There were some green shoots of recovery against Milan, especially second half. Lennon needs to look at the difference between the two halves and question why that was? Who went off and who came on etc and act accordingly - no old pals act.

For me it's about energy, attitude and organisation - we haven't been showing it by and large and I have a nagging worry that the improved performance against Milan was no more than the lure of the shop window for some. I hope I'm wrong and tomorrow will let us know the answer to that. IMHO we have the better players individually but our neighbours over the road have the trinity above over us in spades at the moment. There is no point having a Ferrari if it refuses to pass 50MPH.

I like Lennon but it's apparent that he hasn't the tools to sustain a successful managerial career. In my opinion he was benefitting from the methods of the previous incumbent but the legacy left to him has slowly been degraded through time to a place where we find ourselves traversing today. That is to say more his team, his tactics his training methods and his team selections. I've no doubt at all that he is trying like a bear (pardon the expression) and is hurting like the rest of us but the phrase " you can't put in what God left out" is becoming more and more apparent.

As it stands we have lost nothing more than one game against them, we are only 1pt behind. We still have the destiny of all the trophies in our own hands. The time for panic is not now but the time for a radical change in the trinity is now. Over to you, Lennon, if you can?

Later Champions.

Lennon has won more as a manager than gerrard ever will. All this talk of him being hopeless and has lost the dressing room is just nonsense.

Tomorrow we will know if the players have grit for Lennon which I am sure they have . Looking for an aggressive start from the off tomorrow because that’s what we will be meet with that’s for sure with plenty of balls punted into our box .

LAW how do you explain us being beaten in the last 2 games and dominated in the last 3 against slippy despite having a far superior squad if it isn't down to tic tacs.

@Paythefacepainter

Let's take it one game at a time.

The League Cup final we were missing our main right back El Hamed and no strikers as we played Lewis Morgan up front. Add to that the players looked knackered.

The new year game we had just played 5 games in 15 days and looked absolutely knackered.

Recent match, we had 5 key players out and only fully fit striker was someone who is 4th choice.

Don't get me wrong, I do think Lennon made mistakes with tactics and team selections as well but that does not make him clueless.

If he is so clueless how come we have had massive results in Europe under him? How come we have won so many trophies with him at the helm?

If players are not playing for him and there has been a fall out then how do you explain our come back after new year last season? How do you explain that we are potentially only 1 point behind Rangers if we win our game in hand, despite them being such an amazing team (allegedly) who are on amazing form?

I am not saying we have been great this season as I know that is not the case but we have had a lot of key players out and have not had many games with a full strength defence, add to that the fact we have been impacted with C.V. on two occassions. I am confident that we will bounce back and clean the floor with Rangers once we have our team full fit and everyone to chose from.

If he is so hopeless how come he has won us so many trophies and got us some great results in Europe as well?

Don't get me wrong he is not without fault and there are things that annoy me about him.
