Ange Postecoglou admits his Celtic stars addressed first-half wastefulness in their opening day victory over Aberdeen. Star man Jota capped a 2-0 victory over Aberdeen with a sublime late strike after Stephen Welsh put the champions ahead in the opening minutes.
But Postecoglou reckons the Portuguese attacker was the "main culprit" in a period of first-half sloppiness that left the Parkhead boss frustrated. Perhaps with his manager's words still ringing in his ears, Jota 's brilliance lit up Celtic Park 15 minutes from time on another flag day victory and his second-half showing earned praise from Postecoglou.
However, it was a reminder of the high standards the Celtic boss expects as he demanded better than the "wasteful" finishing that could have put his side well clear on the scoresheet. Postecoglou told Sky Sports: "Good goal, he's obviously got that in his locker where he can take people on, he's one of the ones, I thought he started brightly but I thought he was one of the main culprits to why we fell away a bit before half time, just being wasteful in possession.
