vs Hearts

FT 4-0

Outstanding achievement from this Brendan Rodgers Celtic team.
27 game unbeaten #recordbreaking run and 22 points clear at the top.

No first pick striker on the pitch or the bench today but we still score four goals against Hearts and could have added to that tally.
 
That turned into an absolute hiding for Hearts! Great game today by most players, a few shaky moments at the back from some poor passing and from Gordon in particular but we recovered from them and generally played very well as a team!

Gamboa has really started to come onto a game and was brilliant yesterday. Boyata looks solid and mobile and even has his confidence back which is good! Tierney was OUTSTANDING! It's fitting he played such a big role in the win that broke the Lions' record. Local lad, a fan and a bright young talent in the team and he really turned it on today with a classy performance both in defence and attack! Sinclair was definitely better when he was moved out wide to the right but all three of him, Roberts and Forrest did well and their ability to interchange positions kept Hearts guessing all game! Brown was as solid as ever and was allowed to get into more attacking areas with Bitton doing well to just sit back and take the ball and move it around when required and also mop up any issues in defence, he had a very good game too! McGregor also had one of his best games for a while and wasn't even going to start until Armstrong pulled up in the warm-up! Chance = taken! The only person I haven't really mentioned from the starting 11 is Simunovic.....he didn't do anything brilliant but it was another good, solid performance from him.

Then we brought on Henderson....who twice supplied a great pass to Tierney down the left who then supplied the ball into the box for 2 goals....Henderson I thought did very well! He looked mobile, strong and had some good skill as well as a good pass! His versatility makes him a good player to have around, I just hope he gets some more game time as the season goes on!

Well done Bhoys! :emoticon:01 :emoticon:01 :emoticon:04 :emoticon:04 :emoticon:70 :emoticon:70 :emoticon:70 :emoticon:70

subs: Toure, Bitton, Gamboa, Mackay-Steven, Bailly, Aitchison, Kouassi
 
That was an exiting and strong first half. Hearts came out looking for a win, tjeure playong aggressive and not giving much space. But we're up for it. The passing is sharp and Sinclair'a goals were excellent.
 
Penalty won by Sinclair who pounds it in for his hat trick. Maybe add another goal? Six for the sixth in a row.
