    This comparing it to Rodgers patter is tedious as *.

    Lennon has been the manager for 2 months now and the football is * terrible, given the players he has at his disposal.

    No more excuses. It’s not good enough.

    Better than what we have? Like Burke and Weah instead of Forrest or Eddy?

    After that first weeks results of his I was very excited about having him back but I think it was more my anger at Rodgers and just the whirlwind of emotions clouding me a bit.

    I honestly don't know how it's going to go..

    I no longer care if he does win the treble, none of the performances udner him has been any good except last week against aberdeen and they had 9 men. its the only game we've scored 3 in under him.
    struggling against bottom 4 clubs like livingston, st mirren and dundee is not good enough.

    Genuinely don’t think he’d win the league next season if given the job

    Spot on.

    Starting XI, subs and tactics aren’t up to it.

    Nah, it’s no. It’s a bit of perspective because people forget this is a very long standing problem that Lenny can’t just come in and magically fix in 2 months (2 months outwith a transfer window at that). Team looks dead on it’s feet, half of them are the walking wounded, we have one striker who a lot of * think isn’t even an out and out striker.

    We’ve had our full coaching staff ripped out midway through the season.

    2 months to fix all that? Nah, doesn’t happen in the real world.

    Hard to argue but they should defo be seeing more game time, Benkovic also, but Ajer and Jozo were good today so hard to make the case,but generally speaking they should be playing more,not necessarily starting every week but defo coming on earlier etc.

    Would be nervous from the off. He's way too emotional about it, he seems a bag of nerves in this job now. Stakes are huge the next two seasons.

    Personally thought his football first time round was * most of the time there were some spells it was fantastic but they never lasted, his football since he came back is more of the same.

    Man is beyond a legend at this club regardless. No man will go through what he does and keep coming back and helping us win trophies, no one.

    Sadly though, as a manager we've moved on and mostly progressed beyond his ideas.

    What makes that especially sad is that trying to find that improvement on Lenny and the level of Rodgers is going to proof * nigh impossible.

    Our board must be aware the fans are watching like hawks now and we won't accept something * like Moyes etc...

    More points dropped. It’s just not good enough.

    Fix all of what? Before Lenny took over we had won however many games on the spin since the winter break. Scoring a fair amount of goals and playing decent football.

    Since then it’s been dross displays, 0-0’s and late winners.

    Weah and Burke barely getting a look in despite giving us a bit of freshness and energy early doors. Telling the team to lump in cross after cross after cross when it clearly doesn’t work. Making needless/weird substitutions.

    If it was Steve Clarke in charge the past 2 months, a few more people would be criticising the manager. Because it’s Lenny he’s getting a free pass from those people.

    Aye, I’m worried about next season if he gets it.

    Yep. And everytime the camera pans to him he's looks on edge biting his nails or running his hands through his hair. The whole thing isn't working we need somebody in control, wheels are coming off under him.

    When was the last time a Rodgers Celtic team won at Easter Rd?? Also name me a Rodgers signing who played today that played well apart from our keeper?? Ntcham, Hayes, etc were awful
