nvager 498 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Whittaker is not a good prospect in defence just now. I really hope Bougherra is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOLUWDC 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Slightly off topic but do Celtic have any wide players that can hurt us ? Maloney and McGeady are out and Nakamura never turns up so maybe we should go with Whittaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer 124 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Personally I thought that Whittaker had a good game today, he was always looking to attack and defended rather well. His crossing did let him down at times but on the whole it was better than the rest of the team who struggled to get any sort of delivery in. However so long as big magic is back at centre back then I will be happy to see either Broadfoot or Whittaker at right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWWBK 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'd go with Whittaker. As someone else pointed out, with McGeady and Maloney missing, Celtic don't have any out and out attackers that can really run at our fullbacks. Whittaker 'struggled' last week and to a lesser extent today because he was up against Alan O'Brien and Craig Conway; two out and out old fashioned wingers who love nothing more than to run at full backs. Nakamura, though? Nah, that's not his game. Whittaker could be a major, major weapon for us in an attacking sense next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERRZO 5 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Defensively I thought Whitty had a good game today, put in a few stinking crosses but at least he got forward and into these positions and kept going. He also put in a few cracking balls into the box aswell and at times he was working the right hand side on his own today as Davis was non-existant!!!

docspiderman 1,248 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 All the few chances Hibs had came from Whittaker stupidly losing possesion. Dicey defensively and will cost us just like he regularly did with Hibs when he faces a half decent attack. Distribution was abysmal and decision making and final ball shocking. I fail to se how anyone can be happy with his performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
