    How do you know he didn't against the Huns? I thought he was easily one of our best players against them.

    On Wednesday. it's clear the games caught up with him a bit and/or he was carrying something. The fact that Lenny subbed him so early (which he never does) and rested him today confirms that for me anyway. Also, that's AC Milan FFS. No shame in being outplayed by them.

    It was a run from midfield that ntcham should have been tracking. But he switched off as always and didn't track it until too late

    Regardless of the result, you just have to look at how badly coached we are to see we need a change.

    As much as I want to agree I don’t know if the board would have the balls to sack him

    Again Ntcham is one of the most overated players we have ever had.

    We've got some really good players in that squad and pretty good strength in depth, but no matter which XI we pick or what formation we're lining up in - the performance is always the same.

    We're lacking ideas in attack and again there are no clear patterns when we're in forward areas. There's no rhythm to anything we do, and it's all too slow and pedestrian. Out of possession we're getting sucked out to the ball and pressing in areas where there's no immediate danger. The goal is a prime example. Frimpong, McGregor and Duffy are all drawn towards the play on the touchline and we leave a big gap for the runner who isn't picked uo early enough.

    Anyway, the point is the issue clearly isn't the players ability, and I don't think you can criticise the work rate or desire when it's not really been an issue before now. They're into the swing of the season nw and have played plenty of games so it's not a fitness issue. Are they unhappy? Unmotivated? Are they not being coached properly?

    Ultimately, this malaise is the responsibility of the manager and if he loses today then there will be huge pressure. Not getting too far ahead, but with a tough game in midweek and a semi-final next weekend the prospect of falling further off the pace in the League, losing our first two group games and then potentially being out of the cup and feven further behind in the League will be very hard to recover from.

    Big 45 minutes, but even if we come back to win it might only be papering over the cracks.

    Right wing is def a problem for me.

    To often Christie occupies a more central position, and allows their defence to narrow off.
    Only time we get past or beyond them is Frimpong ATM.

    Find it odd the bench haven't spotted this, and at least got Eli and RC to switch flanks for 5-10 minutes to get behind them.

    Yes they did want him dropped, but not for Ntcham. Which was your initial, and wrong, argument. Personally I wanted him dropped for Turnbull and would have dropped Ntcham for Rogic.

    Hatred:56:

    This is the problem with too many people. Look past your love and admiration for the two of them. Nobody hates them. Most of us just realise that right now they are more of a hinderance to the club.

    Myself, and many others, want what’s best for Celtic. Not what’s best for Lennon and Brown.

    Its more and more evident that it's a managerial/coaching problem, weve have no gameplan or strategy to our play. Weve completely stagnated under lennon.

    Better team by far just refusing to get shots away, criminal when you have Moi, Rogic, Christie and Ajeti all in the final third.

    Good half undone by a lazy tackle, pressure is huge now.

    With the sheep defence packed out and being so windy you have to wonder why we haven't had more shots from distance. Isn't that Rogic's strong point?

    nah mate could throw the whole team forward and it wouldnt matter

    they players arent working properly in the attacking third its as simple as that

    christie mo and rogic are attacking midfielders come suport strikers they should be looking to play one twos with each other and ajeti and get shots off and they arent doing that
