[Matchday] St Johnstone v Celtic Sunday 4th October Sky Sports football kick off 12Pm

Pedestrian first half has been dire .
Come on bhoys move the ball with pace in the second half and we will score .

 

It’s because how good he can be that it frustrates me man

 

Ntcham aff, Christie oan

 

Thoughts on the half,

Same issues we've seen most of the season, top slow and lacking that bit of imagination that makes goals.

Some sloppy play from us that is preventing moves paying off.

Otherside of things we are getting chopped to bits by St Johnston, the ref is * and we haven't gotten any break of it. They are tiring though and won't be able to keep up the organisation.

 

Very overrated by a lot of the support.

He will at least test their keeper rather than pass it sideways 5 yards.

 

See if Lennon hooks someone at HT when he’s so reluctant to do it in the past when we’ve been screaming for it. Brown and Christie incoming no doubt and they change nothing in that half, we’ve played equally as bad with them in. Let this midfield come out and kick on, 65 mins if nothings changed, shake it up.

 

We were excellent with 2 strikers and we really should go back to that

 

Get Griff up beside Eddie we win 3-0

 

This season reminds me of 08/09

 

He is also our top assister, and plays with a lot more urgency. He gets the ball forward.

 

Playing Elyounoussi and Edouard off each other defeats the purpose. They just constantly take up the same positions and leave us nothing up top. That’s not even mentioning how * they’ve been with the ball.

It’s clear our only tactic is giving the ball to Frimpong and hoping he can do something with it, which St Johnstone have realised as well.

Our team is so slow it’s scary.

 

Sheer frustration.

Moi should have received so many passes. Ntcham has a cheek though, he has been woeful.

McGregor should be dictating more for me. Turnbull I think is doing the basics but not much else.

St Johnstone deserve credit for how stuffy they have made it (fouls aside) but we haven't exactly tried much.

 

We have been excellent today, per Lennon's post-match interview.

 

Looks a 1-0 all over it.

 

How do you explain this one?

 

Problem is that Klimala isn't ready (as we've now seen), Ajeti is injured, Griffiths can't possibly be match fit and Eddy is in the worst form of his life. There's nothing we can do about that, mate. we just have to deal with it as best we can.

I think goals will come as they start to tire.

 

Really poor first half. One shot I think?

Edouard’s form is shocking. His touch, passing etc is miles off it.

Defence and midfield too slow in possession again.

St Johnstone are pressing us all over the pitch which IMO is the ideal situation for us. With the talent we have on the park we should be able to play around them and do the damage.

I’d bring Griff on soon.

 

So disappointed with that so far. Was genuinely happy with the line up. It's got to be down to tactics because we should be smashing them. Finger out Neil this is shocking

 

Would honesty think about bringing Griffiths on and just going two up top.

We played the best we’ve played in Lennons 2nd spell here with 11 players that are still at the club. Those 11 haven’t played together once this season.
