    Let's be honest lads did anyone expect us to win today. They have bullied us the last 3 games scoring 3 goals each time we aren't as good as people say we are, said it weeks ago if and its a big IF we manage to beat Aberdeen it will be the worst celtic team to win a treble in my life time

    Maeda looks like he’s struggling with injury

    I wouldn't assume that this season, he was missing sitters left and right. That's not to defend Idah though, I've never been convinced by him, if Kyogo was still here I'd be starting him ahead of Idah even in his shittest run of form.

    Terrible Brendan should take idah off for that performance but he won't. Engles Hatate also *, we need to do something to dominate middle of the park,
    Might aswell try a 352 Taylor Ralston idah off Nawrocki schlupp mcgowan on.
    But he will wait till 60 minutes. Just * from us there.

    Rodgers should make huge changes at half time, if nothing else but to make a statement

    Losing 3 league games to a Hun team in the Le Guen/Warburton/Murty mold who are miles behind in the table us is a stain on our season, not gonna lie. If they win this, watch them fail to win the other 3 remaining games.

    Rodgers better fire a rocket up each of their arses.

    We're better with diazen up front. Shame jota is injured as that's what we would have started with. Left and right back are *. You can see obvious holes, but we always play better second half and being only 1 down i can see it ended 2-1 to us.

    We need to get a lot more ball out to Maeda - or, better yet, move him to striker.

    Lacking a bite in midfield, as per usual.

    Idah absolutely has to take his chances.

    Taylor doing a lot of running around but how effective is any of it?

    Don't know what's more offensive, that performance or Petrov's jacket.

    Our tackling is absolutely abysmal for the 4th game in a row. We engage in a tackle and the Hun player actually comes off better than if our player wasn’t there. See Igamane goal last time and Dessers goal this time.

    It’s * unbelievable.

    It’s a bad day when a 34 year old James Forrest is the only player you’d even consider giving pass marks in that first half.

    One thing is for certain, I don't want Rodgers anywhere near transfers in the Summer.

    Idah, Trusty, Engels. Absolutely rotten for the outlay. Unforgivable actually.

    Far too many cut him slack for our worst ever transfer window in the Summer of 23', too.

    Biggest issus, individually, Engels not doing anywhere near enough in midfield, Ralston is probably rusty but is too hesitant in the final third.

    Team wise, heavily underutulising Meada. If the ball OTT isn't happening, get someone close for a one-two and release. Ball to feet ain't working for him. I've counted at least four turnovers Taylor to Maeda.

    Its clear we miss Maeda through the middle and AJ on the right.

    Hatate has been the only midfielder that increases the tempo when we dip to pedestrian.

    We’ve controlled whilst looking a bit toothless and uncertain on the front foot.

    Schmeichel, AJ, Jota and Kuhn. There is 4 right there. I jest, but I totally get what you mean though.

    But seriously, Celtic's tactics are far, far too predictable in this fixture, and Rodgers insistence on these, and seeming inflexibility to learn and adapt has to be questioned also.

    I don’t think Engels is a bad player but he isn’t a game changer and we need an attacking mid like Oriley and a proper DM beside him. Hatate, McGregor and Engels aren’t gelling together and haven’t worked in a lot of big games.

    I’d take Leigh Griffiths over Idah any day. That boy is overrated. He’s not the level we should be operating at but I can see why we bought him after his contribution on loan but I think by now it’s safe to say we got done.

    Need to bring on Yang for the second half and move Maeda into the middle. Maybe bring Schlupp on for Taylor.

    Play the same way the second half and they'll score another 2 at least.

    No real pass marks out there, a draw would be a good result in the face of things, if we lose a third time then questions will be asked of Rodgers, treble or not, as mental as that may sound.
