Toothless display with the only bright spot the continuing development of Tierney who was our best player. He looks like a future Captain and it can't be bad having Danny McGrain showing you how to play full back. Very excited about his future.
We're out of Europe now barring a miracle, next game no Johanssen (Maybe a good thing) or Bitton. May as well prepare for next season.
Who do you replace Ronny with? Unless the board want to invest in the squad then it's moneyball and how many other decent managers are willing to do that? We've replaced an excellent pairing of Virgil and Denayer with soggy weetabix
ronnie is getting shown up in europe. utter ****ing embarrassment defensively an utter ****ing shambles again. going forward we had no idea how to break down two banks of 4 - the only time was when the thumb blew that chance. if ronnie goes the board just replace him with someone of his ilk - ie cheap and unknown. what the **** has happened to gordon? looks a totally different keeper from last year
My fear is we get a further showing up against Ajax n fernabache I know Celtic have had an unsettled back 4 but I blame Delia for that as much as the board. He doesn't ever have a plan b , he just drops folk into positions and hope it works . Joe Hansen should have been dropped weeks ago ... I'd rather see mcgregor play! Get Henderson back or get Allan in. Two games against molde exposed him as a ****e man manager ... One player over two games should effort and a will to push himself ! Thank **** we have a positive in tierney. The rest went through the motions . Imagine paying to go to that ! Truely pathetic !
Get him to ****. Celtic managers are judged on how they do in Europe not Scotland, where they're competing against teams with a budget smaller than Aldo's wife's housekeeping money. His record in Europe has been abysmal. Most Celtic managers of late have had a difficult first season in Europe but have corrected their errors by the second one. Deila? There's been absolutely no improvement on last season and, in fact, you could argue we're even worse. No doubt we'll pump whichever crock of SPFL ****e we're playing at the weekend and everything will be rosy again but a trained monkey could win the title at Celtic. Neil Lennon did well in Europe, including beating Barca, and where did it land him? The Bolton manager's job. If Deila carries on like this he'll be lucky to get a job in the Ryman Mickey Mouse league.
Lennon got pumped 6 one off barca and was told he'd not be getting any more money to improve A manager we brought through from our coaching staff left us for Bolton We have this belief that the Celtic job is too big for some managers. We are deluding ourselves Teams that can't compete with the mega riches of the big leagues look to have concentrated on developing their own talent and reducing their expectations We have only just realised that we can't buy success in Europe, the rest is yet to come I've heard people say they'd prefer John Hughes in charge...they might be joking but we are one appointment away from that scenario with a return to spending cash on overpriced premiership journeymen Europa League is of no interest to Celtic because the benefits are outweighed by the costs If Delia stays I can see us putting out a great wee team in five years but it'll be a,long murderous watch until we get there and there is no guarantee of success but there is a guarantee of affordability Balance Sheet Trophy will always be our priority Am done
Optimism, stories from the youth team, playing Tierney in big games Young Defenders being unable to attack a ball in their first real season don't make fret too much...
So, optimism, a few decent performances from one young player and a few anecdotes from kids. please log in to view this image
I remember not winning a trophy for six years, finishing behind Motherwell in the league...real crisis We have a chance, and the time to see it through to attempt to build a dynasty I want to see this and I'm happy to lose games if we benefit overall in the future The death of Rangers has given us, and other clubs in Scotland an opportunity to try this the only difference is we are better funded and have a manager who has a plan for it Really hope he can do it
As the stories went before his first game, youth players who shine will get to train with first team and will get a chance on merit Voilà
