Craig Swan reckons the toiling Honduran could have squandered his opportunity and Yang could become back up wide option
But, as Luis Palma struggled to grab the first key chance, the South Korean’s subsequent cameo may have thrust open the door for him to seize control of a crucial role at Parkhead. Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn have started the season in red-hot form to cement their wide-attacking spots. The Japanese’s explosive pace, scoring ability and torture of defenders with work is a crucial part of the set-up.
James Forrest has already proved time and again he is more than capable of stepping into a role on either side, but there may also be days when both slots need to be covered. Palma, it seemed, had it in his hands. Of him and Yang, he had the bigger impact in year one. Between he and Yang, he got the first competitive starting shot this term, too. Five days ago against Falkirk. But, afforded that priceless opportunity to re-establish his credentials, the Honduran didn’t grasp the nettle.
Rodgers had done a superb job of strengthening the areas that needed it. The arrival of Auston Trusty for £6 million gives the additional centre-back to supplement and severely push Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers. The one area that was not significantly bolstered during the summer transfer window was the wide-attacking positions. Of course, having signed Kuhn in January, Rodgers did the work early to get one through the door and settled in time for this season’s Champions League challenges, a luxury not afforded to Palma last term with his very first start for the club coming in the group opener against Feyenoord.
