1 point from the last 3 SPL games is pathetic. The worst thing is that all three games were a carbon copy of each other. A team, well organised, sit in and get 10 men behind the ball for the first half (very occasionaly venturing forward). If Celtic don’t score early we run out of ideas and become increasingly frustrated. Likewise the support start to get on the team’s back. In the second half, as the game becomes stretched and Celtic players tire, the opponents throw more men forward on the break and recently they have scored goals and caused us to drop 8 out of 9 points at home.
We lack creativity. If a team stops Commons, or he has a mare like today, we have no player who can unlock a well organised defence. Away from home in SPL and in Europe this isn’t a problem as teams come at us more leaving us space to exploit, and we are good at exploiting this space. Today our best players were Kayal (back to his best) & Ambrose, with Victor & Lustig giving passable performances. Forster could have sat in the stands for all he had to do. The rest were poor, especially the forward players. Samaras was back to his worst, home SPL games are not his thing, he needs the space away games offer for him to gallop into as he doesn’t have the guille to beat players with a trick or find a pass to open a defence up. Not a criticism of Sammi, just an observation. Hooper looked as interested as he looked fit and Tony Watt, as I mentioned earlier, is more suited as an impact sub at this stage of his young career.
Substitutions were baffling. Needing to open up a defence surely Miku and McGeouch are better options than a half fit Brown and a never fit Paddy.
If Spartak watch recording of our last three home games and come to CP and sit in, playing on the break, Europa League here we come.

Joe filipi. Ps nothin personal against you. My vendetta is about super score board and Celtic fans that keep it on life support
I think the fact that Celtic are top of the league despite almost unprecedented poor home form, might tell us all we need to know about why our home form is poor.
One way home from game. That was utter shite! No wonder home gates are falling we have been tripe at home. Lost to killie and ict at home and not even December not good enough.

Disappointed in Neil’s petulant response. Love him but the punters have a right to voice their disapproval and quite frankly home league performances are absolutely disgraceful!
I hope he has the good grace to apologise tomorrow and accept that just because we beat Barca doesn’t make him or his team immune from criticism!
I agree wuth you but to simple me it looks like, hey, we beat Barca here so Caley should be a breeze! Doesn’t work like that. We should be taking 7 or 8 goals from muppets like them.

Just back in from a very disappointing game..Inverness lined up 4-1-4-1 in their own half when we had the ball in their final third and we really struggled to break this down .
Another bad day at the office ?.. One or two over a season might be acceptable but this looks like a recurring pattern..Neil said in his after match interview he recognised this and vowed to sort it out..and I trust him to do it..
Top of the league,still in the CL with a chance to make the final 16,still in both cups too …HH

Back in from the game – don’t know were to start!
How about Hooper, could nae trap a bag of coal.
Commons, slow if only he wis that quick.
Sammy – wis just Sammy. The rest were pish, apart from Efe
and Kayal first half. Every league game at home
has been shocking – this is our bread and butter
entertainment value non existent!!

Just back in from the game. It just wasn’t our day. Nothing seemed to work out and Inverness played well, I thought. Efe played well and so did Kayal, Sammi got injured early in the first half and should have been hooked. Things started to look up with the introduction of Brown and McCourt but it was too little too late.
Still, it was good to spend some time with the wean and I got a magic photo of him, scarf held aloft with the pitch in the background. I put a fiver on Ambrose to score at any stage but was disappointed to find him acting as the only player in our half at set pieces so it was a very long shot.

Gary Mackay Steven in January. Pace to drag defenders out of position and trickery to beat them. A fully fit Forrest would also give us a boost both in tight home games and in away games where he can exploit the space. If its not working through the middle with sideways pass followed by sideways pass, we need to use pace and trickery down the wings.

I can’t believe how much we miss Stokes. He’s the second best assister at Celtic after Commons, and knows how to hit an Spl net too. Get well soon!

Kris commons shooting was rank,shot from everywere and hut nothing.
my choices at the back would have been. ADam at right back and charlie at left back with efe and mikul lustig as the centres.
other than that i think lenny wasent to far of the mark.
however if you cant pick out your own team mates with the wee baw then all the tactics in the world wont work.
