Neil Lennon

Lenny knew which players would be out today. He had a week to prepare the team for that game. The performance was totally unacceptable. Probably the worst game v the huns I’ve ever seen.
To watch him just sitting there looking completely calm made me sick tbh. * has happened to him?

 

I think times have changed since Lenny was a player. Trying to get the likes of Ntcham to understand how much it means to beat the huns and win 10 in a row looks like an impossible task when you consider the way Ntcham wanders around pitch without care in the world trying to decide whether he is actually going to bother his * to put in a performance or not.

 

Lennon comes out and says players arent wanting to play for the club after the CL knockout, that team was;
Barkas, Elhamed, Julien, Ajer, Taylor, Brown, McGregor, Christie, Ely, Forrest, Ajeti, Ntcham, Frimpong.

Why is it, 2 months later we are still playing the vast majority of these players? In fact all of them still play weekly, minus the ones out for Covid reasons and an injury.

I asked this a month ago, but seriously, who was he meaning in those comments? The safe option is Ajer and Ntcham, maybe Christie and Edouard (who did not play). So why are these players still playing to this very day?
What * signal does that send out?
To the players who hinted to, does that tell them they are undroppable regardless what they do or the effort they put in? What sort of motivation is that?
To the rest of the squad, what does that say to them? That no matter what Lennon is gonna just play people for the sake of it and that passion, desire and hunger to be here means for * all? What sort of motivation is that to those players?

He was either full of * after the CL game, or he is full of * since then and till this day!
And either way, he has not got control over that squad or able to motivate them at all.

The issue here is Lennon.

 

Then the manager should have the balls not to play him and instead get guys like Turnbull in the side.
It's extremely * poor man management from Lennon in this regards.

We all know Ntcham can be a talent, but we all know fine well he never tries his * for us anymore, so stop * playing him.

I'd rather get beat playing younger lads who want to make a name for themselves and do well for the club, than guys like Ntcham coast around doing * all.

 

Said the same thing to my da, this was the worst ive seen celtic versus them *.

 

Yes , but I still dont get your point? I made the point that the Huns are , for the first time in ten years, favourites to win the league. I dont care if you have pointed out, quite correctly, that the pricing is skewed a little. The fact That they are now favourites should be a massive wake up call to everyone involved at our club. I still, genuinely, don’t get what point you are trying to make

 

he's playing to rigid a system, this 3 at the back isn't working and you can see how uncomfortable the players are.
our midfield players are reluctant to push to far forward incase it leaves us exposed at the back and that in turn leaves our attackers very little support.
he'll need to change this set up quickly, or the club will be forced to change him.
in one of our most important seasons in our history, this isn't a time for experiments.

 

So whats your solution?

 

When have they shown bottle this season

 

Personally I would have also played Turnbull instead of Ntcham. Ntcham cant be trusted to put in shift, which is the very least he should be doing.

 

That’s why I’m not really understanding the close for optimism among some. I’m not going to slate them, because my gut tells me will will eventually start playing better, but it’s hardly backed by any evidence whatsoever.

We’re not playing any better than we were a month ago. There’s nothing to say we’ll be playing any better a month from now.

 

Bottle!! where's the bottle in playing in playing 6 midfielders at home ,he shat it in the champions league qualifiers too with no * strikers in fact any big game we play he does something * ridiculous

 

I agree his tacticts are awful but i would still want the players i did send out not to bottle eveey fkn challenge

 

Said we created numerous chances, which was absolutely bullshit considering we didn't register a single shot on target and no clear cut chances other than the one Moi missed

 

What’s that meant to mean.

 

Don’t blame Lenny for today.

 

Its like Rio defending Ole. You can only try and convince the fans for so long.
That was farcical today, no getting away from it. If he is a winner, how has he allowed that to happen again? Meaningless words.

 

Pretty much hard to disagree.
