Reading a lot of news reports today that have been posted after match. A lot of them saying we have a mole in the club and our starting 11 always leaks out before we play rangers. I thought that was already sorted that they found the mole.

Also I thinking the players aren't responding with the management team. Is Damain Duff a bigger loss than we thought and Gavin Strachan isn't up for it. You practice your play and defending in training but we look like a team who haven't trained in months. Our team is slow and passing back the ball all them.

The players look like they don't have a clue how to play as the management team doesn't know the best formation to play, don't know the best 11 and players in right positions. We bought Turnhill, Soro, shaved now out on loan. But Lennon still picks Ntcham in the team . We are buying players but they will never get a chance in the first team with Lennon.

Totally lost the dressing room and regardless if we end up winning the league it's time for him to walk, we have a decent squad of players but Lennon just doesn't know how to get the best out of them, a total change in management is needed with a new sense of direction.

Lennon, Kennedy and strachan should walk and a new manager with his own ideas and backroom team should come in, would like to see broony take up the coaching role so someone is there who's been through it to give advice.

I'm not buying this whole it's early in the season patter, he's had 18 months to move forward and he's made this squad go backwards.

To put it into hindsight, he's played rangers 6 times and won 3 and lost 3. Even the games we won rangers have been the far better team, we just got lucky.

Rangers have a team of players who want to play for their manager, we're the polar opposite, the performances don't lie.

Either play Duffy in a 4 or get him to **** carthorse, first goal on him must hold the line donkey, get him to ****. That lot were not great, we are just ****in awful. Lennon knew how they were going to line up they only play 1 way yet we make it easy for them.

Imo defence looks worse since Duffy came in.

Apart from the Cup final where Fringpong was sent off he has been bullied out the game there's no doubt he is great with the ball one on one they just overload that side and ping balls on top of him. That's why for all his skills he couldn't cut it down the road. We will get going again but we need Griff and Eddy in the team Ntcham and Moi not for me Big Fraz is a miss but HH onwards and upwards.

Ntcham is a complete waste of a Jersey. Could never understand why so many wanted him in the team. He goes missing too often. This is the guy who not only said he wanted to leave but also said he was too good for the standard of our league. I w ould take Lewis Ferguson over him. I'd prob take Power and Dicker too. Believes his own hype. Maybe he is only in the team to try and keep Eddy sweet. Who knows. One thing it's not is his performances. He is a Championship player at best.

I really hope this isn't going to be a regular occurrence with Duffy, absolutely dreadful the past few games and can only hope he's still getting there in terms of match sharpness. Barkas is a complete waste of money, said it before on here that signing a foreign keeper was a massive risk and so far been proved right. He's had enough time to settle but his reactions are woeful.

The only centre mid I would keep is mcgregor, brown is totally past it and if he has any respect for the fans he should step aside for the good of the team, he does nothing but slow the game down because he clearly hasn't got the legs anymore.

Ntcham is quite possibly in the top 5 who are a waste of a celtic jersey and elyounoussi is right behind him, absolutely diabolical and shouldn't be near the team.

Time for a total revamp with mcgregor christie and turnbull in the middle, Forrest and laxalt on the wings when he's fit.

Some might disagree but I really think frimpong is overrated and looks lost half the time, a bit of speed about him that's about it.

Duffy i got told numerous times on here. He was exactly what we need a no nonsense defender. Carthorse!

We need a management overhaul starting in boardroom with lawwell.

Is that 5-3-2 we are playing? Or a 4-2-3-1.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I reckon it's either a back 5 or the more likely back 3 in a 3-5-1-1(2?) with Moi playing just off Klimala.........

Who called Welsh earlier? That was some prediction!

The defense was always going to be our biggest problem and I only hope Welsh is not conned by The Coo to give Beaton his cue.
Most of the others have been here before although I would want Griffiths on at some stage.
They have a very settled team and style and that is the only thing that would concern me although home advantage will settle us more.

If we win with that team then . wow . just wow.

I think we are all going to have to be honest and say it doesn't look very hopeful with that team.
For the first time in a very long time, their team including the subs looks just as strong as oura.

That team looks disjointed, it seems like Lenny looked at the players available, and decided to pick the worst possible combination of outfield players that he could have .

Lennon is tactically unaware and has to go before it gets too late. I had a feeling we would lose today I just hope its not a hiding.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Oct 2020 14:27:20
We didn’t just lose, yet again we where dominated only this time it was more embarrassing.

Lennon is our biggest liability and only those with green tinted specs seen anything other than a Rangers win.

Seen this coming for months.
I hope that the Lennon brigade now realise that we are in trouble this season.

Lennon has to go and I wish the board would listen to the fans. That performance was pathetic.

Kevin

Lennon is out of his depth
And had lost the dressing room

I think he will quit very soon.

Enrico is bemused by that whole performance from start to finish. Just shocking.

As are we

If this happened in italy NL would wake up tomorrow with a severed horses head in his bed.

Sorry but lennon got his selection wrong. Griff should have started or at least have been on at half time. Ntcham was a passenger and doesn't seem up for it. Best player for me was young Welsh. Played great considering his game time. Anyway onwards and upwards lads. Take it in the chin and move on. They will slip up as usual. We need to beat the sheep and go on another long run. Hail hail πŸ™Œ.

Agree0 Disagree0

Said earlier in this post, madness. Complete utter madness. That’s one of the worst performances I can recall.

Those who constantly say Ntcham is our best player are absolutely deluded. He was absolutely anonymous again today when it counts.

Could discuss the performance but no point flogging a dead horse.

That is the problem right there Gerry with your "They will slip up as usual"Comment
Our big problem now is that I wouldn't trust Lennon and this team not to drop even more points in the next few games as we have a real difficult run of away games.
We are already playing catch up even although we have a game in hand and now because they have a better points per game ratio, if this C.V. thing gets worse and causes the league to be called early the Rangers will be screaming to be awarded the league like we were last season.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2020 20:51:23
Jonbhoy, was agreeing with you right up to the point where you said we were screaming for the league to be called early last season. I don't know any Celtic fan who didn't want the league to run it's course last season!

Fair point Pod
Was with him up to that point.

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Oct 2020 22:17:33
Pod,
Sorry but I wasn't saying we were screaming for the league to be called, I actually meant that the league was called and we were awarded the league due to points per game ratio and they will be screaming that the same is done this season even if we have played 20/ 25 or 30 games. Gerry mentioned that they will slip up but we might not get the chance to catch them this time if the league is called early
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
