Why is he still here this morning never mind being able to whinge to his pals in the press. you have to ask yourself why he has pals in a press who despise our club. he won't resign as he will never get another gig. PL is too cheap to sack him. so we are stuck with him for the season. once we blow the league my only hope is that PL goes with him. HH.

Regardless of his poor tactics yesterday the players brought in aren't good enough
1. Stuart Armstrong went to Southampton and is in the first 11 for the saints most of the time, because he improved their team, we have taken Moi from saints, a player that can't get a game for them but gets games for us, that shows a weakness to our progress.
Recruitment error.
2. We need a CB like Duffy, but we don't need him playing in a back 3, he is there to clear his lines and score the odd goal, that's it, not touch the ball more than the rest of the team.
NL error with tactics
3. Polish Paddy is not good enough yet to play for Celtic, I like his attitude but he is clearly not ready, he might never be ready.
Recruitment error.
4. Scott Brown is last his best, has been for 2 seasons, great to have in the squad but should of been replaced 2 years ago, hope he manages the club one day, love the guy, he can't help his lack of pace in his older years, great passer of the ball, great leader, but too slow especially in old firm games. Maybe Ajer has been the obvious player we could play there as he drives forward with the ball it creates space and he can defend, but not defend like a CB.
Recruitment error.
5. Laxalt in on loan cheap option instead of purchasing a level up from Taylor
Recruitment error
6. Ntcham not good enough to wear a celtic shirt, simple
Recruitment error
7. Barkas not in the same bracket as forster
Recruitment error
8. Playing 3 5 2 was weak and lacked any sort of confidence for a home game.
NL error with tactics.
9. CalMac playing deep instead of running and opening defences which is what he is best at.
NL error.

The main issue we have is recruitment, I would rather see 11 young bhoys that have come through the youth set up play for the shirt for 90 minutes and get beat 4 nil off that mob than the way we set up and played with the players we have.
Its beyond the joke, youngsters leaving our academy to go to bayern munich and the like because they haven't got a clear pathway to the first 11 because they know we will buy or loan rubbish foreign players who aren't worth the price tag they came for, waste of money constantly,
Celtic board should be ashamed of themselves, winning domestic trophies because the competition wasn't around was expected, however during that success we should of strengthened and avoided this current situation.
Rant over.

You lost me at the point where you mention Ajer could replace Scott Brown and Laxalt was probably our best performer yesterday - his first game for the club. I agree with some of what you say, however some of it is absolute tosh!

Ajer is a cdm, he could and should of been aged there a long time ago, we've converted him to CB which hasn't worked according to plan, if you read carefully Miko you will realise that I never said ajer would be the replacement for Brown, only could've been playing there instead of Brown, the replacement should have been bought 2 year ago.
Laxalt did play well yesterday, never said anything about him playing poorly did i? I said we chose the cheap option of not purchasing a level up from Taylor, loan players are what they are, i wanted the club to sign a LB and they had plenty time to buy one, instead loan as per usual.
So miko I think the only thing tosh mate is your reading ability.
