    Exactly, imagine us last season without big Fraser, we’ve been * at the back for ages but we’re only just noticing it

    Lot of bottle merchants in our team , especially the gkeepers/defence , with the exception of laxalt who has at least got a bit of dig in the challenge and who gives 100% , the rest i wouldnt take in a lucky bag... shitebags !!

    There were a few positives, thought Brown played well in the first, Rogic too.

    Edouard and Ajer too. Although will you see them the same on Sunday..

    We have plenty of talent, it's just we are so poor defensively, individually and collectively.

    With a GK, who has had the benefit of the doubt, but looks really pish.

    I'm not defending him but the notion that the goalkeeping is costing us in competitions is a joke. An overwhelming majority of defensive errors are coming from situations that don't require commanding the area or rushing out. So the defence have no excuse to be weary of the keeper in those situations then. Tell me this, if they are so scared of the keeper, why dive in to give away a freekick that they will shoot from? You're peddling a myth that a different keeper makes this team good. The outfield issues are the key problems. Manager is 100% to blame here.

    And reason I say that is we look at the body language from Kennedy and strachan .... I say they look as if they can’t be * who knows if they are bothering with their job if Lennon leaves them To it

    100% he is a lost soul at the back there, he has no confidence in himself any more, nor the players in front.
    He is lacking a lot, but he isn't a howler of a keeper, certainly can see something in him, if he had a better setup in front of him and a manager able to put an arm around a player and help encourage on.

    Guys gonna be sold short and let go before he can make a difference.

    A team that defends like that will always be punished.

    Doesn't matter if it's in the San Siro or Stark's Park.

    We are *!

    Why do we never press high as a team anymore? Eddy demanded we press high for the first goal and it paid off but we don't do it enough. The team is far too scattered and do nothing together

    Groundhog * day, I don't know if it's anger or I've actually given up bcoz the * in our boardroom are happy with the wee lap dog manager and utter imposter's pretending they're Celtic players. I'm 49 and remember the old Celtic board and how they made me feel, I really do believe the * now are desperate for the Huns to win the league bcoz competition is good apparently.

    When you watch good teams defending the wings they have 2 men out defending one for the challenge the other for the scraps, the amount of times we leave acres of space or exposed to 1 man is shocking

    He made more safes but conceded more goals. The situation is as bad as I don't want to even compare them

    Edit: Barkas' play out from behind is still much better, more calm in the distribution and knows when to kick the ball and not to take a risk. Before he got dumped by Lennon he was also better than atm.

    Nah we just bought Greg Taylor who’s worse than a tailors dummy, actually for his sake, quite glad Duffy not been playing cause a lot of people were just blaming him for everything, he’s played * but it goes a lot farther than just Duffy

    the defending on our left was fine every goal tonight was down our right
