Chris Sutton suggests Brendan Rodgers faces a tough decision between Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah.
Sutton acknowledges Kyogo’s quality but believes the decision hinges on style, particularly against a possession-based team like Dortmund.
“I’d say Idah is a better bet if the manager feels Dortmund could have sustained periods,” Sutton wrote.
Sutton highlights Idah’s ability to fight for possession and hold up the ball, which could be pivotal in a hostile German environment.
Kyogo’s European record shows inconsistency away from home, with many of his best performances coming at Celtic Park.
Under Ange Postecoglou, Kyogo often found himself isolated in European away games.
Sutton questions whether Kyogo is the right choice against Dortmund’s aggressive style.
Rodgers must decide whether to impose Celtic’s game on Dortmund or adapt to their physicality and relentless pressing.
Key points:
1. Chris Sutton debates Celtic’s starting striker against Dortmund.
2. Kyogo Furuhashi’s quality versus Adam Idah’s physicality.
3. Sutton highlights Idah’s ability to hold up the ball.
4. Kyogo’s European record shows inconsistency away from home
