    I've noticed there has been a lack of discussion about dropping Anthony Stokes? This guy far too often just posts missing in games. Way too often am I seeing a disgruntled, selfish wee player continuously moaning at his team mates whilst at the same time offering absolutely nothing to the team going forward. Aye, he has the odd game where he scores a goal but it's just not enough. I'd expect any striker playing in our team to score a goal given the amount of chances we create. I expect more, I want to see players in it for the team and not just their own starting place.

    Heh, I was expecting a Ledley bash. How is Stokes Mr. Invisible when he appears on the score-sheet so often? :bbpd:

    He was our top assist maker last season.

    stokes has been one of our better players so far this year and certainly our best striker. who would you suggest we play instead as we really dont have any other options.

    he's only interested when Hooper plays. Stokes on his own/ out left/ with Sammy is just a terrible , terrible player.

    The best out of a bad bunch at the minute if there is one person that doesn't deserve stick it's Stokes, seems like people have turned against every single player we have got.

    If you consider the huns have got jelavic and we have stokes then it's looking grim. 1/3 , or 2/3 good performances at Celtic isn't good enough. To be a Celtic player you have to be at the top of your game every game. We just can't continue to have these isolated off days. It cost us last year in the long run. Yesterday was a prime example of how we haven't progressed at all.

    Stokes cannot work alone. That is his flaw.

    Every player has an off game/period. Calm down and think. Would you rather play murph instead of stokes?

    we need much better options up front if we have any aspiration to do anything this season. Ras, stokes, samaras, murphy are all duds.

    you hit it dead on. he is our best chance(now that hooper is out for the time being) of putting the ball into the back of the net.
