Celtic v CFR Cluj - Paradise, Tuesday 13 August - all comments here

Spot on mate. It's a costly mistake but he's far from the only one who should be carrying the can for tonight. From boardroom to dressing room there are people who need to have a right good look at themselves. Crazy thing about tonight is we looked fucking awesome in attack and looked like fucking amateurs at the back :LOL:
True but not so crazy when you watch and see time after time for at least 2 seasons that we have no defensive midfield bar Broony, trying to cover it all.
No defense can cope with 2 close lines attacking!
Opposing midfield allowed to waltz in with a simple ball to the wing or over the top, because we have no fecking defensive midfield except for Broony actively closing down.
Ntcham is not a defensive midfielder, Mulumbu was more so. all bar Broony are attacking midfielders, we effectively play a 4-1-5 or 3-1-6 formation and any decent pressing side makes us look poor at the back because of it.
That said Bain is not a Celtic number 1, he's a good enough back up.
 
Lenny obviously wanted a formation that could shift from a four to three to four again depending on how the game was panning out

Turned out he ended up with neither and it just turned into a disjointed mess :cry:

Sore one tonight mate, we're all hurting and I now have major concerns about how much more backing Lenny is going to get for the players he clearly needs.

Maria bullshters come on wine up. extermlly unhappy what happened tonight. don't know what a our manager was thinking. They were clever as seen I first game.


First of all, i am so very glad to see your back, missed your quirky posts pal.

Listening to the bhoys n ghirls it seems we shot ourselves in the foot again which is shite. But we’ll recover and smash up the spl for it.

If big pete gets the cash out who knows where that could take us in the europa ☘️
 
It's not even funny. That's the most sad part of it
Your right it isn’t but spouting pure pish isn’t funny either. Bad night they happen ask Porto also out. But the whole Season is the 9. Everything else was just gravy. Well it’s now brown sauce. We all need to reflect
Celtic past present and Future we have one. we go on
Mon the Fucking HOOPS. we never walk alone.

HH ?

What I meant was that tonight was the most ruthless and most clinical we've looked in attack for a long long time while at the same time looking so breathtakingly inept at the back. 100% agree with the need for another defensive/enforcer type midfielder Jim, said this exact thing for this exact reason on one of the threads last night (possibly this thread).

As for Bain I do like him but he was suspect for last week's goal (Cluj) was suspect at the weekend with Motherwell's 1st and he was again tonight which is worrying.
