The inquest begins...

No I'm not * off, I think people are very naiive if they really thought we would win today.

It was a derby, but we were away from home so didn't expect much. If this happens at home then we should have reason to panic.

 

I'm speechless.

I'm * suicidal after today.

 

Didn't Ledley get injured against Athletico ? because i thought he got took off because he was injured against them

 

So you don't think it was realistic to think we could have won today? We have proven before that we can beat them convincingly under Lennon. The problem today was he changed his game plan, from the one that won him games against them before (2-0 in January, 3-0 in February, 1-0 in March).

His team selection is to blame. Loovens proved yet again that he is a liability, as every time he plays, we * up. Take the hint Lennon, please.

 

at 2-1 it was working perfectly

No it wasn't. It was papering over the cracks - primarily due to *'s * up.

 

No we didn't stand a chance today, unless rangers were really poor.

We can't single anyone out, they were just the better team.

 

I`d love to agree with you mate . but to be honest I think we wre a tad lucky to be going in at 2-1 up -
The second half was Lennons chance to improve things and unfortunately he did * all ! Sorry but dont think i`ve ever been such a negative poster but today set a marker which I hope is not indicative of the season to come. My message to Lenny is pick your strongest team and STICK with it !

 

Couldnt have put that better myself !!

 

Loovens and Maj please leave this great club - now !

 

Maj? He didnt even play lol yet he still has haters

 

So you think they have the more talented team out of the two sides? Bollocks. If we had played a full strength team today (the team that played last weekend), we would have won, or at least got a draw. Simples. They played the strongest side they could have possibly played, whilst we left out key players like Ledley and Forrest and kept Loovens in at centre back.

 

No we have the most talented squad but they work better as a unit, as a team.

No matter what team we put out we would have lost today, we didn't seem up for it whereas Rangers did. If we had left out Brown and Ki and lost, people would have said the same! There's no winning.

 

Hindsight is 20/20 mate. I highly doubt you went into the game with this mindset, or else you wouldn't have bothered watching it, knowing we were going to get our arses handed to us on a plate.

I stand by what I said; if we had played the team that beat Motherwell so convincingly last weekend (which included Ledley and Forrest by the way and not Loovens or Samaras), then we would have got a result.

 

If Lennon loses the next Old Firm or, indeed, a few games in between now and then, he can go.

 

Again you don't know that for a fact. I personally dont think they would have changed the game much.

I didn't think we would get our arses handed to us like we did, I was expecting at the very most a draw.

 

you sum up everything perfectly

 

I don't know it for a fact, as it is very hard to predict anything for certain in football. But I strongly believe we would have performed better if we had kept the team from Motherwell last weekend and went out and showed no fear against them today, playing our usual free flowing, attacking football.

The lineup today was far too defensive minded. It was like we were scared of them and was extremely disheartening to watch. I fear that if Lenny doesn't learn his lesson from today by then next Old Firm encounter, we may be waving him goodbye.

 

Lennon tried the Mulgrew thing wide left as it worked in the 0-2 game at Mordor in January. It didn't work today and he should have been at CB.

He done the same with Sammy with the same results and scenario. Sammy plays well in aforementioned game at Mordor; Lennon tries it again when Sammy missed the penalty in that game last time.

The *'s not learning!

 

I think Lenny is taking too much blame from today. I agree he should have stuck to the team from last week, but we were the better team in the first half, we just needed to continue to press in the second half, which we didn't do. I assumed that Lenny had told his players at half time to sit tight and protect the lead, allowing rangers to come onto us, but his full time comments suggest that wasn't the case. If so then he can't really be blamed, the players just didn't show up second half. Much as I don't rate Loovens, he's done ok recently, and neither Wilson, Wilson or El Kaddouri had done anything to deserve being dropped today. Lenny wasn't to know they would crash and burn. I agree Ledley shouldn't've been dropped, and as I said we should have stuck with the team that beat Motherwell, but the changes were working in the first half. The huns just pressed us too much in the second and our defence fell apart.
