    He has 4 strikers: one is injured, one is working through mental health issues, one is a young project who isn't ready yet and the other isn't match fit yet. None of that is his fault.

    Honestly, anyone surprised by tonight hasn't been paying attention.

    He is tactically inept all too often.

    His pig-headedness puts the club at a huge disadvantage. The fixes are plain for all to see, which makes his refusal to implement them all the more perplexing. I am sure that many of us could see this coming.

    See this thing of not having fans in the ground means he's not going to know what we are thinking. No one to call him out

    Sorry mate but that's way off the mark for me. We are top seeds in this qualifying route and have already spent £5m on a striker, £4m on a goalkeeper and have Elyounoussi back in on loan who would walk into every other team in the qualifiers.

    He refused to play Klimala, refused to drop Brown, and refused to make subs - all decisions that every celtic fan and his dug would've made tonight if given the chance. I'm not one who batters in to him when we lose as I think the players take the blame a lot of the time and aren't always held accountable but Lennon holds all the blame tonight, mental tactics (or lack of)...

    They just got here and the striker isn't even fit yet. They will come good. We do this kind of gamble every year, no matter who the manager is.

    Said questions need to be asked but I’d rather just get another manager in. Tactically he’s poor and he keeps making the same mistakes.

    It’s clear from his interview that the players aren’t responding to him. He’s not a coach, he’s a man motivator. We need a quality manager who has the whole package.

    Takes a bit of responsibly in that one, but defends Brown too much.
    brown should have closed it down for the first goal, no other way around it, but he is refusing to slate him here.
    But for the second he is throwing the defender under the bus. Bad from Lennon that, got to be consistent if you are going to blame the players - which he can a little, but he needs to take full blame for not fixing it before it happened. We all saw it coming long long before it happened.

    Easy cop out saying Klimala is a project and Ajeti isn’t fit.

    I don’t care if he’s raw, he’s a better striker than Ryan Christie.

    There was plenty of fans to call him out on his mistakes last season and it didn't make a jot of difference. He's stubborn, tactically poor and doesn't learn from his mistakes. Tonight was another in a growing list of horror shows since he has been back.

    Farcical and totally embarrassing, tired of listening to him now, never learns and keeps repeating the same mistakes.

    It's s timing, mate. None of these are bedded in. We gamble this way every year and regardless of the manager. It's happened before. The common factor is not Lenny, is it now?

    We all struggle with mental health issues to varying degrees. It is high time that he accepted responsibility for his actions.

    Klimala is 6 months younger than ajeti. If he wasn't ready for that game tonight he never will be.

    I wasn’t surprised when I seen HIS team selection and the lack of any changes made. If Klimala can’t get a start and a midfielder starts ahead of him, we are *. You honestly can’t say Lennon is faultless here.

    Either Klimala or Ajeti should have been put on when we were pounding their defence. If neither could manage 30 mins tonight then something is wrong. Butter it up any way we like, but Lennon was tactically * tonight.
