    That couldn’t be any further from the truth, Lennon * that game before the team hit the pitch. Blaming players for results is one thing, but clueless tactics and quite honestly the most bizarre starting line up since Leveins 4-6 formation for Scotland is another. Lennon become lax, his tactics were pathetic, he totally underestimated the game in hand and showed zero respect for the opposition. Lennon foots the blame of this one and Lennon only.

    Won’t be popular for saying this but if there was a season for going out of this as early as we have then this season was the one to do so, European nights with no fans is a painful watch irrespective of what dished up by the team, the doom brigade want us to believe it’s going to be like this for most of this season, even if they are wrong the full crowds won’t be back until the groups are over in any case.

    Just get this 10 done and I will take that thank you very much

    They are JKs players too. Would sound daft saying "Kennedy out urging Lennon's players forward"

    Nothing in that at all.

    Again that's living off the Lazio result.. one team we managed a comeback against.

    Cluj, Copenhagen, last night and the hun league cup final which we somehow managed to win again with no help from Lennons formation or team selection are all far more evident of his managerial skills than the Lazio game.

    Last night was the worst.. they were absolute * and he didnt change a thing untill it was too late.. absolute shitshow from him and in my book unforgivable

    I think he showed them too much respect by not playing Klimala because he "isn't ready". He'd have dragged them all over the pitch, he's direct and very quick from the little we've seen of him. What a Shambles again.

    The most worrying thing for me is the lack of shape, lack of organisation, lack of any type of style of play.

    It’s all just passing between centre backs get it wide then hopelessly play a ball into the box. We have little cutting edge through the middle, no sly reverse balls, no one running from outside to in and a dinked ball over the top of the defence. There is just no discernible style or variation in our play.

    This then begs the question, what the * do we do in training? Who researches our opponents who sets us up to play into our opponents weaknesses, * do we even know what our opponents weaknesses are do our players even get briefed on the opponents strengths/weaknesses.

    The whole setup seems amateurish. Lennon is clueless tactically and this can be seen by being out manoeuvred on 3 occasions in 12 months by worse teams.

    * knows what Kennedy brings, we have been soft centred in Europe for as long as he has been around. We just have a back room staff for the most part that are affiliated with Celtic, we need tactically astute managers/assistant managers who are progressive and know how to get more out of a team.

    Well he could have two trebles by the end of the year and playing well in the EL group stages. Like last year you know?

    So not quite living off Lazio results. That would be silly.

    People worried about focusing on 10inArow. "Better out of Europe and focus on league".

    That's got to be the most silliest argument yet. Playing Champions League football is absolutely massive in 1) Keeping players like Edouard and 2.) enticing players like Duffy.

    If Lennon makes bizzare decisons in CL group qualifiers. Decision that cost Celtic. How is he not going to make the same decisions that will cost Celtic just the same in the league?

    And why the * is Klimala not ready? Lennons job is to get our entire squad ready for occasions like this, so if Klimala isnt ready that's on Lennon too.

    The bigger issue for me is when he says “players don’t want to be here” what’s that about!!!!!

    That’s not true though.

    If he starts a striker I don’t doubt that they’d of finished that Christie chance and been in a better position to score for the numerous cut backs and crosses along the box that absolutely nobody was there for.

    If Lenny had started with a striker last night and we still lost the game then for me he would've been exempt from the level of criticism he's now getting, his job as manager is to pick a team that gives us the best chance of gettin a result, he failed to do that.
