    I'd want him replaced if a manager skilled in defensive aspects of the game were available.

    I get that.

    Would be madness to give up on him so soon, but he is giving me the fear.

    He does have a nasty snakepit of board members to "work with". But extreme focus on attack, refusal to take control of defensive training if Kennedy can't do it, and the absence of a plan B are his faults.

    I'd kill for someone like Ivan Jurić or Igor Tudor right now. We need someone with an Italian approach to the game.

    Where? Genuinely haven’t seen any. Saw one guy say “gtf” but he’s a troll or a hun.

    Absolutely he does. For what it’s worth I like Postecoglou and I like the improvements we’ve made. I just hope we go on a good winning run as soon as possible to give ourselves a chance, because if results like yesterday continue then people really will start to call for him to leave.

    As an Australian, you know that this is rubbish, so it's just plain weird you're repeating this nonsense.

    He had great seasons; he had not-so-great seasons. He's had success and failures. I've no idea why you guys are building him up into a saint — disappointment is the only possible outcome.

    I want Ange to succeed at Celtic. The club is a shambles relative to what it was. But fan (and probably board) expectations remain higher than the reality of the club's situation.

    It may be that this challenge is beyond Ange. He's not a miracle worker; he's just a great coach.

    The fact remains that he has a squad that’s more than good enough to deal with the likes of Livingston.

    He couldn’t do that… and that’s a worry!

    He’s a likeable dude - but so was Ronnie. The goodwill that comes with that will only last for so long.

    Whether he acknowledges it or not, this IS his big chance. Succeed at Celtic and more doors will possibly open. Fail at Celtic? Well, he’d be pretty much * - no one would touch him.

    GET YER DEFENDERS DEFENDING ANGE!

    Ronnie Deila was also assessed as a great coach, but a poor manager, after his time with us. I can only pray that some staff are brought in soon, to fill in the gaps. Ange knows a few limited things in football, but prides himself in those. He needs help.

    Ah, who am I kidding? The board will not help any manager- they throw them like spent condoms.:31:

    @Forza 67 wants him out and Strachan brought in before it gets worse.

    @Sin wants him out because he never wanted him in and Ange hasn’t got a clue.

    That’s two and there were one or two more who kind of back peddled yesterday.

    Thanks. I think that’s over the top. Definitely don’t want Strachan back.

    Unpopular as he might be, he'd be a breath of fresh air. Since Mowbray, we've had only possession-oriented, high-press fanatics as managers, unless Lennon's first stint is counted.

    Caveat 2= he would have had to play left wing. Him instead of Jota yesterday, and we win.

    If it wasn't for the automatic CL qualification I would be able to treat this season as a transition period and forgive poor results like yesterday as long as we improved further down the line.

    But the fact that there is 30-odd million waiting for whoever wins the league this year and the huns are counting on that money means we need to win the title this season at all costs.

    I'm not even bothered about us getting the money, as we won't spend it anyway. We just need to make sure the scum don't get it as that would give them the platform to rebuild and stay on top of us for years.

    Yet are still only 4 points behind and one of the defeats was a classic 6 pointer to our rivals.

    This season is going to be a completely different ball game from last for umpteen reasons.
