Get Ajer intae right mid, it's wierd he try's like feck in defence,but he cannae jump SP,negligent again the night, cos he's not a feckin defender!,but oddly, he plays left centre back for Norway! so whit dae ah know,feck awe apparantly, jist won the spoon agagain oan the predictor!The raw tools were there, Michael, but Celtic have to be crystal clear about what they expect from their defenders.
Buck wanted them to pick it up, pass the ball and play in zones. Marking and tackling was for the peasants - not for the aristocrats.
That was never Jack Hendry.
Still a huge question over what we want our defenders to do now? Me personally, I kinda like it when they actually defend. You know - mark somebody and kick them a bit. Dominate the air and threaten the doos wie their clearances.
Duffy can defend, but he can't sense danger so he reacts rather than anticipates. You can fix that, Michael. That's not a broken player, that's just a player who needs a bit of rewiring in the noggin.
Jullien has all the attributes, but loves a wee bit of himself too much. I share your concerns with Ajer.......he shouldn't play left side and he hasn't quite developed the defensive side of being a defender (which is the teeniest weensiest bit important in that role).
Again, these players aren't broken and they're easily repaired with the proper engineer.
Ironically - we let our best actual defender go for free in the Summer. Pity about his fitness and his short attention span, because when he was focused and concentrated, Simunovic could properly defend. He just got easily distracted by butterflies or rainbows or what he was going to have for tea.
"We had a good 35 minutes" ffs Neil,the game lasts 90 minutes!the only thing I learned from tonight is lennon cant fix this team.
Same tactics, same result again
he may have picked slightly different shape but tactics were no supporting shape no proper awareness, big gaps between players
slightly deeper which gave eddy bit space
but fundamentally no tracking their movement
no players in centre when they break
centre backs easily pulled wide out of comfort
huge gaps and defence has no support
easy prey for countering unit to create lots of good chances while not creating very much against them
elyounousi needs binned
too many vibes off him even when we scored, ntcham no even bothering to chase when he sees guy breaking
ntcham needs binned
brown has no composure or presence anymore needs binned
we need settled back 4
and a stronger central midfield that supports both defence and attack
we need better supply from wings or target men strikers who can handle high balls better
Lennon will get more and more downhearted, for his health he needs replaced
for the club lawell needs replaced
I have this weird feeling they will appoint someone just before AGM to deflect all the issues that need addressed
the silence on all fronts must end
board needs revamp
management needs a complete revamp
sadly I think that means 10 is even harder to acheieve
I dont like loans
I dont think they help with stability at club
the players who aren't happy with their wages will not try as hard if you have loan players getting mega bucks
the hubris needs cut off before its gangrene sets club back even further
Lennon performances have been very poor
his media performances have reinforced garbage or thrown people under bus
still he thinks that dross is very good at times
before game I was less excited for game, but that result performance still hurt as bad on my eyes and my mind
no spine
not in the players and not in his set up
easy to pick it off
knackers players excessively and demoralises them to point they not functioning as any kind of team
no width despite too many people wide
no cm despite having 5 on park
timing of runs are out
and nobody knows where anybody is and even when they see them they too far away for meaningful passing
just rank rotten
In short tet we are a fucking shambles and so so totally disgusted with everything that has and is wrong at our club.the only thing I learned from tonight is lennon cant fix this team.

Half of them will be gone in January,Laxalt must be wondering 'what the phuq have i signed up for here'!In short tet we are a fucking shambles and so so totally disgusted with everything that has and is wrong at our club.
Still to sick about it all.
Whoever has the misfortune of trying to turn this shitshow around has a huge job on there hands.
Classed tonight's match as the response, after the weekend and the antics of the GB, well we got it alright fuck all, just another embarrassment that is starting to become our normal.
Players all behind lenny, said broony beforehand, my bollox are they.
A massive clear out may well be needed, but so many players want out, then fuck them out along with the whole management and coaching team, and the board can all go cause they above all have reduced us to this unforgivable mess
Don't think we will be able to MD at the moment, the value on some of these useless fucks has plummeted by millions so reducing there value now leaves a new manager with less money in order to replace them.Half of them will be gone in January,Laxalt must be wondering 'what the phuq have i signed up for here'!
Think they've chucked it already, and they don't give a phuq about their transfer value John,whatever the phuq is going on, they're not buying into it!Don't think we will be able to MD at the moment, the value on some of these useless fucks has plummeted by millions so reducing there value now leaves a new manager with less money in order to replace them.
Hoping a new manager can get these players playing again until the end of the season then cash them in for hopefully more than the tin of baked beans they are worth now
imo we need to stabilise the club and that may need to write off this season rather than throw money at it.In short tet we are a fucking shambles and so so totally disgusted with everything that has and is wrong at our club.

You can't buy into nothing, when there is no shape, organisation, of tactics to a team whatsoever, can't recall a Celtic team lacking in passion and confidence to this degreeThink they've chucked it already, and they don't give a phuq about their transfer value John,whatever the phuq is going on, they're not buying into it!
lacking in key ball winning and awareness but paid more than our better teams of pastYou can't buy into nothing, when there is no shape, organisation, of tactics to a team whatsoever, can't recall a Celtic team lacking in passion and confidence to this degree

we have too many players in wrong positions
and they dont want to play those positions and tbh aren't that great at them
time to ship out big earners and stabilise the wage structure and bin bonuses for boards
their bonus should be through share price futures
that way they encouraged to keep share price high but dont get bonus for weakening the team on pitch
We have socialist support who want to solve club issues with capitalism
we have socialist support who are getting as demanding as the horde.
we need to return to our mission statement
we need players who believe in that mission statement more than their ego or their wage packet
we can afford good wages
we cant afford to sustain millionaire prima donnas who cant even do the fundamentals in team football
we need to cut our cloth
Funnist bit is the most commy left in support want big spending
ironic
they are often the most hubris filled intolerant self worshipping money mad socialists you will ever encounter
they want anarchy
but when its present at club they want order paid by debts
weird contradiction
the anarchists who want pyros and chaos hate watching their club fall into anarchy
Still not in me to give up on the season yet tetimo we need to stabilise the club and that may need to write off this season rather than throw money at it.

maybe but at what cost?Still not in me to give up on the season yet tet
The right manager in can still salvage things imo
Who is that though John?Still not in me to give up on the season yet tet

the demanding ones amongst our support will not be happy without mega high risk investmentThis season has been a clusterphuk,fubar,snafu,and does'nt look like improving,but,really,we have the chance to win a a quadruple feckin treble,we've played 13 games and we're 11 points behind the scum, we have 2 games in hand, at the moment,the scum could fall in shit and still come up smellin of roses,they will have problems comin, leagues aint won in November, we need 1 good performance,with the right personnel, and, in the words of the great philosopher Donald trump 'we're turning the corner'
A wee analogy. Years ago my teenage daughter was out on the ran Dan I phoned and asked where she was. She said I’m just round the corner - three hours later she returned. it wasn’t the corner we so happened to live on I remember the good feeling she will come through the door any minute but she didn’t MD. I’m afraid I’ve lost all hope after that tonight of any corner turning.This season has been a clusterphuk,fubar,snafu,and does'nt look like improving,but,really,we have the chance to win a a quadruple feckin treble,we've played 13 games and we're 11 points behind the scum, we have 2 games in hand, at the moment,the scum could fall in shit and still come up smellin of roses,they will have problems comin, leagues aint won in November, we need 1 good performance,with the right personnel, and, in the words of the great philosopher Donald trump 'we're turning the corner'
Jaysus lads I don't feel well. I actually agree with most of what docco said. I'm doin the lotto today!
