Chris Sutton has used his Record column to go in studs shown on Brendan Rodgers and the effect that he and his style of play have had on Kyogo’s form this season.
As you’d expect with Sutton he hasn’t held back and he has probably put into print what a lot of Celtic fans have thought…
“Brendan Rodgers has been outspoken about needing quality, yet he can’t find a way to get the best out of the highest-quality striker in the country. Now he’s been left out of the side. If that continues, could it lead to him inevitably looking to leave? Kyogo has gone from being the most-feared forward in Scotland to barely getting a chance in a game. It’s actually quite remarkable and, for me, it’s not got that much to do with the boy himself.
“Now listen, before I go any further, this is no slight on Adam Idah. The Irish striker was given an opportunity against Hibs and he grabbed it with his two goals. Idah might do well for Celtic, but don’t tell me he’s a better striker than Kyogo.
“It’s almost painful to see what has happened to the Japanese over the past few months. The guy scored 27 league goals in 31 starts last season. Eight in 21 this season. He is a difference-maker. He’s shown it for two seasons as a big game player.”
Is anything Sutton said wrong?
