    He was at the club for a short term was he not? Then poached by Belgium?

    It was alright as an option and for places like Rugby Park and tight pitches here or there but no every single week..

    It's torture watching this. Especially when we don't really have the personnel for it and look clueless as to what our roles are and how we should be functioning..

    I keep saying it but we severely lack raw pace in our side to get about..

    We need two up top close the distances between mid and attack and have one of the attack pressing on ther defence then have a runner (turnball, mcgregor) running in behind both taylor and kenny need to put in a hard shift to press their wingers back

    These type of performances are becoming tiresome, and increasingly embarrassing & frustrating. It's felt for absolytely ages that we're a team without a plan, without a style of play and it looks like it again today. With the squad of players we have, there's really no excuse for looking so consistently poor. We appear so reliant on individual quality, as opposed to an actual structure.

    Rodgers used to say something about the team having one 'tactical brain', or something like that. It always sounded a bit *, but these team performances are what he would have been trying to avoid. We look like 11 individuals out there, everyone playing their own way, making their own decisions and not following a pattern or anything like that. It's causing moves to break down way too easily.

    The amount of times a midfielder has received a pass with their back to goal and had to take 3 or 4 touches before laying it off is really annoying. It just slows/stops any attacking momentum. I can't recall any situations where someone has played a first time pass to a runner and got St Johnstone turned and running back towards their own goal.

    We're offering nothing.

    Turnbull being wasted in the same team as Christie and rogic, he's the 10 but no Lennon needs to squeeze his mates in and play him out of his best position. He's just gone back to what's not worked all season. This season can't end soon enough for me hoping this imposter gets sacked.

    Can't wait for us to go down to 0 strikers for a bit before we decided on 2 at like 80 min

    Its very obvious that Griffiths and Eddy are our best front two partnership but once again something has gone on behind the scenes with Griff and Neil Lennon is reluctant to start him. Griffiths is a brilliant player and criminally underrated at times even by sections of the Celtic support but its now got the stage where enough is enough. It saddens me to say the best course of action is to move him on at the end of the season and bring in two quality strikers, as Eddy will be off in the summer too. I wouldnt go as far as to say he wasted his talent like his fellow Hibees Derek Rhiordhan and Gary O'Connor but he seems to be cut from the same cloth to a certain extent.

    Pace is what’s needed there is little or no urgency in the play and Christie and turnball are greedy *

    I miss the days of celtic men where the club and team came before ego. When there was hard work and pride. Now we get lenny blaming anyone and anything but his choices and decisions.

    Said that for ages mate. Christie completely stifles Turnbull, they can't both play. Rogic is the same, he wants to take up same spaces Turnbull does.
    Turnbull is completely wasted under Lennon
