    I must confess I did not watch the game last night. I expected a frustrating draw at best, and since poor results keep my brain stuck and unable to shut down for sleep, I only looked at the score report here and there.

    It's obvious though, that Turnbull took his chance with both hands and all teeth. We had the mental strength to not crumble after Lille levelled the score in the second half. That is a new thing for us, this season.

    Find a copy online and watch it! It was a great game even for a neutral. As a Celtic fan, you're really going to enjoy it. Definitely worth it!

    I agree with you, totally regarding Eddy and Ntcham; but is Christie really more talented than Turnbull? I'm not sure, mate.

    I actually hate that Duffy now he needs to * off back down to England, the amount of mistakes this guy makes is shocking, even basic defending he fails spectacularly, that header last nigh that he misses and hit his arm is something I'd expect at a under 5s game and somthing iv became use to with him it's a joke that this * is anywhere near our club never mind a starter, and then hes punching the ground and * when we conced doing it for effect, *,
    Thought soro and Turnbull were outstanding last night soros positioning, bite and passing was a joy to watch and somthing we have really missed, turnbull well we all saw last night how good this guy is, both are starters going forward, expect broony to start on sunday with Turnbull coming in for rogic and back to playing side to side football

    I loved Soro and Turnbull and I thought Laxalt, Frim and a few others did a really good job too. There was so much energy and drive on that field last night and it was echoes of a good Celtic team all willing to work for one and other with skill and agression. I'm not convinced by Klimala or Ajeti. What the * has gone wrong with Griff? I get the feeling Lennon wouldn't ever play him again if he had ANY other choices even if it cut his nose off to spite his face. Calmac needa to take a rest whether he wants to or not. A fully fit Calmac is a joy to behold. Broony needs to be managed better. Similarly with Rogic who imo is a luxury player at times. Christie need to wise up that he's part of a team. Get shot of the French pretenders. I will be glad to see Jamsie back.

    I think that a good settled midfield and forward line could take us far but defensively we still have a few wrinkles to iron out. I honestly don't know if Duffy is a player or not but if this is all he has we need to be getting to the bottom of whose idea it was to sign him! He's coming across as very poor and almost as bad as scheidt signed by KD. Ajer helped with that goal and at times is exciting when he strides forward with the ball. My main gripe is he's one footed and with him it's obvious. Sometimes he looks like he's disengaged his brain. Julien is a big woose but when he's on his game he's good for a goal and at least he looks like he enjoys playing for us.

    I was raging at Ajeti, came on for 8mins and just shadowed a position he should have chased everything like klimala done for most of the game, it's not like he needed to pace himself, aye the midfield was more dynamic always looking forward I think soro was the main reason for that every ball was a forward pass made the tackle and released it straight away very impressed with him last night Turnbull looked like Christie's earlier celtic career, we all knew how good he is just great to see him perform so well needs more game time and I'd have him in front of rogic defence is still a mess and I have Walsh and ajer with Elhamed and laxy running the flanks frimpong although decent defensively last night just isnt good enough in that position overall, striker is an issue still for me with edd playing so poor klimala not scoring Ajeti looking not interested and griff * knows what's happened to him we are weak up top, was good to see that we have a team there just needs beter management imo

    The young boys are gonna carry us to the 10. First win of many more to come. Changing of the old guard always takes an inspirational moment. That was it. HERE WE GO!!!!

    I wish I had your confidence mate, but with lennon still there I'm expecting us to go back to the old guard and dropping points

    Frimpong just needs coaching and bulking up. He's too easily nudged off the ball and is a headless chicken at times. He shows a lot of prospect though. He can run all day and isn't afraid to get into a tackle. Gets himself back up and carries on. He just needs what I said above. I don't think that it would be too hard to coach him into playing better.

    This is the thing players need coaching! Is the job too big for this management team? Too many personalities, different skillsets all needing developed. When you stand on the outside looking in you realize that it really is a huge job and a management team needs to be up to it. Question is would it have been any different if Lenny had his own backroom team?

    Pound to a penny PL will sack Lenny and promote Kennedy et, al rinse, repeat and we all go around again.

    100% you can see he has ability to spare still young and is his first full season as a starter but he does have a bit to go positional and defence is a major flaw still, i think he does ok to ride the challenges but yeah I'd like him to bulk up a bit you see the difference in klimalas frame no reason why frimpong cant do the same,

    Well that's the thing is the current set up going to improve these guys I personally see a regression in most of the team something still isnt right, I think last night showed that more any other game this season like I said before there is a team there just not being guided correctly,

    Frimpong is being overused as our everything down the right side, he more than anyone, is probably missing Forrest the most.

    When Frimpong is has an out to a guy like Forrest he's far more effective, he's deceptive as well because when on form and not overused he's definitely got a fighting spirit in him and decent at holding the ball despite his stature.

    His debut against sevco should be evident of that within him, plenty of times there was two players trying to get at him and he'd fight and wrestle out of it and break away from them.

    Ffs this place is worse than a morgue. That game with fans would have been * bouncing. Youd think we lost again. Negative Nancy's are out in force keeping the spirit of belief down this christmas.

    Well I'm putting it out there. We will win the 10 now. Quote me and come suck me off for being right again in the summer.

    Can we all agree that Ajeti is absolutely *. Between him and barkas we spent 10mil ffs. Lad can’t run to save himself and he dives all over the place like a little girl. Two of them should get to * in January. Soro and turnbull were absolutely Magnificat. I love brown but he should be nowhere near the team with these two. Henderson showed some great control and composure too he’ll be taking calmac spot if he doesn’t cop on to himself

    Nope we can not agree. Play him with 2 up top and he will score barrels. The other striker can do the pressing while he proudly prouls around like a peacock scoring for fun.

    So you would start him in your starting 11 Sunday? I think that would be mental. He can finish ok but offer * all else
