Neil Lennon

I don't follow those press conferences but are there any journalists in this country? Surely someone should have asked "Mr Lennon, why are you blaming the players after playing a strikerless formation, after having 8 million pounds worth of strikers in the bench, one of which played 10 minutes and the other you refused to bring in?". Do they just swallow this crap of "players who don't want to be here" and print it?

 

I'm surprised anyone is surprised... we are even less enjoyable to watch than we were under Delia at the moment.

Said it from the start that his inability to make substitutions to change a game will be his downfall.

His position would be untenable at any other club after his failure against Cluj and then Copenhagen and now this *..

Our domestic dominance with little competition papers over the cracks.

 

Hate to have a go at such a club legend but lenny has presided over too many shitshows in europe and you can add this one to his collection.
His team selections just dont match up with his tactics and cost us time and again against inferior opposition !!
I honestly see plenty of effort from all the players but some are in wrong positions and some shouldnt be in the team on nights like this .
Nearly everyone i spoke to before the game were wondering why no striker up front even if it was a half each ?
Its like he has to shoehorn certain players like broony into the team when he really should be getting used a lot less at 35 , also surely frimpong or el hamed could play leftback at least until they get someone better than taylor in , he offers nothing and has to be a squad player at best .
Finally if we are going to win 10 it might be a good idea not throwing his players under a bus , leave that to the clown across the city !!

 

Everyone knows Klimala isn't the finished article and is still raw but that doesn't mean you can't give them a chance when circumstances dictate, like tonight.

If you're trying to create a meritocracy and an atmosphere of people getting a chance when they show desire then you don't do it by overlooking guys that are clearly knocking their pan in to impress you.... particularly if you're overlooking them for individuals that don't even play in their position.

 

Not all players that were poor will be wanting away,but they will still need a kick up the *.

 

Well when you have * poor journalists like Tom English reporting on Celtic (who wanted Roy Keane as the manager which says everything about his knowledge), then nobody is ever going to be called out. Happy to paper over the cracks and refuse to ask tougher questions, much like Lennon's cultist fans.

 

He knows he's * it. The decision not to play Klimala or Ajeti is frighteningly similar to the decision to play Calmac at LB last season.

It's a bizarre decision and if it doesn't pay off questions will be asked, so he's reached for the easy scapegoat.

Every season every club has wantaway players during the transfer window. Ferencvaros will be the same.

This loss has * all to do with that. It was bad preparation, bad coaching, bad game management, bad decisions - it's Lennon's fault.

 

Ajer £15m
Rogic £4m
Ntcham £10m
Christie £7m
Edouard £30m
Dembele * all
Boli loan

£66m and we wouldn't spend more than £7m of that on replacements.

* brutal.

 

He was gibbering like i've never seen before and i take not one bit of pleasure from it. That tonight rests on his shoulders squarely and i think he knows it even before his excuses came out.


He'd have done less damage just walking out talking to no *......put Kennedy up or something.....anything other than that.

 

Have to check Lennon on the so-called "malaise" amongst the players. Him, Kennedy, and Strachan all sitting in the dugout at 70 odd minutes, looking like defeated men. If the technical team don't seem up for it, this will trickle down into the playing squad.

 

When did i state he was better that Rodgers?

And you should give a * that he stepped up,no * else would or could at that time.

Regardless of his desicions tonight or last 2 weeks,hes been a good manager for us up here,Trebles come to mind?

 

He's come away looking like a complete idiot and made it worse by deflecting to the players. Even if it's true, don't say it. Made an embarrassing night even worse.

 

Go back and read your own posts, you are all over the * place just like Lennon.

 

Contradicts himself though he blames the defence the. Goes to say we made a bucket load of chances ..... that were not scored because he chose to not okay a striker

So it was 1-1 in a must win CL qualifier and our manager was thinking:

"...you know, we were in control, to the point that I was even going to bring Ajeti on, give him 15-20 minutes"

*. So it wasn't even going to be a tactical move to get a * striker on when we needed a winning goal?! Just a token gesture to give the lad game time, in a * CL qualifier we simply had to win?!

He is havering so much pish.

 

His comments about Ajeti and Klimala both not been fit are laughable.

In order to make the squad you have to be up to a certain standard of fitness.

No reason they couldn’t have played 25-30 mins each, if not there is serious issues. However my spidey senses tell me that Lenny is a plonker.

 

That means he can be fired in the showers

Maybe next game

 

Very unprofessional comments IMO

 

Surely to * they wouldn't offload to this extent. Edouard and Rogic aye a can see it, Boli I don't give a * about, Ntcham and Christie do seem to want away going by rumours only but no chance we would replace like for like either of them.

 

Who thought that when Lennon fielded no striker or waited until the 78th min to throw one on that that wouldn't be his worst decision of the night?
