    Yeah, that's true but it's just our fans habit of singling out players for criticism when quite a few of them have been accountable for some howlers this season. Hope Brendan keeps DB, seems to like him, think he needs a solid experienced partner beside him and we'll see the best of him.

    Not had an incredible amount to do. Won a lot of the aerial battles so far and generally keeping it simple with passes. So far so good.

    made a terrific sliding interception that would have problably led to a goal.

    Played well in terms of aerial battles and tackling which we all know he can do. A few dodgy moments on the ball though.

    Pretty much standard Boyata.

    He had the 2nd most possession in their match, 9.4% only Alderweireld had more.

    Completed 82 out of 90 passes (91%)
    Won 8 headers (every other guy on the park for both team only won 20 between them lol)

    A country has a finite pool of defenders and on this occasion Boyata starts due to injuries.

    The fact he is, in Martinez eyes, in the top 5 Belgian centre backs doesn't automatically correlate to being good enough for us. The options after Kompany, Vermalen and the Spurs boys are nothing special, hence Boyata's place in the squad.

    I like him, he does the foundations of defending well, but he's a liability at times and it's been shown on a good few occasions. I'd give him a new contract but I would also be absolutely looking to improve on him. Ajer is a better player at 20 and green as a centre half and player.

    He played well, but I guarantee no matter how well he plays in the next game, as soon as kompany is back he is the one that gets dropped

    Totally agree with you. Would be great to see him sign a new deal and stay long term at Celtic.
