Neil Lennon

this is a once in a life time season we can't be giving out more time to people who refuse to learn from previous mistakes

 

Bingo..

I genuinely thought today would be the motivational and turning point. The late winners and pish displays would be eradicated by a will to win. He had nothing in his locker. Zero..

Shameful..

 

What worries me is the fact their forward players never showed up today either. Morelos and Barker were atrocious and Kent done very little, yet they still won very comfortably.

 

Yes I am serious I don't believe that they're as great as some of you think. Just as I believe the same about some of our players but I know with a complete first team we can do so much better. We're not firing on all cylinders for whatever reason right now but it doesn't help having a makeshift team. Like as not it will all settle down. If we're in the same place 2 months from now I will concede that everyone else's assessment is right.

 

I can tell you the reason. Neil Lennon.

The huns aren’t great. But they’re every bit as good as us, at least, right now. Because they are better coached.

 

This is what I said as well the huns will be painted as putting in a great performance when the reality is they've played far better against us and lost just shows how pedestrian we are

 

OK then. I assumed that Kennedy was, as a defender, was in charge of defense. I stand corrected. Whoever is in charge of defense needs to resign now.

 

Yes!!

 

I want change. If the manager can bring that then you’ve got to change the manager. Can’t keep giving him one more big game.

There’s 9 games in a row coming up that are going to be tough. We could come out of it right behind him again or with a new manager.

 

They all are.

 

I genuinely don't get the hate that John Kennedy gets. Every player seems to love him and praise him (Same when Duff was here) but anytime we lose he gets slated I think it is telling the snake tried to take him with to Leicester he must have something.

 

A good point here re defence as good as Kennedy may be at coaching wheres the evidence? Our defence has been shore since vvd left

 

His interview was more embarrassing than our performance. Get him out

 

I would be giving Rafa or Pochettino a blank cheque and a 6 month contract with a shot at becoming a legend and walking in to the sunset at the end of it

 

He won't go after this and won't be sacked despite how much I want him to go. So what's the tipping point for most folk and the board.

A loss against Milan would be accepted as it's Milan, but to drop any more points in the league would be fatal for him. One thing that's * me off is the lack of match sharpness he goes on about, yet puts a 20 year old that hasn't played a first team game in months in Just makes you look stupid and weak.

 

The attitude, commitment and desire of the players disgusted me today. The reasons for that need to be looked at. I think its disgraceful that the players cant show the desired urgency in a game like this, have we got ourselves a bunch of * snowflakes who need to be delicately persuaded by the manager into giving a good performance against our biggest rivals. However if the manager has 'lost the dressing room' then there is a serious issue. Its very hard to say when you are not privy to what goes on in the dressing room and the mind set of players but there is something not right with the mentality of the team.

 

What has he said? Any links? I've been out since end of game.

 

Says a lot when even the resident Neil Francis Lennon brigade are nowhere to defend that.

 

His treatment of Griffiths and Rogic is disgusting. It is obvious they were match ready for much longer than Lennon claims. The "match fit" is just a stupid excuse. A manager that cares so much about match readyness and the players being at 100% wouldn't throw a kid in his second league straight into the most important match of the season so far. And this is what makes me so critical of Lennon. Being incompetent at your job is not a character flaw. This is.

 

Correct.

The real danger here will be this head in sand approach. It’s very naive when looking at the season so far.

We are miles off the pace, tactically inept in important games, quality players never “fit” and the worst thing is that to a man not one of the side is playing to near their best.

Any suggestion that this is but a sign of huge underlying issues is bizarre.
