The prestigious UEFA cup ( europa league) 20/21

Has Duffy slowed even further in the last year ?? He was never Carl Lewis but he looks totally immobile and cumbersome .

He has to go now? Surely?

Hopefully

Lemon and Spock have ruined him

We canā€™t press the ball at all ourselves. Edouard wonā€™t press. Christie is all over the place defensively when he plays higher up. Rogic doesnā€™t have the energy to do it. Forrest and Christie are the only guys who can do it effectively.

And as you say when someone presses us we canā€™t cope at all. Our midfielders just get overwhelmed. We fall into those simple traps of forcing the ball back to our keeper or to the likes of Duffy.

Many more problems too obviously. But you have to be able to deal with a press these days and you need to be able to put one together.

3 consecutive home defeats for the first time in 30 years.

ā€œOne of the most gutless displays Iā€™ve ever seen from a Celtic teamā€ - Chris Sutton.

Has @Rocko pinned it on Rogic yet?

Nevermind. Iā€™ve seen he has.

He always played level enough with the box or as a deep lying defender so hard to tell. Where he got done was in the vicinity of where youā€™d usually find someone like Glenn Whelan if they were playing together with Ireland. I mean he is only 28 and hasnā€™t had too many injuries. Maybe a hamstring/calf one last season.

The pitch was too big according to Kerr

He did well for the goal but was poor otherwise really after a bright start. Just like everyone else.

But when you have 9 or 10 players playing badly you have to say thereā€™s not much the manager can do about that.

So the manager is blameless?

Hilarious.

Think I said this before but Gary Breen has been scathing of him for Ireland in the last few years. Blames all the pedestrian football on him and says we canā€™t even begin to defend well with Duffy being afraid to step forward. Now Gary Breen is an absolute gobshite but he might be right on this occasion. He now seems like a special teams player thst youā€™d bring on to attack a corner in the last minute. Itā€™s only a few weeks since he played well in Slovakia but that sort of game suits him. If we want to come out and play and hold a reasonable line heā€™ll get exposed it seems

Ah I was only joking to annoy you.

Neil Francis Lennon no longer has my support for the position of manager.

McGregor talking about how disjointed Celtic were. The lack of structure and cohesion is criminal, itā€™s been like that for ages and thatā€™s on Lennon. Heā€™s got to go, heā€™s got to get to fuck.
