Had a wee pop at Gamboa and Ntcham midweek and feel kinda bad about that it's not really the Faithfull through and through celtic ethos . but I must say big Craig Gordon's jacket must be on a shortly peg. Now I I believe he is a fantastic shot stopper but a tad vulnerable at Cross balls. Also the modern goalie has to be almost Franco Baresi like which the big man isn't. Goalies are employed to save the ball with there hands but his place must be in jeopardy. any thoughts boys.

Mally : Got to say in Gamboa I don’t think he is up to our standard, got to move him on and fill it.

I doubt very much if C G is on a shortly peg, even though I don't know what you mean by shortly peg .
CG is doing a very good job at saving shots which is his number one priority. We don't know what his role is for crosses, the goal keeping coach may prefer the crosses from set pieces to be dealt with by defenders, or maybe by Gordon we just don't know .
His clearances have improved somewhat from the start of last season, but opponents can pressurise high up the park and make things v difficult for the keeper .
If Dembele has a wee run in the team, he will give Gordon a better target further up field and so maybe he can mix it up playing short or going long .
I noticed the brilliant Manchester Utd didn't handle a long ball from opposing keeper today.

Chris he cost us a goal on wed night and against hibs he gave the ball away by miskicking 3 or 4 times better teams would have punished us. regardless whether we have a big centre or not if a pass ain't on he should be clearing his lines a can imagine O'Neil putting up with the mistakes he's making with the ball at his feet.

Lol. shortly peg . predictive text Old man Chris . should have read shoogly ( shakey ) . keepers passing about the back terrifies me. Gone are the days when your Packie Bonnars would score Scottish cup goals at Berwick with a good old fashioned hump up the park.

If shot stopping was his only job he'd be safe, however his distribution and erratic kicking is causing us problems and how many times do we see him standing static at corners watching balls roll past him because his positioning, organising and reactions are not good enough?
He has also been partial to rushes of blood and charging into forwards and mistiming challenges. Apart from that he's OK.

{Ed007's Note - I've reeled in my criticism of Gordon this year simply because there's nothing more to say and no point arguing the same points over and over again. Craig Gordon is a great shot stopper but he's a poor 'keeper in the modern sense of the game where the 'keeper has a lot more to do.
He's too good to be a No.2 at Celtic but he's good enough to be a No.1 at another SPFL club or even an English Championship one but I don't think his wife would fancy that.}

Ok he made a mistake and a goal eventually was scored big deal. LG and P R didn't score or create anything, on either Wednesday night or Saturday, should we drop both of them .
On Saturday's Lustig's man was running 100 yds with the ball Lustig couldn't keep up with him, should we have taken Lustig off or did B R do the right thing and leave Lustig on to score two first half goals.
We play a team game, sometimes a player might be a we bit off his game and his team mates cover up for him and give him a wee hand . Other times players like Gordon pull off a string of saves, covering up for defenders .
Players arn't robots and we are not yet at the standard that our whole team will play well enough to beat the super teams.
