Nir Bitton

Comes on, almost sells the jersey with an under hit pass that should've seen them through on goal. Then gets passed about like he isn't there out of possession from a 10 man championship side..

Imposter..

 

Decent enough tonight.

 

Bring him into the starting 11

 

He needs to be starting in the centre of midfield. Time for Turnbull to be dropped

 

Would try him in CM on Sunday with McGregor.

 

why is he still a celtic player seriously, he needs to go along with Boli in january.

 

a far better option than mc carthy

 

I don't rate him or like him but I'd play him on Sunday..

We lack height and he can pick a pass, with McGregor infront of him we may be able to break the sheep down. Rogic as well so that would be 3 player's who can beat or press or work it in a tight space..

I don't know. Everything else in there just isn't working and the sheep will deffo overrun us if we play Turnbull with Rogic..

Edit: I originally said McGregor as the 6 but that would mean an immobile two 8s in Bitton and Rogic. Might as well stick Bitton in the 6 (isn't great there but worth another try for now) and let McGregor be the leg's to go box to box and give Rogic some more help going forward..

 

Totally agree, as much as I can’t stand Bitton, playing Rogic and Turnbull is just * us up

 

Think the sensible option is to drop turnbull for him.

 

How bad must it be that most of myself included would actually have him back in the team. Depressing he's another complete diddy as well but he's a more defensive diddy

 

Bitton is not the * answer, big shitebag that does nothing with his height.

I’d rather see Lawal brought in and ragdoll * like he’s been doing in the colts.

 

ntcham would get a game this year too

 

He’s about as effective as his lookalike Jeff Goldblum trying to stick a T-Rex in a headlock…

 

no-one worried about him getting roughed up a bit ?

i mean he is a good passer but i think hes easily got at and expect ferguson and brown to be riling him up and trying to bully him off his game

 

It's a pointless debate, because Ange is playing the same 3 as tonight.

 

If Ange can't see that 1. Turnbull needs dropped and 2. He isn't a number 8 then he should just remove himself from his job and give it to someone who knows what they're doing

 

Honestly can’t c how bitton is getting overlooked at playing the dfm role that we are crying out just. He has his faults and has let us down in some big games in recent seasons. But his biggest attribute is he’s mobile enough to break up play and good on the ball and could be the man to transition the ball from deep to further up the park. Playing a more advanced roll would take the bad decision making that hes prone to when he’s not the last line of defence. Would like to c him get a run in the team as it could be the answer to our midfield problems even if it a short term fix.

 

That's him on 240 appearances for Celtic just one ahead of Rogic

 

I agree that Bitton should be played at DMF, in order to unleash McGregor's potential. Bitton doesn't lose any qualities when played at DMF- in fact his lack of pace chains him to the role he's chosen anyway, in his youth. Meanwhile, McGregor's movement is wasted at DMF.
