NL was nuts to play Ambrose, he's been away from the team for whatever length of time, just off a flight from South Africa that morning after winning the ACON, so I'm assuming hadn't even trained with the team in the lead up to the match. Also no doubt mentally and physically fatigued after playing in a different climate, timezone etc.
Hard to blame Lennon though, Celtic played fantastic positive football, big Samaras would have been good for an aerial threat, Hooper didn't look his best. The only player who played poorly was Ambrose and there were good reasons for that. Flattering scoreline for Juve, hopefully Celtic give a good account of themselves in the return leg in Turin.
ps the officiating was a joke re set plays, at one stage one of the Juve players hauled Brown to the ground and then threw himself to the ground straight after to make it look as if they were both at it! No class out of that lot.
