SPL: St Johnstone vs. Celtic 15/9/12

Another bad display in the league. Its like some of the players think the dark side arent here anymore its not a problem if we drop points.

I have never seen so many faces in our team who looked like they couldnt be bothered. Im a big Mulgrew fan but he was one of these players today.

Its not about panicking but the players need to get their act together for the sake of the fans. Particularly those who are paying into these away games. Not good enough boys!

 

Are you actually trying to justify that *? Nobodys panicking, that was just a complete and utter disgrace.

 

Other than Commons' goal, i wasn't too impressed. He really is a greedy *.

 

* off and stop spouting utter *

 

* poor.

People keep banging on about how the league is a certainty for Celtic - not if we play like that every week. First 10 minutes we were excellent and it all went downhill. The players need to get a * grip of themselves and realise there's hard work involved in winning a league - with or without Rangers. Last week was forgivable seeing as we played a 2nd string side and arguably were unlucky on the 1st half showing but this week we mostly had our best players but outfield only Kris Commons showed up and put in an acceptable performance. The rest were a complete waste of a jersey. Defensively we were a shambles.

St. Johnstone deserved the win. Created better chances, credit where credit's due.

 

maybe this is the reason cp has not been full this season ,players not playing for manager or fans ,no effort ,and passing shocking ,* at the back,nowt up front.

 

Fair play to St Johnstone tbh. They deserved it and we didn't. We gave up, a bit smug, after we scored that early goal. And that sub Hasselbaink was quite literally a game changer. Well done St Johnstone.

 

The good thing is that we have a manager who bleeds Celtic and just happens to be quite short tempered also. He will give them a rollicking like they've never experienced before after that pish today. If they don't learn from this, then it's time to sell them all and start again.

 

Here we go, did you just watch that?

 

Thought Commons had a good first half then he tried to do too much on his own. That shot from 45 yards out for example.

 

Lustig is *, Izaguirre has been * all season, Wanyama was fairly * today, Hooper was *. Mulgrew was * awful today. Pass marks for Miku, Rogne, Forster, Forrest, Brown and Commons.

 

Yeah that was a decent reply to what I'm on about. well thought out.

 

He's got a point mate.

 

Hammer - 100% correct. I posted something similiar earlier

 

yeah! people have over reacted to it, we were absolutely shocking theres no excuse and lennon better have a good talk with the team,

but then again iv always wanted a competitive league! would rather see
Celtic 71 Points
Motherwell 70 Points
Dundee United 70 Points

than Celtic 104 Points
Motherwell 65 points

 

Well that was *. * * * * and more *. Did I mention we were *?
No ideas, no invention. Teams know exactly how we're going to play now and they know how to stop it. Ross County did it and now St Johnstone have done it. We're going into Benfica in the week having lost to the side bottom of the league, who didn't even train this week because most of their squad had a virus. We should never have let Mark Wilson go, I think Lenny made a huge assumption in thinking Lustig would be the right man to back up Matthews, an assumption that so far has been proved hopelessly wrong. I was pleased to see Miku in the line up so I can't criticise Lenny for that, but in hindsight it was the wrong decision. Watt has been playing well, Miku doesn't know Scottish football and it showed. Slightly odd subs, not sure why Brown came off for Lassad when he looked most likely to create something apart from Commons. We have decent defenders, but for some reason they played pish. It's not just today, we saw it against Ross County and Hibs as well, but today was one of the worst defensive performances I have seen from a Celtic side in recent memory. Give me Mick and Heid any day because I don't remember either of them playing as bad as that. Only positive is that Wilson looked decent, good to see after all the criticism he's come in for. Other than that only Brown and Commons come away with pass marks. If we don't buck our ideas up ASAP we may struggle to even win the league.

 

So we're having a bad start to the league, but it's 5 games gone, not 5 to go.
This could prove a kick up the * for Wednesday onwards.
Very disappointing, bad result, but let's not throw in the towel yet. We'll improve.

 

Embarrassment. Izzy needs dropped. Ambrose better be decent because our defence is woeful. Players look like they couldn't give a toss in the league.

 

3 goal come back in the second half at Kilmarnock and hauling back a 15 point gap in the league last year suggests to me otherwise.
