[Official TC Thread] Celtic v The Manky Mob, 12:00 Sat 30th Dec, Sky Sports

Terrible performance and lucky to escape unbeaten. Subs awful as well from Rodgers, dire allround.

 

If we are to replace him with a goalie who can't make a save then we should keep him.

 

Not much to say off the back of that, winter break better do the Bhoys some good as the performance levels have dipped dramatically over the last 2 months.

Making an average team live sevco look as good as they did today is embarrassing. We were sloppy in possession, no creativity in the midfield and generally nervous and timid in our work off the ball.

Not playing Ntcham was the biggest head scratcher for me, Armstrong and McGregor have been poor for weeks and have let the manager down imo. Hopefully we kick in after on after the break and we clearly need it as 39 games since July seems to have exhausted the players.

The biggest worry is that we look void of creativity and ideas on the ball so we need to get rogic and Roberts fit asap.

 

I would have preferred Ntcham for Armstrong

 

Griff was a pointless one but Ntcham alleviated he pressure near the end.

 

Nail on the head with Armstrong and maybe dembele but rodgers had no option to start sinclair Patrick roberts and now hayes are injured

A thought Ajer was good today, big man never put a foot wrong in defence, few good tackles and burst out of defence up the pitch than any midfielder s did.

I’d like to say well done huns for the 0-0 win. Even when we’re * u still can’t beat us.

 

First the positive......we didnae get beat!! Huns will claim this as their greatest victory, a 0-0 at paradise, the media will hold Magic Murty in the highest pinnacle, what a result he got. For us, feckin embarrassing. I knew the Huns would come out playing like they did but I expected a lot more from us. This was against a team we have ridiculed, with no money and an under 20 coach put in charge. Except for Broony and Ajer, the rest should be apologising for that performance. We have become so predictable, teams know how to set up against us, high press, stop us playing it out from the back, keep 2 centres backs and isolate our forward. When we are failing to break teams down we rely too much on any one player to produce a bit of magic to get out of a hole, that didn't happen today and hasn't happened in a lot of games this season. For all Brendan has done and achieved, we have become stale, predictable and inconsistent. Brendan was beaten on tactics today by an under 20 coach, he put too much reliability on players who have done it before other that changing it to surprise opponents, like when he went 3 at the back against the Sheep they didn't know how to handle us. No critisim to Griff, he was getting nothing from the midfield, we only had creativity when Nchamp came on. Time to freshen the squad and find a hunger and desire again, some players look like they are taking for granted wearing the Hoops. On his recent performances it would not be a bad thing to cash in on Dembele , time for Armstrong to move on, and bring a few of the fringe players in.

 

That was absolutely rotten.

 

Gordon s distribution is poor at times no doubt about it but when he punts it up the park especially when Griffiths up front, big defenders win it and possession lost

 

Bad day at the office in the second half. Be good for the team to have a well deserved rest - not just physically but mentally and emotionally.

Spend some money in January and bring in some quality to challenge and push the regulars. Build a team around Ntcham - excellent again today. Ajer was tremendous, as was Broony.

Top of the league by a stretch, still in Europe, treble is still very much on. We've had an unbelievable, once in a lifetime year. It was epic, but it's done now and we look forward to 2018.

Hail hail everyone.

 

The subs saved the point imo.

 

Cannae believe some of the stuff on here, ffs, a need a rest.

 

Pish pants poor

 

We played poor they played as best they could it shows you where the teams are at this moment teams need to be freakishily good and us very poor for us to get beat but we do need a few new faces in

 

I thought that was an immediate difference Ntcham made, his initial play with Ajer (who is also composed) made a huge impression regarding our ability to slice through pressing teams if we let the ball do the work. It lifts the whole team having players that reliable because everyone can feel confident receiving the ball no matter what space they move into. Broony must be frustrated considering his abilities to stop attacks and create forward movement and we're the team being pressed without unpressing and creating a run and space for a simple pass. At least it draws pressers out of position.
Ah * tactics, we're individually much better so it's a disgrace nevermind heart and soul.

 

So he doesn't suit our style of play. If your style of play is looping high balls into the box you don't sign a midget as a centre forward

 

We where * lad. No desire. They looked up for it and tbf should have won and they must wonder how they didnt.

My only highlight today was some lad falling over by me and apologising for "falling like a Hun" hahahaha
