Neil Lennon

Hayes actually did really well imo. Direct, attached their right back and won us a few corners.

Sinclair looked dangerous too.

 

Got it wrong today, but its hard to criticise his start, domestically..

 

Incredible to take off Edouard and Forrest at one each..

Honestly and just going one up. Whilst Elyounoussi and forgot Rogic was on the bench. Leaving his self open to getting it..

 

For me it’s subs again, he’s rarely got them right.

 

His subs were poor today imo, bringing off Edouard and Forrest when we're drawing and wanting to win late on is silly, could understand Ntcham as he was on a booking but losing him we lost a lot of fluidity.

 

Our 3rd choice left back for ntcham to change the game is absolute banter stuff.

Eddy off when we need a goal. Jesus *.

 

Lenny is clearly getting a lot of things right at the club ....

but it’s his game management and especially substitutions and the timing of them that is still a weak and questionable area...

He’s got to examine his own decisions in games like today’s and adapt..

What are Kennedy and Duff doing? Is Lenny ignoring them or are they unable to offer advice/ideas?

I hate to compare... but today’s game is the sort that Fraudgers would have won through clever game tactics and potent well timed substitutions.

we are not getting that extra edge from Lenny.

 

I thought Hayes and Bayo were a logical sub pair, but Odsonne should have stayed on. McGregor would've been my pick to get subbed.

 

Of course he did mate, however too many on here had already decided it was a bad substitution no matter what Hayes did in the game.

 

Eddy and Forrest had done next to nothing for the whole game, they were justifiable substitutions.

 

Subs werent great in terms of what we needed in the game and its not first time, however we'v started very well domestically and in Europa and much of that is down to Lenny, hopefully he improves on the subs part and carrys on the good work domestically, we are always going to play * and drop points in some games today was one of those days.

 

Aye cause Rodgers always found a way to win at Easter Rd.

 

At this point last season Rodger's Celtic had already lost to Hearts and Kille and drew at St Mirren. So no that is bollocks tbf.

 

He was generally up against a far more cohesive Hibs side.

the current one is not a patch on previous 2 seasons.

 

Came here for a wee giggle at the knee * reaction from the anti Lennon brigade.... not dissapointed.

The snakes record against hibs was abysmall. Dropped two points this season... away and check this stage last year.

 

NL: I thought we dominated the game. We looked a little bit flat in the final third on occasion and our finishing let us down

NL: "We lacked that little bit of quality in the final third. The last 20 minutes we dominated and we should have scored with the chances we created


NL: "It was a good performance and we’ve made a tremendous start to the season. While I’m not here to criticise referees, we should have had two clear cut penalties.

NL: "I’m not frustrated. We’re not going to win every game. We’re not going to blow teams away in every game. There’s an expectation but I don’t always expect us to win. I believe we can and I want us to win

NL: "We’ll see how Moritz is. Funnily enough on the penalty incident he hurt his ankle which doesn’t surprise me. The rest of them are fine.

 

lenny has had a fantastic start to the season - of course ... and last seasons was terrible.

but I’m talking about the ability to make game changing decisions at the right time...
(Not necessarily comparing where we are comparing season starts)

Rodgers had/has it..

lenny still has work to do .

 

The team he put out today did enough to win that game.

It wasn't vintage stuff but we were robbed by a lickspittle.

 

Lennon has shown twice this season he’s been unable to make game winning decisions, however the team on the park were awful in the final third.
