Celtic v Athletic Bilbao August Tuesday 1st kick off 7:30 Celtic TV

Maeda has been impressive.

 

I thought Kwon was ready to fight in paradise?

 

Doubt were winning this our 2nd team will not be anywhere near as strong as this first team but you can bet athletic 2nd team will be near just as strong if not stronger, it's something you notice about the teams from the big leagues

 

Ooft that was a tough watch. I never saw the Wolves game and trust we looked better, but * me we look miles off it tonight.

Kwon's head has gone.

So many loose passes and mistakes, every long ball forward we're struggling with. Little shape going forward.

Aye, I know, pre-season.

 

We have players for positions ffs it’s a pre season friendly ralston will play 45 here in the second half rocki can play RB aswell. Too many people on here losing their * over a meaningless game that I’m sure Rodgers would rather both have had. But gets minutes in legs if players who need it like CCV and Rocki and Ralston etc

 

Yeah even worse with the money we have in the bank get some of it spent on that * defence.

 

To be fair we wont come up against anything like as good a side in the SPFL.

Need to cut out some slack passing and silly mistakes.

 

Honestly that was a concerning half.

None of our problems are getting addressed properly. Taylor, Kwon, Iwata and Forrest are miles off it. Reo has been * as well despite scoring a very good goal.

Kyogo and Maeda have been good. CCV and Nawrocki looking decent as well.

 

RB Is needed ASAP

 

Have to remember and take this for what it is
A testimonial. it’s going to be 2 different teams mixed up of old and new

some great positives. Rocky looks a player

The other new young lads are no doubt not being brought in for first team starters. They are projects Brendan didn’t even have a day in. Buy in cheep have a look if 1 comes off it’s worth it

still think a few big first team players will come in now he’s assed the squad

 

Friendly or not it looks like the way we have played in Europe recently.

Others have said the same, they just look much better than us, which is frightening as our season starts next week.

We absolutely need to add better quality before this window closes, no doubt about it.

 

We'll come up against far better teams in the CL though. If this performance is anything to to by then we're in big trouble.

 

Iwata struggling at right back.. Kwon needing time to adapt to the pace of European football bcoz he's getting caught too easy. Reo's body language worries me.

 

Some players want far too long on the ball; you can't do that at this level against decent opposition. The ball should have been kicked into touch for their second no shame in putting it in the stands from that situation, especially after just getting back into the game with the equaliser; very poor game management, in my opinion. It was an excellent finish by Hatate.

 

Ach that's enough of this thread for one lifetime, roll on Saturday fs.

 

Can’t believe some of the * that gets posted in here

Has every friendly thread been like this?

 

Yeah trying not to judge kwon but not promising so far

 

Maeda looks a different animal this season.

He always looks a moody bstrd wouldn't read 2 much into it

 

He might not be good enough for Europe but good enough for spfl, it's not as if Europe is full of Japanese and Korean players but for a few the rest probably aren't much better than our own

 

some of the 2nd half team will start on the weekend like Hart Abada O’Riley Starfelt possibly ralston so I wouldn’t say it was our full strength team first half
