Luke McCowan

Just isn't a starter..

 

Perfect impact player..

Never grabs a start by the scruff of the neck

 

He is just 6th choice out of 6 and that's fine. Don't start him.

 

Very poor today, the guy is a hard worker but very limited ability, surprised we signed but squad player at best.

 

He’s better than Dundee but not good enough for a pretty poor Celtic. Tries his heart out though.

 

Except the times when he does, including 3 MotM (the most recent of which was the 5-1 league win at Pittodrie in May, as part of a hybrid 1st/2nd string Celtic side), but ok then. We are all aware of the perception as a starter v impact, but statistically his starting numbers are not that bad. Admittedly has not been in great form recently... but who has?

 

He was poor today, particularly his pressing. At times it looked like he can’t run.

 

We still have not got the right midfield mix yet.

McCowan was very good with Dundee, but strikes me best as an impact sub. I don't think he has the best of engines to be a 90 minute man myself.

I'm coming round to the view that our best midfield three could be McGregor Engels and Balikwisha after viewing today's performance.

Balikwisha has that bit of attitude about him, which I love to see in a Celtic player.

He could be the hard man we need in midfield.

 

I'm a big fan but wasn't his best today. Quiet.

 

He is definitely an impact player from the bench..

Especially this season he's looked poor when starting.. I like him, want him to seize his chances when he starts, but doesn't do it enough.. much like, Engels and Bernardo too.

 

I like him but he was dreadful today.

 

There was * all balance in the midfield with him, Hatate and McGregor in there. Gaps everywhere defensively and pressing, a very good attacking player but needs the right player next to him.
