    This is symptomatic of not bring properly backed in the summer. The fact that the chairmans son headed up an abomination that was the summer transfer window is even more galling. The * should be shown the * door. I love Celtic but the nepotism is driving me mad. Added to that does that * Dermot Desmond think we in Ireland with long enough memories don't remember the Glackin Report in 1991 or the Moriarty Tribunal. Time to put up or get the * out.

    We can all clearly see this is not working, we should be getting gradually better not worse. We should get rid, he shafted us before he doesn't deserve any loyalty from us.

    Aye, you think maybe Killie, surface etc games like that can happen time to time..

    It's typical of Celtic to win a dead rubber v Feyenoord and then lose the next league game..

    First time I've been worried about the league, it's not acceptable. I was in favour of getting another window behind him, where he's actually backed but I'm not sure.. not sure he'll backed and not sure he can turn it around..

    I was guilty of being in denial when we lost the 10 and the warning signs are there again.

    He must do better than that today as well, no doubt. But he's clearly not motivated/doing the job proper etc. Much like in the second half of his first stint here, he's sticking two fingers to the board. It's not right, but it's obvious.
    Me?
    Mate Rodgers walked us to a double treble and lined us up for a third.
    Domestic football he is perfectly fine with.
    The clubs proven time and again though that we don't back the squad for Europe. That's not on Rodgers.

    Rodgers isn't the only problem. But if anyone thinks we'd be like this under Ange, they're mental. We've lost all ideas and intensity

    We've still got some of the best players in the league and they have all underperformed, all season. That is 100% on Rodgers.

    We are lacking shape, imagination and purpose, also on him.

    He has publicly thrown the players under the bus on more than one occasion, that will inevitably turn a dressing room against a manager. On him.

    Problem is he's dropping points where we should be comfortable.

    Said it earlier but Ange had a far worse squad, we were further behind the huns yet I'd say the vast majority of fans were behind him because we had a clear style, we dropped points yes, but it was majorly at tough away grounds (bar Livingston at home).

    We have no clear style under Rodgers, there's only one player who looks better under Rodgers than Ange in O'Riley, the rest look worse.

    Motherwell, St Johnstone and Hearts. All at home, all in abysmal form, and we've taken 2 points from 9. Hibs away and Killie away I could forgive, as they're tough away grounds, but the performances in all these games were miles off it. That Killie second half was as bad as anything in the Covid season.

    The board are the larger issue, and Rodgers was shafted in the summer, 100%, but Rodgers is failing to even do the basics anymore. He might turn it around and this post will look really dumb in 6 months time, but I don't think he will, and I think we're heading straight into a car crash if we don't act before the winter break.

    Is that one of the worst win percentages of a Celtic manager in modern history? Got to be up there.

    He’s a huge problem. The board are a bigger one, aye, but he’s making a complete * of it.

    Almost every player is regressing under him.

    Then get him to *. If he thinks we dont have the players to beat Hearts at home or Kilmarnock then he's clearly not good enough to be our manager. If letting the huns win the league and get to the CL is him making a point then he's clearly a screw loose

    The board a massive problem of course it is but to void rodgers of any blame is mental the players are a shell of what they were under Ange. Rodgers football is brutal

    Im assuming because of Ange * off on us and the late coming of Rodgers coming in he new that this was a winning team so didnt want to bring in that many players right away until he finally got hold of the team himself.

    Unfortunately Rodgers then decided to tweek all this and put his own stamp on the team....and it hasnt worked at all.

    We have regressed like *. A manager aint gonna come in and not put his own stamp on a team.....but i honestly belive he should have kept Ange's tactics etc and ran with it.

    Now hes playing Kyogo far back for instance and no goals now and he looks *.

    Rodgers isnt solely to blame for this imo....He came in late,waited to have a good look at team then changed it dramatically after window closed.

    If Rodgers stays he must revert back to Ange Tactics here as it suits us and the players...He must be given a significant amount of money to fix this and not be left with players like MJ and Forrest.

    I think its all to late now though....The fans have had enough with the board the manager and some of the players.

    Sorry but *? Long term problem is the board and our recruitment strategy but he's 100% responsible for the lack of tactics, horrendous subs and * poor man management this season. We've regressed at an astounding rate.

    - Starving kyogo of service and confidence
    - The nawrocki / lagers situation which brendan himself has created by seemingly exciling them from matchday squads despite both being highly rated and looking decent when they have played particularly nawrocki.
    - Playing philips when nawrocki and lagers have been fit despite him being * in every game he's participated in and ultimately costing us points.
    - Making treble winning players drastically worse ie taylor, cal, kyogo, AJ etc etc
    - Ruining our style of play

    None of these issues he can blame on anyone else.

    he isn't fine with domestic football. In his 2nd season we only won 24 out of 38 league games, the Huns were just * so 82 points won the league. in season 3 out of 27 he w 20 d 3 l 5. That's slightly better but it wouldn't win you the league since then.

    We're not direct enough. Daizen and Kyogo are wasted with his tactics.

    I've felt like he's been throwing guys under the bus all season and making a point nearly every game with what he's doing.

    Like why would he put Bernabei on the wing and then bring on Forrest after that, thats basically snubbing Forrest saying youre that bad im putting him on, then using Forrest after it.

    Even the other night when he put Lagerbielke on, I felt like he put him on hoping he made a * of himself. Why would you pick Phillips constantly over him then opt for Lagerbielke in a big moment.

    Similar to how he's used Holm, Bernardo and Turnbull, he completely snubs Turnbull in Europe like your too slow for European football you've not got it and uses Bernardo yet in the League he always snubs Bernardo and plays Turnbull even though both players are probably thinking this * is ripping the pish out of us.

    Then Ralson also, he never gives Ralston runs out now and then to keep him ticking over. Seems to throw him on when we are desperate.

    Some players must be raging.

    And handing these * in excess of 50 million will never be forgiven here.

    They * are in need of money and they about to be handed it by us.


    Shameful.
