although we struggled a bit with Christie after the break as he was the only Celtic player who lifted his game after the restart.
he's been the only Celtic player trying to lift the game in both our away games so far
was impressed with United, especially the younger boys and very impressed with Mellons post match interview however I do think we deserved to win
also 100% disagree with you on the ref, I've listed some awful decisions of lexs post
Mellon always speaks very well.
Delighted with the young guys, especially Neilson. I thought he was shaky in the St Johnstone game and looked a wee bit lost at times, but he's been excellent since then when he's played. He was very composed on the ball.
No doubt that you deserved to win though.
Connolly absolutely deserved to be booked but aside from that I don't think he was terrible. He made bad decisions for both teams at times but generally he did ok.

I thought D Utd played well but never looked like scoring tbh, only one team was ever going to win it, you wont struggle this season Ivan from what I have seen you are more likely to be looking for Europe that worrying about relegation tbh.

I hope so. I think it's a strange start to the season for the whole league as teams seem very hesitant to sign players (apart from Motherwell, and that's not worked out well for them so far).
Get Shankland back and bring in someone to actually give him service and we'll be ok.
Right back looked very good.
Robson done well against Frimpong as well.

A year ago he was a central midfielder, then we converted him to a CB and now he's playing right back.
He just got his higher results and did very well too.
Very pleased with his start and hopefully he continues in this form until his inevitable transfer at the end of the season

He's kicked on massively in the last year. I had my doubts about him but he's answered those doubts so far this season.
First half Utd were not for the purists. They set out to nullify Celtic rather than try to get anything out of the game. It worked. 2-3 defenders surrounded Eduoard at all times to stop him turning and playing 1-2's
Second half Utd tried to play good football (which they did) but it played into Celtic's hands. The change of shape helped Celtic and a partner up top for Eddie meant the defence lost focus on Ajeti which IMO is what gave him a few yards.
I said it in an article but 3-5-2 is a must for Celtic now. It stops teams crowding out Eduoard with no other threat.
Christie was always going direct. His end ball wasn't great for a lot of it but he reminded me of Commons when teams sat back he just had a go and the goal came from that attitude.
happy that United look a decent side, Hibs have started the season well and Aberdeen have bounced back after the mini lockdown
hopefully the league stays competitive

Yeah Utd, Aberdeen and Hibs all looking like top 6 teams again
Never seen the game
Delighted we got the goal and I enjoyed watching the highlights and seeing the three United defenders all on the ground gutted when it went in

Ajeti goal. No crowd noise.

"Odsonne, Odsonne f***ing pass it you....."
Great week for Aberdeen after all the shiete that’s been going on
Looked better in the first half yesterday then he shut up shop
Wish he would stop doing that
United looked good and stuck to the job. We desperately need to sign this Finnish winger, not Murphy or Stewart.
Thought the substitutions disrupted our fluency. Why is it we have one guy that takes the corners? I remember Jennison Myrie-Williams was on them, awful. Dillon goes over and puts one in that was the best in years.
I'd like to see Clark in the position of Pawlett and Chalmers right up top with either Appere or Shankland. Will we see Reynolds on the plastic pitch at Killie?
We are still after James Norwood. Although he worked under Mellon at Tranmere he has suffered a bad injury at Ipswich. It just sounds so much like Osman Sow. Living on past reputation, not the here and now.
On a side note I'm sorry to hear that Souttar has done his Achilles again. Didn't rate him as a centre-half mainly for the lack of getting back in time, he just seemed to stroll back. Doesn't make good reading that for a defender both teams he has played for have been relegated. Hopefully he comes back and has more urgency in his play. Prefer him as a defensive midfielder where he can spray the ball about. More his game.
