Match Thread Celtic v Leicester

[Jeff]

Half time 0-0

Not a bad match, more competitive than a typical friendly. Zieler looks good.

 

[Brown Nose]

HT thoughts.

Zieler looks good. Solid handling and his positioning from their free kick was much better than Schmeichels
Amartey isn't a right back. I think everyone is still trying to work out what he is. Decent player but where?
Hernandez looks okay(ish). Nice long throw but positioning a bit dodgy and left a dopey leg out for the free kick
Morgan - solid as ever
Chilwell will be our best left back in about six months
Mendy likes pressing and his passing is superior to Kante. He isn't a replacement though, different sort of player and there is a gaping whole in the team without Kante
Drinkwater is the best player on the pitch
Albrighton is playing like he ended last season, increasingly looking out of his depth around his team mates
Gray has been a bit disappointing
Mahrez rusty but brilliant in flashes
Ulloa - same old

Wow BN, wtf were you expecting from the game?

Wow

What a class act

Super goal

 

[Jeff]

Nice.

An opportunity to moan.

Mahrez is just pure class. Arsenal can look on in envy at that.

Very impressed by Chilwell. Looks good in defence, stronger physically than I'd have expected and gets forward well (and at the right moment).

Looking forward to seeing Musa

Zieler would have saved that.

 

[bocadillo]

Shilton would have saved it

Banks would have held it.

Casino Jimmy would have been updating his Facebook.

Riyad is nothing short of fantastic. Applauded off by the Celtic fans.

 

[City Fan]

Hopefully Pulis isn't watching this. He may withdraw the £9m bid...

Penalties it is.

Is this our first penalty shootout since Cardiff? Perhaps we had one in a league cup recently but if we did I don't remember it.

Hull last season. Doh.

Lost to Hull last season.

They're having the penalties at the wrong end. Cheating ref.

 

[Graz]

Amazing how easy players slot home penalties when there's no real pressure!
