  1. Always thot give the manager a chance…now do i want him to continue to be in charge and spend money?…not so sure now.

     

    Board look like they’ve really fekd up wi the cheap option now. There is nothing here to indicate good football could be on its way. Team looked like a 1st division team during the first half….

  2. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    Didn’t have high expectations tonight but that first half performance was fucking garbage. Wilfried well on his way to 5 defeats in 7. If he makes it 6 in 8 by the end of the huns game we’ll likely be in 3rd place. What scandalous garbage we have in the Boardroom. Get them all in the sea. All Celtic fans against the Board.

     

     

    PS well done Motherwell for thoroughly outclassing Europe’s best run club in the first half.

  3. While Nancy has to take full responsibility for the players picked and the set up, he certainly doesn’t take any responsibility for most of the team being unable to pass to a teammate or win a tackle.

     

    While we’ve been second best they are no 1970 World Cup Brazil team although you would think they were listening to Michael Stewart!

    Utter shite . I can see no direction of upward travel here . I hope Nancy has some man management skills to go with his tactical ‘genius’ , even a wee bit of hair dryer treatmant because this is not a team I recognise as a Celtic team .

     

     

    Not entirely his fault , too many of our players don’t have the ability and character required of a Celtic player and that’s down to recruitment . Nancy needs to own what’s happening on the pitchin the second half though as there are no board members in that dressing room .

  5. Second best in every area of the pitch with a manager who has been out-thought and out- organised by every coach he has come up against so far in Scotland. Mowbreyesque levels of delusion about how the game should be played. For heavens sake play players in their natural positions.

     

     

    Heartbreaking how out of his depth this manager appears to be.

     

     

    The players seem as bewildered as he is.

  6. Absolute shocker….

     

     

    Players don’t know what they should be doing…all over the place……

     

     

    Motherwell players passing it around like Barcelona… ffs !!

  7. Nobody knows what they are doing.Nobody moving into space,when they recieve a pass they look backwards.

     

    When they said it was maybe Nancy,me and my mates were saying,” What about the Well manager”.He had already turned Well around,you could see it.It would have been seamless.None of this shit.

     

    But that’s our Board.

  8. It’s Nancy starting eleven thats the problem,Wilfried needs to change these tactics in the second half,if not then we will drop 3 points, Nicholson saying that the manager needs 2 seasons, well that will be 2 leagues lost ,change the manager now ,

  9. agree we used to ask how do we beak down 10 men behind the ball , now we are asking how do we play against any team that attack us, soul destroying how far we have regressed , taxi for WN.

  10. Any attempts on goal by us?

     

     

    Don’t count Yang’s shite header.

     

     

    Maybe if we had a centre forward or two.

  11. Nygren seems to be playing an inside right kinda position. He’s been our best midfield player last couple games and he’s now being asked to hang out up front with Maeda?

     

     

    I’d get Ralston and Bernardo off for Donovan and Engels. Get Nygren back into midfield with Maeda up front on his own. Calmac needs to step up – he doesn’t even look interested.

  12. McPhail Bhoy

     

     

    its the set up that causes the team to be unable to pass to a teammate or win a tackle.

     

     

    When we are pressed, we dont have a clue what to do with the ball

     

     

    We are always out of position, not running into space and not covering the space and runs when we dont have the ball

     

     

    We are clueless

     

     

    This is the set up

  13. Nicholson saying that the manager needs 2 seasons, well that will be 2 leagues lost ,change the manager now ,

     

    That’s why Nicholson should never have been appointed CEO of our football club.

     

     

    That and many other things.

  14. Again,we are all blaming the manager.

     

    This Board knew about him,knew his plans,knew the state our squad was in,and still hired him,and let him loose.

     

    Why,FFS.

  15. Only positive is that Celtic are there is only one goal in this?

     

     

    Once more in English.

     

    Only positive for Celtic is that there is only one goal in this. Though I doubt that will be the case for much longer

  16. too many of our players don’t have the ability and character required of a Celtic,

     

     

    WN doesn’t have the ability and character required of a Celtic manager.

  17. looks like 6 or 7 players – i.e. everyone but the defence have chucked it

     

     

    The defence cant chuck it….yet

     

     

    When they do its curtains

  18. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    Been supportive of Wilfried because of the dreadful context of his appointment. However, if we lose tonight and the huns game he needs to go, along with Tisdale and our clown show CEO. We’re not a Petri dish for a jobbing MLS manager,even if he us cheap..

  19. To be this disorganised and poor is genuinely shocking.

     

     

    I’ve no idea what we’ve done in training since WN has come in because I can’t ascertain any patterns whatsoever to our game. None.

     

     

    Motherwell are tanking us and look well placed for their first win in 36 against us.

  20. Players dont seem to know how to play Nancy’s formation / tactics. Hatate and Bernardo being caught in no msns land or losing the ball high in attacking positions. Maeda, Yang and Nygren are static or spectators.

     

     

    Dare I say it but we need Kenny or Shin up front. The link up play brings the midfield and wingers into play.

  21. FAVOURITE UNCLE on

    MOTHERWELL passing CELTIC off the park. They always have a free man.

     

     

    As for MOTHERWELL player who fouled with studs .Those of you who can cast your mind back to TOMMY GEMMELL getting tripped by GERMAN player ,BIG TAM got up chased after him and kicked his legs from under him. Lots of tut tutting and OH DEARY ME. Now did anyone ever again trip BIG TAM.

     

     

    Hate to be a killjoy but as things stand HUNS are chasing HERTS and they will play like the HARLEM GLOBE TROTTERS and HERTS wont get a decision from now till MAY.

     

     

    PS this manager is SHIT.

  22. the long wait is over on

    We’re a poorer team with Hatate playing.

     

     

    He’s just a black hole for any hope of getting forward. Every bit of energy from any attack just dies whenever he gets involved.

     

     

    Looks utterly disinterested and dispirited and has done for a while.

  23. Turkeybhoy

     

     

    There are many reasons they did appoint him, I assume.

     

     

    Like in most walks of life, the bullsjhitters get promotions, prove to hopeless, then are protected by those who put them in place.

     

     

    We need to change the ‘rules’ of appointing duds and make the bosses accountable.

  24. I think we’d be in a better position now had Desmond randomly picked a fan outta the north stand to take the team 4 weeks ago.

  25. the long wait is over on

    Three changes at half time.

     

     

    I’m glad in the context of this game and given how poor we’ve been but what does that say about his choices in the first place.

     

     

    I’ve never called any Celtic manager a clown but …

  26. I heard Nancy saying that he wants to sign players with personality. I’d much prefer ones who can play football. This is all looking so bad.

  27. The defence cant chuck it….yet

     

     

    our defence cant chuck it ….. they don’t have the ability too …. that how they play period in this system

  28. 67 European Cup Winners on

    I hate myself for this comment

     

    It’s no surprise and I said do

     

     

    This guy is not our guy

  29. Agree with all the posters saying that this is the worst performance since Mowbray. It looks more like a game from last mid season but with the teams having swapped shirts!

     

     

    One of the following needs to happen, and very soon:

     

     

    1. The board tell Nancy to ditch his ridiculous defensive system. You can’t win games by playing with one defender in the middle and two in the opposition half.

     

     

    2. The board needs to sack Nancy and appoint a manager who knows how to set up a team to play to their strengths and who knows at least something about Scottish football.

     

     

    3. The players need to ignore Nancy and adopt the same game plan, formation and tactics that won them the league on 13 of the last 14 years.
