How would you feel about Nir Biton as DM?
Don't really see him as a obvious terrier type, maybe a bit too too tall and not solid enough engine for the role, even Ajer at a young age jogs back blowing a bit after a surging run, where as the likes of Broony and Keane in their prime were already back in a defensive position, can run and tackle all day if needed.
Sadly Broony is getting on and not the player he once was, anymore than the best in the world are as they age, Lenny needs to act in a no win situation.
Bitton is more a elegant player but does seem committed so he's the obvious choice if no one is signed, and it seems things are all talk at the moment.
Has this new scout actually had his hand on any signing so far? think all were targets before he signed.
Thought Broony was poor on Sunday, slow and off the pace looked tired and hot and he was clumsy for the penalty and very unlike him made a few poor passes early on.
He's doing too much and Lenny seems to have no back up plan so far or more concerning a concept of a solid defensive midfield line, just has Forrest and RC tracking back better than BR tended to have them, that works against poor teams but it won't work at the fixed sevco hatefest games or against any genuine decent side in Europe playing fairly.
Think Ajer could go midfield and possibly him and Nir together could work.
I hope Lenny is bold at the hatefest as he must surely see the past 3 games they have run over us, Broony is not given a second.
If Elhamed is fit, I'd like to see Bitton or Ajer into midfield next to a Europa rested Broony.
On the day this new fraud king fixed game plan of no Celtic fans, has become a far right brit nationalist cesspit extreme and to be fair to any human being
and 10 times more so for a Celtic player, a extremely difficult place to play the game and not be intimidated off your game.
None of MON teams faced this fix.
Lenny must know that he needs to change tactics somehow for this match or it is going to be a given 6 points for them.
If we get any kind of result its a win, but a Celtic win would be extremely destructive for them. So they have the pressure, but the past 3 we just played into their hands.
For the day if needed, line 5 across the midfield and earplugs handed out keep it simple, their defence is not good, we need to show that up and silence these zombies.
