Inferior to Idah: Rodgers should consider releasing the Celtic player following a “lacklustre” performance.

 

Celtic was unable to capitalise on the opportunity to extend their lead to 18 points at the summit of the Scottish Premiership table on Tuesday evening, as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Dundee.


 

 

The Hoops required a penalty in stoppage time, executed by substitute Arne Engels, to secure a point in the 93rd minute, after having fallen behind 3-2 in the 78th minute.

 

 

 

Despite initially taking a lead of 1-0 and subsequently 2-1 in the match, Brendan Rodgers’ team was twice equalised by the home side, which subsequently gained the advantage before the contest concluded in a draw.

 

 

Several underwhelming performers were evident on the pitch for the Premiership leaders during the high-scoring draw, notably including center-forward Adam Idah.

 

 

Adam Idah’s performance in statistics The Ireland international commenced his fourth consecutive league match for the first time this season; however, he did not substantiate his selection in the starting line-up.

 

 

 

spearheaded the offensive, with Kyogo Furuhashi positioned on the right flank once more. However, Furuhashi failed to assert his presence in the match, losing 75% (3 out of 4) of his duels, which allowed the Dundee defenders to contend with him with relative ease.

 

 

 

Against Dundee, Adam Idah participated for a duration of 61 minutes and failed to convert significant scoring opportunities. 1 Key Passes 0 Completed Passes 7 out of 8 duels won 1 out of 4 Statistics sourced from Sofascore.

 

 

 

As illustrated in the table above, the summer acquisition from Norwich not only squandered his sole ‘huge chance’ in front of the goal but also did not generate any opportunities for his teammates.

 

 

 

Nevertheless, it was Idah’s run and subsequent attempt at a shot directed towards the near post that deflected to the back post, allowing Hyun-jun Yang to secure his goal.

 

 

 

 

Thus, one could attribute credit to Idah for his contribution to the second strike by the Hoops.Additionally, there was a player on the field for Celtic who performed even more poorly than the 6-foot-3 center-forward in the match against Dundee—central defender Auston Trusty—who should be promptly removed from the lineup by Rodgers.

 

 

 

Reasons for Considering the Exclusion of Auston Trusty from the Team The summer acquisition from Sheffield United was favoured over Liam Scales for the left defensive position and appeared to be slightly lacking in pace throughout the match.

 

 

Early warning signs were evident when his lack of precision permitted Simon Murray to advance towards the goal; however, the striker’s inadequate contact enabled Cameron Carter-Vickers to intervene and effectively displace him.
