    As poor as we’ve been there’s still a real possibility of treble. Stop wetting the pantys.

    When you look at his signings there are more question marks than hits. Sinclair and Dembele were big successes but outside of those two(they have also struggled this season) there isn't a lot to shout about.

    Set pieces are really * me off.

    We look utterly toothless at attacking them and ropey as * defending them.

    A team like us, who win plenty of corners and fouls in the final third, should be scoring much more from set pieces. It’s a huge part of the game.

    I really wish he would do something with set pieces both from an attacking and defensive sense, corners and free kicks when we're attacking are almost pointless because we're so * at them cant remember a Celtic team that was such a non-threat at set pieces, don't know how many different players I've seen on corners this season and they're all terrible, always floating it in or not even able to beat the first man we seem to have nobody who can just whip a ball in at pace.

    We've been quite poor in the league. There's a possibility for anything in Scotland to happen. I'm being realistic. And frustrated, I have to admit. Can we expect Brendan to go to a direct style of football versus Aberdeen?

    I totally agree. I really struggle to recall goals we've scored from set pieces, other than a few Griffiths free kicks.

    Boyata is really our only player who looks remotely threatening from corners/free kicks.

    Aye and even he's not a consistent threat.

    Brendan said after the pish huns game that the second half of the season would be better.
    So far it’s been worse.
    He’s under a bit of pressure for the first time here.

    The one that annoys me is Dembele I remember when he scored that header against the Huns thinking to myself that it was brilliant we were gonna have a big striker who could be a real threat from set pieces, if I''m right I don't think he's scored a goal like that since when I think he should be a player who's looking to get on the end of balls in.

    He has an excellent record v McInnes, we just need to rediscover that form.

    He can hoodwink the media but he is naive if he thinks he can do the same to the fans.

    I honestly hope it happens. 2 defeats this season in the league is bad. A third, after this * tonight... Perish the thought.
    I'm worried about the transfers as well, even if we stick with Brendan after a possible treble. It's like he's oblivious to our defensive issues. He's had several transfer windows to fix them.

    Im not overly confident of celtic beating aberdeen and rangers away, but I am very confident that neither of those team will win even close to every game to the end of the season. And realistically that is what is required to catch celtic.

    Fair enough, but how damaging would repeated draws be for us, in the title race?
