    He’s been dross for weeks. Slow, unfit and shocking on the ball.

    Worst half from a mf in a long time. Disgustingly bad.
    He has been miles off it for too long. He offers nothing, has zero pace, zero athleticism, can't tackle, is one footed.
    He hits the odd good long shot now and again, but that's it.

    Really don't get what AP is seeing in this midfield with him and Rogic. They lose the ball too much, both slow as an 80 year old with arthritis and do absolutely nothing defensively.

    A goal every other game doesn't make up for losing the midfield battle every single game.

    Heads completely gone since the mistake. Second guessing everything.

    I don't think its a case of what Ange sees, I think its a case of having to play with what we got.

    He's turning in to the new Ryan Christie of last year. Just purely awful

    He's just not a great player. Churned out some embarrassing performances this season. Looks way off the required level.

    Too interested in his hair.

    Seriously though, not good enough at a high level. No pace, can't find a killer pass, can't tackle.

    If he couldn't score from distance he'd be looking average.

    Hopefully benched, I don't get the hype, he's been pish at set pieces and takes them all? What happens in training do they practice set pieces? That tonight from him just amplifies his mediocre play on the bigger stage, who steps in fir him?
    Rogic Turnbell and Mcarthy plus Biton? We are desperate for a creative midfielder.

    Can’t be arsed trying to find it but I saw the other day that about 90% of Turnbull’s goals, for us and Motherwell, have been at home against bottom 6 teams. His record in the big/tough games and venues is a farce.

    And seemingly he has about 3 or 4 assists in his last 30 or so games for us.

    Pathetic numbers.

    Lacks energy and desire, pulls off the odd great pass but his general play is lacklustre and going through the motions.

    I think he's a good player but we are expecting too much from him too soon. He isn't at the level we can expect him to change games in Europe he's still got lots to learn and I think he's struggling with Anges style.

    * against livi, * against united now * again with the potentially the worst mistake i've ever seen in a celtic shirt. this has been his big chance to establish himself and he's flopped spectacularly.

    Doesn’t help that Ange basically has him playing as a winger when we’re in attack.

    Embarrassingly bad again. Fed up seeing him run about shattered and taking 30 minutes to control a ball and pass it.
