In a recent discussion on The Warm-Up, Sutton weighed in on the ongoing debate between Bernardo or Engels for the starting lineup. He emphasized the importance of Brendan Rodgers’ daily observations of the players in training to make the best decision for the team.
Boyd humorously pointed out that Sutton seemed to be sitting on the fence for the first time, to which Sutton jokingly admitted to having ‘splinters in his backside’. Despite this, Sutton maintained that Celtic’s transfer policy focuses on developing players, even though Engels came in for a significant amount of money. He stressed the need for patience as Engels is only 21 and still a work in progress.
Sutton highlighted Rodgers’ strength in improving players and suggested that Celtic fans should give Engels time to develop. He also mentioned the likelihood of squad rotation in upcoming games to showcase Celtic’s depth. When Boyd suggested that Engels was only playing because of his transfer fee, Sutton quickly dismissed the idea as ridiculous.
Boyd advocated for giving Bernardo a chance in the starting lineup, citing his impressive performances when coming on as a substitute. Ultimately, the debate continues as fans eagerly await the decisions made by Rodgers for the upcoming matches.
