He absolutely cannot start against Serbia. If Kenny starts him and we get beaten he will get hammered for it and deservedly so.

Egan and Clark would be the clear pick at the moment.

Unfortunately, Duffy is one of a couple of players (in my eyes anyway) that, should they start in Serbia, I'll really begin to worry about Kenny.

I've no problem giving Stephen Kenny time, but I do have an issue with him making choices that are just straight up tactically wrong given the system he wants to play.

If he hasn't spotted what does and doesn't work from the players in the last 8 games then... Confused

The thing is, all managers have a "blind spot", and it manifests itself in a player that come what may will start. He was captain, and that will count for something, and it may well be seen as something which transcends performance. There are options, and options who are playing better right now. However, I not 100% sure that Duffy's form will put him out of the reckoning.

Maybe I'm wrong but I get the impression that Stephen Kenny came in with the assumption that certain players were playing beneath themselves or capable of more. He's mentioned three or four players who fall into this bracket and from the last 8 games I've not seen anything to convince me otherwise.

I agree with the theory of a manager and blind spot for players. Whatever about carrying one player in the game against Serbia, the way Kenny has been selecting there is the potential to have 3 players who really shouldn't be in that team, purely from a tactical point of view.

Honestly, I'd actually go slightly further, and say that there could be five or six players who might make the team, under the guise of "tried and trusted" (not by Kenny BTW), and depending on how other people are playing at the time, it will be more damaging to him if we lose, with those players. I agree with a number of people that we (a) have to be realistic about the realities of team selection and (b) that wholesale change for youth with "potential" is not sensible. However, there are positions up for grabs, either by usual players being out of the club sides, or out of form.

Realistically making 6 changes isn't going to happen. Our Achilles heel is midfield though.

If I was to harbour a guess, as things stand, Kenny's first choice midfield would be James McCarthy as the sitter with Hourihane and Hendrick ahead of him. I would have none of these in midfield. I think unfortunately this is where Kenny may come unstuck unless he makes some brave decisions.

I remember Kenny talking about James McCarthy as this defensive midfielder who would take the ball off the back for and instigate attacks. Kenny also waxed lyrical about his passing ability. I've never seen James McCarty do any of this and his passing is definitely not something I would put down as one of the strengths.

Jeff Hendrick has lots of energy and will run and run, unfortunately he will also run and run away from the ball.

Hourihane strikes me as somebody who will only work if he is played as the advanced midfielder surrounded by midfielders with a.) Lots of energy b.) Will supply him the ball (i.e. will always look to be on the ball themselves)

James McCarthy and Jeff Hendrick are two players who do not want to be on the ball, therefore creating a situation where an immobile Hourihane struggles. We end up with a midfield that's completely rudderless and has no link between defence and midfield and midfield and attack. 

Kenny proclaims to want to play more possession based football but 2 of his 3 first choice midfielders seem to go out of their way not to be on the ball.

I do think there is hope when it comes to Hourihane but only if he is surrounded by 2 midfielders that will compliment him.

Now the idea that we play yet another counterproductive midfield and then add a completely out of form Duffy into centre defence.... It doesn't bear thinking about...

Today he didn't make his usual calamity of errors and celtic fans should be grateful? Just because he wasn't terrible? 



But that's not the issue. The issue is he's getting roasted regardless of how he performs. It's fairly transparent stuff from Celtic fans. They're p!ssed off and scapegoating the low picking fruit. 

Duffy has by and large been sh!te for Celtic, but he's one of many issues at the club.

As mentioned, they should be light year ahead of Rangers. Neil Lennon? Give me a break. Penny pinching and a lack of ambition has denied them the 10 in a row not Duffy.
 



I am a Celtic fan and have been a huge fan of Duffy for the national team but honestly his time on loan has been a disaster. A big issue has been his attitude though. His general fitness has been apalling since he got up to Glasgow. It hasnt improved and he was breathing very heavy in the first half today. Even though i agree, his performance today was fine. But the bridges have been burnt with the fans. 

I think he chucked it after the home defeat to Sparta Prague. The instagram of him using the finger emoji riled up fans immensly. The abuse rn is centred around Lennon more so than Duffy. Lennon has riled up fans with his interviews and press conferences that he could pass wind and Celtic fans would be all over it on social media. 

Some of the abuse is totally out of order. But alot of the frustation of the supporters has been terribly managed by the higher ups of the club. Lennon should have been sacked and i imagine duffy would have left in January in a pre covid environment. 

Hopefully Duffy can get a move to the championship and get some form back.

I don't know why Irish players bother TBH. They've had the same poxy attitude about any Irish player that's played for them in recent memory, whether it's Stokes, Murphy or O'Dea.

Did they?

They seemed to like Johnny Hayes and i never heard much bad said about Stokes or O'Dea

Stokes was an absolute hero for Celtic around 2010 to 2013, when he barely got a look in at the Ireland team. Wonder why that was? O'Dea was also very much a fan favorite. His goal in the 2009 league cup final being a highlight. He just was maybe a level below what Celtic should aspire too. Nothing wrong with that?

Johnny Hayes also very well liked at Celtic. Unusual signing from Rodgers bjt had a big impact in winning 8 and 9.

I watched the game today and it’s very true what you say about Duffy....his fitness is shocking.he barely broke out into a jog today,he just played center/right side of the defense,rarely actually marked a player and won a few headers.the game was terrible quality wise and he was bent over,hands on knees blowing out of his arse a couple of times.there’s no way he can start for us purely because he’s not in an condition to.

just had a look there. Looks as though she messaged him first. No big deal, bloke has an aul barley looking at a pair of baps online but he really doesn’t have too much going on between the ears. Fans will take further aim at him. Eye off the ball at the bhoys and firmly on tits online.

So he kept me soul for ransom.

Ah, it's nothing compared to some of his previous stuff. But if he's going onto only fans for a wank there must surely be some better quality on there than her.

If you're going to do something wrong, at least do it right.
