Post Match Analysis ,Ross County v Celtic.

Good Question

Had this question been asked to me in the 07/08 season i would have said yes absoloutley.

Based on current form, no. Probably because he isn't better than what we have currently. I am sure though, he would be a consideration of most EPL teams that are looking for a wideman.

 

Mowbray is long gone.. He wasn't to blame for today.. We need better players , team players.. Doesn't matter a * if they are from third world countries , or as you suggest Scottish , we just need players who have the desire to play football for 90 minutes and will stand up and be counted when things aren't going their way..

 

Aye I'm thinking if he gives the ball away against some of the quicker prem full backs, you could be a man down as he'll be jogging back while the likes of Evra or Cliche are attacking.

 

I paid £20 to sit in that dump of a stadium and had to put up with that truly awful performance for 90 minutes solid.

What an absolute joke that was.

 

We had the Scottish players who knew what it meant to play in the hoops only 5 months ago!!!!

 

Defo mate. doesnt matter where there from aslong as there willing to work for the cash signing "ppl from uk cos they know whats expected" is far from true the majority of ppl look at scottish football as a joke and when they come here to play thats exactly how they play. there isnt a single player im the team we have i would keep. we need to stop this nonsense signing youth players and players for the future and get some good experienced players back into the team who can position themselves well and pass the ball simple as.

 

No chance hes had his opportunity, when u saw the TV pictures with Lennon And John Parks discussing what to do they both looked clueless. Its time for a manager who has the experience and expertise to motivate the players and to make tactical substitutions. I would like to know what Lenny said to them at half time cause it never worked, that in my opinion was the worst result & performance ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Spoke to my brother at half time and he asked me who was on top..

My reply was Ross County , not on chances created or because they had worked our goalkeeper to any extent but purely on the basis that nothing of note had happenned , and when we were in posession we punted the ball straight out of play 4 times to Ross County doing it 3 times...
It's a sad day when Im using that analogy to sum up 45 minutes of football..

 

and who got rid of them? mowbray. does anybody honestly believe caldwell, mcmanus,robson and i know he wasnt scottish but scott mcdonald would have lay down and put in a performance as disgraceful as that?

 

First of all, credit where credit is due - Ross Co. deserved that. They came out of the gates quicker, they finished stronger and in between they out hustled us, out muscled us, were first to just about every 50/50 ball. Their forwards never alloiwed our FBs to push up the park, taking away one of our attacking assets and never gave our backline a minute's peace. They made international footballers, Brown and N'Guermo look dead ordinary in the middle of the park, and they scored 2 exceptional goals, That was no fluke result. Ross Co. deserved to win. No question.

Now, lets look at our bhoys. That was bad. Strike that - that was abysmal. Thompson looked completely out of his depth there, maybe it was the occasion that got to him but he was poor. Sammy and Fortune also were absolutely pathetic. The rare occasion when the midfield had the ball, seemed just about every time Crosas looked for movement ahead of him and all he saw was McGeady, Sammy and Fortune completely static. On the occasions they did get the ball * only knows how many times they gave it away. Keane looked the only one who had movement, but Ross Co. countered this by doubling up on him.

Lenny put the same team out that had won back to back games, but tactically he was repeatedly out thought. He is an honest guy, and I appreciate the candour with which he carried out his post match interview, but that even he would have to admit that he is not immune to deserved criticism. Hopefully he will learn from his mistakes - something TM was not capable of doing.

I can't help but wonder if the type of players that were needed in games like today, the big match players, were the very ones sold in January; the likes of Robson and Skippy. Indeed, people used to have a crack at Skippy when it was believed that he said something along the lines of not being able to play along side Sammy. Question is, who can?

Even when Sammy is in form he is highly unpredictable. When off form he is simply woeful. He has played alongside Skippy, JVOH, Fortune & Keane, and has not been able to strike up a partnership with any one of them. Today he never looked interested. Although N'Guermo was pulled off (he was hardly covering himself in glory either, was he?), I was expecting the hook for Sammy. Utter crap.

Fortune also had a bad afternoon. Ok, lets say it. He was a complete waste of space out there today. It looked like his mind was elsewhere all day... possibly had a few quid on a certain horse race? Whatever it was, he was dreadful. When he was bought in TM told us he wouldn't score much, and so it has proved, but what he was supposed to do - all the running, harassing, holding the ball up etc, there was none. NONE of that in evidence today. Trite.

Can anyone remember the last time that McGeady really stood up and was counted in a big game? Like I mean, ripped a side to shreads when we need him to live up to his hype. He might have a trick or 2 up his sleeve, but what use is it? £10m for him? Your having a laugh.

 

avram grant.

but aye today was * pish, left as soon as the ball came in for the second as it was obvious what was going to happen, worst celtic side i've ever seen anyway.

WE NEED EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

also, best of luck to county in the final they played with their hearts on their sleeve, hope they lift the cup they deserve it.

 

i dont think we should be saying lennon will never make it because just look at the players at his disposal- dirt bought by previous managers ! but i do think he shudov introduced ramussen earlier ! we need a manager who spots good players and leave to him to make a decision on buying players not peter lawwel !

 

i don't care what Lennon has to say it easy to say on the radio, he picked the team,
has been with them all week. the prima Donna's will throw the the toys out the pram and will say its not there fault,
hope they have words with there agent to find them new clubs voluntary like

 

the player were the worst i have seen in celtic shirt

the board should be told with a protest that there to blame to for letting tm let 14 players leave at the new year


we will have to start from scratch for next season and who will want the job

 

I just hope somebody is daft enough to take McGeady at the end of the season he is the most over rated player I have seen

 

on the bright side,if there is one,after the monkeys pumped us 4 0 during dalgleish/barnes era,i made a list of the projected clearout of players i felt wernt fit to wear the jersey.it included petrov mjallby and lubo! what am tryin to say is if the right manager is appointed,some of these * today might one day resemble footballers,needs to be the right man tho

 

Lennon interview

BBC Sport - Celtic squad needs overhaul, says Lennon after cup loss

 

Good on him saying what he did ,he is a fan disgusted like the rest of us ,Major Surgery he said ,he isnt kidding is he.

 

He's honest. He said what every Celtic fan is thinking.

We need major surgery.
