    I think most on here know my thoughts on Julian , but I will tell you something Julian is a better defender than duffy.

    At the end of the day we were missing Edouard our best player. Christie our most creative player, Bitton who has prob been our player of the year so far and Elhamed who would have played right back. All dropped out with Covid this week

     

     

    Seriously missed Jullien’s leadership and couldn’t even bring on Forrest when it was clear Frimpong was havin an off day

    Morelos slapping Scott Browns head now being highlighted on a few news items . Will he be cited?

    No one can surely defend Mr Lennon after another terrible performance from his team today. No heart, slow and gutless, in fact embarrassing but we have guys on this blog who think that because in their minds “he’s a legend” then criticism of him makes you a hun or a pantywetter or a mineshater. If we want the ten we need to do the right thing now, now when we slip further behind Sevco. Lennon must go now or the ten is under severe threat.

    A couple of substitutions at half-time might not have changed the end result,

     

     

    but would have been one less source of frustration today.

    Professional, well run football clubs do NOT look for excuses for failure.

     

     

    Fans can do it but when you have fans as managers or directors who do it – you’re in trouble.

     

     

    Failing in Europe has been accepted by many because we’re punching above our weight & playing in a non competitive domestic league blah blah. But accepting failure is not a winning strategy in any professionally run club.

     

     

    Our business model has been built on winning the league, playing in the Champions League & selling on players who’re prepared to sign for us just for that Champions League experience & exposure.

     

     

    This is a house of cards which depends entirely on winning the SPFL but justifies failure elsewhere.

     

     

    NFL got a break last year when in head to heads we were second best to another team yet still won the league & the League cup. As a club we failed to address that obvious gap between us & that other club for a variety of reasons that are well rehearsed on here & elsewhere.

     

     

    Consistently getting bounced out of the Champions league by lesser but better coached teams has been ignored by the board just as long as we could win our league. That malaise of accepting & excusing failure is a cancer to any ambitious club, manager or player.

     

    As GeeBee asked – who’d come to Celtic now – other than another fan of the club.

     

    Why would any ambitious coach come to Celtic when the board lacks ambition & courage to affect change?

     

     

    Changes are needed at board level to get this club onto a professional footing.

     

     

    I’m away to get ready for the visit of my twin grand daughters who are 6 today.

     

    They just call things as they see it & always want to learn.

     

     

    Lessons there for this Celtic board.

    Things were looking grim last season until Rangers form dropped off a cliff and we had a change of system which changed our performances.

     

     

    One or both of these need to happen again this season because as things stand, we’re the second-best team in Scotland.

    CORNELIUS on 17TH OCTOBER 2020 3:15 PM

     

     

    Quite right! Have a great day with your grand daughters.

  13. lets all do the huddle on

    i dont think its the case that gerrard has worked out lennons tactics

     

     

    im not sure he gives too much of a shit about that

     

     

    i think he believes he simply has a better team than we do and that will count for more when we play each other

     

     

    and given the last few games against each other he probably would have a point

  14. glendalystonsils on

    GEEBEE1978

     

     

    Correct … and not just second best in league table positions . Second best on the park , more importantly .

    Celtic: Better players ,poorer team

     

     

    Sevco: Poorer players , better team .

     

     

    Pity it’s a team game .

  18. quadrophenian on

    According to Lenny, we lacked experience and nous…calling BS on that. Only Frim and Welsh are inexperienced and I thought both were journeymen-standard throughout.

     

    Where we also lacked experience was in the ability to do something different to counter being dominated.

     

    Insanity, Lenny, is doing the same thing (against the same mob) over and over expecting different results.

  19. ernie lynch on

    Celtic need a new owner with a bit of vision for taking the Club forward.

     

     

    And a new CEO to implement the vision.

     

     

    Until that happens it’s going to be more of the same.

  21. st tams on

    I said after Ferencvaros game that Neil Lennon should have been sacked.

     

    We then have stutterd on through the League games.

     

    I don’t know why people are surprised at todays result.

     

    I’ve said for weeks that there was a a car crash coming. Today was it. No shots on target in 94 minutes at home . Absolutely shocking

    67 EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS

     

     

    It’s a moot point and I know nobody wants to say a good word about BR but I believe if Rogers was backed and had the net spend Lennon had this window, we’d walk this league.

