Olivier Ntcham

I think Ntcham and Christie should get a run together with Mcgregor in Brown's role, I don't think we'd have as much of a problem against packed defences.

 

Last season we were at our best in a 352 with Ntcham in the 10 role though.

 

Griff being out has somewhat scuppered the 3-5-2 at the moment.

Lennon seems reluctant to go with Klimala as replacement, maybe once Ajeti is up to speed we could go back to it?

 

Hes a total * tease!

I totally believe he is best midfielder in the league, I just want him to believe it and show it every week too.

 

The press conference the other day spoke volumes imo, I can’t see Griffiths playing for us again.

 

He's definitely 4th choice behind Ajeti and Klimala now.

 

I'll stick my neck out and say I think he is the most technically gifted CM Celtic have. On his day he is an absolute machine but his inconcistency worries me. He'll do it for 3 matches then go missing for 7. Whether thats down to a lack of a good solid run in the team or an attitude issue - I'm not sure. Ntcham on an off day is extremely frustrating especially when we all know what he is technically capible of. A good run in the team along with good form will tear that lot apart and lead us to the 10, My preference would be what we seen tonight rotation (not outright replacement) with Broony and Cal Mac slotting into that role giving Ntcham the freedom, Id be interested to see how well he can link up with Eddy had he been given Mois role tonight.

 

Christie
Ntcham Mcgregor

Would like to see this more, brown can take it a bit easier this year especially at home.

 

Christie's shot to goal ratio from last season is surely unsustainable, so inevitably when that drys up I think more and more people will get frustrated including Ryan himself.

What’d he say?

 

It’s on YouTube, but he looks rather * offed answering questions about Griffiths constantly.

 

Not a chance in * lennon won't start brown on Saturday, Lennon not a big rotator either so ntcham very well may start Saturday but it will be square peg in round hole and he will play ahead of Christie in the 10. Maybe if we played brown sitting and McGregor and ntcham both moving further forward together like a 4141

Decisions aren't taken on hypothetical drops in form though, he was directly involved in 1/4 of our league goals last season.

If his numbers drop then he will know there are others at the club ready to take his spot. For the time-being though, it would be lunacy to drop our 2nd most productive player last season.

 

Makes sense to be honest.

 

Aye it does, but watch the interview.

 

Jesus Christ!

 

Not suggesting he should be dropped for such a reason but if Lennon has or wants to squeeze ntcham in it would probably at Christie's expense, that wouldn't be my choice but thats what I think may happen

Wouldn’t look too much into that one. Personally I think it’s more the repeating himself that’s * him off rather than Griffiths as a subject but I could be wrong, just the way I’m seen it.

In the same presser he seemed * off when asked about Duffy as he, like all managers hates talking about players from other clubs.

 

If he could improve his shooting then he could easily play the 10 for us.

Too often when the ball breaks to the edge for him, he puts the laces through and it ends up in row Z.

I think he'd be better suited in the RCM role, with McGregor dropping slightly deeper to get more use out of Oli's longer range passing.
