No cohesion in our play mainly down to so many changes in personnel.
Too many below par performances. Dysfunctional defensive formation.
Hibs were hungrier and better all over the park. Well deserved victory for them .
Feel sorry for the punters travelling through and paying their hard earned for such an insipid display devoid of real graft.
Totally forgettable performance .
That said.On to the next game, the sky hasn’t fallen in.

Thought Ncham (along with rest) were shocking, just my opinion but think he has chucked it
Real lack of aggression and bravery in the team today.
Definitely compounded by a ridiculous team set up.
Ps “hello Porto, remember you were interested in Olivier Ntcham……”
Very disappointing but that is football.
Hopefully, this will put a stop to the very Hun like `Ten in a Row` chanting.
Also, if we really are a good.great.best support, it would manifest itself after a defeat.Only a very few on here today have shown they have that character .
Cheerio for now.

Well played Hibs, we were beaten by a much better team on the day. Just hope they play like that against the Hun.
Very few of our bhoys emerge with any credit, I’d absolve Benkovic and to a lesser extent Forrest but overall it was one of our worse performances for years.
We have injuries but so do Hibs, obviously our game Thursday was a factor but not an excuse.
Our away form has been extremely poor & not Championship Winning form.
My only consolation is surely the message that we need reinforcements must have got through loud & clear to the money men and secondly we have only 3 days to endure before we get a shot at redemption.
Well. We got that spectacularly wrong. Wrong personnel, wrong formation, wrong attitude.
Seems like we didn’t learn from previous lessons. Hopefully this will be heeded.
Two massive games coming up and Aberdeen and Hibs and Rangers are very likely to take something given that form.
5 league loses is the average norm for a league winning side. We are at 3.
Apparent that Rodgers can’t motivate a team to go away from home and win.
Under normal circumstances Edouard would be rested but we have no options. Sinclair at right wing back! Rodgers is doing a good job of underlying his thoughts on where he needs players.
Don’t get your hopes up for a plethora of 1st team ready quality players joining us in January bhoys. We have heard it all before. I think we’ll be lucky to end up with a couple of short term loans from the EPL and a couple of ‘projects’ to add to a bloated squad.

Badly wrong
As I said a few weeks ago .Never mind all the other issues..Two decent quality centre forwards required ASAP.Even a ‘average’ SPFL standard centre forward like Connor Salmon who can hold the ball up would improve this team.
F-A-T @ 2.31
The lack of a striker stretches into the Reserve / Youth squad.
We are a shambles at the moment due to a lack of planning.
Brendan should be moving on scott Allen & money for Kamberi.
All so sell Ntcham as his head has been turned by the money Dembele is on.
I’d punt NTcham ASAP the guys a liability. £15m for him!
Based on that “performance”, 10 IAR should be wiped from our vocabulary.
It has retreated well over the horizon.
Can someone please explain to me where the certainty comes from that we will win this league?
we can’t rely on fluking a formation like rc jf cmcg tr
It’s long time I think since Celtic lost two games in a week, so let’s see what we’re made of, two massive games coming up, we can’t be as pash as we were today..
Alternatively we could sack Brendan and get Bir Stevie Clarke in to sort out this mess:))

