The Ronny Deila Thread

It's the manner of the defeat, not the defeat. Same situation as Malmo away, Maribor at home, Legia home and Away, Red Bull at home.

The only defeat that we had any semblance of fight was 4-3 against Zagreb. Where we still displayed the defensive frailties that we have from day 1 under Ronny. That was with Van Dijk and Denayer, which is easily a £20m centre back partnership.

 

I have no problem with not being able to punch above our weight on a consistent basis, what we're doing just now is punching well below our weight.

We're a middleweight getting the * knocked out of us by lightweights, in financial terms.

 

We should not lose against Molde, not Malmö either. You can always look at the opposition and say they were better, but the question is, why are we not better than them when we have a lot more money and better players? Malmö are 5th in allsvenskan and Molde 7th, I believe Malmö are better, but still, we should win these games, no doubt about it, and I have watched Malmö several times this season. We are under performing!!!

 

We lacked any kind of flair and guts and last night was a game changer for me as far as Ronny is concerned.
I have always backed him but that performance last night was unforgivable,something is seriously wrong in that dressing room and he needs to sort out pronto.

I have a feeling its something to do with Broony,Johnson,Commons and probably Collins.

 

Totally agree witht \o/, if this was the 1st time we played so badly or if this was a result where you could say it was unusual under this management then only the moon howlers would be out in force. I have beacked ronny all the way even after malmo but someone put up the results in europe over the past year and they are nothing short of a disgrace- stuffed by legia, beaten by maribor, stuffed by red bull, beaten by malmo, stuffed by molde. I for one dont think that those results are acceptable.

 

He has 3 games. If he is not still in Europe after Christmas he will be removed and rightly so. If we can't get out of a group in the Europa how do you expect him to guide us to the champions league? Imagine ronnys defence against madrid etc. .. frightening.

 

I woke up and expected him to be gone. Hurry up Lawwell you gutless *. He better not bottle the decision to get rid and if there was any justice he would follow him out the door. Ronny Deila is just *. If we had 11 world class players that Molde team would just out think him anyway. I really dont understand why he is still here he should have been sacked 12 months ago. We need to get rid of him now before this gets serious. Publicly slating Commons, we know hes gonna drop him, he has to go. Just sack him and announce it.

 

Go have a *, and settle down.

 

Of course Blackett would have been a better option. It's not like you need to be half decent at football to be a better option than Ambrose. Just look at his performances this season. Bailey would have been a better option.

The guy is one of the the worst defenders we have had in recent times and pushing for top of the class in that respect. He's too slow, too cumbersome, positionally clueless, terrible header of the ball and overall a poor player. His best attribute is he can pass 10-15 yards to the side to his central defensive partner or full backs. That's all he offers. He's *, has cost us so many goals domestically and especially in Europe and we need to get him as far away from the first team as possible and replace him with whoever else is sitting there looking for a game,whether that's Blackett, Mulgrew when fit, Jozo or even a development squad player. They should all be ahead of Ambrose in the pecking order. He's * terrible.

 

Some of these comments are absolutely appalling and show a complete lack of respect to the club, players and to RD. We've had one terrible result away in Europe in torrential rain on a plastic pitch. I'm all for calling it last chance saloon but no way should he be sacked over what has happened. As a couple have said, in my eyes he has three EL games to put some pride back in the shirt. It's a very tough group and could easily be a Champions League group people are forgetting that.

I'd like to see him be a little less naive in Europe at least away from home, with Bitton or Brown sitting in front of the back four and Johansen or Armstrong dropping into a midfield three. I think that would solidify us massively. This and no more messups in the league or cups and we can build. I'm sure the staff have thought about this simple change but for whatever reason didn't apply it, maybe naivety, maybe the lure of three points was too much.

Again, people forget that our best defenders have been plucked from our ranks and we need to rebuild, thankfully none of our current defence are good enough to be poached by the PL so hopefully we can finish the season and move into the next season with a bit of continuity. I want to see Jozo fit and alongside Boyata and them both to have game time - and lots of it.

 

What's the one terrible result? We've had a lot of 'one terrible results' with Ronny at the helm.

 

The give him time brigade are coming out I see. Under his watch 10iar is in danger. He has to go today. There is no other solution. He is done. Even FannyChemalr is having doubts ffs!

 

Away to *. He didn't publicly slate him. He actually handled that pretty well in his interview. An interview that was made extremely difficult due to a lack of professionalism by Commons.

 

Blackett a better option then Ambrose? Not a chance the guy has been worse the Ambrose anytime he has played and that says alot.

Was Blackett brought in to be a better option the Ambrose? Most probably yes, however things don't always go to plan with signings and he has showed nothing of worth since donning a Celtic shirt.

Of course its depressing that in the current situation Ambrose is the best of a bad bunch given Mulgrew and Jozo being out injured but even with the mistakes Ambrose was still the better option then Blackett.

Could Ronny have maybe started commons in the middle as a no 10 and dropped Johansen? I think so as he has been doing it in the league in favour of those who are playing better but decided to go with experience for last nights game.

No manager is without faults, the warning signs where there that Molde can do this and if the manager set up more defensively people would be complaining about not having ago at Molde. There is no winning here for anyone.

 

Edit: @\o/ You mean the qualifiers? Losing to Aberdeen? Before last night, and I mean immediately before, people were satisfied. Of course some weren't but the majority were. We had put in very good performances against top sides in Ajax and Fenerbache and were back to the top of the league. We were seeing improvement from the start of the season. If we had drawn 1-1 or scraped a win last night there would have been absolutely none of this backlash, no tantrums, and that's exactly what the last 10 pages of this thread is - tantrums.

There's a bigger picture than an away day in Norway and I do admit that he's sailing close to the chop but there are still more positives than negatives.

 

Blackett has been here a matter of weeks. Ambrose has been here 3 years, how you can say based on what we've seen from them in the respective time scales they've been here is craziness. Absolutely mental.

If you honestly think he is our best defender out that list, not a great list by any stretch, but if you do then you're very easily pleased mate.

Ambrose is far and away our worst defender. No point in trying to defend him because it's simply stone cold fact now.

 

Away to * yourself. Commons is a top player and has had to sit back and be disrespected by a clueless idiot who by the grace of * somehow found himself as manager of Celtic.

 

You are an embarrassment to yourself.

 

People keep using this line with Delia who is the most over protected manager by a section of the support that I can remember.

Some people just plain refuse to critisie anything Celtic and talk about a bigger picture that there has been no signs off since Delia came in.

We dont look fitter, we dont look smarter and there is a lack of passion than what was there a couple years ago.

What exactly is this bigger piture?.

 

Malmo, Legia, Maribor, Red Bull Salzburg, Dyamo Zagreb, Aberdeen, Caley Thistle off the top of my head important games.