  23. onenightinlisbon on

    The board want a strong Sevco – happy to encourage them. Mr Desmond will be ok tonight I reckon.

    Celtic: Better players….

     

    ‐—–

     

     

    that has been the narrative in recent times

     

     

    how many pish performances and defeats against them should it take before we start thinking it might not be true?

  25. jackiemac on

    Clueless raggle taggle gypsies taken apart by journeymen

     

     

    Club caught between two minds, unable to cope with the players who got us here and the players we need.

     

     

    Lennie limp.

     

     

    That’s the worse team who have destroyed us I’ve ever seen

     

     

    Morleos should have had 6 yellow cards.

     

     

    the mid have fugg all idea what to do if OE isn’t in front of them

     

     

    Duffy, shape up.

     

     

    Moi, you’re not as good as you think you are

     

     

    Lennie, I don’t envy your squad but you don’t have much time left.

  26. RC on

    no excuses , we got beat today by the better team who individually knew exactly where their teammates would be , knew that their teammates would be bursting a gut to go forward and a team that had more desire to win today’s game.

    Yep i AGREE

     

     

    BTW this Celtic lover does not and never has said a bad word about Brendan

     

     

    We had the answer PL throw it away

     

     

    BUT we cannot go back

    they have played the exact same against us for 2 seasons, and mostly outplayed us comfortably in midfield, 1 up front doesn’t have to be defensive, if you have a good striker who can hold the ball in,and the likes of Elyounoussi, Rogic,Christie can play off him,the nearest striker to that just now is Ajeti, again no coaching re movement in forward areas,I think his tactics are,’ you’re a better player than him,go and do it….’

  30. dessybhoy on

    How many times do we have to see Ntcham play and just chuck it or be half hearted about everything he does, the manager calls him a technician well be technical elsewhere , Moi, not a chance unconvincing in everything he does this guy is another charlatan, McGregor is a ten if anything passing the ball sideways or getting from his lwb is useless, when we evetually get it to someone in an attacking position its passed inside and back, why not try 3 passes and we are running behind a defence or in on goal, we have an expensive collection of players but no idea of a best team , static lacking in fight determination and relying on a moment of excellence to win a game.

     

    We need to change the manager and coaches but does Lawwell have the ok to do this from the major shareholder, we will not win the league with this setup at the club, Big Jocks record will be equalled not passed, they died so theirs doesn’t count, but an 8 year old club is bossing games against us very easily , that should be a major concern.

    LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE on 17TH OCTOBER 2020 3:27 PM

     

     

    The rubbish performances against them come down to tactics, shape , organisation etc. Its all down to a difference in coaching.

     

     

    A midfield of Barker, Davis, Jack, Kamara, Arfield lacks quality but they compensate through their management team.

     

     

    We are a bunch of individuals and it shows.

    “and a team that had more desire to win today’s game.”

     

     

    I think those words go to the very heart of the problem

    Celtic need a new owner with a bit of vision for taking the Club forward.

    ——————

     

    Don’t often agree with you Ernie, but you are not wrong here. Completely agree but would take DD to make a big decision…

  36. SydneyTim on

    Up to us. It’s only October

     

    Transfer window in two months to make up for shambles again.

     

    If we keep Neil , who is a average manager , we will lose the ten

     

     

    Very noticeable with 15 mins to go

     

    Sevco coaching staff all talking

     

    Neil sitting wiry his arms crossed and John the cone man sitting at rear of dugout with no input

     

     

    We don’t have a coaching team

     

     

    DD get your finger out and bring back Martin now

  37. RC on

    Elyounoussi, a player who thinks he is better than he is and a player that Lenny doesn’t know what position to play him.

  38. corkcelt on

    Feeling down in the dumps & reading this site is not helping.

     

    So going to take a break.

     

    I’ll be back & Celtic will be back.

  41. jackiemac on

    ps, apologies to Andy Walker for all the names I’ve called him over the years cos he’s the only one to inject any perspective by saying the last time we were in this position, it spurred us on

    “I’m not big on tactics. It’s about the players and THEY have to go out onto the pitch and apply that.”

     

     

    Nell Lennon said the above in relation to what he brings to his management.

     

    Yet your man Lawwell gives him the job!
