    Just feels like the team shat it without cal, midfielders hiding from the ball in first half . McGowan has some nice passes but also * half of them. Engels in his own head too much and ccv slowed the game down far too much. Really disappointed with a lot of players, not even gonna Mention AJ

    I'd like to apologise to Fenerbahce, to even slag them now after that I'm ashamed.

    They'd easily have taken 5 or 6 off us over 2 legs, possibly double figures.

    I apologise Jose.

    Dunno what thread to put this in, but would everyone take losing every domestic game vs them but winning the league cause they drop points against everyone else? That's kinda what's starting to happen.
    Obviously the league is our bread and butter but we need to be beating those *, especially at home, that was horrible today.

    Listen to the first 10-15 seconds of this *....

    Unfortunately this backs up everything you say (and I agree with). It's not always about talent. You need all the qualities within yourself that sadly a lot of our players lack currently.

    Said it leading up to the game. Control the MF, control the game. We've never done that past 3 games, we've conceded 9 and should've been more if we're honest.

    Adding Calmac back isn't the entire fix either. He was part of the NY mauling as well.

    As, I posted in the BR thread, the majority of our players and manager should be ashamed of themselves after that insipid performance today. They lacked any fight and our manager, yet again, was tactically nieve and should be embarrassed that a wee ned got the better of him . You could see that the huns were well up for it from the very first minute and it was similar to our last two games aginst them which is a major worry. Fecking raging

    If this is life without calmac then we're in deep * *.

    Aj was a nightmare
    Engels looks like a * waste of money
    Kuhn was invisible and as much as idah tries he's not celtic class, it's great that he can win the ball and hold of the defenders but its useless when it just pinballs off him to the opposition anyway.

    They were first to every 50/50, they outfought us in almost every department and our mentality today stunk.

    We've scored two 87th minute "winners" in the last 14 months against them and somehow conceded an equaliser anyway but today when the position was reversed our players looked dead and buried, it was * pathetic.

    3 games in a row we've now failed to beat them over 90 minutes, conceding 3 goals in all of them.

    The defence against them is a joke.

    Our bench today was abysmal and that's on lawell and his cronies in the * boardroom.

    The manager got * schooled today by the sportscene punditry team ffs its completely unacceptable

    Just like in the Munich game the lack of the quality on the bench cost us again and they brought on 3 subs that could score a goal and that's what happened.
    For them who are * skint to have better options on the bench is on the Celtic board and selling Kyogo and not replacing him is * shocking and just as well we have a 13 point lead and I'm starting to question Rogers tactics as well lost 9 goals in 3 games against them now .

    There’s no recent proof to say it would have been any different. The 2 games we played before this, the exact same thing happened. We just scraped through one of them. Ifs, buts and maybes.

    Players have bad days, teams have bad performances, managers have the wrong tactics, that's football. But why do ours always come against the filth? Why do we become weak, not only physically but mentally. We lacked belief, didn't we realise they were coming, we'd been told long enough :rofl:.
    Orc's enjoy your 3 pts, we'll enjoy our 3 trophies :treble::RedFinger:ynwacelti

    That’s why I used the term ‘speculation’. You’ll also notice that I said ‘on the law of averages’.

    The last two games and today were different, in that we had 85% possession at times in the second-half today (with Reo having a very good game) but you think McGregor would’ve made no difference? I beg to differ.

    I think McGregor does make a big difference today, the game went by him at Ibrox but having him there and Engels further upfield would have made a difference.

    It doesn't fix the lack of physicality in our team suddenly, but we're a lot more organised if he's playing.

    Another game where they press us high and our players can't figure out how to best it too easily boxed in by playing the ball backwards and harried into passes because they want too much time . Manager and players need to sort it out of they will get beat at ibrox when we go there Hearts will do the same next game and may get a result Them in got a point with the press in the 1st game with Aberdeen at CP and nearly got a Win so it's not a new tactic against us .

    Becoming a habit against them now,they seem to up their game while we seem to lower our standards and play *.

    Not sure if its because we have had it easy winning leagues ,cups etc but for some reason they seem to want it more,this is where the manager earns his wages but Rodgers doesnt seem to be able to get them fired up for these games lately.

    Annoying as * not get a result against them,imo its down to Rodgers,the fires gone out in this team and he needs to get it sorted.

    Thier team is a joke and a shambles and they played us like a fiddle. Embarrassing doesn't even begin to explain it. Title in the bag or not, today was a * show from start to finish and the manager and players need a good kick up the backside. Weak as * from start to finish.

    We should never lose at Parkhead. Ever and certainly not to a huns team like that.

    I lost count the number of times our front three had made a run and a simple ball over the top might have paid dividends however, we chose to pass it about at the back as per fecking usual
    AJ was one of the worst offenders

    This, all day. Plus, he has a presence that none of the rest of the squad have, clearly. Where were the rest of our leaders today??

    We didn't get Jota involved nearly enough for that match.

    He was the only player wanting and able to take a player on and when given the chance he was getting by huns down his side with relative success.

    Everyone else just got caught ball watching and in two minds about what to * do, so many players indecisive with their actions and then losing the ball.
