    Why have Boli completely surplus but then when we're needing a goal, have him come on and no one like Connell even added to the bench?

    Bizarre..

    Yet again to late before he looks to change it. Someone needs to ask him * he was thinking putting Boli on

    Criminal. Why no even stick McGregor there and put Dembele in the hole or that to go attacking late on..

    For me Lennon has to carry most of the can for that today.

    Julien's moment of idiocy cost us the goal but the complete reluctance to change the game when we were creating nothing was infuriating. From a long way before the final whistle it felt ominous, we've seen this movie before and yet there was no urgency from the management to change it.

    The camera panned over at 65 mins and he was sitting with his hands in his pockets, murmuring away to Kennedy.

    He needs to go into Lawwell's office tomorrow morning and demand urgent movement on transfer targets. We need some competition to freshen the place up and strengthen that defence.

    The fans have done their part: refunds in the main refused, books for this season sold out, strips flying off the shelf...it's time we were given a little back.

    A massive wake up call for everyone at the club today. If we don't heed it then complacency will cost us the 10.

    Sat there on the hour mark arms folded, both he and JK looked totally clueless, a real lack of any quick thinking on how to change things.

    I hate to agree but that is true. They looked so confused all the time.

    Aye it was worrying. No clue or any ideas how to break down a poor Killie side on game two of the season.

    Got it wrong today, badly, saying that he cant be fully blamed for the pathetic display theres only so much he can do when your players are passing it backwards in your own half when the nearest opposition player is 20 yard away.

    Hopefully he's brushed cobwebs off and we go forward from here starting on Wednesday night.

    That 4-2-3-1 only works when Christie is on fire. All he did today was give the ball away.

    N'tcham for Brown baffled me. That was never going to affect the outcome. It was patently obvious we needed one of two things. A target man to punt the ball up to, which we didn't have, or someone willing to get the ball and drive at their back line, which we did have but just didn't use.

    Looks lost in that situation.

    All well and good when you’re battering teams.

    Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "We knew it would be a tough place to come. So we have to take the point and move on - it's not the end of the world. There were aspects to our game we could do better - particularly second half we had all the ball but just lacked finishing touch, our final ball."

    You get days like that..

    For me he should have changed it at HT, but too many players weren't at it today, very poor.

    Forrest and Elyonoussi particularly disappointing.

    A day best forgotten, but we move on.

    You can't blame him for starting the 10 + Barkas and the formation that was so dynamic in the first week.

    However, he should have changed it at HT and should have realised how easy 4-2-3-1 can be nullified when teams sit in and narrow the pitch especially on such a slow surface..

    Has to be 3-5-2 v the likes of Killie or Livi or even a diamond as there's no space on the flanks.
