It's only my opinion, don't ban me ed😂
But when people talk of Lennon's style of play and are not looking forward to it I have to say I was totally sick of watching BR style.
The back passing and lack of forward passing was so frustrating and I wasn't turning up at CP with much hope of watching a good attacking performance.
Time will tell if it's going to work out or not.
But we will loose a a cup game sooner or later. we will loose leaguegames.
We lost games under BR.
AVB is going to France. (never going to happen)
Rafa, Newcastle takeover (never going to happen)
Steve Clark (sectarianism never going to happen)
An unknown manager from abroad.?
I don't think many managers working in the EPL or the championship would give it up to come to Scotland.
For me it was between Lennon and Moyes.
I think we picked the right one.

First of all, the unfair chore of CL qualifiers. If we don’t qualify then what .? Bad start to the season! It’s going to be a huge call. Paul Lambert? . Since NL came back imo the only game we played well was the Aberdeen away game. Total trash at Ibrox. Just can’t see it .

I remember when the last manager took over and he stated the players and supporters would have to learn to get used to the passing from the back and possession retention style and at first we did pass teams off the park and create openings and chances.
However after the invincible season most opponents adjusted to counter this style, flooding the midfield, high press and defending in depth. Opposition teams stifled us as they perfected that style of 'play', while we failed to work on a plan B and our slick passing, directness and pace has all-but faded away.
Worst of all IMO is the utter waste of dead-ball situations every game where we always earn plenty corners/ free kicks and convert virtually zero into goals and that is very unlike a Celtic side.
It will take another re-education and a freshening up in key areas to overcome these problems and although I find it ridiculous that a club of our size and ability are so lacking in dead-ball goals, it will take a better coach than NL to improve plan B or even C.

Once a Bhoy. Griffiths was missing for half a season and took nearly all the free kicks and corners on the right side. Nobody replaced him. Sinclair takes the left side corners but Lennon hasn't played him very much.

sjaldad; Celtic are jam packed with International players and it's absurd that most of them can't/ won't take a corner or free kick of any quality to create goal scoring chances.
These are basic skills from schoolboy football and should be at least practiced to a fine art at training and practice sessions.
Relying on the two players you mentioned - one who missed so much of the season - is even more disappointing and lacking foresight.

Have to agree with you jungle John with regards to the way we were playing at the end of BR times. Lots of possession but going sideways. And definitely some of the managers listed were pie in the sky. Saw today AVB is getting 7.2 million to manager in france. let's just hope that lawell backs Lennon from the start.
