    Positive is we won the cup, but the manner
    We won is what is concerning and being criticised rightly, we were 2-0 and cruising and our arses completely collapsed and were on the verge imo of losing that game in normal time, Hearts were making better chances than us. As soon as they started pressing us Brown had much more to do and couldnt handle it he should have been replaced much earlier, the game management was shocking once again, we are not a team who can sit in when pressed our best defence has always been attack but we were sitting in like we were playing * Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

    No one should be surprised that Robbie Neilson out-thought Lennon. Our manager is about the same level as Neilson.

    Nelson is a level above. He showed tactical knowledge.
    Of course they would change it but why didn't Lennon change anything until so late. Even then the formation seemed to stay the same. The midfield didn't change and they carried on exploiting it.

    No, he won a treble, part of s quadruple treble.

    And we played 120 mins, 45 was decent, 75 was *.

    Aye Neilson’s penalty tactics were shocking. Lennon is tactically amazing when it comes to penalty shootouts.

    Neilson is a * manager, but that’s how bad Lennon is.

    If an SPFL club was hiring a manager, Neilson would get the job over Lennon every day of the week.

    Lennon gets the Celtic job because.. well he ‘knows the city’, apparently.

    Lennon’s level is below Hibs.

    Unless we take a 4 goal ht lead into games, I'm no longer convinced we can see out games right now.

    This isn't a new development this is a culmination of poor results and dropped points proving we seem unable to hold out a marginal lead.

    Lennon needs removing from the position along with every member of coaching staff, all them, senior to youth anyone who has been given the role unfairly, that includes the likes of McManus and O'Dea.

    This club needs a * overhaul.

    Yeah Neilson the manager in charge of relegated Hearts would get a job before a CL manager who has multiple trophies as a manager.

    Have a word with yourself :giggle1:

    CL manager is funny.

    More recently, sacked Hibs manager that failed miserably at Bolton. What was the champions league club that wanted Lennon apart from ‘Knows the City FC’?

    You could give Rodger’s treble treble winning team to any manager in Scotland and they would win trophies with it. I daresay most would find a way to maintain it longer than Lennon did, Neilson included.

    By the way, Neilson (who I maintain is *) was a penalty shootout away from beating Lennon in the cup, with a relegated Hearts team.

    People have drunk the Lennon Kool-aid, probably because the guy spends most of his press conference time telling us how lucky we are to have him. Ignore the many failures please.

    Yup. Everything wrong is Lennons fault and everything good is in spite of him.

    Yawn.

    A disingenuous assessment to hide the truth - that he’s severely underperforming for the level required at Celtic, much like Neilson would be - because they’re the same level.

    Winning a cup by penalties doesn't make an argument, that our manager is better my dear.

    More like the contrary, it says our manager is worse because Neilson even made it to the shoot-out with a far inferior squad.

    Giving in to the fans eh?

    Another one who thinks they know what goes on behind closed doors at Celtic, or just flat out mind readers.

    I honestly don’t know why some of you are wasting away on this messageboard when you could clearly be managing at a high level.
