[Matchday] Celtic v St. Johnstone (15:00 GMT - 18/02/18) Celtic TV

We've been saying that for months, though.

 

big weekend next week with the zombies playing on the saturday and the gap could be down to 6 points on saturday night so alot of pressure for the sheep game .

 

If today was a rarity off the back of a European night then ok but its not
There has been too many mediocre performances and draws in games which we really should be winning.
It's a dangerous game getting complacent just because your x points clear.
We are showing teams they can come to Celtic park and expect to get something.

 

Tom Boyd is going to get some pelters if we win that game.

 

You’re obsessed with the Huns ya spacker.

 

Not panicking myself personally but too many draws this season unfortunately. Particularly we are below par after Euro Fixtures.

 

Dreadful again happened far too often domestically this season too many changes always leads to a poor performance and as always we really struggle without brown. That being said Rodgers should have an easy decision to make when it comes to the team on Thursday because none of those who came in have played themselves into the starting 11.

 

Doesn't say it all, we were out of Europe.

 

We won a point and not lost two, because Aberdeen lost!
All that counts in the moment is the second leg in russia!

 

Also does my head in how quickly the crowd turned on the team and some players in particular today.

 

Pish again. Maybe this team needs the zombies to get within three points to waken it up a bit.

 

In league terms i am talking about.

 

From the little i seen of the game the ref was a disgrace. So many fouls not given, so many fouls that weren' carded, and just overall a very poor performance.
St Johnstone played the bullying game and got away with murder.

Hope the rest was worth it come Thursday night. But we need to stop being so stagnant going forward and letting teams bully us.

 

At the end of the day, even though we played *, we’ve actually extended our lead in the league.

 

Mate, if he had called all the fouls for both teams, we would just have been saying "It was 0-0 because the Ref destroyed the flow of the game by blowing the whistle every five seconds".

The rest will cause us to reap benefits. Zenit will be much sharper and much better than they were at Paradise on Thursday. It is going to be a different Zenit that turns up. That is why it was essential we rest the lads today - because the same Celtic need to show up.

 

In the grand scheme of things you can accept the result. 0-0 after last Thursday is pretty much par for the course. Limited damage done with a few fringe players getting game time.

What was worrying was the lack of creativity. Eduoard didn't do himself any favours with his poor hold up either.

St Johnstone had zero shots on target and must of had over 20 fouls. Today was really a day for two up front, bit more direct.

 

Not too bothered. It's mainly about Thursday and the Scottish Cup at the moment.

If I thought we were in any serious danger of * up the league then I'd be more gutted, but we're not so on to Thursday and hopefully on to the next round of the Europa League.

We'll pump Aberdeen at Pittodrie in the next league game anyway.

 

Last season doesn't count, it is the same tactics near enough every single game when they have sussed us out in Scotland is what I would certainly call a one trick pony with no plan b and the odd switch to 3 at the back but attack the exact same ie:wingplay.

This point last season we had 27? points advantage in terms of points in the league, and were certainly not only 2 wins better off than 2nd place.

Personally I couldn't give two * about barca or pep, only concern I have is celtic and the performance we put in win lose or draw but Rodgers refusal to even have a plan b is bewildering and the * tactics are hurting the players performace as they are getting doubled and trebled up on which I guess technically means we don't have a team good enough to play his tactics.

some would call it stupidity but I call it insanity repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.

 

What sort of time scales are we looking at for players returning from injuries?
