simple question. why do you think the team are so far off it just now. these are profetional players on good wages. many international players. so what's the problem?

The constant injuries have been a factor but not an excuse,
The manager bemoaning the quality and passing the buck to the new arrivals has been a factor but not and excuse.
The head-scratching recruitment decisions over two 'windows' have been a factor but not an excuse.
The indifferent form of Cal-Mac and several other players most of the term that we know can do better is a factor but not an excuse.
The manager advocating quick passing, high tempo football, and watching them lapse into tedium is a factor but not an excuse.
The negative atmosphere between Board and Support, filtering down to the players is a factor but not an excuse.
The change of manager and personnel is an issue but not an excuse.
Interruptions to any momentum due to International and winter breaks is a factor but not an excuse.
Being overconfident and cocky after holding an early 8 point lead over Beale's Bingers may be a factor, but not an excuse.
Add them all together or permutate a few and you may have reasons but not an excuse. Celtic as a club have complacently dropped their guard and their standards from a position of strength YET AGAIN.

Absolutely Gerry; Celtic have played 32 competitive matches in all competitions all season and how many games have we actually played like we should/ could have and the support enjoyed?
The list of 'factors' are real enough, but the manager and players have all fallen well below the standards we know and expect.
Some would call us 'entitled' but when you see the poor standard of the SPL and even the acceptable CL group we were part of, it is certainly a case of 'Should do better'. My worry is getting back to a consistency and confidence required to win the remaining 2 trophies that has been missing far too often so far?

A fit Hatate and on form Hatate is out on his own as a top SPL midfielder, he also makes MO’R a better player . With these 2 in form Kyogo would be getting the service that he needs to make him a leading goal scorer .
Similarly a fit CCV. helps all the back four to up their game and play better
We miss CCV and Hatate so much.

So in summary. If the guy whos a bit better than me at work is sick. i can just make minimal effort til he's back? Its fine. My boss won't expect me to carry the excess?

Rodgers is a fud. Wirse than bringimg Lennon back. only loves himself. Has thrown the team under the bus so many times already. the football is rubbish to watch and the players look dejected.
