    Everyone could see Ntcham had fallen out the game but refused to make a change until after it was 2-2. Then when he does make the changes, he's being bizarre with them. I mean who in the world was calling for Welsh to come in?

    Have
    They spent £30 million euros on a forward. That's the type of competition we were up against tonight. They spent BIG during the recent transfer window.

    His subs and timing of them are genuinely baffling and it is so frustrating

    Aston Villa spent that on a striker as well a couple of months ago.

    Just because you spend a lot of money doesn’t mean you’re a top side.

    And btw, the forward you speak of is yet to score for them.

    So when we get a postive result it's got nothing to do with him, but when negative its all his fault, aye?

    2-2 away is an excellent result against the top seeds in the group who are going really well this season.

    Come on let's have some balance eh lads. :50:

    Money doesn’t make you a top team. They’ve got good players and started the season well but I doubt they keep the pace. They are a feeder club for top teams.

    Mate I get what you’re saying but it’s honestly not good enough. We’re just lowering the bar now for Lennon because we’ve been that bad this season.

    To see the game that badly managed in the second half removes all praise from the management for me. What’s the point in knocking your pan in to go 2-0 up just to throw it away over easy decisions. We played with 10 men the second half for no reason.

    The Celtic manager should be able to manage a football match. This isn’t the first time either. We’re wasting one of our best and most expensive squads on a poor coaching team.

    Would have taken the draw before the game, as would everyone else here.
    Being 2 up though we threw it away.

    I really can't get my head around that Lennon can't see what everyone else does.
    Changes needed to be made sooner again, no idea why he leaves it so late.
    That second half we were camped in our half just inviting them on to us.

    Ntcham should have been off after 5 minutes of the second half!

    We looked better after he made the changes but they just came too late....again.

    I think you have to give him some credit. The way he would be looking at that change (and the way we should be looking at it imo) is that bringing in Welsh helped stop their momentum and us hand on for a draw.

    Sometimes we’re guilty of criticising the manager for making changes that we disagree with, rather than changes that affect the game in a negative sense.

    No, it was a good point against a top team. But going from 2-0 up and playing well in the first half to playing * and blowing a lead in the second to finish the game 2-2, stops it being an excellent result.

    Would've loved a draw before kick off and it may prove to be a good draw in time, but I personally can't help feeling like it could and should've been 3 points not 1.

    You still need to weigh up that we were playing away from home against a team joint top of the Ligue 1 with PSG. You cannot dispute that.

    Hes so * passive during games, it was clear as day changes were needed much earlier. What's the point of waiting till we throw away the lead before acting.

    It's becoming a common theme.. he hasnt a clue what to do mate... It's that simple... maybe because hes sitting in the dugout he cant see it... most of us on the match thread could see we needed the midfield freshened up.. how the * can he not see it... just looks like it was hope to hold out rather than manage it.. so frustrating

    When he refuses to make obvious changes to the team at 2-0 to close out a win, it’s his fault we drop the points.

    I feel bad for the players. They must be * raging at the management for that.

    Dunno if it's just blind optimism from me, but I've slayed Lenny for lineups and subs or lack of but I wasn't putting anything on him tonight then I logged on here and he's getting pummelled. Thought he done well to bring on Soro and Welsh to try and stem the flow of their attacks but can see where the criticism is coming from also.

    Three of our signings making positive impacts too.

    Elyounoussi, Laxalt and Ajeti..

    Should have changed things earlier aye, but his changes did help us see out the game.