Thought Forrest was the only one who performed to anywhere near what we expect.
Mikey and Lewis looked eager and capable.
I’m going to use Euro hangover as an excuse. Any other reasoning would be worrying.
Ok so future planning… Boyata goes and Simunovic gets injured?
Lustig is out and has 6 months
Brown 6 months
Griff out indefinetly
How much money do we have in the bank?
The stark reality is…
A shite Rangers team could win the league.
Mainly because a shite Celtic team are hell bent in letting them
Pigheaded by Brendan. The 3 was exposed after 50 secs. The 3 was exposed for the second goal.
HT should have resulted in a change of tactics. Instead we wait till we are 2 down to throw on 2 ineffective subs. A jack of clubs for a jack of spade.
Asking Emilio to play wide left midfield role and moving SS to right to accommodate was just dumb. Emilio could have slotted into a 4 with KA as a makeshift RB.
Our MOM was a boy who came on for last 15 mins.
Ajer,no good at right back, Izzaguirre,can’t cross, Nitcham along with Edourd,punt in January,if Rodgers gets 2 Strikers to replace,one not being Shankland,Hayes not up to it, Morgan ,Johnson,and possibly Ralston,need more first team football, Surely Ralston deserve a chance at Right Back,can’t be any worse than Ajer.
We play with the same midfiled as last season and we get the dame slow build up but with all the injuries we have no option. Hope some players are back for Wed night,. I rate Nitcham think he is quality poor today though 4 games to the break? Be a slog but 4 wims will do nicely
cmon the Celtis
ON — cannot believe the collapse in his form, attitude and demeanour since the TFOD2.1 game.
I thought that his performance that day showed that he had got over the transfer window shenanigans — huge talent that has turned to dust in 3 months.
Showing himself to be very immature and very huffy.
Plus no professional pride and seems to be jealous of RC’s progress.
Concerned now about the trip to the crumble dome. Play like that at Ibroke and the Sheep pen and we will be well and truly pumped. Time to be a wee bit concerned bhoys. Fair enough we have a lot of guys out injured but those replacing them from a big squad should be stepping up and showing their worth a Celtic Jersey – IE Ryan C.
very poor today, we are in a dog fight for the league.
i think we have come back to the pack for sure.
MADMITCH
Ion response to people saying Salzburg were financially doped i published a site showing that they had a net spend which was not much different from ours.
I said they had a better and more complete scouting and coaching system.
Our forward planning is non existent on the footballing side unlike the business plan.
Like our style of play the football side of our club is merely reactionary.
Gerryfarthebrig, I think you’ll find that Ntcham chucked it the day Dembele left. IMHO obviously.

The blame for today lies squarely with Brendan Rodgers.
He over thinks, over complicates everything
McGregor was in form of his life playing as the deep lying centre mid.
Forrest was in form of his life playing wide right.
Today neither player was playing in their form positions. You have to ask why .
Mikey Johnston is clearly talented. His skill must dazzle everyone day to day in training. Everyone except Brendan Rodgers. He prefers talentless Scott Sinclair, because he has a wicked hairdoo
Remember Bhoys please over react responsibly…
The Long wait is over 2:32…..”Morgan no where good enough”…….if he was given a decent chance we might find that out…..our find of this season and arguably our best player was in the team by accident ….Ryan Christie ….he was also deemed by many on here not to be good enough, but came on against Hearts and became undroppable……..give Morgan and Mickey Johnson a chance and we may well discover we do have better players than Sinclair Ntcham and Hayes ..and allowing Calum to revert to the deeper role….onwards to Wednesday……Anyone know the extent of RC’s injury yet?….
The Usual Suspects :-)
Now that the Europa league is knockout we no longer play every midweek …
Get to January let our bhoys recharge the batteries and hopefully the consistency will be back
Remember 7 domestic defeats from one hundred and fourteen games for our manager … that’s why I “think” we might win this league
Brendan accepts blame for the result and mentioned changing the system due to injuries. Sticks up for the players.
A class act as always.

Don’t disagree we all like to play fitba with our pals :-)
dear oh dear , what a shambles of a formation that was, KA shouldn’t have been anywhere near that team today , keep it simple when you have injuries play a back 4 , CG and EI as full backs , sorry say but SB and ON bring nothing to our team as a pair of holding midfielders , both as slow as a week in the jail,SS and JF playing on opposite wings than they are used to, was that thought up on the bus going to Edinburgh , young OE has the touch of an elephant but we don’t have anyone else to play but please give him someone to play along side , not and never will be an out and out target man.
Gerryfraetgebrig,
3 out of the 7 defeats have come from the last 5 months.
Better team won today. Deserved victory, but some of our bhoys looked fatigued and not up for the fight. That said, it’s difficult to play a cup final every time you step on the park, domestically. That’s what we face though, and we need to be better than we were today.
One game. 3 points. 3 more available at home to Motherwell on Wednesday. Let’s make sure we get them.
Will leave the blog to the moaners and greetin’ faced entitled, who only ever turn up after a defeat.
?
Hibs were average and won comfortably
