SPFL St Mirren v Celtic Sunday 18th September Sky sports football kick off 12PM

Well we truly fecked that up today. I've always believed we should start with our strongest team and if we are comfortable then make the changes. High balls into the area were our Achilles heel once again due mainly to us not being aggressive enough. Love big Joe but he really needs to come off his line to claim the ball. I don't think anyone deserves pass marks today but there were some who were worse than others and maybe our bench isn't as strong as we thought it was. Would have been good to go into the break with a win but it wasn't to be and it's so fecking annoying.

 

We have been weak at high balls for what feels like years. Multiple managers haven’t been able to solve it.

 

On a positive note today


The fans observed the minutes silence impeccably

 

Got to say that's deviously clever.

 

Just still * gobsmacked! * it back to swally.

We have no devine right to win any game, but that today was absolutely atrocious.

The strip should be taken and rammed up the * of the designer and the money grabbing * that sanctioned that crap as a Celtic strip.

The manager is to blame for the team. A dreadful selection. Too many changes at once and if the poor dears are tired they can come try to pull in the shifts I do.

One saving grace is the haters will be too busy gloating to start moralising, however they will still try to mix it and, of course, we are only a few weeks away from Poppy *!

Back to the football, * today is how it is best summed up.

 

Ralston, Welsh, Mooy and Turnbull all *, if they want to be starters then they certainly didnt do anything to prove themselves to Ange today.

Abada, Taylor, McGregor very very poor, let us all down badly today.

Kyogo anonymous today but then its hard to score when no one is creating opportunities for you.

also keep that third strip where it belongs, in the * bin, how was that not a clash of kits today.

Got what we deserved today, we turne dup thinking it'd be a walk in the park and udnerestimate dour opponents, thats the only stadium Ange hasnt won in so far as celtic manager, * we've not even scored a * goal against them there, 0-0 and now 0-2.

Hope this is a wake up call to the team that they cant turn up and just expect to win, you dont see that shower of * across the city losing to anyone in scotland but us and will that be enough this season if we drop stupid points to st mirren.

 

Better taking this sort of defeat now than later. In some ways it's a good thing it's happened, Nothing like a wake up call after everyone involved in the club thinking we are unbeatable domestically.

And another positive is it takes the heat off van bronchkurst meaning they'll continue with their rubbish manager and start thinking they have a chance at winning something again...dangling the carrot.

 

It was the way we lost..

We were never gonna go unbeaten, particularly being in the group stages of the champions league. Always tougher off the back of them but everything about today was woeful..

The lineup
The lack of pace that was brought in
The amount of creativity and guile taken out
How weak we were
How flat we were
No runner's
Open
Lacklustre
They wanted it more

Can take getting beat if we give everything and just have an off day but that was alarming. Can barely remember their keeper being troubled. Was no bombarding them. We had no idea's from very early on. They actually looked more like scoring at 2 nil..

So sore and even more galling that it's the last game before the international break where we have to stew over it for 2 week's..

All we've done is give them a lifeline..

Don't think it's over the top the criticism. Was nowhere near good enough..

 

Knew after a few minutes when no one was in any rush to get ball back in play it was gonna be a long afternoon. Literally walking to take corners and throw ins. A millions miles away from our usual keeping the intensity as high as possible.

 

They had that annoying knack of picking up the ball and running it back in to play at our throws and stopping any flow..

Oh well..

 

Bad day at the office, we all have them then we move on

 

The team selection was baffling, I know we have played a fair amount of games recently and spent a lot of energy in the last 3 games. But we are now into a 2 week international break but some players who do not have Internationals were rested. Taylor, Calmac played the full game but no doubt will be playing chase ball for Scotland.

 

That was an embarrassing performance today. There can be no excuses as the team selected should still be more than good enough to beat St Mirren....

Ange will be raging at himself and at the players who looked disinterested today which is unusual for an Ange team.

It's a kick in the balls right enough but we have a fortnight to get back on track again and remind the world why we are champions and why we will be champions again

 

Gutted, but have no doubt we will win the league

 

All about opinions but genuinely soon as I saw the line up wasn’t confident, between mooy and Turnbull, no jota oriley hatate, couldn’t really see where the service to our strikers was going to come from

 

They got it spot on and we * it. Hopefully a wake up call for Ange and the players. Going back to Rodgers days I'd always feel bad when we would change a full starting line up and then write off a Kouassi for example when he's playing in a B team with no cohesion. Feel the same today, except Welsh for example, its no really about that, getting bullied as a centre half, it should be bread and butter stuff to deal with and not really affected by who he's playing beside. Aw well, onwards, FTQ.

 

I also worry about potentially losing CCV and Starfelt for longer as Jenz and Welsh give me the fear...particularly when Hart is a bit suspect just now.

We need to get our * together...

 

One thing was missing today that unites this team - wearing the Hoops !

There was no need to wear the 3rd strip today, and whoever chose grey for this strip should think again.

Reminds me of a similar strip Man Utd wore about 8 yrs ago for an away game and they also got beaten. The players had trouble finding each other on the other side of the pitch because the shirt colour was blending in with the overall colour background of supporters watching.
