For me it's wide open.
They are one good doin away from a collapse.
Last year they collapsed because they dominated us in the cup final and still couldn't beat us
That killed them and they didn't know how to react
Gerrard is a bang average manager of a bang average team
Nothing over there has changed.
We beat them handsomely at their dump in the next match they'll fall apart.
It's the same bunch of duffers who fell apart last year
They are being allowed to look good by us and every other team in the league.
If Aberdeen played against them like they played against us they would have won they didn't know how to handle Hibs.
Honestly Goldson, Kent, Morelos and everyone's favourite fuckwit Tavernier all bang average players who wouldn't get into our squad never mind starting 11 and clearly nobody else's either judging by the lack of bids.
So come on Celtic give yer'selves a shake find the passion and get to it.
Scott Brown recognise you can't do this twice a week week in week out
Take training shout from the side lines but admit it and tell the manager you need time in between games.
Why not give you O Connell a run out with Turnbull in the team.
We fought hard to get these players lets use them.
I think Gerrard has done much better than anyone would have expected. His results in Europe are very good. He was also a top player with good attitude and he still young enough to connect with his players in modern psychology.
He has them playing very strong unit. Much stronger than individuals in the team.
He is no mug at football. He loves football. Our best hope is they get cocky which they are prone to do. Bad weather might take its toll soon, it has last couple of seasons.
But I dont think he is bang average manager. I hoped he would be. But he is actually pretty decent with much less resources than us.
He plays a counter attacking style and shape. they know their task each game and hold their shape. And it means first they are very solid at back. secondly they are getting better at getting ball and know system bit better each game so they create lot of chances as a unit.
he is a good manager imo
Still long way to go. But if we keep playing this stupid style that everybody cottoned on to to minimise its attack then we will struggle to beat them on head to heads.
they aren't that great at set pieces but at minute we are bad as well.
we have no real attackers with heading skills so we must play low fast passing to open up teams, but we dont because we have no functioning midfield and overly greedy AM who bypass striker for glory
our right back cant cross high or low very well or very often
our team is seriously dysfunctional as a unit
we have stronger individuals but as team we are pretty unorganised and no real plan
Gerrard is beatable but it will take much better organisation and humility and team ethhic
the style lennon weakest against is the style Gerrard plays
And our biggest weakness is overconfidence.
the mighty British empire collapsed, as did Rome and every other empire through hubris.
rangers self destructed through hubris
And when hubris sets in, it becomes a motivator to your rivals.
The cavalier army was much more experienced and battle hardened warriors but they had hubris
Napoleon same at end.
morale if we dont get back our humility and fast the season will be lost
And if lennon doesn't change his system it will struggle every time we play a counter attacking team thats organised to pick us off at our huge gaps.
Lennon says he aint going
So he needs to rethink his entire battle plan and stop talking shit and picking team players rather than glory hunting non team players
Gerrard has a tough ask still
But he hungry man
And he is a determined dude. And he had lot of feck ups at crucial moments but he doesn't lose his footing, he picks himself up and goes again. He is a good manager in scotland at least. And he done very very well so far.
hope he slips at crucial moment and if he does we need to be on his coat tails to take that chance.
