Sebastian Tounekti returned to Celtic\u2019s XI for Wilfried Nancy\u2019s first game in charge. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After Martin O\u2019Neill\u2019s impactful interim spell in charge of Celtic<\/a>, it was the small matter of leaders Hearts visiting Parkhead on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Things didn\u2019t go to plan; in fact, it was a nightmare start for Nancy, with Celtic losing to Hearts<\/a>, and Tounekti<\/a> getting subbed off after an hour. <\/p>\n

After calls for Tounekti to start against Hearts<\/a> before the game, the summer signing had very little impact, and the supporters made their feelings clear about it all. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the one thing you\u2019d tell Wilfried Nancy he needs to change after Hearts defeat? <\/p>\n

Big improvements are needed ahead of the game against AS Roma\u2026<\/p>\n

The issue facing Tounekti is that he is now being compared to wingers of the past who have struggled in the green and white colours.<\/p>\n

The likes of Mikey Johnston and Luis Palma were mentioned, two players who couldn\u2019t make it at Celtic, and now Tounekti is being spoken about in the same breath, as the reaction on social media proved. <\/p>\n

@GlasgowCSC_ wants some reality with Tounekti: \u2018Can we end the Tounekti experiment now, Celtic? He is utterly abysmal.\u2019<\/p>\n

@logue0809 isn\u2019t happy: \u2018Tounekti is honestly the worst.\u2019<\/p>\n

@bhoy__88 compared Celtic\u2019s summer signing to Mikey Johnston: \u2018Tounekti really is the Tunisian Mikey Johnston.\u2019<\/p>\n

And now a Palma comparison, as @McAdamNo5 stated: \u2018Tounekti is possibly the worst winger since Palma.\u2019<\/p>\n

@S390102 explained what it feels like watching Tounekti in action: \u2018Tounekti is an incredibly frustrating player.\u2019<\/p>\n

@FullofCarrie_on wants Tounekti to move the ball quicker: \u2018Tounekti needs to just pass it, stop prancing about with it.\u2019<\/p>\n

@inchy_1 criticised the predictability of Celtic\u2019s winger: \u2018Tounekti is no use on the left. Just trying to get back on his right foot all the time. Every man and his dog knows it\u2019s coming.\u2019<\/p>\n

@McFadyen1991 continued with that theme: \u2018Tounekti is the most one-footed player I have ever seen, same move over and over again to get it on the right foot instead of hitting it with the left.\u2019<\/p>\n

@SomethingSport also spoke about Tounekti not changing things up: \u2018Tounekti is the most one-dimensional Celtic winger I\u2019ve ever seen.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tounekti\u2019s stats for Celtic against Hearts<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a good first impression from Tounekti towards his new manager, and don\u2019t be surprised if he is sitting on the bench against AS Roma on Thursday night in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

The lack of creativity from the flanks was there to show, with the Tunisia star only creating one big chance during the match. <\/p>\n
