Celtic vs Arbroath, Scottish Cup 4th Round, 01/12/12, 3pm

Spot on.

 

not a over reaction if it wasn't for the champions league lenny would be out a job imo.

 

I really thought those players out there today would have been striving to prove themselves to the gaffer. The likes of Ibrahim and Chalmers, who we haven't seen in months before today, should have been playing out of their skins in order to show that they're capable of cutting it at the highest level. Absolutely no fight from any of them today. We didn't even * score our goal and needed a ridiculous OG to put us in front.

 

Not * good enough, our home form this season is * brutal and this is a hugely embarrassing score. It's added another game to an already busy schedule

 

But nah wonder what excuse Lennon will come up with today, no matter how it's dressed up or who plays a 1-1 draw with a second division team is a useless performance. Team are utter * at home. The quicker Spartak is over the better so the team has less to focus on and can forget about Europe for a few months.

 

Getting people to buy Season tickets next year will be fun.....

why pay to watch this pish!, our home form has been rotten.

 

You think that a lot of players would have went to prove themselves today in the hope of getting a start against Moscow.

 

We're Poor as * at times

 

Lenny has to put his boot up a few players arses, or * is just gonna get even worse.

 

Do you even know what football is or what a manager does? The buck stops with the manager in these situations, the players were *, but the manager picked them.

 

We're clueless when any opposition side sit behind the ball

 

if we dont go through on wednesday then the pressure will be on lenny in the next domestic game .

 

I think it is because we are a counter-attacking team. We don't have the players to break teams down but we do have the players to counter hence the good results n Europe the last couple of seasons. Today I have no excuse for but hey, at least we get to play at Gayfield - has made me chuckle since 7 years old.

 

Shocking result and a poor match from our side. All credit to Arbroath for a tenacious performance - it's important to remember that their unlucky own goal earned us the replay. If that hadn't gone in we would have lost 0-1 and be out.

I'm lost for words. We had the team on the day.

Watt was completely closed down. Wanyama was subdued. Miku couldn't finish.

On the plus side, Ibrahim was man of the match for me - utter creativity every time he got the ball. Kayal showed his hunger when he came on and Lassad, after that performance and via his finishing ability, has won the "Lassad or Miku?" debate for me.

A bizarre performance. Let me have a drink and a think and I'll get back on this.

 

Stop going on about the * management, today had nothing to do with them. We were cruising, we created so many chances. It wasn't poor play, poor management or lack of interest that cost us the win today, it was good goalkeeping, poor finishing and bad luck.

 

lol, when we only had 2 first team players playing today?

People acting like our domestic form bears any relation whatsoever to CL games - it doesn't and never has or will.
Spartak got demolished 5-1 and 4-2 in their last 2 games, I hardly think they're gonna batter us.

 

So if it wasn't for him doing brilliant in the hardest competition in the world he'd be out, cos that make sense.

 

Matthews, Ambrose, Lustig, Rogne (I hope), Lassad (maybe), Brown, Kayal, Miku (maybe), Izaguirre (hopefully) will all be involved in some respect in our CL game. More starting than not.

Only players missing today that I'd expect to see come in would be Forster, Wilson, Ledley, Commons and Samaras.

 

Our home form is horrendous.
We don't have a devine right to win every game.
Saying that the players, and perhaps the management staff, are struggling to motivate themselves in the 'smaller' games.

 

We need to buy a creative midfielder in January.

I'm praying we get through to the last 16, because if we don't the board won't spend a penny.
