Celtic banter 10

Thank god that team never made the cl we'd have been annihilated but that's the team the board were going with, shame on them.

The manager and players need questions asked of them.

Al say it again Schmeichel is finished and Rodgers needs to take him out and save the mans dignity, sinasola has to come in, Schmeichel cost us the cup final, hiw many times did he give the ball away and I could see that shot coming last night.

Didn't help that Bernardo made no attempt to close the guy down.

03 Oct 2025 08:24:04
People now being forcibly ejected for voicing their opinion! Club is absolutely toxic ATM.

03 Oct 2025 15:57:52
What happened?

03 Oct 2025 07:44:32
I know some players are not playing well but Rodgers is 100% to blame for our form just now.
His tactics are killing these players stone dead, couple that with the fact he is playing so many players out of position
Mcgregor who isn't a number 6 but playing there
Engels who is a number 6 but at 8 to accommodate Mcgregor
Bernardo who is a number 6 or right side Central midfielder but playing left centre
Maeda upfront and out right
Nygren is a winger and Rodgers playing him at 8
Iheanacho played about 30 yards from goal with his back to it.
Add to the his absolute bizarre subs, is it any wonder we are struggling?

On top of that he is playing politics and 100% putting his own reputation before the good of the clubs.

Kev - don’t agree with most of your post apart from Engels must go to 6 - we are lucky to have Brendan and he has a part in where we are with Europe but most of the blame lies with the board.

Celtic have failed to score in 5 of our last 9 games.

Last season Celtic only failed to score in 5 games for the whole season which included playing in 10 CL matches.

Brendan did however struggle in his first season back with it only taking him until November 7th to record his 5th match without scoring.

In the 2022/ 23 season under Ange,
Celtic only failed to score 4 times for the whole season.

In Ange's first season,
Celtic failed to score 7 times for the full season.

Brendan in his first spell went through periods when his Celtic team would struggle to score goals but he would somehow find a solution.

Brendan mentioned last night it was his job to find a solution to our dry spell once again.

Poor all over the pitch we are soft no physicality easy to play against and Rodgers needs to bin his pal Schmeichel he's finished.

03 Oct 2025 06:02:24
The players especially the likes of the captain have been hiding to a certain extent behind all the abuse the board and manager have been getting, but they should be getting held accountable more, especially for our european form this season.
Our players should have been good enough to beat the kazakhs without any instructions and probably beat braga also.
Whats been going on behind the scenes has in a way give the players, especially the senior players a free pass in all this.
They need to be held more accountable and 90% of them need punted very quickly, starting with Mcgregor and Schmeichel in January.
Start a rebuild around a new captain.

03 Oct 2025 06:42:40
I put their performance down to our board as they are the ones who failed to strengthen and are the root cause of all the negativity surrounding Celtic at this moment.

03 Oct 2025 07:44:02
Our midfield has been non existent since February. The gaps we leave in the middle of the park are unbelievable. it's been happening for months and not just this season.

It's going to be a slog until January and even then I don't trust us to make the necessary changes or recruitment. It's a notoriously "hard transfer window".

There's not much to cheer at the games right now and BR is far too stubborn to change his tactics. His half time changes last night were absolutely baffling.

Iv said it before, everyone has his tactics and Celtic well and truly sussed. Long long season ahead.

03 Oct 2025 08:25:49
A huge amount of work required on our squad.

Last year we scored the most amount of goals in a season in the last 54 years, excelled in the champions league and were a penalty kick away from a treble.

Then the board got involved, sold the players who scored all those goals and inexplicably had no plan to replace

Then they stab the manager in the back with no consequence as yet.

And we have fans who wonder why the team is struggling and can’t score!

And the bank balance keeps rising.

Schmeichel and McGregor definitely fall into that category with serious question marks over the continued selection of Maeda and Tierney who are offering nothing like what they are capable of - for probably different reasons. The manager has also covered his back during this whole fiasco, but even the supporters are distracted and nullified by the sins of our disruptive and destructive Board.

03 Oct 2025 05:49:36
Results aside, what was thoughts on formation change, for me didn’t work, issue for me was glaring whole game, tonetki meada Nygren calmac (Bernardo not so sure) add subs to it and none of them spotted forward pass/ runs at any point and opted easy pass, this meant not getting through lines and recycling ball constant (Nygren mad the run consistently) runs aside he offered not much entire game.

03 Oct 2025 08:57:12
For far too long our back four and midfield opt for the easy pass ) usually side or back) and slow the game down. One of the few midfielders who looked to play forward was MOR but too many others are being influenced too much by the captain.
I think our wide players are also encouraged to cut back too often.
I remember the manager saying during his first stint, that the support would have to learn to be patient as keeping possession was more important. Unfortunately, we have become tippy-tappy and safety first. However the amount of times the fannying about has led to mistales and even conceding goals is there for all to see.

IV never binned a game early in my time as a Tim. that's twice this season.

03 Oct 2025 07:28:45
I don't think I can watch this Celtic team any more. Its been months and months of awful football. The problem has to be the coaching and its needs changed asap.

02 Oct 2025 22:41:10
We pretty much agree the midfield is a problem.

Nygren - passive
Engels - passive
McGregor - passive
Hatate - passive

Forrest, Tounetchi, McCowan seem to show a wee bit of interest but where's the snarling, creative, penetrating midfield we used to know? Where's Fortress Parkhead?

I've also noticed the time we dwell on the ball before passing it - if we can get back to the one touch we used to have we would be a far better side.

03 Oct 2025 07:29:07
I disagree. Its the coaching.
