Maximizing the potential of Kyogo

Although Celtic defeated Ross County 1-0 over the weekend to keep their lead in the SPFL Premiership,

many fans were not happy with how they lost.

The visitors threw everything at an equalizer,

but were unable to build on a deflected goal in the opening minute by Alistair Johnston,

which created some nervous moments at the conclusion of the game.

Luis Palma’s two-pointed penalty kick in the 28th minute would have calmed worries,

but instead Kyogo Furuhashi,

the team’s main striker,

had another dismal afternoon with one shot on goal and two touches in the box.

The usually cheerful Japanese visage has conspicuously lost its smile these days.

He has a respectable 11 goals in all competitions.

But the following comment on a piece I published for Celtic By Numbers captures nicely how much his goal threat numbers have dropped this year.
