As much as it pains me to say this, I seen this performance and result coming.The warning signs were there for all to see against Elfsborg and clearly showed we lacked creativity and an out and out striker like Finboagson.Massive under performance tonight, not many if any with pass marks. Feel the board has taken a massive risk due to opponents with spine of team sold for big money. Have a horrible feeling this was the plan all along hence the reduced season tickets. I still believe for next week and have my ticket but Sammy has got to play wide left and Mulgrew at centre half.Need the same commitment from our board with Finboagson and commanding centre half signed but is it all too late Mr Lawwell

I agree Paulo and fear its been a gamble too far.

Regardless of optimism, we should not be going into next week 2-0 down but the cold hard fact is we are ~ Mrs E

You mention mulgrew who was ball watching at their first goal and barely passed muster. In face he was invisible. Sammy was playing wide left although I suspect he was meant to be CF. I'm sorry but Lennon got this wrong should have changed it earlier and didn't. Brought balde on with 9 minutes to go. Neil thought he had the managerial tools following last year but we scraped through with a lot of good fortune last year and he will be found out this year. The last game was utterly rubbish in sweeden this one had no product it was clear that they couldn't defend their 6 year box but we didn't exploit it. Manager must take a lot of the blame tonight. Selection was predictable and wrong

Can we give it a break with the Finboagson stuff? All of a sudden every Celtic supporter in the world has become a talent scout and this boy is the must have player of the summer. Am I right to think real Madrid are chasing him? Man utd? Spurs even? No, but we have already put this guy on a pedestal he will struggle to live up to if we do eventually sign him. Let's see which poacher/ penalty box striker we sign and take it from there, the scouting system haven't done too bad recently so fingers crossed they unearth the next gem.

I mention Mulgrew due to knowing his capabilities, he is not a midfielder nor a left mid.Sammy was our lone striker and kept going left, his natural position.Like you I have my preferred list of transfer targets, Alfies scoring record speaks for itself that's the type of player we should aspire to, would you be happy with Doyle or some rubbish loan signing i.e. Miku or Lassad, I think not.Year after year I buy my season ticket and strips, how about our board repaying the fans with a decent signing given our income and spine of team sold
