We don't appreciate Samaras enough!

thank *, somebody on talkceltic talking sense!

OOH AH SAMARAS

 

he makes bad decisions

 

So what you're basically saying there is I'm daft for wanting McDonald over Samaras? I think you might be the one who's "deluded" pal.

All too often he can "keep hold of the ball" for far too long, for example his tunnel vision when he could've allowed Maloney to burst the net.

 

Good Post :bbpd: Sammy Is a Good Player, Tries 100% and Can Score Crucial Goals. But I Do Agree That Maybe He Shouldnt be Played as A Striker Because He Drifts Out Wide Too Many Times.

We Should Stick By Him I Think, As He Is One Of The Most Hard Working Players We Have.

 

Have you seen much of Daryl Murphy then ????????

 

seen enough to say smaras is better than him

 

As Strachan put it - he has everything - really good ball skills, mobile, great pace, hes massive, scores all sorts of goals etc and if he ever puts that all together he will be frightening. He really needs mainly to be coached on the poaching side of the game. If he added goal sniffing to his game he would be a * of a player. Has far more of an impact than Fortune IMO. One way or other Sammy always is in the thick of things and prominent but Fortune seems to hide on the edges of the games

 

Really why slate Murphy when he not played much for us then

 

He * me off somthing fierce. Aye he can be unlplayable when on top form, but I think that is why he * me off so much. If he could string 2 games together on even decent form then most people wouldn't get in his case. They do because 1 game in 12 isn't enough. Every game he constantly makes the wrong decisions, flaps in front of goal and he knows he does this more often than not but still does it. Might have found his position playing left/right in a forward 3, but imo he has had chance after chance. Don't see him going anywher this window but if he doesn't improve his consistency by Jan then he should go. And that jsut doesn't go for Sammy

 

No what you were saying is you want a box-to-box striker which is * near impossible and i'm saying that Samaras actually tries to do this out of his love of the club whereas McDonald on a bad day would just moan and not do anything about it whereas Samaras does! :icon_mrgreen: * loves a trier as do I

 

samaras is * awful, what is there to appriciate he doesnt score or create anywhere near enough goals,his goals to game ratio may look alright(dubious as the one mentioned here is), i would safely say his goal to chance ratio would give a much better indication of how ineffective he is,Celtic strikers should be scoring at least 20 a season theres no way i could see him getting any where near that,hopefully lennon realizes that there is no place for passengers this season and sends him on his way

 

Samaras, on his day, is a quality player. The problem for me is that he is too inconsistent. For that reason, I'd sell him.

 

I was a bit * off that it sounded like he was getting boos in our last game

As far as I'm concerned you don't boo your own team, no matter what

 

Samaras' contribution, although not being heaps of goals, still is vital. His effort, like in yesterday's game, helps our attack immensely. Plus, he's not a whiny *. He is loyal to the club.

 

he is a whiny *

 

the sooner he goes the better fooled us all too many times.

 

I wish another player in our team had long hair and looked a bit lanky, just to soak up some of the personal abuse he gets.

as far as his performances go he's nowhere near our worst, the criticism he takes is well out of proportion.

 

Horeshoe your bang on the guy got dogs abuse last season and was made a scapegoat for what was a poor season.

I also don`t buy into this pish about his apperance, he could play wae bunches in as far as a care. Judge the guy on his perfromances not his hairstyle, this season he has been the best player and ok its only one game into the league.

Whilst the guy plays in celtic colours he will get my backing and the same should apply to all Celtic supporters.

 

+1 mate. Samaras is often used a scapegoat by fans, extremely unfair a lot of the time.
