Mika Baur’s Paderborn stats show exactly what Celtic urgently need to fix

Patrick Sinat of 67 Hail Hail argues that Celtic must find a way to revive Mika Baur's goal threat following a noticeable drop in his shooting statistics. Comparing his final season at SC Paderborn to his first five league appearances for Celtic, the analysis highlights that Baur's shot volume has halved from 1.48 to 0.73 per 90 minutes. While Baur scored against St Johnstone, Sinat notes his attacking output is being restricted by defensive demands.

The writer points out that while Baur's chance creation has actually increased to 2.19 per 90 minutes, his defensive work has surged, with his tackles jumping from 1.45 to 3.65 per 90. Sinat argues that manager Martin O'Neill needs to adjust Baur's role so Celtic do not lose the midfield goal threat he displayed in the 2. Bundesliga.
