James Forrest’s injury in September happened three days before Jeremie Frimpong’s best performance of the season, in the home win against Hibs. I remember using the MVP acronym for Jeremie at the time. Team form until that point was patchy: wins with alarming defensive performances and an unmitigated disaster against Ferencvaros. The team shape was clearly wrong and pushing Jeremie forward in James absence seemed logical.
It was the first of many changes I wanted to see, each followed by a realisation that we were groping around in the darkness, until Ismaila Soro and David Turnbull became the central points of a midfield diamond. Having (hopefully) fixed the fundamental tactical problem, James return to full training offers Neil Lennon the flexibility he is denied on the right and enhances his option in the middle.
Ryan Christie is well short of his best form in a Celtic shirt but all of those best performances came when he played through the middle. He can cover for James and offer options on the right while giving the manager a different option when he wants to swap out David Turnbull in the 10 position.

A beautiful frosty morning here in North Staffs – still no sign of the vaccine being rolled out in Biddulph – maybe next week 🤔
So in England you can’t drive somewhere to exercise but you can go fishing – how many people have a river at the bottom of the garden 🤭

He’s quoted. He said it.
He had no intention of coming back to us. Lenny gave us the impression it was a done deal he’d be coming back. That being the case Forster must have been speaking to Lenny with fork tongue
Maybe Lenny spoke with forked tongue ???
Happy Hoopy Birthday to Cork Celt

I condemn this behaviour. I know there are sites that use clickbait and there are faceless people who love to stir the pot – for whatever reasons. We have enough to sort out at the Club without its reputation being sullied.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORKCELT
Hope its the right day :))))

the good news is this was much better than the last 3 derbies performance wise. The bad news is predictable and reoccurring failings undermined the shiny diamond.
Happy Birthday Corkcelt
Happy Birthdat ACGR
Hope ye both get lucky

I hope the Board have the balls to disregard the pressure they will now be subjected to to adopt the IHRA definition.

Would Lenny have spoken to Peter Lawwell about the chances of FF staying at Celtic before he’ gave us his impression’?
Who would have been negotiating terms with FF, Lenny or Lawwell?
Who made the decision to punt Craig Gordon, Lenny or Lawwell?
Best of wishes to Corkcelt and ACGR from the Garngad.🇮🇪🎂🇮🇪

Happy birthday ACGR 🎂🎉 – have a great day
Guys if you could spare a wee prayer for my wife’s cousin Andrea who passed away suddenly yesterday.🙏
A beautiful, kind person taken from us at 50 years of age, far to young. She will be sadly missed by all of our family, she was like a sister to my wife and her sisters, we are all devastated.

CELTIC BY NUMBERS
Good article , confirming what our problems are and how they are not entirely player related . The diamond does seem to be the way to go but the failure to make the right changes , or to make them in time , is damning It will only be addressed by having the right coaching team in place and filling key positions which we have been crying out for too long .
Happy Birthday to ACGR & Corkcelt.hh
Is it CORKIES birthday? thought he was on leave?
Happy Birthday mhate.
Now should I still send my top 3 to JOBO or just argue
with awebody about who was the best.

IF, Lenny new what was going on and said what he did about FF’s situation , then he spoke with fork tongue.
IF, he was not privvy to what PL planned then fine , i just don’t think everything can be blamed on FF.
Pity there is confidentiality clauses in place or we might see more truth coming out .
c
Can PL be blamed for everything?

Will do . RIP Andrea , you should have many years ahead of you at 50.

Sad news David.
RIP Andrea.
Ernie,
There seems to be a recurring theme running through your questions.
I think we all know the answer and that it has cost us a couple of great managers in the last 17 years.
