How important is Joe Ledley?

doesnt misplace passes, has got an eye for goal and is excellent at breaking up play for us.

* player that ledley boy, never quite reached the level wee expected since his move last year

 

when he is playin, without doubt, he is our mvp imo

 

It's a shame we have to leave out Ki or Ledley because both of them bring a lot to the team. If Brown wasn't undroppable, Ledley could play left and we could play our winger on the right.

That's the only solution to getting our three best central midfielders starting.

Ledley is a very important player for us.

 

my opinion has changed a lot as this season has unfolded

Ledley is a very solid central midfielder important to the team for his defending, tackling, ability to keep the ball, his workrate and reading of the game he's the complete midfielder, and in his short time with us has came up with important goals aswell, not a spectacular player but steady as *!

this maybe what we're missing this season as although i love Ki's talent! the more solid and suitable player to our team especially in the SPL is Ledley

 

Think he played well at left mid today

 

Joe is braw

 

I think he is one of the most underrated players in our squad

 

Personally my midfield would be Ledley kayal Ki Forrest, but we know once broony comes back it means that one of Ki/Ledley will be dropped. Even though we play ledley on the left he is a bit like brown on the right but simply better at it, ledley comes inside a lot when either Ki or kayal goes forward and slots into the midfield centre.

Yet he always knows when to be out wide and when to come inside and thats what Brown hasn't yet learn't on the right.

I would like to see celtic try a 4-3-3, it would allow celtic to play like this

---------Ki (DLP)
Kayal --------Ledley

Forrest --Hooper/Stokes--- Bangura

I think kayal, ki, ledley could play well as a midfield trio, Ki as a deep lying playmaker and the players up front would suit that because bangura looks like he will run the channels and so will forrest. I feel sometimes we change the outlook of the team to accommodate certain players.

Celtic have played with 4-4-2 for a long time and currently its the best way we play, but we play 4 in midfield simply so brown can be accommodated on the right. I feel along with ledley we could get the best out of our other players by playing a slightly different system. Just a suggestion because i feel better with all three of ledley, kayal and Ki in the same team.

 

For me, if he keeps up his current form and stays healthy, he could be POTY. He's been unbelievable. A true box-to-box midfielder.
