Neil Lennon

My expectations were low in Europe anyway this season. I'm not even surprised by tonight. We were massively dependent on extraordinary performances from Eddy and Forster last year and neither were here tonight. Also Broony being a year older may be a factor (though it's too early to know for sure).

I don't blame Lenny. I don't think he's been backed this year TBH. That's not me making excuses, I was already thinking it before tonight.

We're just not that good at the moment and I don't think that's down to Lenny in the slightest. Hopefully the board invest the Eddy money well.

 

Post of the evening for me right there. Spot on

 

Go back to crying about letters peeling aff yer kit on swallow swallow ya gimp

 

Cant blame them after that shambles from the manager.

I think Eddy will be gone after that possibly Ajer as well.

 

Tbh, I'm totally blank at what he's getting at.

What players can he be highlighting, as it can only be a small few, as he is reliant on the same faces.

He can't be pulling players that aren't getting game time.

 

That headline * me off. So when is Lenny himself to blame?

 

If we started with a recognised striker we would definitely have scored a least 2. We created so many good chances but none of those those “midfielders” made those runs into the 6 yard box a striker like Klimala would’ve

 

bollocks. It’s not all his fault but he picked a team with no strikers. At home. In a one off match. He didn’t change it up till the 80th minute when we conceded again. That’s on him. Woefully naive and reluctant to change. He’s absolutely at fault for that

 

We needed to make a change when we were on top. All we needed was a striker on to be in the right place to finish off one of that pullbacks and crosses across the box that were completely wasted. We were all calling for it.

Can’t understand his reluctance to make changes. Why the * would you give a striker 15 mins when we are 2-1 down when you could have gave him at least 30 mins when we were at 1-1.

Tonight is unforgivable for me. We have been shocking so far this season. Nothing is changing from game to game at the moment. Can’t he see that?

We were absolutely fantastic when we changed to the 352 last year. Why has he changed back to a 4231? I would understand it if we were playing good football with it currently but we have played the same slow, predictable and wasteful football playing it every game this season.

 

I don't want to be hiring a new manager this season, it's not the time. I think he'll bring us the ten, but he's taken us as far as he can overall. Next year we should be looking elsewhere. I'm almost always defensive of players and managers on here, at least compared with a lot of others, but this tonight is a different story. Hearing him say on the radio that certain players dont want to be here, * nonsense chat after a game like that.

 

No Neil, it’s all your fault.

 

Unbelievable he's came out with that tonight..

It's obvious we've got problems behind the scenes considering what Griff gets away with and Boli off on jollies but to time that because you've just got us papped out the champion's league?

Utter riddy..

 

"We seem to have made the same mistakes as last year," Lennon said.

"It's individual mistakes. It's cost us against Copenhagen and it's cost us again tonight."


No Neil, this is YOUR same mistake as last year. These are YOUR individual mistakes to refuse to change things, again.

I'm getting more * as this goes on tonight.

 

Tonight:
Mind boggling tactics
Panic substitions
Arrogance to continue to play his favourites

Generally:
To weak to stand up to Lawwell to get signings.
Zero tactical nuance
SPL level
Doesn't ever learn from mistakes.

I said before the match that this would be this seasons 'Mcgregor at left back' moment. It turned out true.

 

We would be better off with sacking clueless Lenny and giving Kennedy a go as caretaker

 

I can’t believe he’s came out and said that in public, why is he picking those players then?

 

Lenny is 100% to blame for this tonight.

He's brought in a keeper for £5M and a stiker for £5M who he'd rather leave on the bench.

The Edouard money will go where the Tierney money went last season and the Demble money the year before, making up the shortfall for failure

 

I honestly don’t think he will bring us the 10. I don’t think he will stand up and take the blame for tonight and will blame others.

it sounds like he has already started with that saying players don’t want to be here.

 

Honestly he needs to go it's a shambles
