    something tells me that NL knew that he wasnt going to get a centre back in the door, at which point he knew he would have to work with what he had.

    Its not a good idea to criticise these players in the media if he knows they are all he has.
    it was a dismal result, especially given the good first leg result we achieved and that they were not exactly a quality outfit.
    But there is still a lot to play for and one injury and we could well be dependant on Jozo. So nothing to be gained by publicly criticising him and further shooting his confidence.

    In fairness, he has brought in CJ and ElHam.
    But we need one more.

    Just reckon we may be saddled with Joso, cant see him passing a medical.
    When is his contract up?

    I've just watched the highlights. That has to be his last game in a Celtic jersey.

    Jozo lost possession 14 time's on Thursday..

    For a centre back making pretty safe passes, that is disgusting..

    He's the least risky in that Ajer will bring the ball out and Jullien makes adventurous passes forward.....but is still the worst by far..

    I hate the *..

    I'd start bitton or welsh ahead of him at ibrox if elhamed is injured, should never play again.

    I'm always willing to give players the benefit of the doubt and i was like that with Jozo, but that performance on Thursday was one of the worst i've seen from a CB of ours in a long time. We berated Boyata for being a bombscare but he was nowhere near as bad as Jozo is. At least Efe had pace to back him up, jozo is slow as * too

    He's had loads of those game's..

    One of the worst I've ever seen was him at Tynecastle..

    I'm pretty sure it was the 4 nil that stopped our unbeaten run..

    He's had a tendency to be terrible with his distribution. Easy one's he messes up and plays a high number straight out the park. Is rash in the tackle. The amount of time's I've seen him get done with a ball over the top as well. Can look weak as * half the time as well..

    He looks like he's lost pace as well and he was never that quick but looks slow as * now..

    Add in his injuries and being unable to play on plastic pitches and he's useless to us..

    Has had more than enough chances. Better run with young Welsh, cant keep persisting with Joso.

    Has always been prone to injuries and bad games the bad ones are more frequent than the good ones but in the domestic games he can get away with mistakes

    Still gutted by my rage has calmed.

    If Jozo's mistake was a one off, out of character or 'just one of those things' like a bad or unusual bounce then we would all forgive him. Problem is that he does it fairly regularly and in the grand scheme of things he isn't that good a player. Think we have to ship him out if at all possible.Also his fitness seems to be a constant issue

    Someone like Bitton is different, willing to play in a few different positions and seems content to do so. Has had a few injuries but more like bad luck.

    Love Jozo for his tackle on Miller and his goal in the 67th minute wearing the Number 5 shirt. Wish him all the best for the future as long as it aint with us,
    Cannot see any upside in keeping him.
