    I'd have no issue with it.

    This myth that Johansen somehow can't play deeper has grown arms and legs. Started because he was supposedly '*' at the start of the Season playing there when the whole team was struggling.

    He's more effective from an attacking point of view further up the field but he 100% can play deeper and play well as well.

    Agreed. While he has clearly produced his best performances for Celtic in the advanced role, he played as one of two deeper midfielders for Stromsgodset (and Norway?).

    He can fill in that position no problem at all.

    Taking your POTY out his best position when we have other players available to fill in beside Brown is stupid though in my opinion. As it was against St. Johnstone, a game we went on to lose, and Johansen had very little impact on the game.

    I agree with this. He doesn't have as big an impact on a game from a deeper role but he still plays the position well.

    I would always play him in the advanced role whenever possible because the influence he has on games from that position is invaluable.

    Krissy bhoy popped the question to his missus last week it seems. No chance of him escaping Glasgow now he has a ball & chain attached. :icon_mrgreen:

    Back to his old 'shoot from anywhere' self last night.

    The effort he had from almost the corner flag which hit the side netting summed him up.

    I think he is an enigma. Him playing means Johansen gets moved back or he is outwide taking a place of GMS or Forrest the now and for the team that is the worst thing possible. To be honest him Stokes and Forrest should be the back up 3 to Johansen GMS and Armstrong.

    Guy will never be properly appreciated here and it baffles me . He does the business in countless big games and gets the praise he deserves for about an hour after the game finishes . Then a couple of days later * are saying they aren't sure about him .

    Commons should be back up to GMS and Armstrong ? Guy is our best attacking player and our biggest threat every time he plays . Them boys from Dundee UTD have been here all of ten minutes and Armstrong hasn't looked overly convincing at all . The Pundits/presenters say it every match that Commons is out most important attacking threat yet the fans just dont get it .

    Commons was pretty poor this season. He's been a lot better since he signed his new contract.

    Wish he didn't shoot as much.

    He has a belter of a shot but there are plenty of times a pass elsewhere is the better option.

    I know if 'you don't shoot you don't score' but he takes that phrase to a whole new meaning sometimes.:56:

    Agree with that. A lot more so in recent times. I dont remember him being this bad.
