youngsters applied themselves.

What got me was not the defeat, but the manner of it. One poster said the players were no less committed than they were in the previous matches. Not so. Against St Mirren and County all the players put in the effort., even if the end results were poor. Sunday was just depressing.

Seems to be a recurring theme though TBF I think Goss is carrying an injury, I don't think a midfield 3 of Slattery, McGuire and Cornelius would be any worse.
