Motherwell v Celtic - Saturday 10 August - all comments here

Our midfield has been non-existent for most of the game, other than Olivier Ntcham. CalMac has been been well below average. It's beginning to feel like a couple of those games towards the end of last season where we looked like we were playing without a midfield. Bolingoli has grown into the game, but he was atrocious at the beginning. Griffiths has suffered from a lack of delivery, due to the fact that our playmakers aren't, well, play-making. We need balls in behind the Murderwell defence. Forrest has looked off kilter and also a bit greedy. Morgan has been getting into good positions and his pace looks dangerous. Jullien has had a couple of shaky moments but is otherwise fine. Bitton has been immense defensively, while Ajer has been immense going forward and defensively.

It's never easy to play these hammerthrowers, but we need a big improvement in midfield and defence in second half to secure victory.
 
If we win the midfield battle, which we're losing at the moment (other than Ntcham), we can get balls in behind and fully unleash the Griff. But what a free kick. Andy Walker wants to blame the Murderwell keeper, but it was just a great free kick. The few moments we have looked dangerous is nice little bits of interplay in and around the box.
 
Looking disjointed n doubting our passes. Most on form player on the park but we stop giving Jamsie the ball. Expecting more from Morgan, stole a shirt on wed showing a bit more but seems to be trying too hard.
Great goals from the Hoops but defence is worrying to say the least.

COYBIG ?
 
We’re really not up for this at the moment in spite of being ahead.....lethargic and no bite.....big lift needed from a lot of players
 
Poor first half. Two great goals though. Need to step up. Morgan an empty jersey and Boli a liability again. Midfield getting swamped and passing not good enough to lose them. Hopefully step up in second.

Morgan is playing ok. Ntcham is poor - seeing a lot of the ball but delivering nothing.

Boli getting forward when should be passing it on to Lewis. Lewis not helping boli out either by looking for it. Julien looking a bit twitchy too.
