    Gordon, Lustig, Ntcham and Brown need to be dropped for an extended period. Even though Gordon made a few brilliant saves he just booted it long when a pass was on or tried to pass when the defender was getting closed down. Brown and Ntcham looked * not being able to play 5 yard passes, Lustig just doing what he always does.

    Rodgers was far too kind in his interview, only a few players gave their all the rest never turned up. The fact our midfield got dominated by Ryan Jack and Arfield says it * all, we should be outclassing them instead of just dropping to their level and trying to play their scrappy game.

    At half time Edouard should of been on for Brown, go 3 at the back and move McGregor into the middle. Instead we just lumped long balls to Mikey who ran his * off with little support and out muscled a lot of the time.

    Even after that pish we are still top of the table, next 4 out of 5 league games at home we will blast away at the top. It's just annoying how bad we've been to keep this 'title race' pish going, similar to Ronny's last season with Aberdeen.

    Brown and Ntcham were the worst players on the pitch. I love him and what he's done for the club but he was abysmal.

    Most frustrating thing about today was that they wanted it more. Not being hungry enough made their midfield look like superstars. We have the technically superior players all over the park but if we don't match the huns effort and passion we don't earn the right to play.

    This is a massive problem for us, if our players cant get up for the biggest derby in the world, how are they going to be up for a run of the mill league game.


    Also, Lets sign some * that can hit a corner.

    Brown and Ntcham were embarrassing today man, I am actually astounded by how awful they were for the entire game.

    Boyata was bullied all day. He better shape up if he’s going to the EPL because he’ll be getting pressed like that every week.

    Lustig was abysmal and then went off with a sore back.

    Johnston should have been kept on and Sinclair binned.

    Genuinely some of the worst performances I’ve witnessed from Celtic players today. Luckily Gordon showed up.

    It’s more about how we lost rather than just losing. It was clear to see they wanted it more than us, which should never be the case when you’re a Celtic player.

    Lustig I don't think can be overly blamed. He is not the best or fastest, sure he got done at the goal, but he wasn't overly terrible compared to normal.
    Gordon, brilliant saves and I'm the first to criticism him, but him, boyata and brown all three are equal for severe slack passing and putting the entire team under undue pressure the entire game.
    Never could get to play out from the back because they pressed high, but we never gave ourselves a chance with that passing from the back.

    Think the biggest thing that went wrong for us was the injury of benkovic and lustig this hampered us in terms of the personel we could bring on to change it up i beleive tierney would have been on if we were not forced into those changes

    Folk do need to calm down, no one other than Rodgers will be more than aware that we need to be better to go froward. This is a repurcussion from the summers farce. We will regroup in January, bring in some fresh faces and go again.

    At the end of the summer, after the way we’d been playing, i knew that it was a case of just stride it out ‘till January. And Rodgers said it himself, we wanted to go forward in the summer and we didnt.

    Tierney and Edouard would have been on at half time if it weren’t for injuries to Benkovic and Lustig. Rodgers will have known that too.

    If Tierney and Edouard were fit enough for the bench, shouldn't they be fit enough to start? to me eddy has to start and if Tierney is anywhere near fit he has to start.

    This will be my only post this evening, as I'm becoming inebriated with the booze.

    We were awful, to a man. Gordon got oass marks for a couple of decent saves first half, McGregor out of position was his usual competent self. Nobody else turned up.

    You won't often see me praise the huns, but they wanted it more, battled harder (especially in midfield), and pressed us very well (which is our biggest weak point). That's what won them the game, the mentality of their average players was enough to beat us with a stadium full of DOBs (as well as an officials team full of them) and a bit of luck for the goal.

    Brendan has a lot to answer for starting McGregor at left back, as well as starting wee Johnston up front as it's massive risks to take in a game of that magnitude..BUT, if it kicks the board into action with backing him to get good, technical footballers in the January window then so be it.

    Losing to those * today has to kick us into action, as so far, as much as we're still in Europe, top of the league, won a cup and in the other, we have been poor in the league, and this result does us no favours.

    I'm off to get *, I suggest you all do the same!

    I totally agree, but i think rodgers wanted to try something different then smash them in the second, never happened obviously.

    We * it big time today. Official played their part but our hardon for playing out from the back needs tamed especially if it's not working 10 mins in

    As I said Lustig was just his usual self, wasteful and slow. For their goal it's as much Ntchams fault for not helping Lustig or covering Jack and then no one closing Jack down, everyone just stood as he took a touch and hit.

    Everything spread from the captain not turning and just constantly giving it away, made worse by Rodgers not changing it.

    Being level with that shower of * is not good enough, then take into account being outbattled and outperformed by then it should’ve been 5-0. I won’t be happy till heads roll
