    I actually like Ange telling him how it is after asking the same questions.

    He obviously needs time but as others have said that celtic squad were more than good enough to beat hearts tonight. Andy halliday in the middle and robbie neilson as manager ffs. We keep the ball well for most of the game but too much side to side passing for the sake of it and when we do misplace it, due to Ange trying to emmulate Pep Bayern, we are always severely short at the back.

    I know we are only one game into the season but I feel Ange needs to start pishing with the * he's got.

    Even his biggest fans admit he struggles with this, which is extremely alarming. He doesn't seem to give a * about defending or changing his style. Plan B is very much the same as Plan A.

    Every interview he's going on about 'the type of football we wanna play' etc. It is worrying

    I hope he takes the opportunity to ask why our goal was chalked off and why Halliday wasn't sent off for his tackle on McGregor.

    You know what I despair sometimes.

    Am I saying postecoglou is the man? Honestly do not know, leaning towards probably not.

    Has he been given a fair start? Absolutely not, not been close. This team has been neglected for a numbe rof years now.

    From listening to him speak, I trust he deserves a chance.

    We need to review the structure here. We cannot slate Lennon, postecoglou and any other manager that might follow. Their is something broken in how we operate here!?

    We never will to be honest his system requires a player of tierney quality on either flank Celtic will never ever have the money for two players of that ready quality

    Dundee and St Mirren SHOULD be easy enough games at home.
    Hearts in the cup though is gonna be more of the same.

    He needs to win those three.

    Even going out to Hearts in the cup, followed by a hun poor result - he won't get much longer than that.

    Yep and that was a big concern about him coming in. We knew what his style was going to be and we clearly don't and probably wont have those players. Bare minimum we need 7 or 8 players in..

    Won’t judge him until he is happy with the squad and has the players he needs to implement his ideas.

    However he will need to evolve his style and learn to be more pragmatic in certain situations.

    We need more physicality across the team particularly in defence and midfield. Set pieces alone cost us more than a dozen points last season.

    100% behind the big man until he’s got a full and settled team.

    That’s the way he will want to play. Why wait?

    Shambles but expected, probably going to be for another 2 months until all the new players are in and settled.

    Murder

    We can slate Lennon. He never criticised the board like Ange did after only 3 weeks in charge. Lennon always neglected any wrongdoing when it was obvious to anyone else. The board are * but they never told Lennon to * our fitness. Even with poor footballers you can at least make them the fittest in the league. And Lennon insulted us fans multiple times last season. He's a self rightous * and can * off.

    Not his fault, but he needs to make subs quicker, also his tactics mean that there are gaping holes in our defence, needs to adapt and quickly.

    The lack of proper preperation ahead of this season will cost us big time, it just to much to ask throwing new players in and hoping the team will gel straight away.

    This Board has bastardized our club to the point where we are a total embarrassment, it's gross negligence that beggars belief.

    Tonight was his fault. A loss is always the manager’s responsibility. Not good enough so far.

    I'm absolutely gutted he didn't make subs tonight when the game was getting away from us. I just don't understand why he left it so late.

    He certainly shoulders blame and made some questionable decisions tonight but starting this season with a worse defence than last season's which lost the League by 25 points, is all on the board.

    He needs help and he hasn't had it.

    We're in freefall still. The only thing that suspended it for 2 months was the close season.

    I am and have been convinced for a while that he will make it to January but we will dump him then as Sevco put us to the sword again and Steve Clarke will be the new manager as Scotland fail to qualify for the World Cup.
