    Totally lost faith in his set up now. Needed to see something more from the team today but its just another red flag performance on so many levels.

    Maybe he will turn it around, maybe he wont. But until I see it Im going to have to say that I think hes part of the problem right now. Cant seem to get past the burst of form we had this which is almost a year ago.

    Its honestly hard to believe how little ambition the team has to simply move the ball forward and get into attacking positions.

    The approach needs completely ripped up and its clear hes never going to do that.

    Scandalous from him..

    They've conceded against everyone and been hoachin. Can't keep anyone at bay.....yet again cannot come up with anything..

    This Celtic attack is as slow and pish as anything I've seen, possibly in my lifetime. There is zero creativity or tempo to our play..

    It's embarrassingly bad..

    Going to be a long, long, long season with him in charge, would be doing us all a favor if he just walked because something is rotten with him at the helm right now, to have not defeated that woeful Sevco side within 90 mins in over a year is criminal

    We've seen this before with Rodgers at Leicester and the first time with us: when he feels like he isn't being given the tools to achieve what he wants to achieve, he loses all motivation.

    Each passing game certainly looks like this.

    Not proactive enough to force the game. Looks lost of ideas.

    For years we had a makeshift defence and that was the problem, now we have two glaring issues.

    midfield and the forwards.

    going to be a long season.

    Be shocked if we sign anyone in the next 24 hours.

    He just looks like he's phoning it in, and that's reflected in the squad. No enthusiasm, energy, desire to try something new or approach things differently.

    He's more of a hindrance than an asset at this point, hope to * some EPL outfit come in for him ASAP as he has lost the plot completely. * joke.

    Can you blame him in all honesty to be fair? I don’t but it’s make the fans suffer which * people off but he’s trying to make a point.

    He talks so much about working hard, giving everything etc that its quite convincing.

    But his set up comes across now as the laziest thing ever. They have weak links all over the place in there side we could have targeted for match ups. I doubt we even sit down and look at them though. Its just - heres the same old system. We play our way.

    We still cant get a throw in to work. We look so poorly coached.

    I would be happy if we parted company.

    End of last season his football was abysmal, no change this season.

    Yes, I can. He's getting paid. Do your job.

    I thought it was interesting that he reminded the players that Celtic pay their wages recently. As a way to motivate players, it's ludicrous; but as one of those things where you externalise an internal conversation you're having with yourself inside your own head, it makes perfect sense.

    I'd sack him. Things will only get worse

    I get that, 100% but if he’s been made promises and they have backtracked etc and the only way he thinks is doing what he is doing is to help him get his way I can understand it.

    Am I happy about it, no absolutely not, I would rather he came out in the press and said how he really felt, think he would get more support around it.

    Not one player has improved since his return. Stands on the touchline with his arms folded staring at the ground. He doesn’t seem able to motivate the players which is a huge concern. Devoid of changing things during a game.

    Yes, I'd rather "Angry Rodgers" than "Lazy Rodgers" any day. I think we'd all get behind "Angry Rodgers". As it is, "Lazy Rodgers" will make us as angry with him as with the board.

    Wish you hadn't quoted my spelling mistake before I corrected it. Could you not have waited a minute? :56:

    He needs to take responsibility for these turgid performances.
