You’re on crack if you think Brown was the worst player in a Celtic shirt. Bitton was horrific and entirely to blame for the first goal. He’s playing centre half. Why is he chasing the ball on the wing when we’ve got a wing back and midfielder there already?
Christie saw a lot of the ball but never once put a good ball into the box. Rogic was anonymous. Brown was atleast looking for the all all day.
Got your point mate. But I wish to elaborate a few things here. Yes, Bitton was at fault, he shouldn’t have allowed the cross at the first place. He was too slow to recover as well. But did you see Elhamed’s positioning there? He was nowhere! It’s a collective failure and Bitton, a player who does not have much pace in his game, should never be deployed in a back three, that too on the right where you have a wingback who is more inclined towards attacking high up the pitch than covering the ground behind. It’s a tactical miscalculation from Lennon.
Also, for me, Brown is done. He was trying, he always does, there’s never been any doubt over his commitment but he is simply too slow to play such deep in modern football. Each time Christie was running through the middle, Brown was being beaten far too easily. Better to deploy Bitton there and rest Brown at times. It’s not his fault, you just need to manage his minutes now.
I was just looking for this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what’s the Google’s issue that does not rank this type of informative websites closer to the top. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
Many thanks for posting this, It?s just what I was researching for on bing. I?d so much comparatively hear opinions from a person, barely than an organization internet page, that?s why I like blogs so significantly. Many thanks!
