Dedryck Boyata is seriously struggling at the moment. After a poor display in the derby, he looked nervous once again in the Motherwell stalemate.
It seems Brendan wants the defender to play through his lack of confidence, but it doesn`t make for easy viewing. Although he performed better at Fir Park and we kept clean sheet, it was certainly a good thing we faced ten men for most of the match as he could have been put under a lot more pressure otherwise.
The talk on Twitter was very much focused on the 27 year old`s poor form, and although the reaction to his display was nowhere as critical as last week, many are still hoping that the manager takes him out of a firing line sooner rather than later.
With Simunovic out suspended, there could be a possibility of bringing Lustig into the middle instead to cover if our no.20`s performance continue to be so shaky:

Just think, if Boyata can be a professional footballer, starting every week for Celtic, you can be a anything you want to be.

Celtic give us the fear by playing boyata? Mitch The Bitch (@M_Mitch0408) 18 March 2018
That`s Motherwell and #Celtic down to ten and a half men each, then, since we appear to be sharing Boyata today.

Boyata guilty of ‘occupational appropriation` of a defender in a #Celtic jersey. Is he the best we have? #MOTCEL

Boyata is possibly the worst CB I have ever seen for us! @CelticFC #celtic #MOTCEL

This celtic team is much stronger without boyata

Boyata better second half, Motherwell solid at the back, Carson outstanding. Celtic missing that wee spark of brilliance, no creativity and far too predictable #MOTCEL

Not the greatest performance but a clean sheet, another point nearer and no too many frighteners fae Boyata; played quite well actually

That escapade when he gave the ball to Boyata, who gave it back to him. SB then gave it back to Boyata and got it right back again..that was scary and reminiscent of CG and Boyata.

Boyata hates Celtic

Celtic get the results some idiots of fans deserve . Ok Boyata made mistakes last week , every team has many players who make mistakes ,they don’t throw out the player & never play him again & neither should we , we should support& encourage the player to regain form
