Pity we didn’t have a Norwegian or two who would know this ground, the surface, be used to this weather and know this pub team’s tactics.
Embarrassing.
If same tactics and personnel second half RONNY will have lost more than the match.
Joe Filippis Haircut on
Now is not the time to bleat about changing our manager its a time for the manager and the team to roll up there sleeves and try to give us a big second half. If you want to slaughter our manager lets wait to see how the game ends. H.H.

Organisation beats an expansive system that leaves us woefully exposed.
The gaps between Celtic players is frightening and this necessity to have both full backs pushing up the park is torturing us time and time again.
MikeyBhoy on
Continually playing forward passes that just aren’t there. Boyata’s got punished, but others also guilty. Genuinely didn’t realise Kris Commons was playing until the 38th minute (but then its not the best feed I’m watching on)

Love Izzy but he really needs to be aware of what’s around him. Shades of Maribor.
Molde very well drilled. Will be very difficult to find a way through them. Best chance might be to break from one of their breaks when they commit some men forward.
Maybe see GMS second half?
LondonBhoy on
I’m in the pro Ronny camp but I have to admit that was utter Shyte from 4 mins onwards. No one taking responsibility for changing the tempo. The whole team are terrified of 2 bomb scares at centre half.
Hope we can turn it around but we need a massive change in attitude
Snake Plissken on
Carbon copy of the Malmo game
Good start.
Griffiths misses a good chance and then we collapse.
Set pieces and crossed balls and giveaways YET again and YET again the same awful mistakes are made by the same awful management team and players.
If Celtic lose this match I really think it is time for people to be honest and say this needs to stop and Deila needs to be taken in tomorrow morning and relieved.
He is not learning from his mistakes and continues to play the same stupid system and players in it who have failed him time and time again.
Winning a one team league where and Aberdeen team has imploded after a good start does not make a manager for me.
The players?
Who the hell knows?
After playing as they did against Fenerbache they go to this shambles.
No penetration at all. No threat. No hope. No chance.
If this is a severe beating tonight then I simply cannot fathom how any Celtic fan can sit there and say this is in any way progress or acceptable.
Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on
They (Molde) looked like St Johnstone for the first ten min’s ..
After our Defence\GK looked amateurish in conceding the first goal ..
They (Molde) have looked like Barcelona .. More than capable of giving out gutless\clueless team a severe humping.
vale bhoy on
I hope someone in the studio has counted the number of times we have given the ball away.
I’m sure that the figures would amaze any proper managers and make our players a laughing stock among their peers.
I am sick of performances like this.
The mistakes we make are ones which other teams simply don’t.
Molde aren’t a great team but they know how to play against us. We are so predictable.
Take far too many passes to get the ball forward, allow the opposition to pack and organise their defence, try an intricate through ball or shoot widely over.
Then repeat.
Oglach on
Indisputable facts – 1st half.
Molde tactically superior to Celtic. Allow Celtic to retain possession, defend in depth, wait for a mistake and then attack with pace. They have done their homework and have successfully exploited our weaknesses.
Celtic with the majority of possession are struggling to break down a well organised defence. Ponderous and mistake prone in the build up means that any chances have been limited to a couple of half chances. LG should have done better when a good position but conditions likely had a lot to do with his poor touch.
expat_celt on
They may be average but they’re well organized. Remember they’re top of the group for a reason.
Cambhoy on
Scott Brown, captains performance my arse, he can’t wait to get rid of the ball. Pass side ways, pass backwards… Clueless
Burnley78 on
Not sure what is worse :
The weather
The pitch
Celtic’s tactics
Celtics ability
Celtics effort
All atrocious in my opinion.
Mr Pastry on
As I said on previous thread – how can the fools among us shout about us winning?
This a seriously shit Celtic team and it and management are being kept alive by winning against Vanarama type teams in the increasingly irrelevant Scottish league.
We are as much of a laughing-stock on the field, as the huns are off it – this Norwegian team could score FIVE tonight.
Stringer Bell on
That is the worst 45 mins I have seen from Celtic for years. Literally years.
It was awful
Conditions may be playing a part, but the whole team is rudderless and abject.
Lustig won’t last 90.
izzy can’t get any change down his side
Boyata is ceding possession endlessly
Brown is deeply ineffectual. Griffiths, Armstrong and commons ditto.
We need a huge second half shake, but they will sit in and it will be a hard slog.
Why do we need to try to horse into teams who want to sit back and let us do just that, are we that thick, that naive?
Tontine Tim on
Oh dear the usual suspects are in early and happy tae, even blaming Celtic for the early ko in the return. I’m 3500 miles away and just happy tae see them.

