    For the love of * stop playing him.

    Can't believe we didn't just let him go. Even as an option he's * poor.

    Laughable he even makes squads, there’s plenty other options, it’s literally became a point making exercise for Rodgers now. He can say he had to play Yang 100 times how do you expect me to drive a Ferrari yada yada.

    Its criminal we turned down £3m just to have him in squad. Between that and £1m for Kenny, thats probably the worst piece of business not done during the summer.

    Even with the squad as light as it is just now I'd still release him today just so I never have to watch him again

    It actually now says more about Rodgers than anything else that he gets picked to start

    Naw there’s no. Yang is * hopeless, but there’s no loads of options, far from it

    Maeda, Tounekti, Balikwisha, Forrest, Nygren, Shin, Donovan, Ralston, you.

    You catching the drift?

    Just plucking any names out and classing them as right wingers aye? Ralston is pish as a right back, never mind playing right wing. * me :56:. Balikwisha hasn’t shown anything suggest he is better option at right wing. Shin hasn’t ever played there for us, unless you seen him playing there in Japan for his team? Nothing to back that claim up. Donovan? Silly option also as he is clearly a right back. Nygren has had games at right wing and looks lost.

    The only 3 players you can really class as real options out of that ridiculous list is Tounetki, Maeda and Forrest. One of them has to play on the left, so that leaves 2. One of them has checked oot and doesn’t want to be here, the other is 34 and is at the end of his career now. Plenty options but :56:. Geez peace.

    My opinion is that I wouldn’t play Yang for Celtic again by any means possible, no really difficult to understand? And that’s been the case for many, many, months.

    He is a middle finger from Rodgers to anyone that wants to take it that way above him. I’d rather we played Sinisalo at right wing than have to endure another minute of him.

    Tounekti on the right with Balikwisha on the left is quite a simple way to potentially improve.

    Yang and Forrest as backup wingers. Yang has actually always looked a bit better on the left anyway.

    There’s no need whatsoever to start Yang.

    I think he is * murder as well. We don’t have plenty options though, that’s a nonsense.

    I think putting Tounetki on the left would be daft to be honest. He is a player that loves to cut inside and looks our most dangerous player. Putting him right nullifies that threat I think.

    The middle finger come from the board to Rodgers in the summer when their incompetence meant we kept hold of Yang. We have 2 natural right wingers. Yang and Forrest. We could shoehorn anyone in, but that’s the fact of the matter. The squad’s a * disgrace.

    He’s not threatening a whole lot at the moment, though. He’s actually been more dangerous putting crosses in, which should come easier to him on his preferred right foot.

    Crosses that nobody is getting on the end of. It’s laughable how bad this front three is. I know our midfield is an issue, it definitely is. However, goals win games, and it’s hard to see where anyone in this team will do this consistently. As I said in another thread, if you combine Forrest, Yang, Iheanacho and Tounetki, they have 53 goals between them all in the last 5 seasons. Our options are woeful.

    Every one of that team has to have a good look at themselves after.that game. No scapegoats really as no one had a decent game . I honestly think worst player was our keeper. He in no way commands his box. Will stay on his line all the * time but everyone was dire. And this has been going on for ages, Jesus.... playing for celtic should have you up for Any and Every game pulling on that shirt

    You could put the winner of the paradise windfall on at HT and I guarantee they'll be better.

    It's one thing signing a guy of this quality, it's another to consistently put him on the pitch.
