St Mirren v Celtic - Wed 22nd Dec 7.45pm

Seems we very much are a one or two man team.
Absolutely no cutting edge at all, if big Tam’s not on it in a game like this we have no other ideas to speak of.
Can’t expect to be winning the league wi results like that, just not good enough.
Hope Ange gets what he wants in Jan, but it may be too late already.
We were not up to the mark against an ultra defensive side,we dropped a point,do we not think the Huns will drop points?Especially after the transfer window when they may be forced to sell Aribo etc?We know that we gotta build from here but they don't know what kind of shape they'll be in after the window
 
I may upset people but these are my thoughts. I apologise in advance if so.

We had 95 minutes to put a goal past a side like that. Impossible to break down a defence like that. Injuries. I don't want to hear those excuses. It is the glaring flaw with Angeball. Livingston, Dundee Utd, nearly Ross County, now St. Mirren. Why? Wedded to a philosophy that will not always deliver. The reality of the Scottish League is that Celtic must always deliver or we will not win it. Ange must start to wise up and realise that the three points are more important than nice football. Sometimes you have to play these teams with what they face every week. And on average it is what they succumb to, each other on. Totally frustrated as I now see the League gone.
 
Lack of squad depth was going to catch up with us eventually. Too many touches, too many passes, no penetration due to having no striker. Fan dancing wingers with no end product and for the first time in a while Rogic was poor. Why didn't Ange stick Ralston or CCV or someone with a physical presence up front for the last 10 mins? Juranovic was hitting in good crosses from the right but no one was in the middle with the physicality/desire to get on the end of them (like Ralston last week).
Major concern for Sunday now, if Kyogo cant play we are gubbed as St Johnstone are a far better organised defensive team than St Mirren.

Canny agree with last bit mate but there's no alternatives to angeball in the squad the now January will help i no ur angry the now but keep the faith HH

Dont think the huns will drop many at all bud, the MiB are with them and it will take a team like the Hibs cup game result to beat them.
 
After Sunday we stop for three weeks why no play Kyogo??we look like robots in the midfield against these shitty teams side to side,,,fuckin shoot on site should be the message,,if tony ralston izny scoring last minute(7min?) goals we wid be about nine points away from the hun fucks the now,,,thank god for the break...

Wid love a set piece coach to come in we don't win alot of headers never mind score many from corners,crosses or free kicks
 
Every time we come up against teams playing like that we just endlessly pass the ball across the edge of their box, why doesn’t someone just have a run straight run at them. There is always the chance one of them might stick a leg out and get us a pen or a free kick in a good spot
 
With Juranovic constantly firing balls in to the box, does anyone else think Ralston should have been up top in the last 10 mins or so?.....we needed a physical presence in there as they won every ball.....and how we missed the movement and finishing of KYOGO...

There's something amiss with the coaching/tactics if they can't see that,also why doesn't Johnston get told to run at defenders when he's in the box instead of going across or heading to byeline?If he runs at them in the box they'll kick him&some penalties will result

If he had played, they'd have kicked the shit out of him, that, and the state of the pitch, the torrential rain, the wee man needs more time to rest imho
I want him for the rest of the season
Some people are saying the league is lost...is it fuck
We never give up, that's why we are Celtic
