Kilmarnock vs Celtic, 15/10/2011, 12.30pm

Defence looks so * bad here once again on the highlights .

 

Maj is the only one for me i don't feel comfortable with. I know Mulgrew made a mistake for the goal, but Mulgrew is a very consistent performer. Maj needs to start jumping for headers instead of trying to out muscle players.

 

Agree but we do not defend as a unit. would love to see us being able to defend like Stoke all the defence laying the body on line etc.

Agree would think they would have learned after the Hearts game to attack the ball but nope just stand and watch * thing fly over your head.

 

Better balance to the defence when you have a right-back and left-back. We miss Izzy and Kelvin Wilson a lot.

 

Is a centre back you not mean Mark Wilson ?

 

Could also mean the fact we had Matthews (RB) playing at LB.

 

Reallyshould of won it with 10 mins to go. It was an amzing comeback but we shouldnt have been that far behind. Doubt we will ever see us come from 3-0 down with 20 mins to go and get points again, if only we had won it would defo be a memory

 

It will be a memory because at the end of the season when we win the league we will say, remember that comeback against Kilmarnock that changed our season

 

We are one of a handful of clubs in the world that look at this come back in a negative light. I know we should win these games but come on ffs. Long way to go yet, this might have gave us a big lift.

 

It would have been easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves with 20 minutes to go, 3-0 down, facing a 13 point gap between us and Rangers, knowing they were at home to St Mirren we dug deep and we have to take positives from this weekend, it was a massive chance for Rangers to really hit us where it hurts, they didn't take it, we must punish them for their draw and go on a massive winning run, if we win our next 5 SPL games I can promise you we will be in touching distance of them, it's not impossible.

 

Certainly hope so.

At the very least the team showed some fighting spirit which is commendable, both of the players and the management.

But we really have to start winning games again, doesn't matter if they're ugly 1-0's for a couple weeks, just win celtic.

Sorry I worded it badly - there is a better balance when you have natural full-backs on the side they should be on. The statement about missing Kelvin and Izzy was seperate from that.

 

Why is it that it takes Celtic to be 3 goals down to be that motivated? They should have that mentality from the first minute!
I look at the Kilmarnock game as a lesson to the players: that determination translates into goals. Unfortunately a lesson that cost Celtic 2 points.
The defense was an absolute shambles for the most of the game. It's laughable, really.

 

A suppose:icon_mrgreen:

 

And who would the manager be ?

It can't be NL surely ?

 

it reminded me of a comeback in the strachan comeback the never say die attitude

 

Lenny didnt look interested and looked lik he gave up with 20 mins to go. Only when stokes scored he became interested now he is taking all the plaudits with his "HT Team Talk That Saved His Job" No stokes and Forrest saved your job any manager would be mental at HT.

 

i retract my statement :icon_mrgreen:

funny how things change in only a few months
