Celtic v Hearts, 3pm, Sky Sports

That was a disgraceful goal to give away. McGregor stopped playing & assumed it would be offside. I’m again disappointed by Tierney, he gave the ball away 3 times in a row before they scored. I don’t know what’s going on with him. If his priority is minding himself for the jockos then he can fuck off.

Maeda HAD TO HAD TO score that early chance. There’s been around 5 occasions where Celtic have got driving towards their box, 5 v 5, 4 v 4, 3 v 3 or whatever & have messed up each one. Nygren’s choice & weight of pass in these situations has been appalling.

An early test for Nancy now at half time in terms of sorting them out &/or making subs.

The decision not to keep Murt O’ Neill on for the remainder of the season was a ridiculous one. He’d have hoovered up domestic silverware and had a right crack off the Europa League before departing off into the sunset.

23

Hmmm

Started that very brightly. Two huge chances for Maeda. Moved it quickly and had them all over the place.

Definitely slowed down and got frustrated as it went on. Tounetki needs to release it quicker still. He doesn’t look like he’s adapted his style at all under 3 managers.

Brutal goal to concede. Just stopped. Nothing to do with the manager or style or formation.

24

It’s simply not that simple

25

The underlying DATA was showing the new manager bounce was levelling off.

If Celtic can win this game today on xG then @Rocko can fly home happy tonight.

I don’t like to get too involved in the SPL but that was a most erroneous comment from the Footix and it had to be addressed.

27

Engels is fucking brutal.

28

McCowan for Tounekti.

29

0-2. OisĂ­n McEntee header from a corner.

30

One of those ones where Shankland was offside & Schmeichel knocked his effort behind for a corner, which they scored from. Would have been better off letting the shot in & waiting for VAR to rule it out.

31

That’s a very good header in fairness, but this ain’t good, ain’t good at all.

Martin O’Neill would want to be keeping February free.

32

Who’s this guesser Celtic got playing battleships on the sideline :grinning:

He won’t last three months.

33

This has been pretty desperate

34

Unfortunately there’s a lot of meme potential in this debut.

Nancy playing with his tactics board all second half & Tisdale seemingly asleep when the camera panned onto him in the stand.

A spoofer MLS manager. Robbie Keane should have been the call.

36

I expect Heart Of Midlothian to score again and win 0-3 because narratives tend to win out in situations like this.

37

Evan Ferguson would transform that attack and he would benefit from the move.

38

Celtic appear to have made a serious error in not continuing with Martin O’Neill.

This new fella appears to be a complete telpis.

Some of the execution of basic passes has been embarrassingly bad. Nygren, Hatate, Engels & Tierney in particular. They’ve been horrendously sloppy in possession & it’s unravelled as it’s gone on. It’s small margins because Maeda should obviously have slotted that early chance & there could be a whole different narrative. Celtic were pretty decent at 0-0. But it doesn’t take much for things to be pounced on in Glasgow & this second half display, the fiddling with the tactics board, Tisdale asleep…none of it is good.

Tierney’s attempt at a pass a minute ago there, I’d have done better meself.
