    I know its mad to say but the defence seems to be the least of our worrys since boyata and benkovic start its our threat in front of goal thats concerning! Teams havent just started sitting back the last few seasons! We used to see stats of 20 odd shots a game with 10 at least on target and deila etc would say we needed to start putting more on target and scoring them even when scoring 3 or 4 a game

    Quite surprised at the amount of people on here who are saying it looks like his time is up. I am not going to agree or disagree. But the team haven’t fired on all cylinders since Rodgers first season and there’s no excuses for it other than Rodgers stubbornness to change formation and tactics and a lack of a plan b.

    He has earned more time to try and get this right. He needs to have a look at himself and realise he is a big part of the problem in order for him to sort it out.

    In terms of timescales, i think he has next 2 weeks to fix it and get points on the board. The Huns have their tails up and we can’t afford to let them get too far ahead of us.

    He requires a fundamental change in his principles to turn this around. Is he brave enough to take that on? Personally I think he knows it and is struggling to accept it.

    Tbh it's hard to call for his head, but we are on a shoogly peg with 10.

    Hopefully it gets back on track but not sure about just his vibe, seems way off.

    If it does happen and he leaves, I do honestly feel Clarke would be a good appointment. He knows how to put up a defence and I do believe with a club like Celtic he would be attack minded too.

    But I'm holding out with Brendan changing his attitude.

    If people think Brendans time is up then the next manager has an impossible task ahead, honestly.

    Not questioning what he,s done in the past he,s been great.
    But its not happening for him for a while now and he seems unable to fix it.

    Theres people on here completely dismissing the idea of him getting the boot ,but if it wasnt for what he has already done for us then they may have a different opinion.

    We cant keep on looking backwards and the things we have achieved and think because of what we have done in the past it means the manager will sort this out,its doesnt work like that.

    We need to maintain our standards on the pitch but we are not and its down to the manager.If he can sort it as many seem to think he will then thats great but its been wrong for a while now and he knows it but seems unable to fix it,so how long do we give him?

    I heard this is our worst start in 20 years maybe it is or not but one look at the league and everyone can see its not good enough.People are laughing and the idea of him getting the boot ,how long will they give him?

    Mental to want him gone after 6 league games. Yes it's been a bad start but that's as knee * a reaction you could have after a near enough perfect 2 seasons so far.

    To say "we can't keep looking back" is ridiculous, the first time BR has had a genuine problem on his hands to fix, we have to give him to time and support to get it right.

    the bar was set so high that disappointment was just around the corner. i,m not saying br isnt struggling right now , but he will get it done. but lets all have a cup of reality , odds are we are not gonna win the next six cups no matter who is in * charge ,nor just stroll thru the league . i welcome this challenge , thats why i,m a Glasgow Celtic fan!
    the rumours of our demise have been greatly exaggerated! apologies to mark twain for * wi his quote

    Since the beginning of February, we have dropped points in 10 of our 19 league games. That is utterly atrocious.

    The fans should be woried?
    Yip.

    It's almost as if we're intent on sabotaging our own defence of OUR title.

    Just a * shambles, no matter how much people try to deflect and give it the "keep the faith" bollocks...

    Might have been a disappointing scoreline but I thought some of Hendry's touches reminded me of Puskas in his prime.

    I don't want him gone, but we have not been consistently good since the end of January.

    Would be interesting to see the exact run of fixtures..

    Our creativity is honking and the worst during his tenure by far..

    A lot of time's last season, we were still creating quite a lot but poor in our finishing. Today our best chances were from set pieces and only seems to be because of Boyata..

    To be 6th no away wins, 2 defeats, no scoring more than 1 goal apart from opening day against promoted Livi is shocking..

    Our fixtures have been fairly favourable for the first 6 game's as well..
