    Offers nothing didn't even run on the 2nd..

    Was tidy and influential in the first, sums him up.

    played really well the first half, seemed to have gassed out early in the second and never recovered, manager has to see this and make the change earlier though surely?

    I’m not a fan of his at all, but I thought he did okay in the first half. Second half was an absolute embarrassment though.

    One thing I’ll say in his defence though is that a decent manager hooks him after 55 minutes or an hour. It’s not his fault Lennon seemingly couldn’t see the blindingly obvious.

    Thought he was very good in the first. Retained possession well, won some free kicks and put in a few tackles.

    No idea what happened in the 2nd though. Looked exhausted and uninterested.

    This is the kind of game he should excel in, using his strength to keep possession, driving with the ball, pinging passes about. That was what their midfield did while he was caught on the ball countless times. He's had a run, would bench him for a few games now, he's played himself out of the starting eleven lately.

    Don’t think I’ve ever disliked a Celtic player but came close a few times, Kenny Miller, Darren Jackson spring to mind. It’s close to dislike with this guy too

    I'm bored with him, not angry, not disappointed.....just bored.

    An imposter.

    He was on his * * 10 minutes into the second half. Missed the first 25 minutes of the game taxiing kids about but let's not forget we're not talking about 1 game in isolation here. So frustrating

    Class first half, completely ran out of steam in the second.

    Should have been off well before he was whipped.

    * complaining when the guy was barely running in the 2nd half. That’s when management step in and make a sub.

    Had a good first half.

    Thought he was the best out our central midfield, then after 55 mins he looked *.

    If I was on the board I'd grt a video and ask NL why he wasn't take off, he couldn't move and kept losing possession.

    He was gassed at 55/60 mins. That begs two questions, one why is he not fit enough to last only 60 mins as a central midfielder? Second why did Lennon leave him on for a further 10 minutes?

    We were getting overrun in central midfield right up to their equaliser and part of that was Ntham losing the ball in midfield with slack passes or getting caught in possession. Thought he was good first half but really poor second half.
