    Henderson is at Hibs and previously Rosenberg to develop. He's not good enough, yet, to take the place of Brown, Bitton, Johansen or Commons. He is, 100%, in the right place for his career just now.

    You're correct, hence the reason GMS and Forrest do play there. We still lack 1 out and out winger for me but mainly because GMS is inconsistent - even for a winger.

    Because we drew with Ajax away and barring individual errors would have beat a better side in Fenerbahce at home?

    I'm not saying we will win both I'm saying we are more than capable. Indisputably.

    We can definitely beat Ajax if the team turns up, which I'm not confident about.

    Molde will be more difficult. They'll just do what they did on Thursday.

    You can project all you want mate but the reality is we are unbeaten at home all season, including Europe, and have averaged about 3 goals per game.

    You can believe in any alternate reality you wish. I will deal in facts.

    Aye so again, do you think teams fear coming to Celtic Park? That's the statement you highlighted earlier as one you have a problem with.

    But for me thats not the issue, even if we did manage to win these games, its so much more concerns me!...Ronny is an honerable and good guy, but we need so much more, he aint got the many skills needed to form a consistantly well performing team, he does NOT have the experience and we cannot afford more failure in europe, for so many reasons!, and as a fan paying buckets of cash to see the hoops, this is not good enough, we want pride restored in club, hope in the future and.... Dare i say it.... Some enjoyment and flair!

    I'm sceptical about beating Ajax, it's got a high scorin draw written all over it. Both defences are * rotten.

    3 goals a game? Good *, we need 3 goals because we don't seem to give European opposition anything less than 2 goals :smiley-laughing002:

    Brilliant

    The other thing is - managers need to populate their own team - not the next managers tam.

    Hendersons' granny could replace Johansen.

    So we can expect similar banter from you even when he's gone?

    If you have a manager who cannot change the system, cannot get the best team out on the park, irrespective of favoritism. Then it's time for Lawwell and Park to deny they made a mistake and carry on as normal.

    Right now we cannot even beat average teams in Europe. It's pathetic.

    You look forward to the games way in advance and it seems like a pointless exercise because the football is utter garbage to watch.

    I'm sick to death watching bitton and brown always passing it backwards, even if we've three players in the box.

    My own opinion is management is relatively straight forward. You pick the best team, or you bottle it. Ronny is a worrier and his ineptitude has now been shown up by two other Scandinavian managers who as it turns out have both handed him his * on a plate.

    All this philosophy *, is all very good and well, but it's essentially copied. None of these philosophies are his own.

    This is the myth, that Ronny went around all these top clubs and developed his own philosophy. He copied the philosophy from wherever he could. There is nothing wrong with that.

    Everyone who trains for any sport knows all about nutrition and fitness. With Ronny it's as if it's a radical new way of thinking. It's not.

    So what does Ronny bring to the table, well i'm not entirely sure. John Collins and Kennedy were brought in as cheap options. Kennedy ran the youth team, wow promote him. Collins i just have no idea why he was brought in.

    Right now you could go and bring in maybe Paul Lambert and it's sorted out very quickly. But who would want to take the job if there is meddling from the hierarchy above?

    Of course Ronny doesn't need to go, all three need to go and also maybe even Park.

    But this is never gonna happen until it gets much worse, which it probably won't.
