    Ah, so you don’t care how much he works for his teammates? I’m very glad Rodgers wouldn’t agree with that.

    He does need to work on his decision making, no doubt but ignoring what je does and the unselfish stuff he does to focus on that is just daft.

    Running and working hard is standard, mate. It’s what any professional, junior or * player should pride themselves on before they even take a first touch.

    Fair play to him for dragging defenders about but I’m not going to applaud it, I absolutely expect it.

    You only need to look at the top established strikers in the world like Suarez, Cavani, Griezmann who actively look for the cut back at times before they shoot.

    Unselfishness is key for me, particularly the way we play by creating overloads. He’s got to work on it.

    And yet there’s so many footballers who don’t do it. He’s a major part of why we’re playing so well just now and it’s mainly because of the selfless stuff he does that, that is the case.

    Christie in particular has been loving it. He’s far from a selfish player for me, I just think his decision making is daft at times. I’m not saying he doesn’t need to work on it, I’m just pointing out the selfless things he does.

    Work rate should always be appluaded btw, it’s why we’ve taken to Christie, big reason everycunt loves Tierney, Broony, it’s what has turned James Forrest from a frustrating player to a fan favourite.

    He's just a kid, though. Did you ever watch us on a stream playing at Ross County? Annoying that camera angle, wasn't it? You couldn't see the all the patterns and options from above like we're used to as fans. The speed of the professional game these days (especially in Europe) is unbelievable, it's all about split-second decisions based on complex permutations of space, movement and even acceleration of several players at once and all at ground level where they are hard to spot. The computational load is very high, which is why only the very best players develop "great vision" and young players always have bad decisions in them.*

    With experience and coaching, he'll get better.

    * except KT, apparently. :56:

    Fancy him to do well today but we badly need another striker in to give him a break.

    Need a big contribution from this player today....too inconsistent of late and looks uninterested at times.....he's not the only one who needs to step but as our striker he needs to make a better impact.

    He’s just not a natural out and out striker. He has the physicality for it but not the brain.

    Can’t see him picking up the pace anytime soon with literally no players to take his place in the team off him.

    Not a striker, if he has a future with us it's 100% on the wing.

    Agree with this. You can see his brians just not fast enough. You can see what hes tring to do but just not quick enough for a top striker.
