Neil Lennon

Different type of game where we had to press and defend more..

Its crystal clear Forrest is better on the right and Christie is better centrally, I actually prefer him coming from deeper.. Not convinced he's 10 but he's certainly not a RW.

 

Think we should try something like that v Livingston away next Sun they narrow and nullify width very effectively.

 

100% mate. I'd go with that next week and slip ball's through all day..

I prefer him as a box to box 8 as well..

 

Bizarre logic.

Who picked those starting line ups? The very man you're professing can't make game-winning decisions.

It's easy to criticise in hindsight but for me his only blemish since he's came in, is the last 15 mins v Cluj.

Today's starting XI and subs done enough to win that game today. We were cheated.

 

Also was today's starting lineup no the same as last weeks ?

 

And again, Forrest probably had his best performance of the season on the left last weekend. It has it’s uses.

 

Rodgers got things wrong plenty of times, we don’t need to rewrite history to suit the arguments.

 

I don't want to sound like I'm having a dig at Lennon, but I hope someone asks him a question about set pieces. Training sessions are not open to the public, so we don't know what's happening.

 

Different situations mate.

Hayes was brought as a tactical substitute at Ibrox to make us stronger defensively when we were protecting a lead.

We were chasing the win today. Hibs were camped in and we were struggling to carve out clear cut chances. In that scenario I would pick Elyounoussi to come on every day of the week.

 

And I would pick Rogic. Others would Sinclair, others would Bayo...

Which is my point, the squads that strong anything is possible to be criticised.

 

Forrest can play both but hes better on the right. Christie shouldn't be used there domestically imo, we lose so much from his game when he's out wide.

Rotate the CMs and play Elyounoussi on the left or MJ.. Much better balance and attacking threat.

 

If Hayes was coming to replace Bolingoli at LB then fair enough but to consider him a better wide option than Sinclair or Elyounoussi for me is daft. Ntcham is playing well at the moment but we are shoe horning him in to the team at the expense of Christie who is forced wide the manager needs to drop either Broony or Mcgregor for Ntcham if he's going to be in the team

 

Lennon clearly wanted to put a left winger on though and Hayes isn’t the winger you bring on to break down a stubborn defence.

3 goals and 5 assists in his time here and you’ve got Sinclair who’s probably scored and assisted that much in the space of a couple of games at some point in his time here.

Elyounoussi as well who was bought last year for £18m sitting on the bench who is much more creative and a goal threat.

Wrong sub today when chasing a win.

 

Like I said mate, I think it has it’s uses. I much prefer having a flexible team. I thought Christie was good today, and he did score. Him being there wasn’t the issue. Not taking our chances and being denied two stone wallers, whilst conceding a freaky own goal was.

 

He was bought for £16m.

I’m not debating that point, the point is that any decision can be ripped to shreds because of the depth of the squad.

 

He got it wrong today, for me that's clear.

But, what a start we've had to our season.

 

Both him and Sinclair came on and Hayes did a * of a lot more.

 

Seriously mate this means absolutely nothing. He was bought for 18m then punted out. I was impressed with his start at Hamilton and hope he is brilliant for us, however the price tag means * all.

 

Especially when it’s clearly the wrong decision it will be aye.

 

In your opinion mate.

In my opinion, the change you’re championing there is a * option as well. The game was crying out for Tom Rogic for me.

That’s the nature of it. We’ve got that much strength and depth just now people are always going to disagree for another option.
