MOTM 21-22 Game 20: Saints 0 v 1 Celtic League Cup Semi-final

[garydavidson]

Quite a tough one with some great defensive efforts.

Felt the injury to Wotherspoon was a bit of a turning point in performance and atmosphere and Booth was done in by the end. James Brown played well against Jota and we did well to snuff out any real attacking threat with Celtic not having a shot on goal in the first 45 minutes and only 30 in the full 90.

Brown Booth an Bryson aw did well, but went fir Kane non stop aw match he's got some energy

[Linky]

I think Brown was covering Jota, and did a great job keeping him relatively quiet. First time I've seen him step up and really look like a first-team player.

[blueheaven]

I went for Brown. For me he's looked by far the strongest candidate for that RCB position in the games he's played there since Kerr's departure.

[Cagey]

Brown for me as well. Jota never got past him & restricted him to left foot crosses that were not effective. Blotted his copybook by letting Jotta control the clearance from Clark but he probably wouldnt have beat him if he hadn't used his hand.

Talking of Spoony, bit harsh to disqualify him from the vote! 

[Templar Saint]

Went for Kane because of his workload but close thing with Brown.

A hard pick tbh but I gave my vote to Jamie McCart. He's had a poor'ish season so far by his standards but thought he was back to his best on Saturday, thought him & Liam snuffed almost everything out that came their way

I’d need to see that backheel flicked clearance once more that he attempted that Celtic scored from before I can agree.

Not much else he could do.
