    Johnstone was erratic last season, for me. That includes when Lennon took over. But that is besides the point that I am making because I think Mikey is a talented player. The point I am
    making is what have Lewis Morgan and Mikey Johnstone shown across their Celtic careers to make Sinclair third choice when we have CL qualifiers? This is more directed towards Lewis Morgan by the way.

    They’ve shown that they’ve earned Lenny’s faith in them more than Scott Sinclair has.

    Comparing to a different manager and different regime is daft. He was an utter failure from the time Lenny took over to the end of last season, had pre-season to prove himself and he didn’t.

    I think he just got too relaxed effort wise. First season his movement and drive on the ball was superb, next season it went down a level, season after it went down a level again. He started to just mope about half arsed rarely took players on and his defensive side of the game fell away to *.

    With Forrest, Elyounoussi and Johnston we have 3 guys who do a better attacking job and when we need someone just to be more solid we have Hayes and Morgan who get stuck in and close people down well which probably even Johnston who is the other weakest defensively does better than Sinclair as well. So he's like the 4th best attacking wide player and 6th best defensive.

    Can still do a job but isn't really needed.

    Which was his 1st goal in around 20 games under Lenny I think?

    You mentioned him not proving himself in pre season. He scored in our first competitive game(which is pretty much pre season) gave himself a platform to build on from there. He got 2 more cameos and was bombed out then. So you cant say he didn't prove himself.

    Where does the getting treated badly by the club come from? Is it a actual thing? Or are people just making it up coz he’s not getting a game?

    He’s not in the team because he’s not good enough to be, simples. He’s been rubbish last couple of years, like a man down. Yes I know he still mannaged to score a couple of goals before the stat brigade are out in force.

    There were moments and games where he should've featured tbh. He's shown enough in his time here to be brought on/start against Livi, Hibs, even last night.

    People have short memories, he's a goal scorer and a threat - also has a point to prove. It's poor management from Lennon to not give him his chance, but results speak for themselves as far as he's concerned. It's all irrelevant if we still win without Sinclair.

    Why on earth would it would be daft to bring up the performance of our top goalscorer and assist provider over the last 3 years?

    Second top goalscorer last season but he’s an ‘utter failure’. Such language is very disrespectful.

    For the record, I don’t think we actually had many great performers in the run in last season anyway.

    Under Neil Lennon he was second top goalscorer was he? We didn’t but we had absolutely none great performances from Sinclair under Neil Lennon. If he’s not performed for him, why on earth would he pick him ahead of others?

    And it is disrespectful, I find it disrespectful a player of his ability not giving his all for us and trying to coast through games.
