Don't really like to be too critical of young lads In pre season friendlies but JWE has clearly been targeted by Celtic as a liability as the game has gone on. Not great. The result is meaningless but the players are out there to impress.

Feel like they've targeted Rico as well with his less than great pace

O'Reilly... from the sublime to the ridiculous in a split second

Holding on to ball for too long.

They’re finding out the difference between youth ball and first team. You can’t dwell on the ball for long.

Celtic playing like it's a CL tie.

We're treating it as getting match fitness up.

 

[Ruzzles]

Rico getting passed like a cone again and again. Really can't keep up with pace and schifting directions.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Good thing we have a strong bench to change things in the second half.

 

[waspish]

Is Doyle carrying a knock? Surely he's a much better option than Mbete or Wilson-Esbrand?

Watched the training he didn't look fit

 

[Jung the foreman]

Are these the academy players people are saying should be given a chance in the premier league. FFS

 

[MCFC1993]

It is tough for our full backs, essentially playing 1 v 1 where their attacker has 50 yards to run at them. The match is fun to watch though, attacking youngsters doing well.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Not many of the young lads will be breaking into the first team on this showing.
