A footballer should be able to play any tactics, that is why they are professional and get paid lots.

Strachan is a good manager, and I hope he can get the best out of Celtic



But Balde has not been playing football since he wanted to leave in january, he may have lost us the league because of it. time to let him go IMO.

Varga started out great but is flaging now, what is his problem, is it because martin has gone? Martin was great No doubt, but he was bought to play football for the club, not the man.

Mo Camara, does not even sit in defence although he is a left back! why? slow and is not got a good defensive eye. why did we buy him?

We need good solid defence to go any further in europe and dare I say it.... the league.

I am fine with the keepers, although I would have Marshall as second goalkeeper, and thte new Boruc dude as first pick.

a decent midfield, in Nakamura, Petrov, McGeady (although he is greedy, never plays an easy ball, and runs into trouble). let lennon go, he is a bit slow, good eye, but lacks essential pace. Thompson has lost it totally, a few nice crosses is all he has left.

we have enough strikers, but I hope strachan can find the perfect team here, wether it be Maloney + Hartson/ majiec (or whatever his name is) + aliadier (french boy) or even Maloney, Aliadier with sutton sitting just behind, who knows, we have good guys who can score.

My main problem is with footballers who get paid sh*t loads of money to play a sport most of us wish we could play better, but they don't seem to perform anymore. they are professional. they should be playing for their wages, not when it suits them. I would punish the ones responsible by placing thtem in the youth team until they understood that they are a team player and will play any tactic they are given, and play where they are placed (obviously they have better positions).

there is no I in team.
