Kristoffer Ajer

Really? Thought his missus was brought in with the women's team at the same time as he was, and was pregnant inside the year... must be mixing him up with someone else!

Was picking out people saying stuff like 'sharp drop in form', 'very poor' and 'chronic' something or other... he's made a few mistakes, but none of those terms seemed fair to me. We always seem to trash our own players at the first moment, and for that to be a young lad just rubbed me up the wrong way. Didn't mean any * against anyone in particular!

 

That was Sviatchenko.

 

Oh yeah! So it was...

 

All players go through a ropey time now and again, would be good for the player himself to know that the fans are behind him, he will pull through.

 

Aye I think he's got great potential and will become an excellent defender who will attract top clubs in England and Europe but he does have a lot to learn.

He just has to get a bit wiser. Pulling a guys Jersey with two hands and sliding in miles away from the ball inside the box is * retarded, primary 6 like defending. He just needs an experienced defender to put an arm round him and teach him some tricks of the trade.

Bad thing for us is our main defensive coach is a guy that played about 28 professional games, if Ajer just gets smarter which he no doubt will he'll go on to be a star.

He gives 110% and has a cracking attitude, just needs to use his heed a bit more.

 

You are mixing him with Sviatchenko, it was his wife we brought to play at celtic's womens team

 

I think he's a very good young player who could become a great player but has been off form lately. I don't think a rest for a couple of games would do him any harm. Elhamed at CD and Bauer at RB might be a better option against Cluj.

 

A rest isn't the problem ,he is just back playing since injury , it's his concentration or lack of , allowing players to get a run on him , going forward he is much better and gives us another dimension to our play .

 

At 21, he will not peak for another 4 or 5 years..

The hard part will be keeping him and seeing him peak in the Hoops.

He’ll make mistakes and like any young player his decision making will improve.

 

I'd stick with him, we want him to form a partnership with Jullien, the only way that happens is if they play together regularly. There might be some teething problems along the way, while they learn each others game, but it'll be worth it in the long run I feel. It would be a mistake to break it up at this stage just because of a couple of sub par performances.

 

A rest is maybe the wrong word. A break from the stress of playing week in week out for such a young player when he's had a couple of sub-par games might be beneficial. He can come back raring to go.

 

Keep banging on about it, but he is more comfortable on the right side of defence has even played RB..

Jullien can play L/CB and would instantly make Bolingoli more solid with Elhamed doing the same with Ajer.. a small tweak that could make all the difference imo.

 

Good shout .

 

KA: "To get through this really tough group you have to win your home games. We go into every game aiming to get three points and tomorrow is no exception

KA: "We want to do better than last time at Celtic Park. It’s a massive game and we know Cluj will make it really difficult."

KA: "They showed against Lazio that they’re a top side and we’ll have to be at our very best to get three points. We’ve improved lot since our last game against them

KA: "We have a great chance to go through in this group and that’s our main target. The Celtic mentality is taking one game at a time and that’s very important tomorrow night. We have to start well in the game.

KA: "I feel like the whole back four are getting to know each other. We’re talking a lot in training and during the meetings with the staff after games to learn how we can improve

 

Big Fella owes the fans a top performance.

 

What do you mean?
