    He has yet to prove himself for Celtic, I thought that today he lacked a bit of hardness in the tackle.If you look at the hearts players they were getting right in amongst it whereas we were a bit poofy

    Our forwards might not exactly be target men but it doesn't count as a 'fantastic ball' if it doesn't even get near our players. Commons put in some decent balls. Mulgrew put in some decent balls. I didn't see a 'fantastic' ball by a single Celtic player all game, and certainly not from Lustig.

    I don't think it's acceptable to play a defensively weak full-back in a semi-final against Hearts anyway, regardless of whether they're putting in good crosses.

    then go and watch the game back and you will change your tune. I was right next to the hearts corner flag on the right flank and had a great view of how good his crosses were

    He wasn't as bad as some on here are making out. Its far to early to write him off and he doesn't deserve the Cha comparisons, he's not looked that bad.

    I am going to hold back and reserve judgement til after the Euros in the summer. Prior to the League Cup Final I was discussing Lustig with a Swedish friend of mine, who said that when he plays for Sweden he is usually deployed on the right hand side of a back 3 and assured me that Lustig does well in that role. If he does that this summer, then I think we have a better idea of what this guy can offer the team.

    Some comments are hilarious. Without my vikinghelmet on i think he was the only player who was playing well today

    His crosses were good, the rest of his play was *.

    I thought he was the only real stand out today. Did leave us exposed defensivley though. but it wouldn't have mattered if our midfield was more balanced today.

    Not convinced at the moment tbh

    Though I think we might see a better, sharper player once he's got a decent pre season under his belt.

    If that's him playing well then I dread to think what he's like when he has a bad game

    Thought he looked good until he knackered himself in that challenge. He shouldnt have stayed on after that because he clearly couldnt run after that. Think he looks really decent in attack and solid at passing under pressure etc. Miles better than Cha. I think he is going to be a good player for us once he settles in.

    Aye, think once he has a good pre season with us under his belt we'll probably see a better player. He's not been dreadful but he's not been great either though I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt! :50:

    I you could see he couldn't put any weight on it and the leg just looked like it was ready to buckle under him when he went to mark his man at the corner just after it

    Thought he played well, some good deliveries into the area. Also had a couple of overlaps which weren`t spotted, much more impressive than previous displays.

    Mick, I think we are badly lacking a big feckin bully in our midfield, and two big bullies at centre half

    By the way, what was wrong with Adam Mathews ? Also what is the script with Izzy ? I know we shouldn't rush him back, but he has done well when he's played. Should have played Izzy @ L/b, and Mulgrew @ C/b in place of Wilson

    Very good going forward i felt made some great runs in the first half especially.

    Needs to work more on his defensive game though.
