    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.

    Hate to break this to ya but Scottish football is utter *. We dwarf all teams including the huns in terms of spending, wages, effin everything. If we are not winning the league and cup every year something is very very wrong.

    Celtic should be performing in Europe and not getting pumped by Hungarian Romanian and Danish nobodies...

    Celtic fans are the best in the world, you don’t become the best fans in the world without being as passionate as *. Lenny * up last night. I’m one of Lennys biggest fans. I strongly believe he will lead us to the ten but after this season I now believe to make inroads in Europe we need someone with a it more about them tactically. No doubt he’s hurting just as much as the rest of us and it’s at times like these he needs us as supporters to back him more then ever. In Lennon we trust.

    "It was easier than I thought it was going to be. We didn't take our chances and we had plenty of them". — Neil Lennon

    Comments from a manager who didn't play a striker for most of the game.

    If it weren't for europe we wouldn't have players like edouard or jullien, people's fixation with 10iar could set us back years, and evidently it already has.

    Klimala has has a full pre season, came out of lockdown bulked up and looking fit so how the * is he not ready? He has had the same amount of pre season as everyone else just missing the minutes on the park. If eddy is out for longer then can we expect to see that same formation due to the fact that klimala/ajeti haven't gotten the required minutes on the park to be match fit?

    Spot on.

    We don’t have a clear style or patterns of play. It was the same last season.

    We relied/rely on Eddy or Christie coming up with a moment of magic or goal out of nowhere.

    As has been said, Lenny just isn’t a tactician and he never has been. He’s a motivator, which is a big factor in our wins against Barca a years ago and Lazio.

    But put him up against a lesser team, but an organised team, with a savvy manager and he’s in trouble.
