I know we were out done but ffs, ya cant win them all. Sometimes players get mentally and physically tired. Esp when youve been so great. Its very difficult to keep that level going consonantly like they did. I wanted a win aswellbut i understand we cant win them all. Weget this break, get few new faces in and go on another run and come may, well all be happy men.

 

Haven't read all posts but this might be the most salient.

 

That was * disgusting. Utterly pathetic display. Raging.

 

Awful game. Awful performance.

That is all.

 

Worst hun side ive seen and we struggled against them . Dembele knows hes off should of been off at half time midfield apart from Broony was terrible . Broony Ajer Gorden only pass marks

 

How does dembelle know hes off. Do you know something we dont?

 

Just like Celtic were the best team to learn progressive football in the 60s I think Moussa should go to a top French team and excite his mind in a culture he understands against top defenders. If he can do that then he'll be first team choice and paid handsomely.

 

While we were * on the day the match stats stat we had more possession,more attempts,more shots on target.
I think we were better the first half after the first 10 mins and they had the better of the 2nd half,it could have went either way
We had 2/3 players who performed on the day they had about 10 who performed.
It finished 0-0 and they are celebrating like they won something and we are all sick as *,sums it up for me.

 

Don't mind if Dembele goes, so overrated by some on here.

 

Even Brendan wouldnt say that he was staying here in his interview the other day apart from that he was * today Griff should of started

 

Never been so disappointed at a home game against those c###s ..the performance was awful especially second half.
Thought the boozer in Edinburgh was tops ...cheers for the heads up guys.

 

If anyone actually cares here's the highlights

 

Disappointing performance and a draw feels like a loss against them considering how much better we are than them.

We're out of form, as a squad and maybe the management decision making is too.
Our whole tempo is down. Possession football is lovely when played right. Like close 5 yard passing or mini triangles with quick movement of the ball. Lately when we are in possession, the options seem to be 15 yards or even more away. Players in possession are getting isolated, the front man especially and move the ball backwards as a result. Gordon gets more passes than we (or he) need every 90 mins.

Gordon made two fabulous saves but his passing at times.... I'm a fan but it's time to bring in new blood I feel.
I'm liking Ajer the more I see him. Brown was excellent. Did Boyata do much wrong? KT is suffering as Sinclair is a bit off I think, he needs to start passing more. Armstrong has great energy but the game developed into something he really couldn't cope with defensively. McGregor decision making all day was abysmal. Forrest an off day too.

One thing I think we need is a bit more steel in there. Outside of Brown and the defence no one else tackles, maybe of all people Dembele. The rest seem to give a bit of a chase and a token effort.

I'd rather a few ready made signings than young long term projects too. Brendan needs to put his mark on this team, only 2 of the starting 11 were his signings.

I'm disappointed but we're still in a much better place overall. Bring on the new year, Europe, new signings, the cup & big games against Aberdeen, Hibs and others.
It's good to be us.

 

I know, i seen it but Brendans playing the game. The smoke and mirrors and other teams will be alerted to that carryon and theyll have to show their hand because theyll be thinkign what your thinking.

 

Hayley McQueen was looking incredibly rough today

 

Dire 2nd half a midfield that never showed up 1st half wasn't great but made a few chances at least definitely one to forget

 

The player we really missed today was Rogic. We really lacked somebody playing into the space in "The Hole"

You are probably right but he just seemed to me his head was somewhere else today

 

Thing is, when a reader of the game plays a ball to you, you automatically know if it's part of a move as you look up with eyes like a 1000fps camera and the next move becomes natural to you, through ball or top corner, you become whole with the universe.
How did Stein and Fallon create 8 forwards against the best defence in the world?
Sean picked the players, Jock picked their positions.
Psychology is almost a secret in the money era but Heynkes got it, Tommy Burns got it and Pep's La Masia got it.
Brendan got it ages ago, that's why he travelled Spain when he suffered a career ending injury. Did he give up? Why did he go to Spain? Was he lucky as * to cross paths with a believer in the beautiful game at Reading?
It might not happen in our lifetime but as long as we have managers dedicated to the theory every positive reaction creates a negative then Celtic players will always be given the chance, like we did City, train us to move the ball forward in our Academy and we'll bring socialism and egalite back to the game and Parkhead will be remembered for creating feedback before Hendrix.
