The Ronny Deila Thread

The Aberdeen game was a shocker failing to beat 10 men and the defence once again switching off, as others have said he's lucky they've lost 3 on the bounce or he'd be out the door already

 

Not to attempt to downplay the magnitude of those losses, but every Celtic manager has lost epic games as well.

 

To be fair our away forms been ok under ronny as we have never been good away in europe, however we havent won an away european game under his tenure unless you include Starjan and Reykavik. Respectable draws yes against red bull, ajax and maribor but results in europe in general are were my problem lies. To concede the amount of goals we are under ronny in europe is unsustainable if you want success. Thats 4 against legia and dinamo zagreb, 3 against inter, molde, red bull, 2 against ajax, fenerbache, malmo. The last clean sheet was against dinamo zagreb at home? That is not good enough simple as that.

 

Ronny has never won a game we were not expected to win.

Almost every player has regressed this season. He has no plan B and his plan A barely works for all the possession we have most of that time the ball is spent playing side way passes along the back 4. Johansen running about like a dog chasing a stick and flying into tackles doesn't constitute a high pressing game

 

On quite such a consistent basis? In just over a year? It's all well and good comparing results to managers who managed us for 4/5 years plus but it's happening so often and in the exact same manner.

I didn't even add Astra in there either.

 

No player is bigger than the club.

Johansen still earned your trust as a player by the way? Deila must be getting it right by playing him in your eyes?

 

Ryan Jack strutting around Pittodrie with the SPFL trophy. That's the end game if we dont act now. People think im joking but im deadly serious.

 

Brown
Bitton Johanson

That could work

 

Every manager before him had 1 brilliant away result in Europe
Think Mowbray and Lennon who both won away in Russia

 

It could, it might not though. You still didn't answer my question, has Johansen still earned your trust as a player? You have been saying on here for weeks that he deserves to start ahead of others who have performed better this season. Do you still feel that way? He is also being played in his best position, and has still been absolutely brutal.

 

There is? Someone better tell Deila because he looks absolutely clueless as to what this bigger picture is and how to achieve it.

Couple of questions:

1. What are we better at now than when Lennon left? Has there been suufficient progress in any area of the team in 18 months?

2. Does the evidence that Ronny is tactically adept outweigh the evidence that he is tactically poor?

3. Do we, as a team or as a club, tend to punch above our weight, or below our weight under Deila?

4. Has Deila addressed any of the weaknesses that have become apparent over the last 12-18 months?

 

If you are asking should he have started over Tom Rogic then the answer is yes. If he wasnt fit or carrying an injury then he should not have been on the pitch. It should have been Commons in the 10 role and another player on the right. No harm to Tom Rogic but it should have been this way domestically as well. That is why his inclusion irritated me so much because it was an insult to Kris Commons abd further evidence of Deila not having a clue.

 

The guy is fast becoming the managerial equivalent of ambrose

 

He needs to start dropping players or he is going to be dropped himself.

 

Dear oh dear.

Sorry Brown with the exception of the last few games (outwith his woeful showing last night) he's been a man down, and I seriously mean that. Johansen is similar, mind you outwith 4 or 5 good months he's been as useful as an ashtray in a motorbike.

But you think that may work, please * no.

Commons I'd give more chance behind, and Bitton I'd keep in, although of late he's not helping himself either.

I'm praying to * Armstrong can grow into the midfield as think he's a better option than at least 2 of them at the moment.

Still think we do need someone who can pull the strings in midfield though outwith what we have in the squad, can't say Allan (if he will ever play again?) maybe the answer, but I'd give him a show (if he ever plays again).

 

There is a case for playing Armstrong in front of Joahnson. Other than that I dont see the problem. That is our best midfield in the best possible shape.

 

There's far too many people trying to peddle a few bad results as the be all and end all of Ronny as a manager and the team. There have been many good results too! Last year's Europa League getting to the last 16 and narrowly going out to Inter Milan, knocking out Dinamo Zagreb who are a CL team this year beating Arsenal!

Then though, the problem is that we lose Van Dijk and Denayer and have to start all over again. You can say there has been no progress or you can say that we have had to rebuild and are still at a similar level and that is progress. Have we strengthened well, no have we heck, but we simply cannot expect to lose players of that calibre and be able to bring in like for like anymore. This is the bigger picture, this and 10 in a row and for anyone to seriously doubt that we can get it under Ronny is unfathomable. Are Aberdeen going to beat us to the title this year, are they *!

I'm not saying there aren't issues but the issues aren't big enough for a knee-* reaction of giving Ronny the boot. If there's no improvement in the next three EL games or we stumble again in the league or cups then that's different. Trust me, when that second goal went in last night I was as livid as anyone but in the cold light of day we have to think rationally.

 

We need a complete back 4, 3 of them are bomb scares and the other is made of glass

Id also give Scott Allan a go, at least he looks like he can pass a ball and/or recall ryan christie from caley the sec the window re-opens

This 1 up front pish has to go as well, a combination of any 2 from stokes, griffiths and cole for me ciftci is never a Celtic player in his life

 

Who would you have replace him as manager for me I prefer
Lucien Favre and Sean Dyche both are out of work right now.

 

Sean Dyche is out of work since when?
