    I think he has lost all confidence, pretty poor again today.

    Didn't look fit today and had a poor game along with a good few others.

    Still rate Adam tho.

    Hasn't been the same player since Ledley left tbh. Had bags of potential too, shame really.

    Honestly didn't think he was that bad.

    Shinnie had the game of his life down his side that 2nd half though that was when we were a man lighter.

    The reality of it is that isnt he's very good. I was slated for saying Fisher was better defensively but I really stand by that point, all Matthews does is watch the ball its like he is never really caring or focused. He can be great going forward sometimes but his defensive work is school boy at times which is utterly unacceptable for a professional player.

    Not for me either.

    He was playing quite well recently, but for me he's the weakest full-back we have.

    Matthews has been playing well lately.

    Knee-* reaction after a below par game yesterday. In this formation our full backs will be caught out more often, it's bound to happen the way we are set up.

    Hurry back Mikael and then get injured again....we should really be looking into the right back area as well as left back IMO.

    Lustig is a key player but the guy can't be trusted to play more than 20 odd games a season. 28 now as well so no doubt his injuries will just get worse.

    You can't say that for sure.

    Cannot afford to continue to take the risk on him as good a player as he is, have to look for alternatives.

    He's a right sided Izzy.

    Can't defend, rarely puts in a good cross but he's great at everything in between.

    I hope Celtic write to Matthews asking him to explain his short backpass to Gordon.

    Matthews 'crossing' is the reason he's set up the most goals out of all our full backs this season.

    I do. Mostly because he seems to be the only one that has realised to pick his head up and wait until he has a man to get the ball too from the wing.

    Izzy's crossing hasn't deteriorated, there just isn't as many people in the box to get the ball into anymore and he's continued whipping them in. He's stopped that a bit lately but he hasn't had the ball worked in behind for him

    Your point being?

    As Koke said, Lustig is the only player in our team that can consistently put a good ball into the box and he rarely plays.
