We’ve been poor. Dallas has been predictably shocking. We need to get going in the second half. Bitton and Jullien seeing far too much of the ball for my liking. We’re slow and lack ideas.

Get 2 up front – it made the difference last season so why revert back to one?

mcgregor and brown not sure what they are doing in the shape – I don’t think the mix is right. We grew into the game but we’ve not been clever enough. If I’m picking frimpong over Elhamed , I want his pace to get to the by line and fire crosses in – he’s not doing that!
this could get nervy as we are not looking like a team controlling – we lack a freshness / a spark

Get our match winner on and give him 45mins before his 100th Euro appearance on Wednesday … sometimes “we” don’t appreciate what we have till … it’s not there

Lack of drive and guile. Taylor has seen loads of the ball yet achieved zero. Two up front Lenny? Maybe after 86 minutes…

Shug’s legacy lives on. Can’t blame the ref for our own poor showing first half though . Lenny , please stop the Eddy lone striker idea. Aw feck ! Boyd on now!

Christie hits one good corner in every 5. Very poor.
RC on
youse are no listening you have to scream and squeal when you get tackled even if its a fair one , the only way you will get a free kick or given a card , we are not vocal enough.
Friesdorfer on
My eyes are bleeding. Get some tempo into it. If Frimpong is not going to go past his man and get to the bye line, what is the point? Taylor ineffective on the left and the remainder anonymous. Hope to goodness there is going to be a sea change in the 2nd half.

Hmmmm….kind of deja vu. I suppose their keeper made 2 saves in the half, which is more than the Killie keeper made the entire game.
3 bad fouls by their centre half and he’s still not booked. Meanwhile Callum McGregor on a yellow for a 50/50.
Frimpong has been poor and as much as I don’t like to say it, so has el capitan. Taylor is never a Celtic player.
At least we can’t blame Forrest.

I’d take a 0-1 right now. If we score first it will open the pitch up – if they score first, well it could get messy…
El Hamed on and possibly Ajer – his ability to take it out of defence is being missed today.
mncelt on
Not much to get excited about in that 45 mins. I hope Neil changes the shape for the second half. Callum and Broony are not giving us anything in midfield, so one of them should be pulled in favour of another front player. DU have not caused us many problems and I don’t see that changing. 3-0 to the good guys.

HT scores on the doors
Barkas 6- Nothing much to do albeit DU have had attacks.
Taylor- 5 Lack of end product
Bitton- 5 Saw quite a bit of ball but has done little with it
Jullien- 5 See Bitton
Frimpong- 7 Probably one of better attacking options.
Calmac- 4 Is he playing?
Brown- 4 See Calmac
Ntcham- 5 Only slightly more visible than his MF colleagues
Moi- 3- Has done nothing
RC- 6 Has tried hard and has created couple of half chances. Final ball, including corners, poor
Eddy- 6 Hit post and had a shot saved. Need a bit more.
NFL- Christie is wasted on right. Change it.

One very good ball to Ntcham, who should’ve done much better

there is simply no excuse for a performance like that from Dallas! these tackles are not marginal nor one offs – we need players in his face and Lennon letting him know! he hates green and white!
RC on
we have to play with 2 that’s 2 strikers , OE has 2/3 opposition markers every time he gets near the ball, get Elhamed on and go 3 at the back.

Can’t disagree with any of that

Disappointing to say the least. Two away games – v Killie who dropped off with ten behind the ball – now – v United who are high-pressing – we are struggling.
Can we only play at home against teams that play openly – e.g. Hamilton & Reykjavik?
Further to the WGS/BBJ discussion – think it is blindingly that Eduard is not a centre-forward – ineffectual even against very moderate opposition with his back to goal. Top class striker of that there is no doubt.
We need to hope their legs go – if not it will be a slog.
Is it in the contract that moi must start when fit like

He’s not as bad that normally – why do Celtic bring out the worst in these nuggets I wonder!?

Anybody feel like they’ve seen this movie before?
FFS Lennon. Bring on Klimala or Ajeti, get Brown off. Bring on Forrest, take off Bitton and move Christie to No. 8. Desperately need a LB who doesn’t turn and play it backwards.
Come on Celtic.

Tinker Tinker,
Not the ref or the pitch or utd being hard in the tackle,
Set the team up wrong and unmotivated and you get this,
We have problems, all self made, taxi driver with an F1.

Can’t see them keeping up the pace of the first 45. Talking of pace , Taylor could do with a bit more .

agree , has to be moved out the left side and running at opposition, he is never a target man.

Greg Taylor making plenty of good breaks but as on Tuesday night all his crosses being blocked. Celtic making chances but tough 45 ahead.
Dexter P. Bampot on
We need more attacking options in the middle- either 2 up top or RC supporting. Either/or will do, Neil. NOT ONE UP FRONT AGAINST HAMMERTHROWERS

Another poor half from Celtic, tempo better for the last 10 mins.
Dundee Utd are dross and our lackadaisical attitude is a worry.
Scott Brown is way off the pace, his influence has been non existent.
Why do we take so long to get up to speed?
Dallas is at it, a cheat who’s allowing Connelly kicks at Celtic, not leaving him on a booking, in case he needs to foul again,

Truly dire stuff.
Crap line up.
Play your best players in their best positions.
Simples.
It’s not the ref’s fault we’re playing poorly.
