    Starting with Yang and ralston was asking for trouble.

    Board have played a blinder - regress the team to a level it looks like BR is clueless so they can get rid of his 65k a week.

    He has too much ambition about where Celtic could go if we were speculative.

    I don't see any future where we are playing fast, attacking and exciting football as long as Rodgers is in charge. We should be blowing teams like Dundee away every time but there is no chance of that when slow, plodding build up is how Rodgers sets us up.
    The fact Ange is available makes this the easiest decision any competent board could make, but we don't have a competent board.

    Can’t break down a low block and can’t play through a high press. Looks out of ideas and is so stubborn with player selection.

    Get him gone, we’ll probably stumble to winning the league mainly due to the huns being a mess and diets aren’t that good. The regression is shocking.

    First time I've agreed with Boyd and disagreed with Sutton.

    If we lose to Hearts then you start to worry about the league being genuinely difficult to claw back.

    Im not convinced (yet) that Hearts have enough to go a full season to be champions but it looks like its only going to take a very low tally to win the league this year. If they win next week then you have to start thinking if changing the manager is needed in order to give us the best possible chance of retaining the league. Because we look certain to drop many points under Rodgers this year.

    I think the conversation needs to be had with Rodgers if he wants to be here anymore. Hes probably highly reluctant to be the one to initiate leaving due to the fall out from his first stint but it may quickly reach a point where leaving by mutual consent suits all parties.

    Horrific.

    We start with no intensity in games and only show a bit of it when we go behind. Predictable backwards and sideways pish. There has been a massive drop this season after a good CL campaign where we ran Bayern close.

    At least under Ange we would come out of the traps quickly most of the time.

    This is giving serious Covid season vibes.

    Clubs needs a serious overhaul from top to bottom.

    Some perspective needed here ladies and gents. He is working with at least 2 of the starting front 3 should be nowhere near our team.
    He has asked for pace since he came back and we have none of that, not a bit. This will be a common occurrence with this squad over the course of this season.

    Couldn't fathom his thinking at all today..

    Yang and Ralston on the right, horrendous..

    Engels and Balikwisha shine in last game on the left, leaves on thd bench..

    I know we have limited options on the right, but surely its worth trying Tounekti there.

    Then the subs, Kenny thrown in.. Yamada has never been given a sniff.. kept Tierney on too..

    Scales & CCV did pick the same game to have a shocker tho..

    Badly need AJ and Trusty back..

    He didn't need to select Yang tho.. who's the other?

    In any case a good manager adapts to the players he has..

    Agree with every point you made.

    Will add in why start Ralston when you have Donavan who is far better and offers more offensively.

    Hatate just invisible, gives it away more than what he has it.

    Has to go. Yes he's been dealt a bad hand, but he's not making the best use of it.

    You're the manager Rodgers, manage or * off
