    Was much better yesterday and I think Tierney not being there actually had something to do with it.

    I've said it before but for me the reason he has been coming inside so often is to compensate for Tierney on the outside and it's been hampering his overall game. When he stays wide and mixes it up is when he is at how very best.

    Last season they seemed to link up a lot better IMO.

    Tell ye what, Scotty bhoy and anyone else can dress up his performances as much as they want with stats, but he's still been absolutely pish for the most of this season.

    Time for him to have a spell on the sidelines until he get his heed oot his *.

    Would have Johnston in before him the way he's been.

    How anyone can point the finger of blame at Sinclair is completely beyond me? He's been an outstanding player for us.

    He was outstanding for us last season. He's been well off the pace this term however, even if his stats may not show that. Anyone paying attention to Celtic would be able to tell you that Sinclairs been generally poor this season.

    He hardly deserves a ton of blame, as our recent poor form is down mostly to the back four and GK. But he's been off it this season for sure. Could do with some rest/competition.

    Been flat out riding in other words.

    No wonder he looks exhausted.

    Who could blame him in fairness.

    Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, but you don’t just drop a player with his goal threat unless we have a suitable back up, which we don’t.

    He played like this for large periods last season as well, but it was totally overlooked because he was scoring for fun. Which is fair enough, but it annoyed me even then.

    Gotten to the stage that if he's not scoring, he's absolutely useless, but still, in this league, too much of a threat to take off for an inferior player.

    40 goals in 80 games for us as a WINGER (better than most striker's returns at the club over the years), and top scorer this season on 15 in 30. Too important to drop.

    Still very much worth his place in the team. Like you pointed out, we have much bigger concerns and confidence comes from a solid back-line mainly.

    How can he be poor?

    15 goals, 11 Assists, gave tierney some defensive support in Rosenborg and has continually created chances! More goals and assists than this time last year, what more do people want???