Nothebus… Noted.
bigshuggy on
Surface poor and waterlogged. But what a shambles. Everyone awful, passing dreadful. A spineless performance after a good start.
glendalystonsils on
Passing teams off the park is fine if it’s punctuated by passes which actually hurt the opposition. A slow build up is fine if you suddenly inject a bit of pace or an incisive forward pass.
We seem to be capable of neither. The pitch is making passing difficult but not as difficult as we seem to be finding it. Ronny has to at least try to sort it out. No disrespect but we should be beating teams of this standard.
son of the helm on
This is difficult to watch. The same players making familiar mistakes. Cheap goals given away.
The tactic of trying to pass through a swamp seems optimistic. Long balls to Ciftci to hold up, put pressure on defenders for mistakes, with Leigh working around him makes more sense to me in these conditions.
Our opponents have come back from 2 down against us several times now. Have Celtic got what it takes?
Burnley78 on
20 sideways passes then giving the ball away is not good enough.
stephbhoy on
We are shite, that was awful, cant pass 5 yards, this cant go on, get the kids in and get these imposters out of the team and club, joke, joke, joke

Johanssen has been abysmal this season,I agree on that.
But he was POTY last year.
So,you can’t criticise his signing. Certainly you can criticise his current selection.

Canamalar on
Right up to the last 30 yds we’ve been moving well, hit the 30 yd mark and we become static no one seems to be trying to find space or trying to create space.
BIG-CUP-WINNERS on
I was really surprised they didn’t nick the ball off one of our centre backs. They are too close to Efe and Dedryck in that first half. Thing is we have a manager I suspect who is unable to change things due to the players at his disposal but primarily because he is unwilling to adapt to suit the actual 90 minutes.
iki on
Hardly a player who has not given away possession. Given, not lost.
thetimreaper on
Passing so far very poor, but, and it’s a big but, conditions are atrocious. Playing into Molde hands. Horrible defending for both goals, Boyata, Efe and Izzy all culpable.
beatbhoy on
Even WGS can’t defend the indefensibles tonight!
That first goal was a joke, 3 errors contributing to it.
By which I mean honking defending and honkinger crosses into the box. And don’t get me started on…uch I won’t even start myself.
Mon the hoops – let’s get a shot on target…

Stan Petrov looking very well.
jinkyredstar on
One of the most disgraceful performances I have witnessed from a Celtic team- RD will carry the Can but it is players who deliver – or not. passing is non existent, defending is Primary 3 at best, high ball to non existent big Striker, passes to nowhere or Molde. We have time yet and we’ve done it before but U fear this group of players is well short of Celtic standard.

gcctim on
I always list two weeks as my worst Celtic supporting days – was in Zagreb then got soacked wet thro in Zurich watching pash Celtic teams. This feels like that.. Huge second half for RD. If he was sacked tomoro who would be unhappy? Sorry, our team looks clueless. 3 goals, unlikely.

Time and a place for comments like those,mate.
And it’s not during the game.
We are playing poorly after a decentish start,we need to regroup and sort it.
Keep the pitchforks till later,mate. There will be plenty of time for them,believe me.
A tactical shambles.
Boyata is more of a bombscare than Efe.
Pity we didn’t have a Norwegian or two who would know this ground, the surface, be used to this weather and know this pub team’s tactics.
