    Sad state of affairs when he's our main man..

    Probably sums up our regression when an unfit and unprofessional Griffiths is our go to man..

    So Lennon throws all the players under the bus and once again singles out leigh Griffiths even though he was hooked at half time asking what his contribution was . There is only so many times he can try and use a player to deflect his failure .

    Every single player has got worse under Lennon this season that is a fact . Duffy who has done well in the premiership and Internationally looks like a amature. Laxalt looked decent when he came here but now looks clueless at times. The whole team looks unfit. Bayo and shved loan teams have both also pointed this out .

    Last week he made frimpong out to be some sort of traitor, he then destroyed our goalkeeper who already must be short of confidence in public once again ...
    .
    Now I'm starting to understand why the players revolted at hibs.

    It must kill Lennon to know that eleven if Griffiths is having a bad game his movem3nt creates chances . Every time he has taking Griffiths off Celtic stop creating chances

    Neil Lennon once again admitted his frustration with Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths ' fitness levels in his pre-match interview on Saturday - before hooking the 30-year-old at half-time in the shock 2-1 defeat to St Mirren.

    And after the game he rounded on his star, suggesting Griffiths was someone whose performance in the loss left something to be desired.


    Lennon was asked about Patryk Klimala and Albian Ajeti who remained on the bench when Griffiths came off at the break and although he was reluctant to criticise his £5m Swiss signing, he did suggest he was unhappy with what Griffiths had shown in the first half.

    He told the BBC: "I gave Ajeti half an hour today. You could look at Leigh (Griffiths) and his contribution as well.

    "It's not just about the players who have come in it's about some of the players who have been here for a while and just haven't performed."

    The manager has continually vented his annoyance over the Scotland star's failure to reach an appropriate physical level.


    It's a topic the pair haven't agreed upon with the former Wolves frontman claiming he can only get fully match fit by starting games.


    And he has a decent record when he has made the pitch, having scored six and assisted twice in 13 appearances this term.

    But Lennon told the BBC in the build-up to the match that his inability to get the star on the field has been a serious irritation.

    He said: "It is (a frustration) yes.

    "He has to look at his own responsibilities to himself as to why he hasn't played, why he hasn't played more.


    He's in the team at the minute and he's in decent form.

    "He can get better and still, for me, he can get in better condition but he's a wonderful goal scorer and a top talent when he's on form."

    Griffiths was ineffectual against St Mirren with Lennon replacing him with Tom Rogic after 45 minutes.

    Lennon needs to remember that without Griffith this season would have been even more of a disaster.

    We could have lost the quadruple treble without Griffs contribution.

    * griffiths as well btw. Putting on a stone over lockdown is unforgivable after the club stood by him with the mental health issues last year.

    He was * dire first half and his fitness is a complete embarrassment, he's been pish in most of the games he's played this season and its only been obscured because he's made a few contributions and eddy and ajeti have also been pish. Hopefully see the back of him in the summer he can join the pile of ex hibs * that've * away tons of potential and not had the careers they should've.

    Him and Lennon are the two testicles inside a crab ridden *.

    Two cancerous lumps that must be cut out the club before they kill us.

    Spot on.

    Both are the most obvious examples of how unprofessional and * the club is right now. Griffiths should have been punted long ago. Any manager with anything about them would have kicked him out on his * after he turned up for pre-season overweight and unfit.

    It's now almost February and he's still clearly massively unfit. He's a * disgrace.

    Very, very, easy target for Lennon.

    If he’s not pulling his weight then don’t play him at all you * idiot, you’re in charge. Sell him, loan him, put him in the stand.

    Because he came back unfit we had to play games without a striker. Hope he enjoys backing Lennon over the fans the other day for his manager to toss him under the bus today.

    If Griffiths doesnt drag two sr mirren defenders out of position today then Edouard doesnt score today.
    The man creates more than just goals and assists, he creates space, we made absolutely nothing till the 94th * minute after he was off, he's also the kind of player who can do nothing for 89 minutes but then score from 30 yards out with a minute to go so why would you ever sub him.
    if thats Griffiths being unfit then * does he have to do to get fit.
