    Get him to *.

    We keep hearing pish how he might not be the best tactically but stuff like ‘he gets it’...‘he’ll fire them up’. Consistently this team are utterly clueless with no intensity and no desire never mind simple basic tactics.

    No pressing, no playing out from the back, no pattern of play.

    An embarrassment of a manager that Hibs and Bolton punted.

    Hope his snus is ok.

    It's not just the loss of the 3 points, it's the manner in which we're losing, that mob know they can come to CP and beat us, Lenny has to go before things get even worse.

    Genuinely and I don't say this to be an I told you so post cos plenty felt the same but his time was up months ago. Literally everything he does is questionable be it team selection, tactics, subs, game management and interviews. The players don't trust him and no wonder.

    The most annoying thing today is the huns were not great either and I know an early goal changes it but they hardly peppered our goal today. The team that finished today was more or less the team that should have started.

    Yet again the support can see the blindingly obvious but the manager can't if Jullien is out go 4 at the back but you must play 2 up top but instead he plays a boy and probably the last striker that should have started with a winger in behind.

    Whatever changes they are making behind the scenes, in game or in personnel aren't working.

    It now just looks like we're throwing mud at the wall and hoping some sticks, translating into some success.

    They've got to be honest with themselves and hold their hands up if they don't have the answer.

    The 3-5-1-1 tactics are the worst of all worlds.

    3-5-2 is mainly good because it means you can play 2 strikers.

    I don’t see why he can’t go back to the exact tactics that we were flying with last season. Literally player for player, instruction for instruction. Why does he feel compelled to change it all the time?

    How many times do we need to see a midfield of Brown-Ntcham-McGregor-Elyounoussi struggle to make a single chance?

    Plan A is praying that Christie scores a 25 yarder. Or Eddy skins 3 players and tucks it away. Or Duffy/Jullien header it in from a set piece.

    There’s absolutely no style of play or regular patterns. It’s embarrassing at this level.

    It's not the tactics or formation it's the manager, the players don't even look like they're being coached properly.

    Part of the problem is Lenny saying how well we played etc after recent performances when we stole points.

    We have been slow , no tempo, no urgency and no flair all season.. but he wont admit it

    Team and tactics were all wrong today. Players not motivated.. all of this is down to him

    If he walks I dont think many fans will care. Cant see how he is suddenly going to turn things around so will be interesting to hear what he has to say

    This has to put the we need a Celtic man in charge argument to bed, he’s just managed perhaps the most spineless Celtic performance in an old firm game in history. 0 shots on target I’ve never seen that in my life

    He's not had any fight in him since he came back. I don't know if it was all the * he took in his last stint but something has changed him.

    I'd like to know what Kennedy and Strachan bring to the table.

    Gutted. I just don’t think he has it. As someone said, we have papered over cracks by sneaking wins but on the whole, we have been a hard watch this season. Today, we were pedestrian, no urgency, second to everything. I actually think * Steve Clarke or Jack Ross would have won that game with the players we have. Our squad is by far better than the huns, what we are missing is a clear game plan, a plan B and motivation. So so poor. I can’t remember the last time I watched us fail to have a shot on target.

    It’s already been said he doesn’t work in shape or that. Apparently that’s Kennedy and I’d guess Strachan.

    Three Stooges by the looks of it.

    All good saying he should go, who do you bring in?

    I’ve saw this before. Huns win at Celtic Park. Fans saying we’ve * it. Huns can’t deal with the pressure we romp home.
