    I don't even like Gordon but he was a far better keeper than this clown.

    Its like playing an any man'r and your mates letting it in so hes oot goals.
    I can't remember a keeper ever being so bad.
    Craig Gordon would have been a better choice.

    And Marshall Is better than all of them. Apparently could have had him for a few hundred thousand. Some weird signing decisions made in the summer.

    He's full of confidence coming out at corners to clear the ball or taking it into his feet as well but when it comes to anything else he doesn't seem to have any at all. Says to me that there's communication issues or a severe lack of trust with the rest of the team. Doesn't explain his lack of saving shots though.

    The keeper situation is a big part of where we are. Commanding keepers project confidence to the players in front of him. Our defenders know when they make a mistake that * won’t bail them out. Look back to last year the amount of big saves foster made after mistakes from our defence which I think was still * at times under the snake.

    I think he's a top GK, only thing that's wrong with him is he keeps letting goals in, apart fae that ....

    He looks * scared with that team in front of him and don’t blame him. Even if he went left for the free kick I doubt he would of stopped it, from that range that was a world class free kick.

    Still though just doesn’t look confident in himself to stop shots or command the box. His only good attribute is distribution so far.

    This exact rationale means that Duffy should be given more slack.

    Barkas should be judged on his performance at Celtic. And thus far, it’s been very poor. Guy hasn’t put a single foot right, but he’s had a few bad moments at the very, very least.

    New keeper needed big style here.

    First goal, the FK taker’s body is positioned to put it over the wall, hence why he started going to his right, it was just excellently hit. The Milan lad’s a great FK specialist. The defence sold him down the river for the other three, you saw him going mental at the defence for it.

    55 years I've been watching Celtic, if he's not the worst he is definitely in the top two poor keepers I can think of. Record fee for him, scandalous.

    After the gaffer’s post match interview, he shall now be referred to as ‘Barky’ and ‘Barky’ only.

    Could the mods please change the thread title when they get a chance. Many thanks

    Yea, see tbh, anyone blaming him for the third goal is just scapegoating him. Elhamed was a joke for that one and the second one you have defenders * running into eachother, keystone cops stuff. Yes the free kick is his fault.

    FK was Christie’s fault, he gave away the foul.

    Yea but Barkas taking that step to his right, I can’t justify that at all.
