[Matchday] Celtic v Motherwell, Scottish Premiership, KO 3pm, Sat 6th Feb, Celtic TV

You could argue it was earlier but the two 4-1 defeats to Sparta were the last straw, or defo should have been.

Wee took Turnbull off and lost control, had to be Rogic at that stage..

So poor at managing games.

 

Didn't even realise that was our next game haha. Difference is a 4-0 doing and this * would probably still keep his job.

 

Too much space for opposing teams when Laxalts on but he did have that clearance at the end. Holding on again last 15 or so when we're 2 nil up should be piling the pressure on. Just aswell we didn't have Duffy on or * knows how that would have ended.

 

No idea why he has a hard on for taking Turnbull off.

You could see he was seething again when he did it.

I don't know if it's to keep up the pretence that he wasn't fully fit to start games earlier in the season but it needs to stop.

Soro was the only sub he made that had a positive impact on the game. The other 3 seen us surrender control of the game.

 

Walking about the house trying to forget that last ten minutes there, but am still raging.

Absolute embarrassment the shambles we end up what a team attacks us. Positioning all over the place and that's the experienced * like McGregor. * was he doing for their goal? That boy had about 15 yards free space about him with not a green jersey even knowing he was there. Runs at the defence and fair do's the ball deflected over the keeper.

But we are so * ragged it boils my blood. * amateurs.

 

Mcstay comes across very serious boring and mundane but actually think he talks a lot of sense , prefer that to guys like “ cheeky chappie ally McCoist constant quips trying to make everyone laugh, if I want to hear a 90 minute comedian I’ll stick on my Kevin bridges cd

 

Fitness.... you can see if a mile off
What are these guys doing in training ?

 

Think we won about 4 or 5 in a row up to the Huns game mate

 

When we lose the ball and teams come forward there is no defensive plan the opposition find space at will and the lack of marking is criminal too many times there is an overload on our full backs with the midfielder in front of them nowhere to be seen

 

I thought he was terrible today from Tierney to this * sake what a downgrade he is pish

 

Spot on with that mate and it’s glaringly obvious that the opposition can also see that, every team is sit compact frustrate them when we win it back, get up the park as quick as fk

 

He’s definitely a downgrade from tierney mate, don’t rate him either and aw ‘tis “ he gets a raw deal from the fans that isn’t warranted “, it is warranted in my opinion whether he’s the better option than laxalt, he’s still poor but today I thought his crossing and passing for most of the game was good and he also made a few telling challenges and interceptions today to stop a Motherwell attack and overall had a pretty good game today

 

Before we all start saying that we are back and everything is rosy, let's be hpnest here. This was not about Celitc playing brilliant football. This was a game all about Motherwell.

Their tactic for the most part while Celtic dominated was to have their fullbacks largely tuck in and stay back for the most part, and forfeit the attacking runs as well as even allowing Taylor & Kenny to play with the width. The Hoops spurned a few great opportunities, mostly through Eddy, but he wasn't alone.

The Motherwell changed their tactics and it wasn't Celtic dominating, it was all about holding on. But poor game management opened that door for Motherwell to get back into the game and create 2 more excellent chances that could easily have seen us finish the game with yet another draw.

So, let's not fool ourselves here. Yes, Celtic walked away with the 3 points, and for the frst hour of the game that seems deserving, but on the balance of the last 1/2hr, we were a little bit fortunate to climg on for the win. We got the result in the end, but if it had ended in yet another draw there could've been no one to blame but ourselves.

 

Gotta be honest mate Turnbull been excellent since he has came in but thought he was really poor and pretty anonymous in the game today thought we looked far more likely to get a goal today either scored or created by Rogic than we did through Turnbull

 

Don’t think anyone and I mean anyone would say “ we are back and everything is rosy“ mate , thing every person on this forum knows we are a million miles away from it

 

Any need for that about McStay and Boyd?

 

The good thing about the covid is there are no fans in the ground to boo them off the field.

 

First half Turnbull was great. Missed a chunk of the 2nd half so can't comment on that though.

 

Agree mate, guys are ex Celtic player s giving their opinions, who’s he looking for Billy Connolly and Kevin bridges, maybe not laugh a minute but both guys seem a couple of genuine guys
