The new era has finally begun...

The magic era has finally begun...

Magic Zurawski showed us that he is nothing like Brattback, and I've said it all along, once the first goal comes for him, he'll become a star. I had no idea he had so much pace, hassling the defenders the whole time!! Well deserved man of the match, and his header was never offside. Great performance from Boruc too, how confident is he?! Come on the Polish Bhoys!!!!

 

A good performance today but the jury is still out,one good game is not enough to judge him after the few poor ones.

 

FINALLY... )

 

well done magic long may it continue

 

Indeed.

A better performance from everyone - but we are still ropey at the back.

Did anyone else notice how pish Virgo was? We looked much more assured after Lawson replaced him.

Balde looked like his old self - good to see him mauling people again.

 

He played well today because we played to the team strenghts i.e passing, movement, pace.This destroyed mediocre teams. Also, easier one the eye for the paying customer.

 

ehh... WHERE IS YOUR OPTIMISM???

I`m really glad that I KNOW how he could play (not like you, after few games)
but when someone is good player and improve it (just like Magic today) you know since then that HE CAN PLAY LIKE THIS!
And when someone can, it`s impossible to loose it i think.
ps.his play will also depense on Celtic style, couse if We back to "old" style from last few matches no chance to him to improve skills.

pps.What is going on with Hartson??
In this season he scores like always but play like... I never saw so much his games at so low level

 

magic was great today i knew he only needed 1 goal to get him going hopefully he keeps it up i was very impressed with our play down the left hand side with Mo/Beatts and naka all over the place
well done bhoys

 

ahhh. nevermind about Hartson. He is striker, he scores, I`m happy )

 

outstanding performance by zurawski! 3 goals + assist and a couple of great passes and chances. i hope he keeps on playing like that

 

relax with this new era announcement petrov19

i think we will see couple poor/average games and couple good/great games in nearest future
team is building up, we may see progress but to be honest, they need couple more games to understand each other to "play blind"
this must take some time

but im happy after todays game
not just the score and zuraw and naka finally scoring...
i just loved what happened after every goal - whole team cheers together, including beattie, hartson, zuraw - have u seen how friendly they are? sure they compete with each other for place in attack formation, but its obvious they are team and they play for a win in the first place
and strachan letting zurawski play whole game and takin him off at the end to let him cheer with his good performance and effectivness
i believed in strachan because he believed in zurawski - u must be very confident and know sth about football to resist media, let zurawski play inspite he couldnt score in couple games and keep scoring beattie and maloney on the bench..
and it looks like camara aint that weak like he seemed to be on the start, time will tell
looks like strachan may have an idea after all

this is my source of optimism, not just the score
i think bhoys - whole team - are in progress
but remember its never straight line and this is just a start

 

he only got 2 m8

 

Hopefully Strachan picks his team on merit, therefore, as this was by far our best performance of the season this team should play the next game.

 

I think he means the goal that Zurawski scored which was ruled offside, but in reality, It wasn't.

 

oh rite well def 3 then cos it was never offside what a finnish anyway

 

petrov for captain but lennon still playing from start
lennon will just have to take it on the chin i just dont think he is captain material to hot headed

 

Glad to see Zurawski get his goals, his movement has always been good, and with Nakamura's range of passing, I believe he will get better. I've already stated that I feel Zurawski will also create a lot of opportunities for others, and his run for Nakamura's goal was class, also a good finish for his second, running on to a Hartson knock-on, this I believe will be one of his strengths. Virgo was a bit out of sorts, but it's only his first game, can't really count his 3 mins against the Huns, Camara had another assured performance, and Telfer and McManus look like they have made their positions their own. Balde was good today, but rumours are he's off to Fulham. Nakamura was a little quiet first half, but on the ball his skill and passing are brilliant, and it won't be too long before one of those free-kicks goes in.
Could this be the result that kick-starts our season?
Great to see Boruc save Burchill's penalty, never liked him even when he was at Celtic, his head was full of mince, thinking he was better than Celtic, looks like he's found his level, relegation fodder!
A good performance today rather than great, but loads of encouraging signs, Lennon and Thompson will struggle to get back into the team, Sutton will too, unless Bobo leaves, really happy for Zurawski and Strachan.

 

It was only that what Zurawski realy can do, play football and score. Wait he will be better!!! Hail Hail Celtic

 

Zuraw said to polish newspapers 2 weeks ago about Hartson [that he didn`t know how Hartson friendly can be and that it`s not true that he don`t have technic skills. Summary "I really like this man" said Magic]

you must remember that on trainings Zuraw play very well so Strachan saw him. But of course-it`s good that papers or supporters don`t make him change his mind.

ps.CELTIC FOREVER!!!!

pps.good week for polish-scottish friendship
Malkowski stopped huns + Boruc saves penalty + Zuraw ... + Tarachulski (dunf.) didn`t score today

 

who ever said that after he got the first goal they would keep flowing was spot on, (a polish fan?) he got a first, a second, (disallowed, *...) and a thrid! + he unselfishly gave Naka his first amazing goal. Zurawski had an outstanding second half and really found his feet. it seemed 2 me that 2day he had more room 2 run and show off, gd play from the bhoys all round, especially Zurawski and Boruc!! + bobo, and that was the best Stan Petrov performance iv seen in ages, well done, ur the man stan!! mind u one gd performance doent mean that we r unstopable, (id love 2 think that thou) but realistically there were still mistakes made, but i think its safe to say Celtic r back 2 playing the way i love seeing them, well in bhoys keep it up!!
