Ach again not too disappointed, we got our hopes up again too soon. All we can hope for now is 3rd place. I'd have taken that before a ball was kicked.
Ajax are ****e dev ...a draw was the minimum but they passed Celtic off the park...
 
Agree pud , after 20 mins the whole shape of the team was obviously wrong , players didn't look interested , Lustig was our best players , six or seven had a good fight to be the worst player but Sammy beat Commons snd Forrest by a short head
totally Harry...in at half time n get shape n personnel changed. Sammy was **** n once booked worse than a man short. Pukki should gave been on at half time.

I'm not disappointed as such. I had no expectations - our team isn't great and that has been apparent all season.

A draw was the minimum we wanted, i'm no different I wanted it too but i'm trying to be realistic and not get my hopes up too much. We've lost badly in the past to far worse than Ajax and although i'm disappointed, I can see an improvement season upon season.

Agreed, that's why I was so surprised that fans on phone ins and the like have made us favourites to beat Ajax. I don't see it. I predicted 4 points and we are on target <laugh>
 
beat milan at parkhead, barca beat ajax, we are second going into the last game against barca under 19s

how exactly is 3rd the best we can hope for?

this group was so bad, as I said at the start, if we got that result in Milan we were nailed on for 2nd, I didnt expect a result in holland, but I expected to beat Milan and Ajax at home.

Still got as good a chance as anyone if we beat this woeful Milan team
 
BTW - The Ajax goal was a thing of beauty - genuine quality in a match that was poor throughout.
 
I blame the roof, indoor football not for Celtic, get back to freezing wind and pishing rain in Dingwall on Saturday and everything will be rosie again
 
Ajax were poor at Parkhead, Celtic were poor at Ajax, Ajax got a draw against Milan! You lads need to better that!

WHY were commons,stokes,forrest, sammy left on for SOOOO long? Admittedly only 3 subs allowed! Bosicknote wasted sub, Balde and Pukki shouldve been on earlier! But hey 24 defeats out of 26 games is NOT that bad really! <erm>
 
commons, stokes, forrest sammy all woeful tonight. Chico was way out of his depth.

It bemused me that everything we tried to do was down the left hand side. commons looked off the pace completely and I guess he was just not fit.

i have to say, as controversial as it may be, I have reached my strachan moment with lennon and would not be too bothered if he went. the football his team is playing is ordinary to say the least. we offer nothing going forward. the reading of the game by vvd and the saves that forster is making are papering over the cracks
 
Might explain Guardiolas comments! They all want to play you as 24 out of 26 away defeats guarantees 3 points! Therefore 30% job done of qualification to last 16 so nothing to do with TGFITW or the "apparent" atmosphere at legodome!
 
For what is worth my take is that I was very happy with our goalie and back four .
I thought Kayal and Mulgrew were also very good , but we had a major problem in
midfield , we needed a third player. I reckon Lennon must have known that too but
as it appears Kayal can only play 70 mins and he was worried about Ledley's fitness
He could only muster two. I think Commons wasn't fit and neither was Sammi .
Many are shouting about not taking off Sammi but it has to be said that no matter
how bad Sammi is playing, he can fool everyone including himself by scoring or doing
something majestic . Forrest contributed nothing but especially Ist half he was starved
of the ball. He was better in second half . Stokes got few chances , hard to say if he was
Ok or not . I can see why Lennon didn't want to make changes around the hour mark as
team was doing ok around then and could easily come up with something . Pukki and
Derek as it turned out did well, maybe they could have done with a further 10 or 15 mins
Or maybe not. Ledley was good for the last 25mins .
Celtic were under pressure by fitness questions Ledley Kayal Sammi Commons Matthews
and Brown and Biton suspended . Our squad is too small.
