    Mad how a midfield consisting of Kamara, Davis, Arfield and Barker is able to nullify our midfield.

    Fairplay their fullbacks and Kent are decent but to be overrun by those midfielders I mentioned above yet again is incredibly embarrassing.

    he wasnt the fault of our defeat but its not been gradual, the decline of brown! hes been declining for a few years now, in his prime he was like 2 midfielders in the one body an incredible player, we have tried to play the same way as his game has deteriotated and havent adapted to it

    mcgregor was as good if not better his passing was quicker, his movement is quicker he need to tackle better though

    ntcham was poor imitation of his former self as usual and poor at supporting frimpong, turnbull has to start now and christie wouldnt be out of my team hes like 2 players in one and that is invaluable

    brown has to start being faded out and with us having so many games every few days we really should be trying our other midfielders to find a way of playing without brown

    It doesn't matter we had players out it is simply down to the tactics and set up. Even when we make subs nothing changes. There is no urgency, desire or fluency in the team. Like it or not that was a comfortable win for the Huns. To come to us, not let us get a shot on target and score 2 is a fantastic result for them. If it was the reverse we would be shouring from the roofs. I said before the game if we didn't match their urgency, get a grip of the midfield we would struggle. I am no professional coach but if I can see it and others on this forum can then surely Lennon can see it. During that second half Slippy was in constant dialogue with Beale. Then you saw Lennon, Kennedy and Strachan. Arms folded, no reaction, no emotion. Almost like they were waiting for someone to perform a bit of magic or for the Huns to fold. Unable or unwilling to change things is a question only Lennon can answer. Something is seriously wrong with the coaching , the players looked lost at times amd devoid of ideas. I would usually say take it on the chin and move on to the next game but nothing I see gives me any confidence that the next game will be any different no matter who we play with or who we play against. Hail Hail.

    Here the whole time
    Have we got a superior squad? We do probably have the 2 best players in Scotland in eddy and mcgregor but even then eddy looks to have lost interest. Over and above that I don't think any of our players get in their team right now. A sad fact we just might have to face up to now.

    It's still a set up devoid of width mate. With only two players out wide, unless they are world class, I feel we just gave their defense a pass today. I'm always more confident when we play with wingers and full backs. Just my preference. Feel I may be in a minority there though.

    Said the same.

    The team out there were good enough players to challenge.
    It's a case of absolutely no fight desire passion. Any of the above

    Ive been very critical of Brown this season. I’m not someone who shows him blind loyalty and have wanted to see him dropped.

    And he was dropped, and we were significantly worse for it. He was one of the few players today, alongside Laxalt and Ajer, who I thought were just about okay. McGregor was our best player in the first half but didn’t show up in the second.

    Nah it will be close but they will drop points to some other * who we will beat, admittedly with an uninspired performance and 96th minute deflection goal off someone's *.

    Need to take my mind off this, ps4 on, feel like greetin, ffs.

    I'm holding on that wee kick. Up * full points out these tricky games and be in a position to be 1 behind with game. In hand.

    Tbh Milan game.can * off, I'd love a couple of wins but you offer me a 5 0 defeat in every euro game and a win in every league game between times I'm. Having that. Use Europe to get players match fit and game. Time in general, not risking them for nothing.

    Who. Gives a * about giving up a few hundred ks for a win, we'll be handing that lot £30m.for CL if we don't buck our ideas up domestically.

    How can you say its the best they can play, and then after concede that you dont watch them play but they played better vs us in the cup final?

    we still had a team of players who should have been able to compete and to muster a shot on target. None of that is acceptable and should never be of any celtic team/performance/manager. They are not barcelona ffs.

    Klimala being slatwd is uncalled for, he is not a lone striker. Ely being slated, he is not a striker. Frimpong being slated, he was isolated, our set up allowed them an extra man to push up on him. Unless we change taxrics rhen there is foong to.be more of tbis
