hearts Vs Celtic, Sunday 2nd October

Look who it is. Crawled out of the woodwork have we?

 

How did Sammy do in the last game against the Orcs? Or any other game apart from the ones you mentioned?

If Lennon has had one failing it has been his blind loyalty to this imposter. And to say they are just not that good is ridiculous. Stokes and Hooper scored a shitload last season and Stokes was top assist. Reason he didnt score in big games was because he wasnt played.

 

nobody's said so i will

this is a YOUNG TEAM MADE UP WITH GUYS IN THERE EARLT 20's

this isn't a team of experienced players

with a young team with ours you get inconsistency

i think last year it helped the team when lennon had all that crap to deal with it and it brought everyone together to play well

but i don't think that's why we lost today i think we had to play around hearts they played 451 we either played 451 same as them or we had to have the confidence to play the ball around them
thats the tactics that would have got a result today unfortunately it didn't look like lennon thought the same or that the players beleived they could play through hearts

 

Right, Neil Lennon, you say the right things in the interview room, nobody on this site has EVER questioned your loyalty to the fans, players and the club Celtic FC.

We love you and will always be known as a legend who has give 100% both as a player and a manager.

But....It would appear recently you have lost the dressing room, I saw nothing out there today, nothing, no passion, no quality and no heart to wear the shirt, that team made us look like fools, they aren't that good, in reality they are just a bunch of hard working * with limited quality and bags of graft, if all it takes is that to win a football team Stoke would be top of the league, you have to come to places like this and win, match them for their passion and use our superior quality to create more chances.

Soon as I saw Ki in the team I knew what was coming, that's not a dig at the boy, he is a great footballer who on a great pitch with time on the ball is absolutely quality, I can't blame Lennon too much for that with Kayal, Brown and Ledley out he had to play today, but you knew this wasn't his game.

Just imagine what Sergio was saying to Ian Black before the game, "Get into Ki early, get tight and he can't play his football, take him out the game Celtic lose one of their main creative forces" it's so simple but so easy to stop us.

People keep saying the Huns are * which is starting to * me off, if they are * than what are we? So we play better football, is that really better than winning 4 in a row with much less financial backing? Our back four look like a bunch of Sunday League footballers, I'm not even going to go into details about them, I can't be bothered. Forster, is just absolutely crap, he has 0% command of the box, everytime I see a ball getting swung in our box, I just hope he get's near it, I have no confidence at all. We didn't handle the atmosphere today at all, we looked like scared almost at times, like we knew we were in big trouble, does that make sense?

There doesn't seem to be any communication with our back four, they seem to be just content on focusing on their own indiviudal game, which is quite worrying, if you didn't know probably today, you would have just thought 4 players were picked out of a hat to play for the same team in defence, we were caught out of position, our full backs didn't know to get forward to stay back, we had Maj as an emergency striker who was put up there to win a couple of flicks on's and I don't remember him winning a single header, we must have the only defender in the world he looks like a man mountain but plays like a Teddy Bear.

10 points behind the Huns already, I can't see us getting that back, I can see the Huns adding to it, how much hurt do we have to go through? Why didn't Lenny just bring in a * GOOD central defender capable of winning a header and composed on the ball?

Man for Man today we were rubbish, I don't think we would have scored if we were still playing now, even with 11 men.

 

of course he's back.

 

We fall apart without Joe Ledley.

 

I think it's called Delusional sammy NOT hopeful.

If you seen the post about 3 or 4 above someone said we will be back on top before the new year ??? The shipments must be 100% pure this week eh

 

In the 0-0 game he was poor, but in the 4-2 game it was completely down to our defence. The forwardline got 2 goals, which was enough to win at Ibrox last season.

How did Stokes do when he started against the huns last season? Oh aye, lost 3-1 at home and he nearly got sent off after a couple of minutes for a horrible challenge. Stokes is not the answer in big games.

 

His hands was tied on the whole Tevez Saga due to having the same Agent .

 

Horrible twisted logic. Stokes starts one game on the wing and plays no worse than Samaras, and from that one game, when everyone was awful, he is 'not the answer.' Stokes should have won us the title last season at Ibrox when he won the penalty, but look who stepped up and * it. In the 'big game.'

 

I thought I had better to come on and support NL and our wonderful backroom team since they appear to be getting *' slaughtered on here today !

 

Now, now...no need for that sort of talk.

I have posted nothing negative today about the performance.

It's pointless. It won't change under this regime.

Our glorious leaders will do no wrong !

 

Strange one today guys. The blame is always going to lie with Lennon.

Injuries have ruined our start to the season and we simply can't afford to buy "quality" squad players imo.

Ledley and Kayal imo are 2 of our biggest players. They almost make us tick but you don't rely on 2 players.

I don't know what the answer is but I can tell you shouting for Lennon's head isn't it.

Supporters eh... some couldn't spell the word.

Everything's rosey in the garden - Look we have nearly Zero debt and we can open more shops in Asia and fill the team with asian players so that we can sell even more jerseys and put the money in the vault in Switzerland.

Mr Lawwell & Desmond can appoint a "Balance Sheet" as our next Manager and see if it can win a trophy

 

the rankers won the league last season after losing 5 games

so why cant we after losing 3 ?

answers on a postcard ?

 

We regularly start one Asian player, Ki, and he's one of our best players by a mile.

 

NL's tactics ?

 

That was a gutless performance today. The second half was reminiscent of the second half at Inverness last season.

We have problems at the back. Our defenders don't attack the ball or tackle hard enough for my liking. The cross ball that led to Skacel's goal must have been up in the air for about 5 seconds and yet the Hearts player was still able to bring it down unchallenged. That's sloppy and not good enough. Thomas Rogne should be brought into the team - now!

The midfield wasn't great today either but I think there are mitigating circumstances for that. When we were at our best last season our midfield was Brown, Kayal, Ledley and Commons. Brown, Kayal and Ledley were all missing today and Kris Commons is a shadow of the player he was last season. So perhaps it's not a huge surprise that the midfield wasn't great.

We need Brown, Kayal and Ledley back in the team as soon as possible. I would drop Ki as soon as those 3 are available again. With Ki it seems to be a feast or a famine. He's either excellent or he's invisible. He cannot be trusted to put in a good performance and he rarely delivers the goods in tough away matches like we get at Ibrox or Tynecastle. What to do with Kris Commons? I just don't know. He's gone totally off the boil and that tackle today was a disgrace. He let himself down, the team down and Neil Lennon down. I'd drop the guy till he gets his finger out his * *.

Up front I wish we would just go with Stokes and Hooper. Neil Lennon's constant * about with our front line is costing us. Samaras is * and should nowhere near the first team and Bangura has done nothing so far to merit a starting place ahead of Anthony Stokes or Gary Hooper. I don't know what Neil Lennon's beef with Anthony Stokes is but he needs to sort it the * out. And soon. Anthony Stokes has actually been our best striker so far this season, even better than the 'undroppable' Gary Hooper, and yet he's always the guy that gets dropped for the big games. Sorry Neil but you've got this one wrong. Very wrong. Get Stokes back in the team and keep him there.

It's pretty depressing stuff right now. I felt sure we'd win the league this season. Now I'm thinking we might win it. One thing's for sure, if we ARE going to win it we have a * of a lot of improving to do.

 

So if Rangers lost say Davis and Jealvic would THEY crumble like us? Would they *! After Lennon's first two seasons, I think your being very harsh having a go at the fans, would the Huns put up with this from Ally? I think we have ALL been very patient and Loyal to Lennon, it's time HE payed us back and backed his words he made.
