Groundhog F’in day…
I se from the marks out of 10 that Samaras, Stokes and Forrest are continuing their consistent ‘form’…
Lennon has repeatedly told us he would be dropping players- never has the balls to do it. He has a myopic bias towards these 3 in particular.
Balde? Atajic? FFS, Neil give them a run.
Forrest is a poor man’s McGeady (and that is saying something given Aiden’s inconsistency). He can run fast- but cannot shoot and often hits first man with his crosses.
VVD will be next out- he’s from a different footballing planet than that upon which this team plays and this manager manages.
Jimmy McGrory, Paul McStay, TB, Kenny, Nicholas, Larsson, Collins, Lubo, McGrain, Aitken, Elliot, Lisbon Lions… Oh to have an ounce, just an ounce of their creativity…the Glasgow Celtic way is becoming a historical reference with this management and board…
If Forrest stays on then we either need Biton on to provide balls from him to run on to, or Commons needs to do it. Given the hole in our midfield, I’d like to see Rogic on and he needs to be given the ball. Great ball retention and drives at the defense.
I’d have Sammi off, no need for him on the left, Izzy handles that.
Forrest off as Matthews can provide options down the right.
Someone needs to explain the offside rule to Stokes, he gives me the impression that the offside rule doesent apply to him.

Poor stuff. Sloppy play , players whose body language isn’t great, terrible pitch, man short in midfield but we scored a decent goal.
Tricky 45 ahead if we dont buck up our ideas. Seems obvious to me.

Inverness have had more shots on target than Celtic. Familiar story.
Stokes has become very complacent. Time for Atajic.

It’s not BT sport that need to up their game. The product on the park may help.
But hey we are winning 1-0 and can only play better.
Aye – I think I’ll adopt that ‘being satisfied with a sh*t performance’ at my work and see how long I last as a manager…

The minimum requirement from a professional footballer is to give his best efforts while playing.To work hard and try 100%.
Today,Celtic have 3 players who are clearly not doing this.
Forrest and even more so Stokes and worst of all Samaras.
Poor stuff indeed and not acceptable

This is truly appalling – yet again a good start has been allowed to slip away
After the first 20 minutes against St J -we were poor
Today we played for 5 minutes then -basically stopped !
Beginning to wonder if Lenny ever goes on the park before picking his team?
That surface will never allow passing football -yet we have Forrest, Stokes, Samaras and Commons contributing virtually nothing
Brown is being overrun in midfield as Ledley is just going through the motions and trying to avoid injury
If we don’t get some muscle in to the midfield we could throw this away
I’d take off Samaras and Ledley and put on Biton and Rogic -let’s see what these guys can do
We are currently learning nothing that we didn’t know before the game started
Unfortunately we will do nothing until something happens on the park
Poor management in my book!

Forrest getting a bit of criticism, but there’s an issue in how he’s being played.
He’s the only guy in the team with worthwhile pace, yet the ball is always played to his feet in a static position. We need (in my view) to play him ‘on the shoulder’, looking time and again to play the ball to him on the run, facing forward.
This has the added benefit of stretching the space between ICT’s defence and midfield, creating more space for Commons to do his thing.
Stokes seems to get a starting slot on the basis that he can’t be any less influential than the last game.
Sammi seems out of sorts. Maybe still feeling the bruising on his ankle from the Boxing day fixture.
In any event, we need pace, and neither Stokes not Commons have any.

Seems we are in a minority.
Santa hasn’t been good enough to bring us a 5:0 Celtic that we, apparently, had every week of our childhood.

I know my Celtic history. Does that count?
Every league win, I have seen was made up of 5 great games, 25 middling ones and half a dozen forgettable ones.
This is no different than any other era except we are wearing our rose tinted specs.
Off to watch the 2nd half.

Unsurprising… entirely predictable…NL seems unable to change a game after the first whistle…
It is beyond shocking that he didn’t feel compelled to sub any one from JF, AS or GS. How must the subs feel?
I suggest NL will feel compelled to bring on Pukki for Stokes after 60 and Balde will probably be asked to warm up about 85 mins… same old same old….

Crab football at snails pace. We’re now replicating our home form to away games where we have been good this season.
