I'd love to see him doing better, back to his best when he won player of the season at an EPL club. It's hard to believe that was only two years ago, but his game seems to have gone to pieces since then.

Hopefully he can improve but he is starting to look like a player from a different era who isn't equipped to play modern day top level football. That he's even struggling in the SPL speaks volumes sadly.

He was defending on the edge of his box most of the game as opposed to the half way line which helps him, but overall he was good. Got a few important blocks and headers in

Duffy played better as the game when on and took some responsibility when Ajer and Brown went off.
Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world

Did lot better than previous few weeks that's for sure. Couldn't be blamed for either goal, and pen, while clumsy was way outside the box. Did OK overall.

Hopefully gets back to his best soon.

If Duffy had a good game would he come on and comment?

Some posters rejoice at Ireland players under performing or playing badly.

By the same token many posters can't seem to differentiate between justified criticism that's warranted and having their green tainted specs on.

You get dismissed as "not being a fan" if you dare question a fans favourite amongst a certain element of our support. 

The simple fact is, Duffy is going through a bad spell and posters are right to call him out on it.

Of course not. He is only responsible for his own performance. He has made some remarkable errors for a player many on here thought was too good for Celtic and the SPL. Hopefully his performances improve or he will find himself warming the bench against opposition like Hamilton Accies

He's probably our best defender but he's pretty sh*te in the grand scheme of things. They did a section on him called "Scruffy Duffy" on Virgin yesterday showing his calamitous play during the first half of the Celtic game yesterday. I don't know if he's always been like this but in the Kenny/Celtic way of playing he just looks awkward as f*ck. He hoofed the ball a way a couple of times yesterday and no one really wants to see that nowadays. 
This might be a bad patch or he might be getting totally found out as someone who can't play any ball at all, due to the systems he's been asked to play in. But he'll probably do ok for Ireland most of the time, it's not like we have much choice. I don't think he'll be able to warrant a starting place for Celtic though if he keeps f*cking up.

Bit OTT there tbh, in terms of defending he's actually fairly competent which is what you should be primarily judging a defender on.

It's just that in the modern defenders are expected to have far more in their locker i.e. passing range, be both footed, being comfortable on the ball, attack minded etc which obviously doesn't play to his strengths. 

In regard to Ireland, I have made the point countless times that given our past ultra defensive and unimaginative brand of football those who played in defensive positions who also happened to be poor on the ball would be protected and somewhat lauded in that sort of set up.

Duffy to his credit thrived, but in truth as soon as you remove the shackles and become more expansive the likes of Duffy will get exposed.
