Originally published at: Pat Bonner hits out at decision to drop Celtic hero Kyogo for Giorgos Giakoumakis
BBC pundit and former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner has criticised the decision to drop Kyogo Furuhashi for Giorgos Giakoumakis on Saturday. Celtic offered minimal threat against Livingston yesterday as we slipped to a poor 0-0 draw at Parkhead. The stalemate meant the Bhoys spurned the opportunity to go top of the table for 24 hours…
Given the way the manager wants to play no player will play every game. Looking after Kyogo will be a priority.
Big Pat tends to state the obvious with hindsight. I think our new number 7 will come good.
I understand why the manager wants to focus on his team and not others.
Failing to understand rivals strengths and weaknesses is a serious gap
We played St Johnstone who played the same way as Livi and many people didn’t see the value of Rogic in that game as he was the player who always tried to take the ball on the turn and get running at their packed defence which then dictates a strikers run or angle.
Far to often the ball was passed across the park never with any forward drive on Saturday
An early goal with a two striker set up might have given Kyogo a 45 minute second half rest.
How many nothing passes did we get from Bitton in the match when used in midfield.
