Mikey johnson is the best of our youth. So it was interesting to see what he could offer in the hardest place to win.
Burke heart isn't in it or else he really is garbage. Eddy and Rogic with calmat brown behind should have been dominant through middle. But were missing and not at the game. Not great considering they are my three first team middle.
but Johnston and burke offered nothing in attack defence of bite.
Personally, I think every rodgers signing wants out of dodge. The French connection doesn't suit us or them. They all appear to be unhappy even when they score or get game. Sinclair is just gash.
Hayes played well but not a defender.
Toljan is worse than Lustig and is still problem area. He actually looked terrified.
Bain is decent keeper but hardly inspiring number 1
If Bain is now number 1 we need a new keeper.
But the lack of proper power in front of goals is our worst look for yonks.
I really don't think foreign players from Europe, especially European countries with lots of warm weather can hack too long in Scotland. And I don't think they plan on long time here either. they really want sleep to hot climate better wage and really trying to get their name spotted by a club other than Celtic.
There are certain countries in Europe who have rotten weather and they seem to be more compatible long term.
I suspect the usual suspects who downed tooled at what they perceived as being held when decent offer was on table, is still unsettling squad. And I suspect all the amigos, including French and Belgian players would like out.
Just a hunch on my part.
And I doubt any of them would go to Leicester even if Rodgers wanted them.
They don't love Celtic and really they here as mercenaries in hope they get the big bucks.
When you have won a few medals in Scotland, unless you really love Celtic you won't be that interested in long stay if offers are on table. And if you have champions blood at Celtic there will be offers on the table, even if we think they are mad to exchange Scottish glory and Celtic fan love for cash elsewhere.
There is a reason why the most successful Scottish team all came from close to Glasgow. They all played for a team they loved more than money and even big money wouldn't make them leave their dream team. Sadly the Scottish football talent is not determined enough or in love with football enough to supply the demands of Scottish football.
We need new bunch of mercenaries to re-galvanise the squad. I genuinely think lennon is best option for us to do that. But today was pure gash.
So maybe im wrong?
You keep going on about BR but he isn't there and hasn't been there for ages now so it doesn't matter what he's done or hasn't done. Lenny had a decent team of players that seemed to have gone backwards and why oh why he put young MJ back into the cauldron where he failed so miserably last time should be questioned. He never looked like he was able to motivate the team or make them more tactically aware and to me it looks like he doesn't have the dressing-room.
