Shifty
Dinna want to be a soor puss here but he's been the one concern I've seen up to now.
I get the feeling that he's becomining less and less of a team player and at times, it looks as if it's all about him.
Continual bad choices when he has the ball and a tendency to try to do everything himself worries me.
Dinna get me wrong, love him and he's superb but I'm concerned that the team spirirt could be affected if he continues in this manner.
Or am I paranoid?

Re: Shifty
Totally agree...I've noticed this for the last 6 months
Been a constant debate been my beloved bro 
st obswell and i...its been chucked back at me because of my sticking up for BG (possibly right) but there's something no right with the big fella imho
Constantly trying the impossible, looking like he can't be arsed a times, not playing for the team like his mind is troubled
Wish he'd snap out of it as he's as good as anything we've EVER had up top if on his game imho
Somethings no right though

Re: Shifty
Just needs a goal I think (hope).
I'm actually more concerned with Armstrong just now to be honest. He's been nonexistent in the 2 ganes so far.

Re: Shifty
People also keep harping about him needing to be up top...i think he's wasted up on his own at times getting clattered fae centre halfs...let mario take them out and tell shifty to play in the hole and turn and run...link up and graft

Re: Shifty
Cannae believe anyone thinks he's any different now. He's always been like that, and it could be what's holding/held him back. When he's not in stroppy mode, he is superb, but there's just a bit too much strop for me. My big hope is that the challenge of Supermario forces Nads to become the superb player, that he is, most of the time, and the stroppy player to be sublimated.

Re: Shifty
Based on the two games I think he is better suited playing in the front three.
Lone striker is a thankless task at times and he doesn't look like he can cope well if things aren't going his way.
Going by the first two games I would be inclined to drop Armstrong, put Ciftci in front three and have Bilate up top.
Having said that, Armstrong loves a goal at Parkhead so might not be in a rush to do it this weekend.

Cue Parkshed for his first goal of the season.

Frustrating player and his attitude bugs me, but that's only because he is so talented.
