    My patience has run out, put someone experienced on the manager post and make sure lenny stays as an assistant.

    what does it matter what you say? we are not getting the results and performances that are of a good enough standard. bottom line. Yeah just like we have to keep waiting and paying to see if Samaras eventually starts to score and perform. Get over yourself. Our tactics were non existant today and the team selection is inconsistant. He still doesnt even know his best XI. How much time does he need? 5 years?! Its not time he needs, he needs performances and results.

    Have to agree with much of what you say mate , but I dont think our buys have been bad - why would we have bought them otherwise ? I just think we are not utilising our new signings as we could - hopefully this will improve.

    Who would you choose? Some people may seem to find it difficult to choose between those options....

    The problem is the board picked him to save cash and curry favour with the diehards.

    When will people learn that being a good player doesn't make you a good manager? What did Mourinho, Wenger, Villas Boas, Fergie etc achieve?

    I think it's too early to call for Lennon as if Samaras had scored the pen last season we would have won the league. Plus he's made some great signings.

    But the defence is freaking awful, the worst I remember.

    No, I actually don't entirely agree. Lennon was a good appointment because he had been at the club for several years, and thus would have a good knowledge of the staff and players within it. It's not like he's unqualified, either, he clearly has his coaching badges, he hasn't been appointed solely because he is an ex, often fan-favourite player.

    yea blame samaras .. thats easy .

    Get a grip . The league was lost because we * it up against inverness as a team.

    Its easy to point the blame at one player isnt it?

    What kind of team talk did Lenny give the players at half time because we just never showed up second half.

    Even under O'Neill we heavily criticised our 3 man defence against the huns when Lovenkrands constantly scored against us.

    Really? With Caldwell and McManus, for all their faults, we never looked like shipping half a dozen goals to the huns.

    Didn't the huns stuff us 3-0 once with McManus and Caldwell in defence?

    Not good enough, why do we have to change who we are and how we play just because of THEM!!

    We are celtic we play attractive, positive and attacking football, just like we did against Motherwell but no we are playing the super rangers so we must change..bullshit!!

    The starting line up was poor, dont know what was said at halftime but those player came out as if they had won that game in 45min

    Lennon lacks the bottle of courage in the big games and time is running out

    Indeed!

    Option B, mate. The point is that, as much as we love Lenny, we cannot allow a cult of personality to develop when assessing his performance. I'm not calling for his head or anything, but he deserves serious criticism for his decisions (and lack thereof)

    I will try to sum up wot the problem is , 1 to many changes in team selections ,2 no defined system or shape =no disipline 3 we play far to many nothing balls in midfield that dont draw players out to give space,=far to slow going forward ,predictable.
    Front pairing is not set or suitable to win the league, not set because we have not found the right blend, look at the way they(rangers) burst from mid forward very quickly and also back to cover.
    our full backs are playing like wingers , they are defenders , pick your moments to go forward dont pick your moments to funell back and defend , so much wrong i cant be arsed anymore.

    thats another thing .. i doubt his man managment skills are up to scratch.. remember when O Neill & Strachan were interviewed on TV??.. you would hang on to there every word.. they had charisma!! Lennon mumbles his way through interviews. if hes like that in the changing room then theres no way he`d get the players geed up!

    lennon is tactically inept when it come to big or important games imo.
