Celtic Vs Aberdeen, Sunday 23rd October 2011

Cannot really fault the strikers today, frustrating to watch but when they make 30 40 runs apiece and get no or * awful service you cannot expect them to score unless they make it themselves.

 

Anybody got the stats from the game, fed up watching games where we get kicked stupid and then as soon as we dish it out players get booked and sent aff.

Arnason got booked in the 82nd minute, after being spoken to twice had that been Kayal or Brown there would have been no hesitation in booking them.

The sheep did not bad, one chance and they took it but we stepped when we needed.

 

Praising a Team who ONLY ups their game when Aberdeen score - Whit a shambles of a side weve become. - Again the only 2 players kinds interested were Forrest Mulgrew and maybe ki - You would'nt bet your mortgage on this lot beating anyone just now....Lennon is hanging onto his job game by game...were rotten.

 

I thought from the game, Matthews played well, i thought the whole midifield or Ki, Kayal, Wanyama, Forrest had a decent game, nothing spectacular, i thought hooper was poor and stokes was decent and gave 100 % effort. Could have scored more today which would have eased our suffering but onwards and upwards.

 

Yeah, I agree, but with this lot I get the impression that because they have won a match, they will sit there looking at themselves, feeling all proud of their magnificent victory over Aberdeen (our "easy" team), and rest on their laurels and drop points next game out.

Some of these guys look like they don't have a * clue what a ball is, never mind what to do with it. They are so slow mentally it is unbelievable. And don't even mention the defence. What defence, I hear you cry.

 

On another week recently we might have drawn that. Wasn't easy but we still had quite a few chances.

I just wish we could stop the infighting in here and get behind the team and manager.

Did you hear the support when we were 3-0 down? We need to remember this.

Okay we deserve better than we've had but 3 points is 3 points and they deserve our support as much as we deserve their effort.

Come on Neil, don't give the doubters anymore ammunition and get the team to kick on from here. I believe they are capable of more and they need to start showing it.

Charlie Mulgrew really does play from the heart, it's nice to see. He's not perfect but he give 100%. Little bit like Mcmanus used to be.

 

I thought that was poor. We lacked shape and the defence looked very ropey. Frustrating to watch.

 

Very poor performance again. Mulgrew, Forrest, Wanyama and Ledley gave their all. Ki and Kayal peformed reasonably well.

Still a total joke at the back and no bite going forward.

I doubt this team can pull the deficit back without a monumental, and unlikely, collapse from Rangers.

 

Strange game really. We get a brilliantly crafted goal fairly early when Ki finished off what was a fantastic sequence. But after that it seemed like we put the game in cruise control and never really whent for the kill. I expected us to up the game after half but again we were just cruising along until out of nowhere Jack scores what from their standpoint was a great individual goal. That woke us up for sure and we had by far our best spell in the 10 minutes or so after their goal and could easily have scored a couple of times before Mulgrew eventually did. After that McCourt treated us to more of his solo brilliance and was unlucky not to get another wonder goal. A deserved win and a decent performance but nothing more really as we never looked interested in really putting Aberdeen away convincingly as long as we had the lead.

 

we are poor and its going to be a long hard season ahead

 

2 games against a mediocre Hibs coming up. I think it'll show a test of character.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I have a hospitality ticket for the league game actually so hoping to see a decent performance tbh.

 

must agree sd team are a poor side and if they dont start playing the season will be over before new year

 

Were on a poor patch and We got the three points, that's all that matters. A good confidence builder, the team will get better from this!

 

Poor but 3points - Some decent stuff Ki played very well good goal and great assist .

main thing 3points and that is all that counts -Hope this can give the lads the boost needed to really kick on our season.

 

We need to improve but I would have accepted that score before the game.

Three points was a must and we've got them.

We,er too predictable every attack starts te same way sideways passing along the back four and they get shut down and lump it up the park move over.And this long ball * is no good we dont have any one who can win it,we should keep the ball on the deck.

 

Just back from the game and I think it's fair to say the 11 players that started that game have no chance of winning the league

 

Hooper should be dropped next game. Not been good enough lately.
