They have better tactical and technical training of young players, and tend not to run the legs off of them when they are young.
McCarthy was knackered by the time he was 27.
Came off the bench for Celtic today for the last 15 mins against Ross County. Looked quite good. It's strongly rumoured he had COVID a few weeks back hence the slow start to his Celtic career.
Comes of the bench 10 minutes into the second half in Seville with Celtic 4-2 down.
What an inmense player he is. Man of the match for the bhoys
McCarthy struggling with the intensity of Ange Postecoglou's football and wasn't a Postecoglou signing, or something like that.

I can't believe they signed him, never mind that they gave him a four year deal. Well past his best, injury prone and doesn't fit the manager's system. Absolute madness.
Keane O'Shea Given Best Smallbone
Thats because he played for Ireland a golden scapegoat
Inmense again for Céltic. It seems their greek coach told his teammates to look for a pass to James whenever he is available so the team played at his tempo. An assist for the third goal as well.
Actually he had two assists today
His passing was erratic. He gave the ball away cheaply sometimes but also put in a couple of sublime passes one of which was an assist for the first goal. It's hard to tell if he's not on the same wavelength as the team, is still just really unfit/rusty or isn't really suited to playing in a side dominating possession that needs to sustain a high tempo. He was a lot better than his last appearance which was shocking.
Introduced as a #10 after 60 minutes for Rogic. Playing in the hole for Céltic as attacking mid
Celtic's defence was one very big hole. They attacked v well, btw, Leverkeusen's keeper was superb. Mad game.
I've written him off in terms of the national side. I hope he has a good end to his career at Celtic.
