They all seem to be moaning that Reece James is playing in midfield, so I presume he’s in the inverted fullback Ricardo role.
Sooner or later they’ll realise that ze system is all that matters.

No doubt more proof to the deluded wankers up North that the mighty Celtic would challenge for the Premier League title if only the scared English would let them in.

I think you’re right that he did for a short while but he definitely isn’t now and hasn’t done for a while. I know the current manger and his dad (the owner of the club).

Do you think BR would consider a swap, Kasper for Ward? It would improve Celtic’s Celtic balance.

Nope, finished 4-1. Penalty in the 89th minute.

No need for a swap, BR likes to have 2 number 1s, remember!....
Straight swap for O'Reilly and everyone is happy.

I know it's pre season & thats exactly what these games are for but **** me Chelsea players don't have the first clue how to play in that system do they?
I guess it's lucky for them that after the opener against Pep Prime their first few games look pretty soft.

On Trey Nyoni from the Times today
While Jones’s evening was disappointingly cut short it gave an opportunity to Trey Nyoni, the attacking midfielder who turned 17 last month.
Nyoni has stood out to the club’s staff since his transfer from Leicester City last year and earned his first-team debut last season, becoming Liverpool’s youngest debutant in the FA Cup when he came on as a substitute aged 16.
And based on his showing on Friday night, Slot might want to start considering how he can use Nyoni this season. “You can see his quality,” Slot said. “He needs some time to grow to play at Premier League level but he’s an interesting player.”
Jones was solid enough in the middle but Nyoni really caught the eye after replacing him. He was able to dictate the play, slowing the pace down when needed and triggering attacks with excellent through balls that broke the lines.
He exuded confidence, could find his way out of tight spaces, and did not look out of place in a first-half XI that was full of first-team experience. Regardless of the extent of Jones’s injury, he showed enough in his 45-minute cameo to earn himself another start on this tour.
